ASTM D429 Rubber Adhesion to Rigid Substrate Test Machine

ASTM D429 : rubber property – adhesion to rigid substrates

Summary:

This test method comprises eight different tests, providing data for the development and control of rubber compounds:

• Method A—Rubber Part Assembled Between Two Parallel Metal Plates

• Method B—90° Stripping Test—Rubber Part Assembled to One Metal Plate

• Method C—Measuring Adhesion of Rubber to Metal with a Conical Specimen

• Method D—Adhesion Test—Post-Vulcanization (PV) Bonding of Rubber to Metal

• Method E—90° Stripping Test—Rubber Tank Lining—Assembled to One Metal Plate

• Method F—Rubber Part Assembled Between Two Parallel Convex-Shaped Metal Plates

• Method G—Measuring Bond Durability for Rubber-to-Metal Bonded Components with a Double Shear Cylindrical Specimen

• Method H—Measuring Bond Durability for Rubber-to-Metal Bonded Components with a Quadruple Shear Specimen

These test methods are designed primarily for specimens prepared in a laboratory under standardized conditions such as may be used to provide data for development and control of rubber compounds and methods of manufacture. With slight modifications as indicated, Methods A, B, C, D, and E are also used for obtaining comparative adhesion test values of production parts whenever the design permits preparation of suitable test specimens. Methods A, B, C, and D are applicable in the case of many products in which rubber is used for controlling vibration.
