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.

An interlaboratory study conducted by the ASTM F06.33 Task Group on Abrasion and Wear has shown that a correlation exists between the Frick-Taber Method for measuring abrasion resistance and in situ wear. This is a verification of results obtained on European flooring reported by Otto F. V. Frick, National Institute for Material, Stockholm, Sweden. Dr. Frick developed the original grit feeding device which is now manufactured in the United States in a modified form. ASTM Subcommittee F06.30 on Resilient Flooring directed that this work be done to show that a correlation exists using the commercially available abrasion equipment on flooring manufactured in the United States.

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.

Interlaboratory and intralaboratory reproducibility has been shown for a method to measure wear on resilient flooring. The work was done by the ASTM F06.33 Task Group on Abrasion and Wear, using a loose-grit feeding device as an attachment on the Taber abraser. Otto F. V. Frick, National Institute for Material Testing, Stockholm, Sweden, developed the original feeding device, now called the Frick-Taber Attachment. This prototype feeder was modified and subsequently manufactured in sufficient quantity to carry out this program. The coefficients of variation of volume loss between six cooperating laboratories using five different resilient floorings were found to be no greater than 20%. Within any one laboratory, the coefficients of variation were approximately 10% or less. A ranking of equivalent flooring materials according to the wear expected from wear tests reported in the literature corresponds with the loss results found in this effort. The F06.33 Task Group has concluded that the technique has sufficient precision to be recommended as a method to measure wear on resilient flooring.
