1 Scope

This document specifies a method for the rapid determination of the plasticity of raw rubber and unvulcanized compounded rubber.

This document is applicable to the determination of the plasticity retention index (PRI) as specified in ISO 2930.

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

3.1
plasticity number
measure of plasticity, based upon the height of a test piece after being subjected to deformation under specified conditions of compressive force, time and temperature

4 Principle

A disc-shaped test piece is compressed rapidly between small parallel platens to a fixed thickness of 1 mm. The test piece is maintained at this compression for 15 s to enable it to reach approximate temperature equilibrium with the platens. After this period, the test piece is subjected to a constant compressive force of 100 N ± 1 N for 15 s. Its thickness at the end of this period is taken as the measure of plasticity.
