This standard specifies three methods for measuring the stress change of a specimen under a given elongation state, with the purpose of determining the aging properties of rubber vulcanizates. Method A is for measurements under continuous strain conditions. Method B is the preferred method for measurements under intermittent strain conditions. In both cases A and B, the stress at the aging temperature is recorded using a stress relaxometer. Method C can be used instead of Method B for measurements under intermittent strain conditions. In method C, the specimen is removed from the aging environment and the stress is measured at standard laboratory temperature. Measurements at a single aging high temperature can be used for quality control purposes, such as the degree of heat aging resistance. According to the method described in GB/T 20028, measurements are made at a range of temperatures to predict long-term aging performance, which can be used for research and development purposes. There is no interpolation between the three methods, and the method used depends on the purpose of the experiment.
