FORD FLTM BP 116-01

Description / Abstract: FORD FLTM BP 116-01, 2001 Edition, September 24, 2001 - PERMANENT TENSILE SET OF CIRCULAR RUBBER COMPONENTS

Scope

This method provides a procedure for determining the percent change in inside diameter or percent tensile set of rubber o-rings, seals, and cross sections of tubes and hoses after experiencing a specific elongation for defined periods of time at various temperatures and exposure media. It is useful for determining environmental effects resulting from exposure to heat, ozone, and fluids where dimensional stability and heat or ozone crack resistance are investigated.
