Current edition approved Nov. 1, 2016. Published November 2016. Originally approved in 1954. Last previous edition approved in 2008 as D1329 – 08. — 5 p.
This test method describes a temperature-retraction procedure for rapid evaluation of crystallization effects and for comparing viscoelastic properties of rubber and rubber-like materials at low temperatures. This test method is useful when employed in conjunction with other low-temperature tests for selection of materials suitable for low-temperature service.
