Summary of Test Method4.1 A rubber test piece is contained in a die cavity whichmay be closed or almost closed and maintained at an elevatedtemperature. Th

18、e cavity is formed by two dies, one of which isoscillated through a small rotary amplitude. This action pro-duces a sinusoidal alternating torsional strain in the test pieceand a sinusoidal shear torque which depends on the stiffness(shear modulus) of the rubber compound.4.2 The stiffness of the rub

19、ber test piece increases asvulcanization proceeds. The test is completed when the re-corded torque rises to either an equilibrium or maximum value,or when a predetermined time has elapsed (see Fig. 1).Acurverepresenting the torque at peak strain in one direction of theoscillation cycle is continuous

20、ly recorded as a function of time.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used to determine the vulcanizationcharacteristics of (vulcanizable) rubber compounds.5.2 This test method may be used for quality control inrubber manufacturing processes, for research and developmenttesting of raw-rub

21、ber compounded in an evaluation formula-tion, and for evaluating various raw materials used in preparing(vulcanizable) rubber compounds.5.3 The test specimen in a rotorless cure meter approachesthe test temperature in a shorter time and there is a bettertemperature distribution in the test specimen

22、due to theelimination of the unheated rotor found in oscillating disk curemeters.5.4 Several manufacturers produce rotorless cure meterswith design differences that may result in different torqueresponses and cure times for each design. Correlations of testresults between cure meters of different de

23、signs should beestablished for each compound tested, and for each set of testconditions.6. Apparatus6.1 Rotorless cure meters of two types can be used. In eachcase, an oscillation of small amplitude is applied to one die.6.1.1 Unsealed Torsion Strain Rotorless Cure MeterThistype of cure meter measur

24、es the torque produced by an angularstrain of constant amplitude in a cavity that is not completelyclosed (see Fig. 3(a).6.1.2 Sealed Torsion Strain Rotorless Cure MeterThistype of cure meter measures the torque produced by an angularstrain of constant amplitude in a cavity that is completelyclosed

25、and sealed (see Fig. 4(a).6.2 Die CavityThe die cavity is formed by two dies. In themeasuring position, the two dies are fixed a specified distanceapart so that the cavity is almost closed (see Fig. 3(b), orclosed and sealed (see Fig. 4(a).6.2.1 The dimensions for typical torsional shear curemetersi

26、nclude biconical-shaped dies having a diameter of 40 6 2mm(1.57 6 0.08 in.), and an angle of separation ranging from 7 to18, depending on the manufacturers design. In the center ofthe dies, a separation equal to 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) plus the diegap should be maintained (see Fig. 3(b) or Fig. 4(b). Manu

27、-facturers guidelines should be followed to determine if thedies have been excessively worn and should be replaced.6.2.2 Die GapThe gap between the edges of the dies inthe closed position shall be between 0.05 and 0.20 mm (0.002to 0.008 in.), preferably 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) for unsealedcavities. For s

28、ealed cavities, no gap should exist at the edges ofthe dies.6.2.3 Die Closing MechanismA pneumatic cylinder orother device shall close the dies and hold them closed duringthe test with a force of not less than 8.0 kN (1820 lbf).6.3 Die Oscillating SystemThe die oscillating systemimparts a torsional

29、oscillating movement to one of the dies, inthe plane of the cavity.6.3.1 The amplitude of the oscillation should be 60.1 to63.0, preferably 60.5 of arc for torsional shear cure meters.6.3.2 The frequency of oscillation should be between 0.5and 2 Hz, preferably 1.7 6 0.1 Hz.6.4 Torque Measuring Syste

30、mA torque measuring systemshall measure the resultant torque.6.4.1 The torque measuring device shall be rigidly coupledto one of the dies and any deformation shall be negligibly smalland shall generate a signal which is proportional to the torque.The total error resulting from zero point error, sens

31、itivity error,linearity, and reproducibility errors shall not exceed 1 % of themeasuring range selected.NOTE 2The elastic deformation of the oscillating and measuringsystem should not be more than 1 % of the oscillating amplitude;otherwise, the curemeter curves must be corrected.6.4.2 The torque rec

32、order device shall be used to record thesignal from the torque measuring device. It shall record the Storque at maximum oscillation as a function of time.6.4.3 The torque recorder device shall be used to record thesignal from the torque measuring device. It shall record thetorque at maximum oscillat

The torque shall berecorded with an accuracy of 60.5 % of the range. Torquerecording devices may include analog chart recorders, printers,plotters, or computers.

