Standard Test Method for Rubber—Determination of Residual Unsaturation in Hydrogenated Nitrile Rubber (HNBR) by Infrared Spectrophotometry
橡胶的标准试验方法——用红外分光光度法测定氢化丁腈橡胶(HNBR)中残余不饱和度
1.1
This test method covers the percentage of residual unsaturation (double bonds in unhydrogenated butadiene) in hydrogenated nitrile rubber and is based on infrared examination of rubber films cast from solution.
1.2
This test method is applicable to all grades of hydrogenated nitrile rubber in the raw state.
1.3
This test method assumes that specimens and infrared spectra are prepared and analyzed by experienced personnel and that the equipment is operated according to the manufacturer's direction for optimum performance. No details for operation of infrared spectrophotometers are included in this test method.
1.4
Since it is customary in infrared spectrophotometry to use wavenumbers (cm
−1
) rather than Hertz (Hz), the unit for frequency in the SI system, the former is employed throughout this test method.
1.5
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.6
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.7
This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
====== Significance And Use ======
4.1
Hydrogenated nitrile rubbers are available at different levels of unsaturation and different acrylonitrile content. Highly saturated grades offer optimum resistance to aging, such as exposure to heat, ozone, and chemicals, and can be effectively cured only with peroxides or high energy radiation.
4.2
Partially unsaturated grades can be cured by sulfur systems in addition to peroxides and high energy radiation.
4.3
This test method provides an infrared technique to determine the unsaturation level of hydrogenated nitrile rubbers in the raw state. It can be used for research and development, quality control, and referee purposes.
