BS ISO 7743:2017

This standard BS ISO 7743:2017 Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic. Determination of compression stress-strain properties is classified in these ICS categories:

• 83.060 Rubber

This document specifies methods for the determination of the compression stress-strain properties of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber using a standard test piece, a product or a part of a product.

Four procedures are given:

• using standard test piece A with the metal plates lubricated (method A);

• using standard test piece A with the metal plates bonded to the test piece (method B);

• using standard test piece B (method C);

• using a product or a part of a product with the metal plates lubricated (method D).

The methods are not suitable for materials that exhibit high set.
