quality of the materials and the manufacture and acceptance of
pads for insertion between rails and baseplates or between
rails and sleepers.

The pads covered by this specification and for which the

load/deflection curve is to be checked, are normally intended
for use in conjunction with elastic fastenings
exerting a designed and controlled clamping force on the rail
foot.

This specification must be accompanied, in the

request to tender, by the documents necessary for fulfilling the
order and, in particular, those concerning the application

GROOVED PADS OF NATURAL OR SYNTHETIC RUBBER

ORGANISATION OF THE TESTS

RESULTS TO BE OBTAINED

1 - Hardness

The hardness of three complete pads ready for acceptance

shall be measured, either with a SHORE A durometer or according to ISO
Standard 48.

The hardness shall be measured between the grooves and at

least one centimetre from the sides of the pads in at least five
different places; the pad must be placed flat on another pad
of similar type which is itself resting on
a very
flat table or surface.

The value to be retained is the lowest of those obtained.

No reading must be less than 65° SHORE A or IRH.

If the request to tender so requires the hardness

shall be measured after ageing for 7 days at 40°C. The
change of hardness must not exceed by more than 10° SHORE A the
highest reading obtained from the test on pads ready for acceptance.

2
Load-deflection curve

The measurement shall be made on two complete pads

ready for acceptance at a temperature of 21°C ± 3°C.

However if the request to tender so stipulates, the test

described below shal 1 be duplicated at a temperature
of - 25°C 3°C.

rigid
The pad to be tested shall be placed between two
metal plates 140 x 210 mm, the surfaces of which
absolutely parallel with each other. Pieces of No. 0
paper, which
must be changed for each test, shall be

APPENDIX 1

inserted between the pad to be tested and the plates. The

dimensions of the pad shall be 132 x 200 mm; larger pads shall be cut
down symmetrically to these dimensions.

The measurement of the thickness variation shall be carried out by

means of two transducers accurate to 0.01 mm placed at the centre of the
shorter sides of the pad and that of the loads shall be made to an
accuracy of 3% by means
of
a thermally compensated device.
 In order to achieve a suitable contact between the pad and
its two metal supports, "bedding-in" must first take place. This
shall consist in applying two consecutive loadings to 200 kN before
any readings are taken. The transducers shall then be set at zero for
a load of 10 kN; for increasing load the deformations at 50, 100,
150 and 200 kN shall be noted, the compression remaining static for
one minute under each of these loads before being increased to the
next load. The rate of loading shall be 150 kN/min. The deformations
to be used for the purpose of preparing the load-deflection curve
shall be the average of the readings taken from the two
transducers (1).

The load-deflection curves obtained for each pad subjected to

testing must be situated between the two curve limits defined in Fig.
1.1 (2).

If the request to tender so requires the load-deflection

curve shall be recorded graphically and the results to be
obtained specified.

(1) If, however, the difference between the readings of the two
transducers for the same load exceeds 0.3 mm it shall be assumed that the

normal testing fulfilled (bad

conditions have not been
centering for example), and fresh measurements
must be carried out on the same pad.

(2) Where applicable, the request to tender shall indicate the

load-deflection curve limits to be substituted for those in

Fig. 1.1 for pads of dimensions differing from

those indicated, and for special arrangements or conditions
of
use.

Tensile strength and elongation properties

Two tensile test-pieces of the type shown in

Fig. 1.2 (1), shall be cut from each of the 5 pads reserved for
testing in such a way that a groove coincides exactly with the centre
line of the test-piece. The centre part between the shoulders must have
a uniform width and thickness along its entire length, and each end of
the length Lo= 50 mm must be marked for the purpose of
noting the elongation (2).
 The tensile strength and the elongation at break shall
be measured on one of the two test-pieces taken from the same pad
without ageing. The remaining test-piece shall be subjected to
artificial ageing in an oven with forced ventilation for 4
days at a constant temperature of 100°C 2°C for synthetic
rubber or for 7 days at 70°C + 2°C for natural rubber. The tensile
strength and elongation at break shall be measured after cooling
in a room at ambient temperature for a period of 24 to 48
hours.

These measurements shall be repeated on test-pieces taken

from the other four pads.

The value to be taken into account, both before and

after ageing, shall be the middle one of each series of five
measurements.

In addition, the ratios A, for the tensile strength, and

B, for the elongation at break, shall be calculated as follows
using the values retained:

Tensile strength after ageing

A =
x 100

B=
Tensile strength before ageing

Elongation at break after ageing

Elongation at break before ageing

x 100

(1) The purchasing railway may, however, prescribe other shapes of

tensile test-pieces. The values given in Tables 1.1 and 1.2
below must be modified accordingly.

(2) When the tensile test-pieces cannot be cut directly from

the pads (as in the case of pads with chevron grooves), they
shall be taken from pads with longitudinal grooves moulded
at the same time as the pads with chevron grooves during the
manufacture of the latter. The mould must be suitable for this
purpose and the parts ing must be
intended for test-
produced at the time specified by the receiving inspector
and in his presence using a sufficient quantity of moulds to
provide the number of test-pieces laid down.

Modulus at 100% elongation

The modulus at 100% elongation shall be understood as being

the tensile stress, in N per mm2 of initial section, necessary
gradually to increase the original distance of 50 mm between the marks on
the test-piece to 100 mm.

Two tensile test-pieces shall be cut from each of the 3 pads

reserved for testing (see Fig. 1.2).

One of the test-pieces shall be subjected to measurement

without ageing. The other shall be subjected to measurement
after ageing artificially for 4 days in an oven with a
constant temperature of 100°C + 2°C for synthetic rubber or 7
days at 70°C + 2°C for natural rubber and then cooled in a room
 at ambient temperature for a period of 24 to 48 hours.

The
two lines marking the original length L
(= 50 mm) are drawn apart until they are 100 mm from each
other at a rate of 450 to 550 mm/min (speed of the moveable
head), and the test piece is than allowed to return to normal
at the same rate. The measurement is made after stretching to

The test must be repeated with test-pieces taken from

the two other pads.

and after ageing, shall be the middle one from each series
of 3 measurements.

The pad to be tested (see Fig. 1.3) shall be placed

on a metal (iron or brass) electrode the dimensions of which are
not less than those of the pad.

On the upper surface of the latter shall be placed,

For the test after immersion the pad shall remain for
48 hours in a tank of distilled water at ambient temperature. On
removal from the tank, the pad shall be wiped with a dry cloth
