1.1These test methods cover the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the composition of rubber products of the “R” family (see 3.1). Many of these test methods may be applied to the analysis of natural and synthetic crude rubbers.

1.1.1Part Aconsists of general test methods for use in the determination of some or all of the major constituents of a rubber product.

1.1.2Part Bcovers the determination of specific polymers present in a rubber product.

1.1.3The test methods appear in the following order:

Part A. General Test Methods:

Sections

Rubber Polymer Content by the Indirect Method	11-13
Determinations and Report for the General Method	14 and 15
Density	16
Extract Analysis	17-26
Sulfur Analysis	27-33
Fillers Analysis	34-40
Ash Analysis	41-51
Part B. Determination of Rubber Polymers	52-58

1.2The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.3This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific precautionary or warning statements are given in 31.4.5, 31.6, 37.4.2, 38.4.2, 45.1.3, 53.2.3.5, 54.4.2, 54.6, 56.5.3, and 57.7.3; and X1.3.3 and X2.4.1.6.
