1.1 本术语涵盖橡胶行业中使用的技术术语的定义。不包括其他现成来源中普遍理解或充分定义的术语。 1.2 经投票批准后，由该领域公认专家的其他机构制定的术语定义将被插入该术语中，不得更改，并确定定义的来源。本规则的例外情况是，橡胶行业中使用的术语含义不同于术语的一般含义。 1.3 对于本标准中某些术语的时间和温度相关物理特性，需要数学表达式的本术语用户，应参考指南 D5992 以及参考文件中列出的其他标准。 指南中的选定术语 D5992 可以在中找到 附件A1 . 1.4 尽管该术语标准尽可能避免包含行话和古语术语，但出于历史原因保留了一些术语。

1.1 This terminology covers definitions of technical terms used in the rubber industry. Terms that are generally understood or adequately defined in other readily available sources are not included. 1.2 Definitions for terms that have been established by other bodies recognized as expert in the field will, after ballot approval, be inserted in this terminology without change, and the source of the definition will be identified. Exceptions to this rule will be where the meaning of the term as used in the rubber industry is different from the common meaning of the term. 1.3 Users of this terminology who require mathematical expressions for the time and temperature dependent physical properties of some terms found in this standard should refer to Guide D5992 and other standards listed under referenced documents. Selected terms from Guide D5992 may be found in Annex A1 . 1.4 Although this terminology standard avoids the inclusion of jargon and archaic terms as much as possible, some terms have been retained for historical reasons.
