17、is optional but shall be located inthe air supply outside of the aging chamber proper.5.1.5 The temperature should be automatically recordedover the entire test period using a temperature-measuringdevice capable of measuring at the specified temperature towithin 61C. Located in the upper central por

18、tion of thechamber near the center of the aging specimens. For apparatusnot equipped with automatic recording capabilities, tempera-ture shall be measured with sufficient frequency to ascertainthat the temperature limits specified in 10.2 are adhered to.5.1.6 Automatic temperature control by means o

19、f thermo-static regulation shall be used.5.1.7 The following special precautions shall be taken inorder that accurate, uniform heating is obtained in all parts ofthe aging chamber:5.1.7.1 The heated air shall be thoroughly circulated in theoven by means of mechanical agitation. When a motor-drivenfa

20、n is used, the air must not come in contact with the fan motorbrush discharge because of danger of ozone formation.5.1.7.2 Baffles shall be used as required to prevent localoverheating and dead spots.5.1.7.3 The thermostatic control device shall be so locatedas to give accurate temperature control o

Sampling6.1 The sample size shall be sufficient to allow

22、 for thedetermination of the original properties on three specimens andalso on three or more specimens for each exposure period 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

23、 test onthree dumbbells shall be considered sufficient. But 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 sample shall be considered

24、 to have failed tomeet the specifications.7. Test Specimens7.1 Dumbbell-shaped specimens prepared as described inTest Methods D412 shall be considered standard. Their formshall be such that no mechanical, chemical, or heat treatmentwill be required after exposure. If any adjustments (forexample, to

25、thickness) are necessary, they should be performedprior to exposure.7.2 The cross-sectional dimensions of test specimens forcalculating the physical properties shall be measured prior toexposure in the aging chamber. Gage lines used for measuringelongation shall be applied after the specimens have b

26、een aged.Only specimens of similar dimensions having approximatelythe same exposed areas may be compared with each other.8. 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

27、material for each exposureperiod of the test.8.2 When minimum requirements are specified, one testshall be made for tensile strength and elongation. If the resultsare below the specified requirements, two additional specimensshall be prepared from the original sample and tested. Shouldthe results of

28、 either of these tests be below the specifiedrequirements, the samples shall be considered to have failed tomeet the specifications.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 specim

29、ens shall be determined within 96 h ofthe start of the aging period. Results on specimens that arefound to be imperfect shall 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 deter

30、mine the original properties required in 9.1simultaneously with the determination of the values after thefirst aging period 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 temperat

31、ure. If possible, avoidsimultaneous aging of a mixed group of different compounds.For instance, high-sulfur compounds should 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 t

32、emperature may be any elevated stan-dard temperature as shown in Practice D1349, as agreed upon.NOTE 1Caution: It should be 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 certa

33、inoxidizing chemicals, the rate of oxidation may be catalyzed to such anextent as to become violent with increasing temperatures.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 d

34、epend on therate of deterioration of the particular material being tested.Intervals frequently used are 3, 7, and 14 days.10.4 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

35、 a rangeD573 04 (2015)2of periods, while for routine tests of known materials, fewerintervals may be employed.10.5 At the termination 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 befor

36、e determination of the physical properties. Apply thegage lines to the specimens for use in measuring elongations.11. Physical Tests of Aged Specimens11.1 The tensile strength and ultimate elongation or thestress-strain properties of the specimens aged for differentintervals shall be determined as t

37、he intervals terminate in theprogress of aging, disregarding the fact that more specimensmay still be aging. In determining the physical properties afteraging, the final values shall be the median of results from threespecimens except that under the following conditions twoadditional specimens shall

38、 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 the specifiedrequirements when testing for compliance with specifications.11.1.2 If referee tests are being made. After completion ofthe tests, the broken specimens shall

39、be examined visually andmanually and their condition noted.12. Calculation12.1 Express the results of the aging test as a percentage ofthe change in each physical property (tensile strength, ultimateelongation, or tensile stress), calculated as follows:P 5 A 2 O!/O# 3100 (1)where:P = percentage chan

40、ge in property,O = original value, andA = value after aging.13.

Precision and Bias414.1 This precision and bias section has been prepared inaccordance wi

42、th Practice D4483. Refer to this practice forterminology and other statistical calculation details.14.2 A Type 2 (interlaboratory) precision was evaluated in1974. Both repeatability and reproducibility are short term, aperiod of a few days separates replicate test results.Atest resultis expressed on

43、 the basis of a median value, as specified by TestMethods D412 obtained on three determinations or measure-ments of the property or parameter in question.14.3 Six different materials were used in the interlaboratoryprogram, these were tested in three laboratories on twodifferent days. These precisio

44、n results were obtained for avariety of compounds prepared in accordance with MethodsD15 prior to its removal from the Annual Book of ASTMStandards. Please see Annex A1 for more details on this work.14.4 The results of the precision calculations for repeatabil-ity and reproducibility for both percen

45、t tensile strength changeand percent elongation change are given in Table 1,inascending order of material average or level, for each of thematerials evaluated.14.4.1 The precision of this test method may be expressed inthe format of the following statements that use an appropriatevalue of r, R, (r),

46、or(R), that is, that value to be used indecisions about test results (obtained with the test method).The appropriate value is 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 test
