Designation: D 5289 – 95 (Reapproved 2001)Standard Test Method forRubber Property— Vulcanization Using Rotorless CureMeters1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5289; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method specifies a method for the measure-ment of selected vulcanization characteristics of rubber com-pounds using rotorless linear shear, unsealed torsion shear, andsealed torsion shear cure meters. The three types of instrumentsmay not give the same results.NOTE 1—An alternative method for the measurement of vulcanizationcharacteristics is given in Test Method D 2084.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
