Abstract / scope
Specifies a method intended for use in estimating the resistance of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubbers to cracking when exposed, under dynamic tensile strain, to air containing a definite concentration of ozone and at a definite temperature in circumstances that exclude the effects of direct light. Great caution is necessary in attempting to relate standard test results to service performance since the relative ozone resistance of different rubbers can vary markedly depending on the conditions, especially ozone concentration and temperature.
