Caoutchouc vulcanisé ou thermoplastique — Détermination des propriétés de contrainte/déformation en compression

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.
