BS 903-A27 specifies a method for the determination of rubber-to-fabric adhesion under direct tension. It is only suitable when the material to be tested is substantially uniform in thickness and flat or sufficiently flexible to be maintained flat under light pressure.
BS 903-A27 is particularly suitable for materials having a very thin rubber layer which are difficult to test by stripping or peeling methods. However, it should be noted that the results obtained by this method will not necessarily correlate with those obtained by a stripping test such as that described in ISO/R 36, Determination of the adhesion strength of vulcanized rubbers to textile fabrics.
BS 903-A27 on Methods of testing vulcanized rubber is useful for:
Bonding of metal cylinders, by means of a suitable adhesive, onto opposing faces of a test piece. Measurement of the tensile force necessary to cause separation of the rubber from the fabric, this tensile force being applied along the axis of the metal cylinders.
BS 903-A27 provides methods and procedures for determining the rubber to fabric adhesion using direct tension method. The test method outlined in BS 903-A27 helps in increasing the life of vulcanized rubber at different climatic conditions.
BS 903-A27 provides you with apparatus, sampling, transport, storage, and preparation of test joints, pre-treatment of test pieces, test procedure, and much more.
Using BS 903-A27 you can get help in determining the durability and strength and can manufacture superior quality vulcanized rubber.
