Scope

This Malaysian Standard specifies the compression flexometer test for the determination of the temperature rise and resistance to fatigue of vulcanised rubbers. The flexometer specified is known as the Goodrich flexometer, but any other apparatus giving equivalent performance may be used. The standard provides directions for carrying out measurements which make possible predictions regarding the durability of rubbers in finished articles (tyres, bearings, supports, V-belts, cable pulley insert rings and similar products subject to dynamic flexing in service). However, owing to the wide variations in service conditions, no simple correlation between the accelerated tests described in this Malaysian Standard and service performance can be assumed. The method is not recommended for rubber having a hardness greater than 85 IRHD.
