    Specific Gravity in Rubber Compounding

    Uploaded by

    Bharat Chatrath
    The document discusses testing the specific gravity of rubber compounds to ensure uniformity and quality. Specific gravity testing uses a direct reading balance and should yield a value between 1.1-1.25 for good quality natural rubber compounds, with higher values indicating more additives and lower quality. Specific gravity is an important parameter that confirms the correct ingredients and amounts are used according to specifications.

    Mechanical Testing of Rubber Compound

    Specific Gravity – Part 1.5

    Scope:
    The purpose of the density test is to reaffirm that the correct ingredients are used in the right amount in
    accordance with the specifications provided for the particular Master batch and compound

    Testing Machinery and Standards:

    Specific gravity, a good guide for assessing the uniformity of mixed rubber compounds, is
    determined using the direct reading specific gravity balance.

    Advantages of testing specific gravity:


     Is used to broadly determine the quality of the compound.
     To check the uniformity of mixed rubber compounds

    Test Implications:
     A normal good quality compound made from natural rubber usually has a specific gravity in the range
    of 1.1 to 1.25. A higher specific gravity than this means a higher percentage of additives, and thus
    lower quality.
