1 were utilized. ) thick. By so doing, the author could make reliance upon Table 1 of ASTM D1460-86 (2010) for approximating the percentage change in volumevi. EXPERIMENTAL METHODOLOGY: Specimen formulas were designed using Orthogonal Arrays, per Taguchi, and are detailed infra. Orthogonal arrays are tables of numbers that allow for effective combinations of factors and levels for an experiment. This approach allowed the study of a small fraction of the possible combinations of factors (elastomer ingredients) and levels (ingredient loadings) to yield unbiased and meaningful results.
Figure 7 – Surface, pressure and temperature changes recorded during a pressure cycling event As pressure and temperature remain constant, it will take an additional 18 minutes for equilibrium swelling to be reached (cf. Figure 8). At that point, the sample is fully saturated in test gas and the surface change has reached 26%. No more gas can be absorbed by the material in these conditions of pressure, temperature and gas mix. If no chemical degradation is taking place in the elastomer, gas concentration and hence swelling can only be changed if pressure and temperature are varied.
High stiffness is crucial to resisting bubble growth during RGD events whereas high tear strength prevents crack propagation. Unfortunately, stiff compounds have low tear strength, which means that although crack initiation is difficult to bring about, once it happens propagation is usually sustained. It is therefore of great importance to reach a compromise between those two properties to optimise RGD resistance. Another intrinsic material property, which has an impact on RGD resistance, is diffusion.
