DIN 53547 Testing of Rubber and Elastomers - Determination of Creep of Elastomers Under Compressive Tension

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of DIN 53547 testing. DIN 53547 is a standard established by the German Standards Institute (DIN) for testing rubber and elastomer materials. This standard is used to determine the creep properties of elastomer materials under compressive stress.

This test evaluates the deformation behavior of the material under long-term load. In particular, it is used to understand whether the elastomer material will undergo continuous deformation under a certain pressure and what kind of creep behavior the material exhibits in this case.

Creep testing of rubber and elastomers under pressure according to DIN 53547 usually includes the following steps:

• Sample Preparation: Elastomer material is prepared as samples with certain geometric properties.
• Setting Up the Test Device: The elastomer sample is placed in a test device where it is subjected to a certain pressure.
• Creep Test Under Pressure: The sample is subjected to a certain pressure and deformed for a certain period of time (usually a period of hours or days).
• Measurement of Deformation: At regular intervals or at the end of the test, the creep behavior is evaluated by measuring the amount of deformation of the sample.

This testing is important to understand how the elastomer material will behave under long-term use conditions and to determine its reliable usability during the design process. DIN 53547 standard is a standard used as a reference in industrial applications and determination of material properties.
