Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Determination of compression stress-strain properties

Scope

ISO 7743:2017 specifies methods for the determination of the compression stress-strain properties of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber using a standard test piece, a product or a part of a product.
Four procedures are given:
- using standard test piece A with the metal plates lubricated (method A);
- using standard test piece A with the metal plates bonded to the test piece (method B);
- using standard test piece B (method C);
- using a product or a part of a product with the metal plates lubricated (method D).
The methods are not suitable for materials that exhibit high set.
