ASTM D6204-19a Measurement of Unvulcanized Rheological Properties of Rubber Using Rotorless Shear Rheometers
ASTM D6204-19a test method is used to determine the flow properties of raw rubber and unvulcanized rubber compounds using an oscillating shear rheometer. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.
Scope:
ASTM D6204-19a test method is used to determine flow properties. These viscoelastic properties may relate to factory processing behavior. This test is used for quality control in rubber manufacturing processes. It is also used for research and development testing of raw rubber and rubber compounds. This test is also used for evaluating compound differences resulting from the use of different compounding materials.
Test Procedure:
In ASTM D6204-19a test method, the flow properties of rubber are measured by a rheometer. A rheometer is a device used to measure how a liquid, suspension, or slurry flows in response to applied forces.
A rubber test specimen is placed in a die cavity, closed, and maintained at an elevated temperature. The die cavity is constructed by two dies, one of which is oscillated through a rotary amplitude. This produces a sinusoidal torsional strain in the test specimen, resulting in a sinusoidal torque, which measures the viscoelastic quality of the test specimen.
These viscoelastic measurements are made based on (1) a frequency sweep, in which the frequency is programmed to change in steps under constant strain amplitude and temperature conditions, (2) a strain sweep, in which the strain amplitude is programmed to change, or (3) a temperature sweep, in which the temperature is programmed to either increase or decrease. Rheological properties are measured for each set of frequency, strain, and temperature conditions.
Specimen size:
The test specimen should be circular, with a diameter smaller than the test chamber of the instrument to be used.
The test specimen is of proper size when a small bead of rubber compound is extruded uniformly around the periphery of the dies as they are closed. Undersized test specimens can cause low cavity pressure and low torque readings. Oversized test specimens cool the dies excessively during the early part of the test period, affecting the vulcanization characteristics.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
