Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document, ASTM D 6576-07, is a standard specification for chemically blown flexible cellular rubber. It establishes requirements for this material, which is used by both government and industry. It serves as a replacement for MIL-R-6130C.

• Scope: Defines requirements for chemically blown cellular rubber, including types (open cell/sponge and closed cell/expanded) and grades (A, B, C) based on resistance to oil, flame, and low temperatures.
• Classification: Details types, grades, and conditions (firmness levels) of cellular rubber.
• Materials and Manufacture: Specifies material homogeneity, acceptable production allowances (tears, cracks, splices), and prohibited materials (cemented, bonded, etc.). It also covers the form (sheets, rolls, molded shapes) and surfacing requirements.
• Physical Properties: Outlines requirements for compression deflection, low-temperature resistance, accelerated aging, recovery, flame resistance, shrinkage, water absorption, oil aging, and color, referencing various ASTM and SAE test methods.
• Tolerances: Provides dimensional tolerances for sheets, rolls, and molded shapes.
• Test Methods: Details the procedures and conditions for various tests, often referencing other ASTM standards.
• Mandatory Government Requirements: Includes sections on marking, age controls, quality assurance provisions (inspection, sampling), packaging, and packing, referencing military standards.
• Intended Use: Describes the applications for Type I (open cell) and Type II (closed cell) rubber, and the specific uses for Grades A, B, and C.

This specification is crucial for bidders offering chemically blown cellular rubber. It defines the exact material properties, dimensions, testing procedures, and government-specific requirements that must be met. Understanding these details is essential for accurate product specification, proposal development, and ensuring compliance with government contracts.
