16、g each other or the sides of the agingchamber.5.1.3 The heating medium for the aging chamber shall be aircirculated within it at atmospheric pressure.5.1.4 The source of heat is optional but shall be located inthe air supply outside of the aging chamber proper.5.1.5 The temperature should be automat

17、ically recordedover the entire test period using a temperature-measuringdevice capable of measuring at the specified temperature towithin 61C. Located in the upper central portion of thechamber near the center of the aging specimens. For apparatusnot equipped with automatic recording capabilities, t

When a motor-drivenfan is used, the air must not come in contact with the fan motorbrush discharge because of danger of ozone formation.5.1.7.2 Ba

Sampling6.1 The sample size shall be sufficient to allow for thedetermination of the original properties on three specimens andalso on three or more specimens for each exposure peri

22、od ofthe test. At least 24 h must elapse between completion of thevulcanization of the samples and the start of the aging test.6.2 When minimum requirements are specified, one test onthree dumbbells shall be considered sufficient. But if the resultsare below the specified requirements, two additiona

23、l specimensshall be prepared from the original sample and tested. Shouldthe results of either of these tests be below the specifiedrequirements, the sample shall be considered to have failed tomeet the specifications.7. Test Specimens7.1 Dumbbell-shaped specimens prepared as described inTest Methods

24、 D 412 shall be considered standard. Their formshall be such that no mechanical, chemical, or heat treatmentwill be required after exposure. If any adjustments (forexample, to thickness) are necessary, they should be performedprior to exposure.7.2 The cross-sectional dimensions of test specimens for

25、calculating the physical properties shall be measured prior toexposure in the aging chamber. Gage lines used for measuringelongation shall be applied after the specimens have been aged.Only specimens of similar dimensions having approximatelythe same exposed areas may be compared with each other.8.

26、Number of Test Specimens8.1 At least three test specimens shall be used to determinethe original physical properties of each sample and also threeor more specimens of the same material for each exposureperiod of the test.8.2 When minimum requirements are specified, one testshall be made for tensile

27、strength and elongation. If the resultsare below the specified requirements, two additional specimensshall be prepared from the original sample and tested. Shouldthe results of either of these tests be below the specifiedrequirements, the samples shall be considered to have failed tomeet the specifi

28、cations.9. Tests of Unaged Specimens9.1 The stress-strain properties or tensile strength and ulti-mate elongation and any other required properties of theoriginal unaged specimens shall be determined within 96 h ofthe start of the aging period. Results on specimens that arefound to be imperfect shal

29、l be discarded and retests shall bemade.9.2 When rubber compounds are to be tested for the purposeof determining compliance with specifications, it shall bepermissible to determine the original properties required in 9.1simultaneously with the determination of the values after thefirst aging period

30、even though the elapsed time exceeds 96 h.10. Procedure for Accelerated Aging10.1 Place the specimens for aging in the oven after it hasbeen preheated to the operating temperature. If possible, avoidsimultaneous aging of a mixed group of different compounds.For instance, high-sulfur compounds should

31、 not be aged withlow-sulfur compounds and those containing antioxidants shallnot be aged with those having no antioxidants. Some migrationis known to occur.10.2 The operating temperature may be any elevated stan-dard temperature as shown in Practice D 1349, as agreed upon.NOTE 1Caution: It should be

32、 noted that, for each 10C increase intemperature, the rate of oxidation may be approximately double. Withrapid aging types of rubber or those containing or contaminated by certainoxidizing chemicals, the rate of oxidation may be catalyzed to such anextent as to become violent with increasing tempera

33、tures.10.3 Start the aging interval at the time the specimens areplaced in the oven and continue for a measured time interval.The selection of suitable intervals of aging will depend on therate of deterioration of the particular material being tested.Intervals frequently used are 3, 7, and 14 days.1

34、0.4 Use aging intervals such that the deterioration will notbe so great as to prevent determination of the final physicalproperties. In experimental work, it is desirable to use a rangeof periods, while for routine tests of known materials, fewerintervals may be employed.D57304210.5 At the terminati

35、on of the aging interval, remove thespecimens from the oven, cool to room temperature on a flatsurface, and allow them to rest not less than 16 h nor more than96 h before determination of the physical properties. Apply thegage lines to the specimens for use in measuring elongations.11. Physical Test

36、s of Aged Specimens11.1 The tensile strength and ultimate elongation or thestress-strain properties of the specimens aged for differentintervals shall be determined as the intervals terminate in theprogress of aging, disregarding the fact that more specimensmay still be aging. In determining the phy

37、sical properties afteraging, the final values shall be the median of results from threespecimens except that under the following conditions twoadditional specimens shall be exposed and tested and themedian of the values for the five specimens shall be used:11.1.1 If one or more values do not meet th

38、e specifiedrequirements when testing for compliance with specifications.11.1.2 If referee tests are being made. After completion ofthe tests, the broken specimens shall be examined visually andmanually and their condition noted.12. Calculation12.1 Express the results of the aging test as a percentag

39、e ofthe change in each physical property (tensile strength, ultimateelongation, or tensile stress), calculated as follows:P 5 A 2 O!/O 3 100 (1)where:P = percentage change in property,O = original value, andA = value after aging.13.

Refer to this practice forterminology and other statistical calculation details.14.2 A Type 2 (interlaboratory)

42、 precision was evaluated in1974. Both repeatability and reproducibility are short term, aperiod of a few days separates replicate test results. A test resultis expressed on the basis of a median value, as specified by TestMethods D 412 obtained on three determinations or measure-ments of the propert

43、y or parameter in question.14.3 Six different materials were used in the interlaboratoryprogram, these were tested in three laboratories on twodifferent days. These precision results were obtained for avariety of compounds prepared in accordance with MethodsD 15 prior to its removal from the Annual

44、Book of ASTMStandards.

46、 that value of r or R associated with amean level in the precision tables closest to the mean levelunder consideration at any given time, for any given material inroutine testing operation.14.5 Repeatability The repeatability, r, of this test methodhas been established as the appropriate value tabul

Two single test results, obtained under normaltest method procedures, that differ by more than this tabulatedr (for any given level) must be considered as derived fromdifferent or non-identical sample populations.14.6 Reproducibility The reproducibility, R, of this testm
