6、hat prevails in thisdocument is referenced in the Section 9.3. 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 value may be u

7、sed 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 D1415, since in thelatter test the rubber immediately adjacent to the indentor isprecompressed.4. Apparatus4.1 Plastometer, a

8、n 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 end to a depthin

9、dicator 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 an electronic

10、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 that the specimen

11、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 standard, or referenc

12、e 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 the specimen hol

13、der is to support thespecimen in a manner that reduces, or eliminates, relativepositioning or movement that may adversely affect test deter-minations.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Commitee D11 on Rubberand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D11.10 on Physical Testing.

16、 but similar, configurations may be employed toaccommodate specimens other than those described in 5.1,refer to 5.1.1.5. 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

17、 mm (2.95in.) in length. The upper and lower surfaces, those oppositesurfaces with the largest area, shall be parallel to within 60.5mm (60.20 in).5.1.1 The standard, or reference, test specimen shall be usedwhen the plastometer is employed for the purpose of determin-ing a standard, or reference, e

18、ither within or between labora-tories, that is, in other than routine testing.5.2 In routine testing, specimens may be used with aconfiguration other than those of the standard, or reference, testspecimen described in 5.1.6. Procedure6.1 Measurement of Indentation of Standard, or ReferenceSpecimens:

19、6.1.1 When measuring the indentation on a standard, orreference specimen as described in 5.1, secure it in thespecimen holder (refer to Fig. 1 and Section 4.1.5) with thebolts tightened sufficiently to hold it firmly without measurablecompression.6.1.2 Place the specimen holder on the support.6.1.3

20、Mount the plastometer over the specimen so that theindentor shaft is perpendicular to the support and hence thespecimen holder, to within 60.05 mm (60.002 in).6.1.4 The plastometer and support shall be placed upon aflat surface in a manner that prevents unsteadiness or move-ment other than described

21、 in 6.3.6.1.5 Lower the indentor shaft until the indentor is at themoment of contact with the specimen.6.1.5.1 Adjust the depth indicator gage to record indenta-tions up to 3 mm (0.12 in).6.1.5.2 Adjust the depth indicator gage so the displayindicates zero.6.1.6 Lower the mass onto the indentor, in

22、a fashion thateliminates shock, until the mass rests fully on the indentor.6.1.7 The amount of indentation displayed on the depthindicator gage 60 s (61 s) after the application of a total forceof 9.8 N, shall be recorded.6.1.8 Make no less than 3 such determinations on thespecimen at least 13 mm (0

23、.51 in) apart and from any edge.6.1.9 The median of the determinations, expressed as awhole number indicating hundredths of millimetres, shall bereported as the Pusey and Jones Indentation Value, refer to8.1.1.6.2 Measurement of Indentation of Specimens for RoutineTests (Nonstandard Specimens):6.2.1

24、 When making determinations on specimens other thanthose described in 5.1, specimen holders, supports or othersuitable fixturing, similar to those previously described, may beemployed and the procedure in 6.1 may be followed, other-wise:6.2.2 Mount the plastometer over, or directly upon, thespecimen

25、, so that the indentor shaft is vertical and perpendicu-lar to the specimen surface and both are level, as determined bymeans of a spirit level or similar device.6.2.3 Position curved (convex or concave) or irregularlyshaped specimens, so that the center line of the indentor shaftis perpendicular to

26、 the tangent of the specimen at the point ofcontact of the indentor and that determinations shall be made inaccordance with 6.2.8.6.2.4 The plastometer and specimen, or any fixtures em-ployed, shall be secure and situated in a manner that preventsunsteadiness or movement other than described in 6.3.

29、tion of a total forceof 9.8 N, shall be recorded.6.2.8 Make no less than 3 such determinations on thespecimen at least 13 mm (0.51 in) apart and from any edge.6.2.9 The median of the determinations, expressed as awhole number indicating hundredths of millimetres, shall bereported as the Pusey and Jo

30、nes Indentation Value, refer to8.1.1.6.2.10 When tests are performed on specimens other thanthose described in 5.1 and without the specimen holder andsupport the results shall be compared only to those obtained onsimilarly configured specimens under similar conditions.6.3 VibratorA small vibrator th

31、at is activated prior 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

32、 to 0.005 mm (0.0001 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

33、 is off, theloose-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

34、 of the cored section.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 stee

35、l by means of the 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 stand

36、ard laboratoryatmosphere as defined in Practice D618, Terminology: “stan-dard laboratory atmosphere.”7.2 Test specimen conditioning shall be in accordance withPractice D618, Standard Procedures for Conditioning Prior toTest: Procedure A.7.3 These conditions may be modified if agreed uponbetween labo

38、ance with Practice D618.8. Report8.1 State that the test was made in accordance with thisdesignation and include the following information:8.1.1 The Pusey and Jones indentation number,8.1.2 Description of test specimen including dimensions,8.1.3 Date of vulcanization, if known,8.1.4 Duration and tem

39、perature of vulcanization, if known,8.1.5 Temperature of test room, and8.1.6 Date of test.9. Precision and Bias39.1 These precision statements have been prepared in ac-cordance with Practice D4483. Refer to Practice D4483 forterminology and other testing and statistical concepts.9.2 The Pusey and Jo

40、nes Indentation 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.

41、 Four materials were tested. A test result is themedian value of three separate (determinations) indentationmeasurements.9.3 Table 1 gives the within and among “instrument”precision.
