1、Designation: D 531 00 (Reapproved 2005)Standard Test Method forRubber PropertyPusey and Jones Indentation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 531; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last r

2、evision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination

3、of the inden-tation of rubber or rubber-like materials by means of the Puseyand Jones type of plastometer. This apparatus is used tomeasure the depth of indentation of an indentor, under fixedforce into the surface of a specimen.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.1.3

4、 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Docu

6、tice that prevails in thisdocument is referenced in the Precision section.3. Significance and Use3.1 The Pusey and Jones indentation value is the depth ofindentation, expressed in hundredths of a millimetre, of a ball3.175 mm (0.1250 in.) in diameter under an expressed force of9.8 N (2.2 lbf). This

7、value may be used to compare theindentation resistance of rubber and rubber-like materials.3.2 The indentation value obtained should not be confusedwith hardness as measured by Test Method D 1415, since in thelatter test the rubber immediately adjacent to the indentor isprecompressed.4. Apparatus4.1

8、 Plastometer, an instrument consisting of an indentor, amass for applying the stated force on the indentor, a microme-ter for indicating the depth of the indentation, a specimenholder and support.4.1.1 Indentor, for indenting the specimen, consisting of avertical steel shaft attached, at the upper e

9、nd to a depthindicator gage, and terminating in a steel sphere having adiameter of 3.175 6 0.015 mm (0.1250 6 0.0005 in.) ofpolished, noncorrosive hard metal treated to resist wear.4.1.2 Mass, the mass shall be 1000 6 0.01 g.4.1.3 Depth Indicator Gage, a micrometer attached to theplastometer, either

10、 an electronic digital gage or analog dialgage, capable of displaying indentor movement (indentation)in increments of at least 0.01 mm (0.0004 in.) and having travelof 0 (zero) to no less than 3 mm (0.12 in).4.1.4 Support, a support frame, or fixture, for the plastom-eter, shall be configured so tha

11、t the specimen holder and hence,the specimen, are perpendicular to the indentor support shaftand that the mass may be independently raised or loweredvertically, permitting the indentor to rest on the surface of thespecimen and the mass to be subsequently applied.4.1.5 Specimen Holder, for the standa

12、rd, or reference speci-men described in 5.1, shall consist of a clamping fixture of twometal plates secured by two threaded bolts. The uppermostplate shall have a hole and a slot, as depicted in Fig. 1, to allowfor the unencumbered introduction of the indentor to thespecimen.4.1.5.1 The purpose of t

13、he specimen holder is to support thespecimen in a manner that reduces, or eliminates, relativepositioning or movement that may adversely affect test deter-minations.4.1.5.2 In routine testing, a specimen holder, a support, orboth, of other, but similar, configurations may be employed toaccommodate s

Test Specimens5.1 The standard, or reference, test specimen shall be auniform molded rectangular block a minimum of 13 mm (0.51in.) in thickness, 30 mm (1.18 in.) in width, and 75 mm (2.951This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM

31、ior to themass being applied to the indentor and operates continuouslyduring a test to overcome any friction in the apparatus. Aninstrument that vibrates approximately 120 times per s, with anamplitude of vibration of the fixed platform of the testervarying from approximately 0.002 to 0.005 mm (0.00

32、01 to0.0002 in.), has been found satisfactory.6.4 Such a vibrator may consist of a simple-cored solenoidfastened to the top of a C-shaped piece of strap steel. The lowerpart of the solenoid core is a loose cylindrical piece of steelwith a shoulder at its lower end. When the current is off, theloose-

33、cored section rests on a screw projecting from the bottomof the C-shaped support. When the current is on, the loose-cored section is attached to the solenoid but is restrained by aflat split ring of spring brass through which the cored sectionpasses, and which bears on the shoulder of the cored sect

34、ion.The cored section is caused to vibrate by the alternating forcesof attraction by the solenoid and repulsion by the flat ringacting as a spring. A small plate bearing a toggle switch forclosing the circuit to the solenoid is fastened to the top of theC-shaped piece of strap steel by means of the

35、same bolt thatholds the solenoid. The bottom of the C-shaped piece isfastened by screws to a portion of a brass nut that serves toclamp the vibrator to one upright post of the tester.7. Laboratory Atmosphere and Test SpecimenConditioning7.1 The tests shall be conducted in the standard laboratoryatmo

Refer to Practice D 4483 forterminology and other testing and statistical concepts.9.2 The Pusey and Jones Indentat

40、ion Plastometer is usedmainly in the rubber roll industry. In this program no inter-laboratory precision data were obtained due to the limited useof this test method. The precision program consisted of tests byone operator on three different (in-house) instruments on threedifferent days. Four materi

41、als were tested. A test result is themedian value of three separate (determinations) indentationmeasurements.9.3 Table 1 gives the within and among “instrument”precision. Repeatability refers to within instrument variation;reproducibility refers to among (between) instrument variation,with the same

42、operator for both.9.4 BiasIn test method statistical terminology, bias is thedifference between an average test value and the reference ortrue test property value. Reference values do not exist for thistest method since the value or level of the test property isexclusively defined by the test method

43、. Bias, therefore, cannotbe determined.3Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and maybe obtained by requesting Research Report RR: D111028.TABLE 1 Special Precision ResultsPusey and Jones IndentationMaterial Mean LevelWithin InstrumentABetween InstrumentAS(w) r(w)(r)(w)
