ISO 12493:2017

Rubber, vulcanized — Determination of stress in tension upon heating

ISO 12493:2017 specifies a method for measuring the stress in tension which is developed in vulcanized rubber when it is heated (thermal stress). The thermal stress is measured for various pre-strain and temperature conditions as a function of time.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 45, Rubber and rubber products,
Subcommittee SC 2, Testing and analysis.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 12493:2011), of which it constitutes a
minor revision to update the normative references in Clause 2.

Introduction
Vulcanized rubber held under a constant stress will contract as the test temperature is raised, while
a test piece held under a constant strain will develop an increased stress. These are features of the
Gough-Joule effect in rubber and, unless they are taken into account at the design stage, any resulting
changes in forces and dimensions can affect the performance of some products, such as rotary seals,
used at high temperatures and high strains (see Reference [1]).
This document describes a test method for the determination of the change in tensile stress that results
from an increase in test temperature.
