This action produces a sinusoidal torsionalstrain in the test specimen resulting in a sinusoidal torque,which measures the vis

Typically two repeat strainsweeps may be programmed consecutively to quantify thePayne Effect,3which is the reduction in dynamic storagemodulus from strain softening of the rubber vulcanizate.5. Signif

19、icance and Use5.1 This test method is used to determine the vulcanizationcharacteristics of (vulcanizable) rubber compounds under se-lected test conditions of strain and frequency which do notsignificantly affect the cured dynamic properties. In the sametest, this test method also will measure the d

20、ynamic propertiesof the vulcanizate at temperatures significantly below the curetemperature. These lower temperature measurements are nec-essary in order to more effectively relate to rubber productservice conditions.5.2 This test method may be used for quality control inrubber manufacturing process

21、es and for research and develop-ment testing of rubber compounds containing curatives. Thistest method also may be used for evaluating cure and dynamicproperty differences resulting from the use of different com-pounding ingredients.5.3 For additional information regarding the significance ofdynamic

Apparatus6.1 Torsion Strain Rotorless Oscillating Rheometer with aSealed CavityThis type of rheometer measures the elastictorque S8 and viscous torque S9 produced by oscillating angularstrain of set amplitude and frequenc

23、y in a completely closedand sealed test cavity.6.2 Sealed Die CavityThe sealed die cavity is formed bytwo conical surface dies. In the measuring position, the twodies are fixed a specified distance apart so that the cavity isclosed and sealed (see Fig. 1).6.3 Die GapFor the sealed cavity, no gap sho

At the center of the dies, the die gap shallbe set at 0.45 6 0.05 mm.6.4 Die Closing MechanismFor the sealed cavity, a pneu-matic cylinder or other device shall close the dies and holdthem closed during the test with a force not less than 11 kN(2500 lbf).6.5 Die Os

25、cillating SystemThe die oscillating systemconsists of a direct drive motor, which imparts a torsionaloscillating movement to the lower die in the cavity plane.6.5.1 The oscillation amplitude can be varied, but a selec-tion of 0.2 arc (62.8 % shear strain) is preferred for the curetest while strains

26、from 61to6100 % are preferred for theafter-cure strain sweeps. The oscillation frequency can bevaried between 0.03 Hz and 30 Hz.6.6 Torque Measuring SystemThe torque measuring sys-tem shall measure the resultant shear torque.6.6.1 The torque measuring device shall be rigidly coupledto the upper die,

27、 any deformation between the die and deviceshall be negligibly small, and the device shall generate a signal,which is proportional to the torque. The total error resultingfrom zero point error, sensitivity error, linearity, and repeat-ability errors shall not exceed 1 % of the selected measuringrang

28、e.6.6.2 The torque recording device shall be used to record thesignal from the torque measuring device and shall have aresponse time for full scale deflection of the torque scale of 13A.R.

Torque recording devices may includeanalog chart recorders, printers, plotters, or computers.6.6.3 A reference torque device is required to calibrate thetorque measurement system. A torque standard may be used tocalibrate

30、 the torque measuring system at the selected angulardisplacement by clamping a steel torsion rod to the oscillatingand the torque measuring dies of the torsion shear rheometer(see Fig. 2). The reference values for angular displacement andcorresponding torque shall be established by the manufacturerf

31、or each torque standard.6.7 Reference Test TemperatureThe standard referencetest temperature for cure shall be either 140C, 160C, or180C while dynamic property measurements after-cure (dy-namic property measurements made after completion of thecure test) should be made at either 100C or 60C. Tests m

32、aybe carried out at other temperatures, if required. Other tem-peratures should be selected in accordance with PracticeD 1349 when practical.6.8 Temperature Control SystemThis system shall permitthe reference temperature to be varied between 40C and220C with an accuracy of 60.3C or better.6.8.1 The

33、dies shall heat to the set point temperature in 1.0min or less from closure of the test cavity. Once the initialheating up time has been completed, die temperature shall notvary by more than 60.3C for the remainder of a cure test ata set temperature. When the set temperature is changed in aprogramme

34、d temperature sweep or strain sweep, dynamicproperty measurements should not be recorded until the dietemperatures are within 60.3C of the new set temperature forat least 30 s.6.8.2 Temperature distribution within the test piece shall beas uniform as possible. Within the deformation zone, a toler-an

35、ce of 61C of the average test piece temperature shall not beexceeded.6.8.3 Die temperature is determined by a temperature sensorused for control. The difference between the die temperatureand the average test piece temperature shall not be more than2C. Temperature measurement accuracy shall be 60.3C

37、cm3for the sealed cavity oscillating rheometer. Thespecimen volume should exceed the test cavity volume by asmall amount, to be determined by preliminary tests. Typically,specimen volume should be 130 to 150 % of the test cavityvolume. Once a target mass for a desired volume has beenestablished, spe

38、cimen masses should be controlled to within60.5 g for best repeatability. The initial test specimen shapeshould fit well within the perimeter of the test cavity.7.2 Compounded Rubber SpecimensTest specimens shallbe taken from a rubber compound as required by the mixingmethod or other sampling instru
