2、ast revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the extrud-ability of unvulcanized SBR and NBR rubber compoundsthrough a screw-
3、type extruder equipped with ASTM ExtrusionDie,Garvey type.This test method is designed to allow theobservation of the appearance and contours of the extrusion.Rating systems are provided along with recipes for compoundsof known extrusion characteristics.The utility of the testmethod for evaluating r
4、ubbers or compounding materials otherthan those listed has not been established.Since extrusionmachines differ among laboratories,the procedure includestechniques that minimize differences between machines.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parent
