Foreword
This Standard is drafted according to the rules provided in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This Standard replaces GB/T 3512-2001 Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic -
Accelerated ageing and heat resistance tests - Air-oven method; compared with GB/T
3512-2001, the main technical changes are as follows.
— Add test method of rubber tensile performance ISO 37 and test method of rubber
hardness ISO 48 (as shown in 3.1 of this edition);
— Add test method of multicell ageing oven, cabinet type ageing oven and forced
ventilation ageing oven and its wind speed (as shown in 4.1.2, 4.1.3, 4.1.4 of this
edition);
— Add provision for equipment verification (as shown in chapter 5 of this edition);
— Use ISO 23529 to replace GB/T 2941 (as shown in chapter 8 of 2001 edition);
— Add results of precision test (as shown in chapter 11 of this edition; chapter 10 of
2001 edition).
Using translation method, this Standard equivalently adopts ISO 188.2011 Vulcanized
rubber or thermoplastic elastomer hot air - Accelerated aging heat resistance test. The
Chinese documents, in this Standard, which have corresponding relationship with the
normative international documents are as follows.
— GB/T 528-2009 Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic - Determination of tensile
stress-strain properties (ISO 37.2005, IDT);
— GB/T 2941-2006 Rubber - General procedures for preparing and conditioning test
pieces for physical test methods (ISO 23529.2004, IDT);
— GB/T 6031-1998 Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic - Determination of hardness
(hardness between 10 IRHD and 100 IRHD) (idt ISO 48.1994).
This Standard was proposed by China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association.

Introduction
Accelerated ageing and heat resistance tests are designed to estimate the relative
resistance of rubber to deterioration with the passage of time. For this purpose, the rubber
is subjected to controlled deteriorating influences for definite periods, after which
appropriate properties are measured and compared with the corresponding properties of
the unaged rubber.
In accelerated ageing, the rubber is subjected to a test environment intended to produce
the effect of natural ageing in a shorter time.
In the case of heat resistance tests, the rubber is subjected to prolonged periods at the
same temperature as that which it will experience in service.
Two types of method are given in this Standard, namely an air-oven method using a low
air speed and an air-oven method using forced air ventilation for a high air speed.
The selection of the time, temperature and atmosphere to which the test pieces are
exposed and the type of oven to use will depend on the purpose of the test and the type of
polymer.
In air-oven methods, deterioration is accelerated by raising the temperature. The degree
of acceleration thus produced varies from one rubber to another and from one property to
another.
Degradation can also be accelerated by air speed. Consequently, ageing with different
ovens can give different results.
Consequences of these effects are.
a) Accelerated ageing does not truly reproduce under all circumstances the changes
produced by natural ageing.
b) Accelerated ageing sometimes fails to indicate accurately the relative natural or
service life of different rubbers; thus, ageing at temperatures greatly above ambient
or service temperatures may tend to equalize the apparent lives of rubbers, which
deteriorate at different rates in storage or service. Ageing at one or more
intermediate temperatures is useful in assessing the reliability of accelerated ageing
at high temperatures.
c) Accelerated ageing tests involving different properties may not give agreement in
assessing the relative lives of different rubbers and may even arrange them in
different orders of merit. Therefore, deterioration should be measured by the
changes in property or properties which are of practical importance, provided that
they can be measured reasonably accurately.
Air-oven ageing should not be used to simulate natural ageing which occurs in the

WARNING — Persons using this Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory
practice. This Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if
any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish
appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national
regulatory conditions.
1 Scope
This Standard specifies accelerated ageing or heat resistance tests on vulcanized or
thermoplastic rubbers. Two methods are given.
Method A. air-oven method using a cell-type oven or cabinet oven with low air speed
and a ventilation of 3 to 10 changes per hour;
Method B. air-oven method using a cabinet oven with forced air circulation by means
of a fan and a ventilation of 3 to 10 changes per hour.
