ASTM D6370-99(2003)
Historical Standard: ASTM D6370-99(2003) Standard Test Method for Rubber-Compositional Analysis by Thermogravimetry (TGA)
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D6370
1. Scope
1.1 This test method provides a thermogravimetric (TGA) technique to determine the amounts of organics (oil, polymer), carbon black and ash (filler) in a rubber compound.
1.2 The amount of plasticizer/oil may be determined separately using Test Method D 297.
1.3 This test method utilizes previously calibrated, manual or computer assisted TGA instrumentation.
1.4 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.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
