Description
Rubbers are important in many engineering applications because of their unique properties. These properties must be measured with appropriate test methods developed specifically for this class of materials. This book provides, in one volume, coverage of the procedures for measuring the whole range of physical properties of rubber. 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. This book should be useful for anyone concerned with evaluating rubber materials or with using material property data for design.
