IRHD measuring method 1. Scope This Annex specifies the measuring method of IRHD hardness uttable for the rubber having hardness withis range of 30 IRHD to 85 IRHD. Remarks 1, This Annex is equivalent to the technical contents specified in 1S0 48: 1979 [Valcanized rubbers — Determination of hardness (Hardness between 30 IRHD and 85 TRED)]. 2, This measuring method may be applied to the rubber of 30 IRHD to 95 IRKD. 2, Principle of measuring method The hardness of rubber shall be determined by measuring the difference between the depths of indentor (needle) by applying the primary and secondary loads to the rubber with the indentor (needle) having the top of a round ball. 3. Tester For the tester, a micro hardness tester as given in Annex Fig. Tis used as an example. The detailed dimensions, load and loading time of the measuring part of this tester are as described in Annex Table 1.

Test piece 4.1 Dimensions of test piece The dimension of test piece shall be as follows? (1) Both the upper and lower measuring surfaces of test piece shall be flat, smooth and parallel to each other. (2) The width of test piece shall have the dimension in which the measuring point is 2 mm or more apart from the end of test piece. However, when the measuring point is under 2 mm apart from the end of test piece, the test piece shall be measured as far apart from its end as possible, 4.2 State of test piece The state of test piece shall be as follows: (1) The test piece shall be the one left for 16 h or more (72h or more, If possible) after vulcanization. (2) When the test is carried out at a standard test temperature, the test piece shall be preliminarily made under such state for 3h or more. (3) When the test can not be carried out at a standard test temperature, the test piece shall be left sufficiently until it reaches the same temperature as that at the test place. 5, Test temperature The standard test temperature shall be either one of 20°C Class Por UIC Class 2. 6. Test method ‘The test shall be carried out in the following order and the method: (2) Coat the front and back faces of test piece with talcum powder thinly. (2) Place the test piece horizontally on a test piece table. (3) Put a foot on the test piece. (4) Apply the primary load for 5 s. (5) Set the graduation of dial gauge at 100. (6) Then, apply the secondary load for 30 s and read the graduation of dial gauge.24 D 2609-1993 7. Measuring frequency As for one test piece, measurement shall be carried out at three or five points. 8. Marking Hardness shall be marked with IRHD by indicating in integer the median of values measured at three points or five points as in the above 7. 9.
