ISO 815-2 is the test method for the compression set of vulcanized and thermoplastic rubber at low temperatures. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ISO 815-2 Covers
It measures the permanent deformation remaining after a rubber specimen is held compressed at low temperature, characterizing cold-temperature sealing recovery.
How the Test Is Run
A specimen is compressed in a jig, held at the low test temperature for a defined time, released, and the residual set is measured, indicating cold recovery behaviour.
Why It Matters
Low-temperature compression set predicts seal performance in cold service; a controlled low-temperature environment and compression fixtures are needed.
