Section 9 of the ASTM standards focuses on rubber materials and products. This section is divided into two main volumes:
- Volume 09.01: This volume includes general test methods for rubber, covering topics such as the testing of natural and synthetic rubbers, and methods for evaluating the properties of carbon black. It is foundational for understanding the performance and characteristics of rubber materials in various applications.
- Volume 09.02: This volume deals with industrial rubber products and includes specifications and test methods for products like gaskets and tires. It covers a more application-specific aspect of rubber materials, ensuring that products meet industrial standards for durability and performance.
For detailed and current information, you can explore these volumes in full through resources like ASTM’s website