34、6.5 Torque calibration equipment is required to measure theangular strain amplitude and to calibrate the torque measuringdevice. Examples of calibration equipment are shown in Fig. 5and Fig. 6. The amplitude of oscillation of the device shall bechecked with no test specimen in it.Adisplacement trans

35、ducershall be used to measure the amplitude and torque measure-ments shall be checked against standard masses using a deviceas shown in Fig. 5. An alternate technique shall use a torquestandard.6.5.1 For calibrating torsion shear curemeters, either adisplacement transducer and wire-mass calibration

36、or a torquestandard shall be used.6.5.1.1 A displacement transducer for checking angulardisplacement shall be coupled by a knife-edge bearing incontact with a rod fixed to one of the dies (see Fig. 5). Theforce measuring system shall be checked by loading a wire,attached to the die or block by a pul

37、ley, with masses corre-sponding to the full-scale force being measured. The torqueshall be calculated in this case from the product of the appliedforce and the radius of the die block where the wire is attached.D5289 1236.5.1.2 Torque standard calibration checks the torque mea-surement at the select

38、ed angular displacement by clamping areference steel torsion rod to the oscillating die and the torquemeasuring die of the torsion shear cure meter (see Fig. 6). TheFIG. 3 (a) and (b)Typical Unsealed Torsion Shear Rotorless CuremeterD5289 124reference values for angular displacement and correspondin

39、gtorque have been established by the manufacturer for eachtorque standard.6.6 Temperature Controlling SystemThe method of tem-perature control shall maintain the following process param-eters: heating up time, curing temperature, temperature distri-bution, and reference temperature, which are necess

40、ary forreproducible measurement of the vulcanization curve. Thetemperature control system shall permit the reference tempera-ture to be varied between 110C and 200C with an accuracyof 60.3C or better.6.6.1 Die shall heat up in 1.5 min or less from closure of thedie cavity.6.6.2 Once heating up time

The difference between thereference temperature and the average test specimen tempera-ture shall not be more than 2C.6.6.5 Temperature measurement accuracy shall be60.3C for the reference temperature sensor.6.7 Refe

43、rence Test TemperatureThe standard referencetest temperature shall be 160C (320F). Tests may be carriedout at other temperatures if required. Temperatures should beselected in accordance with Practice D1349.7. Sampling7.1 The sample shall be taken from a vulcanizable rubbercompound as required by th

44、e mixing method or other samplinginstructions.FIG. 4 Typical Sealed Torsion Shear Rotorless CuremeterFIG. 5 Displacement Transducer and Wire-Mass CalibrationEquipment for Torsion Shear CuremetersFIG. 6 Typical Torque Standard Calibration Device for TorsionShear CuremetersD5289 1257.2 The sample shal

45、l be homogeneous, in sheeted form, atroom temperature, and as free of air as possible.7.3 The temperature of the sample and its heat history cansignificantly affect test results. For referee testing and fortesting under controlled circumstances, the sample shall beconditions at 23 6 1C (73 6 2F) for

46、 at least 1 h beforetesting.7.4 In production control testing, samples may be testedwithout the conditioning period, but care should be taken tominimize temperature and heat history variations prior totesting.8. Test Specimen8.1 The recommended test specimen volume is between 3and6cm3, depending on

47、the instrument model being used.8.2 The test specimen should be circular, with a diametersmaller than the test chamber of the instrument to be used.8.3 The test specimen is considered to be of proper sizewhen a small bead of rubber compound is extruded uniformlyaround the periphery of the dies as th

48、ey are closed (116 to160 % of the test cavity volume). For an instrument with a testcavity volume of 3.44 cm3, this is achieved when the testspecimen volume is between 4.0 and 5.5 cm3(4.6 to 6.3 g ofrubber compound with a specific gravity of 1.15). Undersizedtest specimens can cause low cavity press

49、ure and low torquereadings. Oversized test specimens cool the dies excessivelyduring the early part of the test period, affecting the vulcani-zation characteristics.9.
