Significance and Use

4.1 These test methods cover the evaluation of rubber materials or fabrics coated therewith subjected to low-temperature flex with an impact under well-defined conditions of striker speed. The response is largely dependent on effects of low temperatures such as crystallization, incompatibility of plasticizer, or the inherent dynamic behavior of the material itself. Data obtained by these test methods may be used to predict the product behavior in applications where the conditions are similar to those specified in these test methods.

4.2 These test methods have been found useful for specification and development purposes but do not necessarily indicate the lowest temperature at which the material may be used.

Scope

1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the lowest temperature at which rubber vulcanizates and rubber-coated fabrics will not exhibit fractures or coating cracks when subjected to specified impact conditions.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
