Physical Testing of Rubber


Book Description

Physical testing of Rubber is an essential reference for anyone concerned with evaluating rubber materials or with using material property data for design. There is much new and updated material, due to improvements made to apparatus by the introduction of advanced instrumentation and automation, and many changes in international standards. A number of subjects common to all areas of physical testing are addressed. These include discussion of the reasons for testing, the trends in test development, the use of statistics and quality control of laboratories.




Physical Testing of Rubber


Book Description

Rubber is important in many engineering applications because of its unique properties. These properties must be measured with appropriate test methods developed specifically for this class of materials. This book provides, in one volume, comprehensive coverage of the procedures for measuring the whole range of the physical properties of rubber. This new edition presents an up-to-date introduction to the standard methods used for testing, quality control analysis, product evaluation, and production of design data for rubber and elastomers. Factors to be incorporated in the revision include the effects of newer instrumentation, the cutting back of laboratory staff, increased demands for formal accreditation and calibration, trend to product testing, overlap of thermoplastic elastomers with plastics and increased need for design data.

Physical Test Methods for Elastomers


Book Description

This book provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of physical testing of elastomers (rubbers and thermoplastic elastomers) including mechanical, electrical, thermal and all aspects of durability. Elastomers are an important class of materials used in such products as tyres, seals and hose which have markedly different properties to other materials. The importance of testing of elastomers means that a comprehensive text on the subject is essential. The advantage over general materials testing books is being more specific while the advantage over general rubber technology books is that testing is dealt with in depth.
