IS 16848 : Part 1 : Sec 1 : 2024/ISO 6502-1 : 2018 Rubber - Methods of Test - Part 1 Measurement of Vulcanization Characteristics Using Curemeters - Section 1 Introduction
(Superseding IS 16848 : 2018)
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 1/ Sec 1) which is identical with ISO 6502-1 : 2018 'Rubber - Measurement of vulcanization characteristics using curemeters - Part 1: Introduction' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation(s) of the Methods of Test for Rubber and Rubber Products Sectional Committee and approval of the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products Division Council.
This standard was first published in 2018, which was identical with ISO 6502 : 2016 under dual numbering system. In 2018, ISO 6502 was technically revised and published into the following three parts, under the general title 'Rubber - Measurement of vulcanization characteristics using curemeters':
Part 1 Introduction
Part 2 Oscillating disc curemeter
Part 3 Rotorless curemeter
The Committee responsible for the formulation of the standard decided to adopt different parts of ISO 6502 as three different Sections of Part 1 of IS 16848 under dual numbering system. The other sections are,
Part 1/Sec 2 Oscillating disc curemeter
Part 1/Sec 3 Rotorless curemeter
Further, this standard will supersede IS 16848 : 2018 Rubber - Guide to the use of Curemeters. After publication of this standard, IS 16848 : 2018 shall be treated as withdrawn.
The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
