TEST DETAILS There are many abrasion testing protocols available for general and specialized applications. Two common examples are ASTM D5963 and ASTM D3389. . ASTM D5963—Standard Test Method for Rubber Property—Abrasion Resistance (Rotary Drum Abrader) ASTM D5963 is...
Test Details ASTM D1329 provides a way to quickly and consistently evaluate both the viscoelastic properties of rubber along with the effects of crystallization at low temperature. With established correlations to low-temperature compression set and brittleness...
ASPHALT VISCOSITY TEST DETAILS The asphalt viscosity test method described in ASTM D4402 uses a rotational viscometer to measure a material’s resistance to rotation at a given temperature. A thermal chamber heater is also used to bring the sample up to the appropriate...
Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) GC-MS is an incredibly powerful method for quantifying and identifying highly volatile compounds. The elements contained within a sample are separated based on volatility as they travel through the gas...
Temperature Retraction Testing ASTM D1329 Temperature retraction testing with ASTM D1329 gives you valuable information about crystallization and the viscoelasticity of your product at low temperatures. The method quickly evaluates these properties through a...
