swnia01s Compression set- Wikipeca, the free encyclopedia Compression set From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The compression set (ASTM D395) ofa material is the permanent deformation remaining when a force (that was applied to it) is removed. The term is normally applied to soft materials such as elastomers. There are two ways this is normally measured; compression set A and compression set B.l!) Compression Set A This has the formal name Compression Set Under Constant Force in Air. In compression set A a force of 1.8 KN is applied to the specimen for a set time at a set temperature. Compression set A is defined as the percentage of original specimen thickness after the specimen has been left in normal conditions for 30 minutes (therefore C4, the compression set A is given by Cq = [(ta~ ti) / to] * 100 where ty is the original specimen thickness and t; fer testing).21 s the specimen thickne: Compression Set B This has the formal name Compression Set Under Constant Deflection in | The specimen is compressed 25% of its original height for a set time and at a set temperature, Compression set B is (like Compression set A) defined as the percentage of original specimen thickness after it has been left in normal conditions for 30 minutes (therefore Cp, the compression set Bis given by Cp = [(tp- ti) / (tp ~ ty)] * 100 where t, is the original specimen thickness, t; is the specimen thickness after testing and t, is the spacer » A diagram of the thickness or the specimen thickness during the test).0) Compression set A experiment References (Compression Set Under Constant Force in Air). 1.
