Study Notes
- Specific gravity is the ratio of density of a substance to a standard.
- Abrasion resistance is the resistance of rubber to scraping or rubbing.
- Tensile strength is the force required to tear apart rubber.
- Tensile modulus is the stress required for producing an elongation percentage in rubber.
- Elongation is the percentage increase in length of a rubber sample with a tensile force.
- Resilience is the ability of rubber to return to its original size and shape after deformation.
- Compression set is the extent to which an elastomer fails to return to its original thickness.
- Tear resistance is the resistance of an elastomer to cuts or nicks when tension is applied.
- Abrasion resistance is the resistance of rubber to abrasion by scraping or rubbing.
- Specific gravity is the ratio of a material's weight to the weight of an equal volume of water.
