ASTM D1414 Tension Test and Standard Test for Tension Set of Rubber O-Rings

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D1414 standard. ASTM D1414 describes various procedures and tests to determine the physical and mechanical properties of o-rings; both when they are new and due to aging.

O-rings are typically used as gaskets. They are usually mounted with some tension around a shaft or in an o-ring groove to facilitate fabrication by preventing bulging or clumping during assembly. Therefore, it is important to understand the tensile properties of the o-ring product as well as the elastomeric material of the o-ring.

ASTM D1414 requires tensile tests of o-rings as rings. The O-ring sample will be wrapped around two cylinders sized to match the O-ring diameter.

ASTM D1414 also defines a tension set test and a compression set test. These are stress relaxation tests. These tests can be performed on manual clamp fixtures.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. Values ​​in parentheses are for informational purposes only.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
