DIN ISO 815-2 — Compression Set at Low Temperatures (Rubber)

← Back to all standards

DIN ISO 815-2 is the German adoption of ISO 815-2, the low-temperature compression set method for vulcanized and thermoplastic rubber. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What DIN ISO 815-2 Covers

It measures the permanent deformation remaining after compression of a rubber specimen at low temperature, matching the ISO method under the German designation.

How the Test Is Run

A specimen is compressed in a jig, held at the low test temperature, released, and the residual set is measured, indicating cold recovery.

Why It Matters

Low-temperature compression set predicts cold sealing performance; the DIN ISO designation is what German quality systems cite.

Reading the Designation

Cited as DIN ISO 815-2 with its edition year. Confirm the edition and specimen requirements before finalizing setup. To configure a rubber testing setup, request a quote.
