1.1These test methods cover the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the composition of rubber products of the “R” family (see 3.1). Many of these test methods may be applied to the analysis of natural and synthetic crude rubbers.
1.1.1Part Aconsists of general test methods for use in the determination of some or all of the major constituents of a rubber product.
1.1.2Part Bcovers the determination of specific polymers present in a rubber product.
1.1.3The test methods appear in the following order:
Part A. General Test Methods: | Sections |
Rubber Polymer Content by the Indirect Method | 11 – 13 |
Determinations and Report for the General Method | 14 and 15 |
Density | 16 |
Extract Analysis | 17 – 26 |
Sulfur Analysis | 27.1 – 33 |
Fillers Analysis | 34 – 40 |
Ash Analysis | 41 – 51 |
Part B. Determination of Rubber Polymers | 52 – 58 |
1.2The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific precautionary or warning statements are given in 31.4.5, 31.6, 37.4.2, 38.4.2, 45.1.3, 53.2.3.5, 54.4.2, 54.6, 56.5.3, and 57.7.3; and X1.3.3 and X2.4.1.6.
1.4This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
