Physical Properties Of Rubber Tires

Different carbon black structures were used and characterised with respect to their rheological and physical properties it was found that the nr compound containing high structure black i e.

Physical properties of rubber tires.

Vulcanised rubber is extensively used in many industrial sectors due to its good physical mechanical and dynamic properties as well as excellent durability outstanding abrasive resistance and relatively low cost. The purpose of this study was to determine the physical and chemical properties of tire shreds for use in engineering construction as a replacement for aggregates in embankments or as backfill. Written by dale t. Rubber tires come in many styles for instance all season radials and snow tires and they come in varying quality and sizes.

The rubber materials selected by designers and technical buyers should meet all their application requirements. Physical properties of rubber. During the 20th century the tire became synonymous with industrialized societies. For instance racing tires must stand up.

Although rubber represents a leading component tires also contain a variety of chemicals. Most rubber tires however regardless of size or style share certain features. Manufacturing companies will vary the chemical properties within a tire depending on its intended use. As the tire shred size increased the hydraulic conductivity increased from 0 2 to 0 85 cm s.

This study aims to investigate the effect of carbon black structures on the mechanical properties of industrial tyre rubber compounds containing natural rubber nr and styrene butadiene rubber sbr. The inherent physical characteristics of elastomers can be modified through compounding. However the knowledge of rubber s physical properties and their measurement is critical for compound selection. Rubber tires are an essential part of a vehicle the contact point between a car or truck and the road surface.

In this article we will describe the physical properties of rubber that you will see on a physical property data sheets for elastomers that are tested to astm d2000 specifications. I have described what the property is why it is important and how you test it.
