INTRODUCTION

T

is the eighth of a series of review articles on test methods for natural and synthetic rubbers. It covers both the physical and chemical methods reported in the literature betn-een November 1956 and October 1958. As in the case of previous reviews (1-7), test methods applied to compounding ingredients have been omitted except for those involving their qualitative or quantitative determination in rubber. Similarly, test methods applied to the raIv materials used in the manufacturing of synthetic rubbers have also been omitted. Procedures cwncerned with fundamental problems have been included only when they involve unique apparatus or techniques t h a t promise to be useful in the testing of rubber. Old procedures have been included only if modified or improved. It has not been possible to make a n exhaustively complete review because of the volume of the publishrd work. The literature cited has been divided into subject classes for convenience. HIS

A G I N G TESTS

Khile there have been several papers on the general oxidative aging of rubber or rubber articles in the past t u o years (5C, 8C, I Z C , 1 8 3 , the major literature has been in the field of ozone attack on elastomers. The ISO,Technical Committee 45 has reported the method proposed by the U.S.S.R. Committee for testing the ozone resistance of vulcanized rubber (6C). T h e Laboratoire de Recherches e t de Controle du Caoutchouc (7C) claimed a qualitatire if not quantitative correlation betneen accelerating aging tests in ozonized air and n eathering tests, nhile Vacca (IN7)indicated t h a t the carefully controlled laboratory test cannot be eypected to correlate completely with natural m a t h e r i n g in the presence of a nide variability in ozone concentration, sunlight, and rainfall. J’eith, on the other hand, attempted to improve t h e laboratory tests by overcoming certain deficiencies in the prescnt .UT11 D 1149 - 55T method of test for accelcrdted ozone cracking of vulcanized rubber (It7C). H e interpreted the results obtained from a n interlaboratory ozoiie test program of ASTM D-1 1 Subcommittee 15-1957 ( I Y C ) as cncouraging in that the agreement betn-een the participating laboratories ivas about the same as in other phases of interlaboratory testing of ru bbcr . T’acca and Lundbeig (I&‘) showed that a standard accelerated ozone test in conjunction with a 100” C. air-oven test gives a reliable criterion of expected service life of neoprene wire jackets, but questioned the value of a Weatheroineter for this purpose. Farbenfabriken Baycr A.-G. (SC, 4C) published the description and application of a method for testing surface cracking of 1-ulcanizates using cylindrical tubes as specimens. Carlson and Harenhill (ZC) described a new ozone fleu tester n hich combines dynamic and static conditions of test, Van Pul ( I C ) developed a n apparatus especially suited for exposure of rubber specimens to low ozone conceiitrationsbetween 5 slid 50 X lo-* parts by volume.

( I 9 C ) described a n apparatus capable of combined light and ozone testing a t higher ozone concentrations. Phelan (9C) and Phelan and Dunkel (IOC) found that the rate of change of the apparent ozone resistance of a given polymer with changes in testing variables is a function of t h e polymer tested and, as a result, suggested a n ozone test which they claim can most accurately predict the weathering pcrformance of one polymer compound as compared to another. The paper of Regener and Olnier ( I I C ) described two methods for measuring ozone concentration, nhile the patent of Allison, Delman, and Simms ( I C ) described a method for evaluating antiozonant chemicals.

LOW TEMPERATURE TESTS

Some low temperature test methods with particular reference to recent I S 0 recommendations were presented by Edlvards ( 2 s ) . Kebber (YS) reviewed existing methods for determining brittleness of elastomers at lon- temperatures. H e concluded that ASTJI Method D 746 is the only suitable method a t present for routine testing purposes. Craig ( I S ) as a result of a study of high speed impact tests at low temperatures, concluded t h a t the ,4ST;\I Method D 746 is the only consistently reproducible test of those investigated even though it did not agree with failure temperatures in field performances. The C.S.S.R. Komitet StaiidartoT(6.Y) proposed a brittleness test based on the highest temperature a t n.hich t h e specimen breaks or cracks under specified impact conditions. Ofner (5-47)studied the effect of impact speed on t h e brittle temperature of elastomers. H e recommended that the prese n t impact speed of 6.5 be raised to 12 feet per second. Hanok, Chatten, and Lichtman coni-

pared a number of instruments for measuring hardness of elastomers at low temperatures (3s) and stress decay ( 4 S ) . Several instruments proved suitable for hardness measurernents; a tensile stress decay instrument was superior to t h e several compression types studied. TIRE TESTING

Thornley (22P) has given a general account of test methods used in evaluating tire compounds including both laboratory and service tests. Fromandi, Clamroth, and Oettner (IOP) reported on t h e statistical assessment of tire tests on the Siirburgring. These studies indicated t h a t results could be predicted more reliably when the tests were made using tires with divided treads rather than tires n ith uniform treads. Riehl (ISP)discussed the increased severity of tread n e a r in tires and the need, not only for improved tire construction, b u t also for more severe testing conditions and described facilities for the latter. Beharrell ($E‘), anticipating new speed records, described a machine for testing tires a t speeds u p to 650 miles per hour. Stiehler and Gregg ( 2 f P )have patented a device for testing tires under simulated service conditions of load, pressure, road surface, speed, and cornering. Roniani (dUP) described a trailer used for studying tires while running on t h e road. Carr and Daw (4P)invented a device for testing tubeless tires and Benjamin (3P) one for determining the optimum degree of inflation for a tire under load to ensure maximum safety and w a r . I n a study of the wear of passenger car tires Geesink and P r a t ( I I P ) described a test severity factor expressed in terms of the absolute n e a r of a reference tire during the same test run. I n another article, P r a t ( 1 7 P ) discussed correlation b e h e e n laborator) abrasion and road testing in terms of this factor. T h e follo\T,ingthree articles discussed the general subject of research in automobile stability and control and in tire performance: Milliken and K h i t comb (16P)discussed a program of dynamic research; Close and Xuzzey ( 5 P ) described a device to measure the six force-and-moment components in a tire and nheel rolling along a road surface, nhile the slip angle. camber angle, load, and breaking effort are varied; Fonda (SP)discussed tire tests and the interpretation of experimental data. Roberts and Cough ( f 9 P ) described a precision test machine for measuring cornering force and aligning torque over a range of camber and slip angles. Zakharov and Novopol’skil (23’) proposed a new method for measuring the forces in the contact area of tire and VOL. 31, NO. 4, APRIL 1959

road b y a tensometric device which fits on the IPS-1 drum tester. Gokhale ( 1 P ) also described a simple method of determining stress intensities a t diflerent points on the contact patch between the tire and road. Constantakis (6P) has patented a device for testing the traction properties of a tire tread on s n o x or ice. Metzeler Gummiwerke A. G. (16P) described a n oscillographic apparatus for measuring the effects of local deformation on tires under varying conditions of inflation pressure, velocity, temperature, road surface, and type of vehicle. Frenzel and Kittelman (9P) critically reviexved the static and dynamic stresses t h a t tires undergo and the test methods used to determine the response of the textile components of tires to these stresses. Several patents ( I P , 7 P , I S P , 14P) have been issued for devices used in measuring tire thump and related matters. MISCELLANEOUS
