Scope L.1 This classification system covers the properties of vul canized rubber materials (natural rubber, reclaimed rubber, synthetic rubbers, alone or in combination) that are intended for, but not limited to, use in rubber products for automotive applications. Nore [This classification system may serve many ofthe needs of other industries in much the same manner as SAE numbered secs Itmust be remembered, howover, that this sysiem is subject fo revision when required by automotive needs is recommended that the latest revision always be used. 1.2 This classification system is based on the premise that the properties of all rubber products can be arranged into characteristic material designations. These designations are determined by types, based on resistance to heat aging, and ‘lasses, based on resistance to swelling in oil. Basic levels are thus established which, together with values describing addi tional requirements, permit complete description of the qué of all elastomeric materials, 13 In all cases where the provisions of this classification system would conflict with those of the detailed specifications for 2 particular product, the latter shall take precedence. [Nore 2—When the rubber products tobe used for purposes where the requirements are too specific to be completely prescribed by this clasi- fication system, iis necessary forthe purchaser to consul the supplier in ‘advance, to establish the appropriate properties, test methods, and sp fication test ini 1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.

Likewise, choice of class is based on the ‘ange of volume swell nonmally expected from such commercial compo- sitions as established by type. The fact tha a type and class of material is listed in Table 6, under Basic Requirements, indicaes that materials that ‘meet these requirements for heat and ofl resistance are commercially availabe. 45 The letter designations shall always be followed by a three-digit number to specify the hardness and the tensile sirength—for example, 505. The firs digit indicates durometer hardness, Type A, for example, 5 for 50 * 5, 6 for 60 + 5. The next two digits indicate the minimum tensile strength—for example, 05 for 5 MPa, 14 for 14 MPa. Correlation of available materials for desired harness and tensile strength is obtained through the elongation values in Table 6. See 7.2. 5. Grade Numbers, Suffix Letters, and Number 5.1 Grade Numbers—Since the basic requirements do not always describe sufficiently all the necessary qualities, provi- sion is made for deviation or adding requirements through a system of prefix grade numbers. Grade No, 1 indicates thet only the basic requirements are compulsory, and no suslix requirements are permitted, Grades other than No. 1 are used for expressing deviation or additional requirements and are listed as “Available Suffix Grade Numbers” in the last column under Basic Requirements in Table 6. A grade number is, written as a material prefix number preceding the letters for type and class (see 9.1). Grade No. 1 is always an available suffix grade number, and thus is not referenced in the last column of each basic requirement table, 5.2 Sufix Letters—The suffix letters that may be used, together with their meaning, appear in Table 3. 5.3 Sufix Numbers—Each suffix letter should preferably be followed by two suffix numbers (see Note 6 in 8.1). The frst suffox number always indicates the test method; time of test is part ofthe method and is taken from the listings in Table 5. The second sufi number, if used, always indicates the temperature of test and is taken from Table 4, Where three-digit numbers are required, they are separated by a dash—for example: —1 B410; FI-I1 6. Composition and Manufacture 6.1 This classification system is predicated upon mate furnished under a specification based thereon being manu tured from natural rubber, reclaimed rubber, synthetic rub alone or in combination, together with added compound ingredients of such nature and quantity as to produce Vules zales that comply with the specified requirements. All mater and workmanship shall be in accordance with good comm cial practice, and the resulting product shall be free of por. areas, weak sections, bubbles, foreign matter, or other defe affecting serviceability 6.2. Color—With the exception of FC, FE, FK, snd « ‘materials, the values in the material (ables are based on ble compounds and comparable values may not be availeble color. 7. Basic Requirements 7.1. The basic requirements for physical properties specif in Table 6 are based on values obtained from stand laboratory test specimens prepared and tested in accord with the applicable ASTM test methods. Test results fn specimens prepared from finished products may not dupic, values obtained from standard test specimens. Nore 5—When standard test specimens ae cut from fished pa accordance with Practice D 3183, a deviation tothe extent of 105% tem strength snd elongation values only) is permisble when ago upon bythe purchaser andthe supple.

Also, these i repetition of the values for the basic heat and cil as requirements for the material resulting from the assignment type and class. In addition, values for compression set, n mally a basic requirement to ensure proper vulcanization, specified. 73 Unless a sullix requirement is used 10 override existing basic requirement, the basic requirement applies. * Tens values ar shown as pounds per squelch in Tle 6 fo infor ony, ‘TABLE 5 ASTM Tost Methods Basie Requtements ‘Fie Sule No, ‘Sue Ltr “enste Srengin, Elongaton| Durometr Horne “ype Sut A, Host Raster dec" e210 573,708 Dees, 70m | 66s, 168n ava, 168 | D573, 1000h | D285, 1000 n Ap D 2000 = 062" TABLE 5 Continued i ee sae] 1 2 3 ‘ 5 . 7 e fo ‘ba06, 22h, |0306, 70h, | D305,22n, | 0508, 70m, | 0205, 100, | O3B5, 1000 Maed 8, |Maods,” | Metres,” | Weihos 8,” | Memos 8, "|r, Mehed 8 Pao} le pled ples id led pum, | osm pa - 4 oxne* | woater zone ‘exposure, exposure, ated Nathod bers, |osis, Mabe A | Hatred 8 parti |oariime —foarsig |osritea | 0471, eae sor = Joo2ci.e® — | aosone* | ooror,2 | a2 oi," mn 70h mr wah ‘ean pari, | Dart, Service | Oise Frid | spectay | Ne | dosnt toi" | ntabee, on |70n art, Refer | D471, Rot | 0471, Rote | D471, Rater | 0471, 85 Vol |. ‘ence FuBlA, | ence Fusl8, | onea Feat C, | ence Feel D, | une ercent 70h. on mn mn Felerence Fuel Pius 45 volume Denatured Ethan, 70% ~ |oars.o% |oarteqa |. : tea Wate, | Pans by Tone | Volume Dismed Wotar Reagent Grade Etytone ial, 70 peter, | D1068,smin, [ozts7, |v sa29,381 | 01920, 304 | 0 1088, 5 min, : Matned A | TTs.

These suffix requirements are set forth forthe various grade numbers, ‘Sufix letters and suffix numbers describing these suffix re- ‘quirements may be used singly or in combination, but not all sufi values available for a given material need be specified. [Nore 6—Examples of the se of sufix letters and numbers would be |Al4 and BOS. Sufix A (Table 3) stands for heat resistance, Suix 1 (Table) specifies thet the test be run in accordance with Test Method 1575 for 70h, and Sufix 4 (Table 4 indicates the temperature of test as 100°C. Similarly, Sufix EO34 indicates resistance in TRM 903 Oil in accordance with Test Method D471 for 70 hat 100°C. 8.2 Basic requirements are always in effect, unless super seded by specific suffix requirements in the “line call-out.” 83 Use of Test Methods D 1053 as a Suffix Requirement: When specifying an F2 or F6 requirement, the line specifica- tion must define which T-values are required, along with the ‘maximum allowed temperature. Test Methods D 1053 proper- ties must then be less than or equal to the specified temperature for the corresponding T-valve. 9, Line Call-Outs 9.1 Aline call-out," which is a specification, shall contain: the document's names, the prefix letter M, the grade number, the material designation (type and class), and the hardness and tensile strength, followed by the appropriate suffix require- ments.
