ASTM D4482-11Standard Test Method for Rubber Property—Extension Cycling Fatigue
ASTM D4482 is a test method used to determine the fatigue life of rubber compounds undergoing a tensile-strain cycle. During part of the cycle, the strain is relaxed to a zero value. The specimens are tested without intentionally initiated flaws, cuts, or cracks. Failure is indicated by a complete rupture of the test specimen.
Before conducting ASTM D4482, it is important to read the entire specification. Standards can be obtained from appropriate standard authorities.
