Low Temperature behaviour / Low Temperature flexibility
The low temperature behaviour of elastomeres could be measured by a lot of different test methods which are not comparable. Therefore it is important, to know these methods. However it could be even more confusing, if just a low termperature limit is given without any relation to a test method. We recommend to apply either the TR10-method or compression set at low temperatures or DSC-method. Further information on this topic is provided in our seminars ‘O-ring seals – design, application and application limits’, ‘Testing elastomer seals’ and ‘Elastomer materials and seals’.
