SAE J17-2009 PDF

Scope: These specifications and methods of testing apply to cellular-rubber products known as latex foam rubbers but do not apply to sponge and expanded rubbers. The base material used in their manufacture may be natural rubber@ reclaimed rubber@ synthetic rubber@ or rubberlike materials@ alone or in combination. In case of conflict between the provisions of these general specifications and those of detailed specifications or methods of test for a particular product@ the latter shall take precedence. Reference to methods for testing cellular-rubber products should specifically state the particular test or tests desired. The SAE Committee on Automotive Rubber Specifications has concluded@ that in light of the fact that SAE J17 is a mirror image of ASTM D 1055@ SAE J17 will be eliminated in the year 2005. Rationale??SAE C.A.R.S. Membership does not include expertise in the latex foam arena. ASTM Subcommittee D20.22 maintains a document@ ASTM D 1055 (vol. 8.01)@ of which SAE J17 has been a mirror image in the past. Users should refer to ASTM D 1055.
