IS 16848 : Part 1 : Sec 2 : 2024/ISO 6502-2 : 2018 Rubber - Methods of Test - Part 1 Measurement of Vulcanization Characteristics Using Curemeters - Section 2 Oscillating Disc Curemeter
(Superseding IS 11720 (Part 2) : 2013/ISO 3417 : 2008)
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 1/Sec 2) which is identical to ISO 6502-2 : 2018 'Rubber - Measurement of vulcanization characteristics using curemeters - Part 2: Oscillating disc curemeter' 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 to ISO 6502 : 2016. 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 1 Introduction
Part 1/Sec 3 Rotorless curemeter
While reviewing various test methods published by this Committee, it was further observed that IS 11720 (Part 2) : 2013 Methods of test for synthetic rubber : Part 2 Measurement of vulcanization characteristics with the oscillating disc curemeter is also available on the subject.
The Committee decided that this standard will supersede IS 11720 (Part 2) : 2013 Methods of test for synthetic rubber: Part 2 Measurement of vulcanization characteristics with the oscillating disc curemeter. After publication of this standard, IS 11720 (Part 2) : 2013 shall be treated as withdrawn.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.
