ASTM D6204-99 - 10.11.2001
 
1. Scope

1.1 This test method covers the use of a rotorless oscillating shear rheometer for the measurement of the flow properties of raw rubber and unvulcanized rubber compounds. These flow properties are related to facory processing.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.

1.3 This 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.
