1、Designation:D252783(Reapproved 2022)Standard Specification forRubber SealsSplice Strength1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2527;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in
2、 parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers the strength and appearance ofthe splice in vulcanized rubber-seal material of any size,type,or cross-sectional shape.1.2
3、Many types and varieties of seals are used in services ofall degrees of severity.In some instances,hollow tubing isspliced and used as a seal.It is also possible to have seals ofirregular cross sections,or made of polymers which,due totheir nature,or not conducive to a high-strength splice,although
4、they will perform satisfactorily in their intendedapplication.1.3 Seals are exposed in service to a wide variety of mediaat various temperatures.The effect of such media on the splicedarea must be considered.Details of the test procedures toevaluate the effect of the media shall be agreed upon by th
5、epurchaser and seller as part of the purchase contract.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsib
6、ility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization e

8、tomersTension3.Classification3.1 In order to provide for the various types of seals andrequirements,three classes of splices have been established:3.1.1 Class 1 covers splices in seals not having a solid crosssection but an irregular cross section,of a polymer notconducive to a high-strength splice,
9、or for moderate servicerequirements.3.1.2 Class 2 covers splices in solid seals of a shape andcomposition conducive to high-strength splices.This classcovers applications requiring high-splice strength or servicerequirements.3.1.3 Class 3 covers splices in round solid seals of acomposition conducive
10、 to extra-high-strength splices.Thisclass covers applications requiring extra-high-splice tensile andbend strength due to difficult service requirements.Class 3tests of seals in other than round shapes shall be agreed uponby the purchaser and manufacturer using this specification as aguide.3.2 In th
11、e event that an application requires special consid-eration and values,these values can be indicated on the partprint,using this specification as a guide.4.Workmanship4.1 Upon visual inspection,the splice shall not show anysigns of separation.5.Physical Requirements5.1 When tested in accordance with
12、 the procedure outlinedin Section 7,the splice shall meet the following requirements:Class 1Class 2Class 3AUltimate elongation for the sealarea,%2050100AIn qualitative nondestructive test,Class 3 seals shall also meet the requirementsin 7.2.3 and 7.2.4.6.Significance and Use6.1 These tests are used
