Summary of Test Method4.1 A cord specimen is sandwiched between two layers ofrubber compound test stock in a form resembling an “H,”placed in a heated mold, and cured at a specified temperatureand pressure. The test specimen sandwich is then cut to createan

11、H-test specimen consisting of a single cord with each endembedded in the center of a tab end of the rubber test block(Fig. 1). The test specimen is placed in the grips of the tensiletester, and then the grips are separated. The maximum forceobtained is the H-test adhesion force.5. Significance and U

12、se5.1 Test Method D 4776 for the determination of the H-testadhesion of reinforcing cords to rubber compounds may beused for the acceptance testing of commercial shipments ofreinforcing cords but caution is advised since informationabout between-laboratory precision is incomplete. Compara-tive tests

13、 as directed in 5.1.1 may be advisable.5.1.1 In cases of dispute arising from the differences inreported test results when using Test Method D 4776 foracceptance testing of commercial shipments, the purchaser andthe supplier should conduct comparative tests to determine ifthere is statistical bias b

14、etween their laboratories. Competentstatistical assistance is recommended for the investigation ofbias. As a minimum, the two parties should take a group of testspecimens which are as homogeneous as possible and whichare from a lot of material of the type in question. The test1This test method is un

The average results from the twolaboratories should be compared using Students t-test forunpaired data and an acceptable probability level chosen by thetwo parties before testing begins. If a

18、 bias is found, either itscause must be found and corrected or the purchaser and thesupplier must agree to interpret future test results in light of theknown bias.5.2 This test method is used to measure the force required toextract the cord from a rubber compound test block.5.3 This test method is d

19、esigned to test the adhesion oftextiles that are bonded to rubber compounds. Variables thatmay contribute to differences in results of this test methodinclude adhesive type, adhesive application procedure, adhe-sive cure, fiber type, construction of cords, rubber type, rubbercure, and rubber thickne

20、ss.5.3.1 The deleterious effect of ozone in combination withatmospheric moisture on the ability of adhesives to bond withrubber requires assiduous protection of cords prior to embed-ment.5.4 The expected range of values which characterize accept-able adhesion can be determined in any cord-rubber com

21、bina-tion with experience. For this reason, the purchaser normallyestablishes a minimum level of adhesion to be obtained by thesupplier in either the suppliers laboratory or the purchaserslaboratory using either the suppliers standard rubber com-pound or the purchasers rubber compound.5.5 Another pr

22、ocedure for testing adhesion of cords torubber compounds is Test Methods D 4393 . This procedurehas been used extensively in the trade for acceptance testing.Results obtained by this method cannot be used interchange-ably since there is no overall correlation between them.6. Apparatus and Materials6

23、.1 Tensile Testing MachineAlthough a constant-rate-of-extension (CRE) tensile testing machine is preferred, aconstant-rate-of-traverse (CRT type, pendulum type) may beused. The specification and methods of calibration and verifi-cation of these machines shall conform to Specification D 76.The testin

24、g machine shall be equipped with an autographicrecorder (rectilinear coordinates preferred) or an interfacecomputer. There is a distinct difference between the CRE andCRT type testing machines. Consequently, they cannot be usedinterchangeably unless a mathematical correlation has beenestablished and

25、 agreed upon by the purchaser and supplier.6.2 Curing Press, capable of maintaining a minimum pres-sure of 3.5 MPa (500 psi) over the total area of the moldsurface, equipped with 300 by 300 mm (12 by 12 in.) platensor larger, and capable of a platen temperature control within63C (65F) of the tempera

26、ture specified for curing therubber compound.6.3 MoldsThe design of the molds shall be as shown inFig. 2. The dimensions of the test specimen are controlled bythe specifications and tolerances of the mold. The dimensionsof the mold (6.40 mm 0.250 in. embedment) in Fig. 2a shallbe used for cords with

27、 a dtex of 1100/2 or less. The dimensionsof the mold (9.52 mm 0.375 in. embedment) in Fig. 2b shallbe used for cords with a dtex larger than 1100/2. The slot sizefor each mold shall be 1.17 mm 6 0.13 mm (0.46 in. 6 0.005in.).6.4 Specimen GripsThe design of the specimen gripsshall be as shown in Fig.

