DIN ISO 3384:2008 Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic - Determination of stress relaxation in compression at ambient and at elevated temperatures (ISO 3384:2005);English version of DIN ISO 3384:2008-07
This International Standard specifies two methods for determining the decrease in counterforce exerted by a
test piece of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber which has been compressed to a constant deformation and
maintained thus at a predetermined test temperature.
Two forms of test piece are permitted: cylindrical test pieces and rings. Different shapes and sizes of test
piece give different results, and comparison of results should be limited to test pieces of similar size and
shape.
The use of ring test pieces is particularly suitable for the determination of stress relaxation in liquid
environments.
Testing at temperatures below standard laboratory temperature is not specified. The methods have been used
for Iow-temperature testing, but their reliability under these conditions is not proven.
