1. SCOPE:

1.1 Form:

This specification and its supplementary detail specifications cover various elastomeric standard compounds in the form of molded test slabs 0.075 × 6 × 6 inches (1.90 × 152 × 152 mm).

1.2 Application:

These slabs are used typically to determine compatibility of the type of elastomer with various lubricating oils, hydraulic fluids, and fuels, but usage is not limited to such applications.

1.3 Classification:

The requirements specified herein and in the applicable detail specification define each standard elastomeric stock on the basis of the elastomeric polymer and compounding ingredients; the elastomeric polymer is shown in the title of each detail specification.

1.4 Safety - Hazardous Materials:

While the materials, methods, applications, and processes described or referenced in this specification may involve the use of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the hazards which may be involved in such use. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and to take necessary precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved.
