1、Designation:D57204(Reapproved 2019)Standard Test Method forRubberDeterioration by Heat and Oxygen1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D572;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A nu
2、mber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers a procedure to determine therela
3、tive deterioration resistance of vulcanized rubber in a hightemperature and high pressure oxygen environment.There maybe no exact correlation between this accelerated test andnatural aging of rubber because of the varied conditions ofnatural aging.This accelerated test is suitable for laboratorycomp
4、ound or product comparisons.NOTE1For evaluating rubber vulcanizates under less severe condi-tions more nearly approaching natural aging,the use of Test MethodsD573 and D865 is recommended.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for info

10、riorating influence at a specified elevated temperature andoxygen pressure for known periods of time,after which theirphysical properties are determined.These are compared withthe properties determined on the original specimens and thechanges noted.3.2 Unless otherwise specified,the determination of
11、 thephysical properties shall be carried out in accordance with TestMethods D412.3.3 Except as may be otherwise specified in this testmethod,the requirements of Practices D3182 and D3183 shallbe complied with and are made part of this test method.3.4 In case of conflict between the provisions of thi
12、s testmethod and those of detailed specifications or test methods fora particular material,the latter shall take precedence.4.Significance and Use4.1 Rubber and rubber products must resist the deteriorationof physical properties with time caused by oxidative andthermal aging.This test method provide
13、s a way to assess theseperformance characteristics of rubber,under certain acceler-ated conditions as specified.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D11 on Rubberand Rubber-like Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D11.15on Degradation Tests.Current edi
