ASTM D1056 – Standard Specification for Flexible Cellular Materials—Sponge or Expanded Rubber Description: Abstract This specification covers flexible cellular rubber products known as sponge rubber and expanded rubber, but does not apply to latex foam rubber or ebonite cellular rubber. The base material for an open/closed cellular product may be made of synthetic, natural, or …
ASTM D1055 – Standard Specifications for Flexible Cellular Materials-Latex Foam (Withdrawn 2014) Description: Abstract These specifications, including test methods, apply to flexible cellular rubber products known as latex foam rubbers but do not apply to sponge and expanded rubbers. The base material used in their manufacture shall be natural rubber, reclaimed rubber, synthetic rubber, alone …
ASTM D1054 – Standard Test Method for Rubber Property-Resilience Using a Goodyear-Healey Rebound Pendulum (Withdrawn 2010) Description: Significance and Use The Goodyear-Healey3 rebound pendulum is designed to measure percent resilience of a rubber compound as an indication of hysteretic energy loss that can also be defined by the relationship between storage modulus and loss modulus. The …
ASTM D1053 – Standard Test Methods for Rubber Property—Stiffening at Low Temperatures: Flexible Polymers and Coated Fabrics Description: Significance and Use 4.1 These test methods may be used to determine the subnormal temperature stiffening of flexible polymers or fabrics coated with flexible polymers. Temperatures at which the low temperature modulus is a specified multiple or ratio …
ASTM D1052 – Standard Test Method for Measuring Rubber Deterioration—Cut Growth Using Ross Flexing Apparatus Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The test gives an estimate of the ability of rubber vulcanizates to resist crack growth of a pierced specimen when subjected to bend flexing. 4.2 No exact correlation between these test results and service is implied due …