28、 3. Two grips are required.6.5 Tensioning MassesThe masses may be of the hooktype, or designed in such a manner that they can be clamped tothe cord. In any event, the total mass shall be 50 g.6.6 Sheeted Rubber Compound, (sometimes called skimstock), supported on a non hygroscopic backing, such as a

29、plasticizer-free plastic material. Polyethylene film has beenfound to be satisfactory. The thickness of the rubber stockrequired to fill the mold properly shall be determined byexperience. As a guide, the thickness of the rubber stock shouldbe not less than 8 % greater than one-half of the mold cavi

30、tydepth. In any event, the thickness is agreed upon between thepurchaser and supplier.6.6.1 Rubber stock properties are best maintained by stor-age in a cool, dry atmosphere. Excessive rubber stock moisturemay lower adhesion of some fiber/rubber composites.6.6.2 Rubber compounds exhibit wide variati

31、ons in shelflife (properties suitable for good adhesion results) dependentupon both composition and storage condition. Rubber com-pounds are usually replaced after three months; however, somemay require replacement within a few weeks. In any event,storage conditions and shelf life should be specifie

32、d by thesupplier of the rubber compound.6.7 Timers, having 60 min capacity,12 min intervals.FIG. 1 H-Test SpecimenD47760426.8 Marking Pen, silver ink for rubber.36.9 Shears, for trimming.6.10 Gloves, of temperature resistant material.6.11 Mold Release Lubricant , A suitable mold releaselubricant may

33、 be applied to the empty mold to facilitate testblock removal. Excess lubricant shall be wiped from the moldand particularly from the slots provided for the cords. Thelubricant should not be applied when exposed cord is in thearea, and should only be used when absolutely necessary. Useof mold releas

34、e lubricant should be reported on the test report.NOTE 1The use of mold release lubricant is not recommended. Themold should be covered permanently with Teflont or, preferably, with astainless stell reinforced nonstick cating such as Excaliburt.7. Sampling7.1 Lot SampleAs a lot sample for acceptance

35、 testing,take at random the number of primary sampling units directedin an applicable material specification or other agreementbetween the purchaser and the supplier. Consider shippingcases of cord to be the primary sampling units. Exercisecaution in sampling and handling so that samples receivemini

36、mum exposure to ambient atmosphere and light prior torubber embedment. This can be accomplished by storing thesample in a sealed, black plastic bag. Rayon is particularlysensitive to moisture pick-up (which negatively affects adhe-sion) and should be handled accordingly.NOTE 2A realistic specificati

37、on or other agreement between thepurchaser and the supplier requires taking into account the variabilitybetween primary shipping units and within primary shipping units so as toprovide a sampling plan with meaningful producers risk, consumers risk,acceptable quality level, and limiting quality level

38、.7.2 Laboratory SampleTake at random the number ofpackages per shipping case in the lot sample directed in anapplicable material specification or other agreement betweenthe purchaser and the supplier.7.3 Test SpecimensPrepare 15 specimens, or other num-ber as agreed upon between the purchaser and th

39、e supplier,from each sample as directed in Section 8.8. Preparation of Test Specimens8.1 Cut the rubber stock in strips 6 mm (0.25 in.) wide and150 mm (6.0 in.) long, leaving the protective film attached.This may be done with shears or with a clicker die.3Available from Fisher Pen Co., Forest Park,

40、IL.NOTE 1The mold as shown will produce 30 specimens. It may befabricated to produce a larger or smaller number, but the dimensions thatgovern the specimen size shall not be altered.NOTE 2A mold cover plate must be provided. It should be 9.5 mm(.38 in.) thick and the same outside dimensions (“K” and

The use of a preheated moldwill alter the curing conditions (time and temperature) of the rubber.8.3 Remove the protective fil

45、m from the rubber test strips,then place the individual rubber test strips in the mold cavitieswith the protective film side on top.8.4 Place the cords in the cord slots by cutting cord testspecimens allowing sufficient overhang for attaching massesand tie a knot in both ends. Take care to prevent t

46、he loss of cordtwist. The portion of the cord that is embedded in rubber mustnot be touched by the bare hand. Attach a 50 g mass on oneknotted end of the test cord. Two cords may be tied togetherand used to fill adjacent slots; a 100 g mass is used in this case(Fig. 4). Place one end of the knotted

47、test specimen so that itis snubbed firmly against the cord slots on one side of the mold.8.5 After all the cord slots are filled, remove the protectivefilm from the additional strips of rubber and place them in themold cavities on top of the cords. The side from which theprotective film was removed

48、will be down. Identify eachspecimen with a silver ink marking pen.8.6 Place the cover plat on the mold, then remove themasses and place the mold in a preheated press. Adjust thepressure to a minimum of 3.5 MPa (500 psi) with reference tothe mold surface. Vulcanize for the specified time at thespecif

49、ied pressure and temperature. Immediately remove themold assembly from the hot curing press.8.7 Remove mold cover plate then carefully remove theconstructed rubber and cord test pad from the test mold cavityand cool at room temperature.
