Abstract
The properties of rubber depend, often to a considerable extent, on its history before test and the atmospheric conditions under which the test was carried out. That is, the results are affected by the age of the rubber, the conditions such as temperature and humidity under which it was stored, any mechanical deformation before test and temperature and humidity at the time of the test. Hence, to produce consistent results it is essential that these factors are controlled within suitable limits.
