14、 HThe appropriate method for specimens hav-ing a thickness described in Section 6, and a hardness of 85IRHD to 100 IRHD.3.2 In all procedures, the hardness in International RubberHardness Degrees (IRHD) is derived from the difference inpenetrations and a table or graph constructed from the table. In

15、the micro-tester procedure, the difference in penetration mustfirst be multiplied by scale factor 6. Alternatively, the penetra-tion measuring instrument may be calibrated directly in IRHD.4. Significance and Use4.1 The International Hardness test is based on measure-ment of the penetration of a rig

16、id ball into the rubber specimenunder specified conditions. The measured penetration is con-verted into IRHD, the scale of degrees being so chosen that 0represents a material having an elastic modulus of zero, and100 represents a material of infinite elastic modulus.4.1.1 The scale also fulfills the

17、 following conditions overmost of the normal range of hardness: one IRHD rangerepresents approximately the same proportionate difference inYoungs modulus, and for rubber vulcanizates in the usualrange of resilience, readings in IRHD are comparable withthose given by a TypeAdurometer (Test Method D22

18、40) whentesting standard specimens.4.1.1.1 The term “usual range of resilience” is used toexclude those compounds that have unusually high rates ofstress relaxation or deformational hysteresis. For such com-pounds, differences in the dwell time in the two hardness tests(Test Methods D2240 and D1415)

19、 result in differences inhardness values. Readings may not be comparable whentesting curved or irregularly shaped test specimens.4.1.2 For substantially elastic isotropic materials like well-vulcanized natural rubbers, the hardness in IRHD bears aknown relation to Youngs modulus, although for marked

20、lyplastic or anisotropic rubbers the relationship will be lessprecisely known.4.1.3 The relation between the difference of penetration andthe hardness expressed in IRHD is based on the following:4.1.3.1 The relation4between penetration and Youngsmodulus for a perfectly elastic isotropic material:D 5

Thiscurve is defined as follows:4.1.3.3 The value of log10M corresponding to the midpointof the curve is equal to 0.364, that is, M = 2.31 MPa or 335 psi.4.1.3.4 The maximum slope is equal to 57 IRHD per unitincrease in log10M.5.

23、The essential parts of the apparatus are as follows, theappropriate dimensions and loads being given in Table 1:5.1.1 Vertical Plunger, terminating in a rigid ball.5.1.2 Force Applicator, for applying a minor force and amajor force to the ball, the mass of the plunger, and of anyfittings attached to

24、 it, and the force of any spring acting on itshall be included in determining the minor and major forces.This is in order that the forces actually applied to the ball shallbe as specified.5.1.3 Measuring DeviceA mechanical, optical, or electri-cal device graduated either in standard units of length

25、or inIRHD for measuring the increase in depth of penetration of theplunger caused by the major load.5.1.4 FootA flat annular-shaped foot that is rigidly fas-tened to the penetration-measuring device and normal to the4This relation is approximate and is included as an indication.TABLE 1 Apparatus Req

Test Specimen6.1 Tests intended to be comparable must be made onspecimens of the same thickness that have smooth, flat, andparallel upper and lower surf

32、aces. Up to three specimens maybe plied to obtain the required thickness. The dimensions of thespecimen depend on the test type being used to measure thehardness.6.2 Types S1 and S2The Types S1 and S2 specimens shallbe between 8 and 10 mm in thickness. Nonstandard specimensmay be either thicker or t

33、hinner but in no case less than 2 mmthick. The lateral dimensions of both standard and nonstandardspecimens shall be such that no test is made at a distance fromthe edge of the specimen less than the appropriate distanceshown in Table 2.6.3 Type MThe Type M specimen micro-hardness testsshall be 2 6

34、0.5 mm in thickness. Nonstandard specimens maybe either thicker or thinner but in no case less than 1 mm thick.The lateral dimensions of both standard and nonstandardspecimens shall be such that no test is made at a distance fromthe edge of less than 2 mm. When specimens thicker than 4 mmare tested

35、on the micro tester because lateral dimensions or areaof flatness do not permit testing on a standard tester, the testshall be made at a distance from the edge as great as possible.Curved specimens, for example, O-rings, may be tested withthe micro-hardness tester if the specimens are mounted in suc

36、ha manner as to prevent movement during the test, but thevalues obtained may not be comparable to those obtained withflat specimens.6.4 Type LThe Type L specimens shall be 10 to 15 mm inthickness. Standard specimens may be either thicker or thinnerbut in no case less than 2 mm. Nonstandard specimens

37、 may beeither thicker or thinner but in no case less than 6 mm. Thelateral dimensions of both standard and nonstandard specimensshall be such that no test is made at a distance from the edgeof the specimen less than the appropriate distance shown inTable 2.6.5 Type HRefer to 6.2 (Types S1 and S2).7.

38、 Test Temperature7.1 The test shall be normally carried out at 23 6 2C (73.46 3.6F). The specimens shall be maintained at the testtemperature for at least 3 h immediately prior to testing.Specimens that are sensitive to atmospheric moisture shall beconditioned in an atmosphere controlled to 50 6 5 %

Press theplunger, with the minor force on the indenting ball, verticallyonto the specimen for 5 s.8.2 If the gauge is graduated directly in IRHD, turn thebezel of the gauge so that the pointer indicates 100 (exercisecare to avoid exerting any vertical p

43、ressure on the gauge). Addthe major force to the plunger and maintain the total force onthe ball for 30 s (Note 3). Record the reading on the gauge asthe hardness in IRHD.NOTE 3During the loading periods, the apparatus shall be gentlyvibrated to overcome any friction.8.3 If the measuring device is g

44、raduated in inch units, recordthe movement of the plunger caused by application of themajor load for 30 s. If the Type M micro-hardness tester isused, multiply this movement by the scale factor of 6. Convertthe value obtained into IRHD by using Table 3 or a graphconstructed therefrom.8.4 If the meas

45、uring device is graduated in metric units, thedifferential indentation, D, (in hundredths of a millimetre) ofthe plunger caused by the additional indenting force (the majorload) for 30 s, shall be noted. If the Type M micro-hardnesstester is used, multiply this movement by the scale factor of 6,as g

46、iven in Table 3 (a) for Types S1 and S2, Table 3 (b) forType H, and Table 3 (c) for Type L. Convert the value obtainedinto IRHD by using Table 3 (a-c) or a graph constructedtherefrom.8.5 Make one measurement at each of three or five differentpoints distributed evenly over the specimen. Take the medi

47、anof these measurements rounded to the nearest displayed unit ofIRHD (whole numbers for analog instruments and 0.1 units fordigital instruments, if so equipped), and record the result as thehardness value.TABLE 3 Relationship of IRHD and Penetrations DifferencesTypes S1, S2, and Type MNOTETable 3 is
