Long Term Instrumented Stress Relaxation
Test ID
M-266
Description
stress relaxation frames are now available for measuring force/stress decay over long periods of time. Rubber samples are placed into the compression relaxation frames, compressed to a predetermined strain and force decay is captured with a load cell over long time intervals.
Options
Testing can be performed at various temperatures as well as strains.
Standards
- ASTM D6147
Data
Final Stress, Initial Stress, Loss, Stress Relaxation Curve. This data appears in Matereality as Stress Relaxation.
Replicates
Number of times this test is repeated: 2
Samples
5 prisms [details]
Application
This test is useful for determining retention of sealing stresses and long term performance of gaskets.
