    Barbed press fits, allowable stress vs required

    I've been trying to calculate material stresses and retention forces of a metal barbed fitting pressed into a plastic body. I need the barb size and engagement strong enough to hold an internal air pressure but not have such a large overlap that pressing the fittings compromises the material...

    ASTM D1415 vs. D2240 Type M micro-hardness testing

    First off, thank you for your input! Secondly, Since method D2240 shows both samples to be 70 durometer could the varying results using method D1415 be caused by a difference in compression set, since the method is dependent on time? Note: Material 1 and Material 2 should be the same.

    ASTM D1415 vs. D2240 Type M micro-hardness testing

    Thanks for pointing those out Tom, I found those specs under the "Apparatus" section of the ASTM book. Something I should have included before: The test results using D2240 Type M were found to be a 70 Durometer however the D1415 Type M test results yielded between 50 and 60 Durometer. In this...

    ASTM D1415 vs. D2240 Type M micro-hardness testing

    Hi all, I am looking to better understand the differences between ASTM D1415 and ASTM D2240 for type M micro-hardness testing. I have had some O-rings tested at two different labs. One lab used D2240 and the other used both D1415 & D2240. The D2240 results from both labs matched however the...
