This standard contains material requirements and tests for elastomer materials used for components and technical molded parts in motor vehicles (does not apply to vehicle tires). 2 2.1 Requirements General requirements

Approval of first supply and changes acc. to Volkswagen standard VW 01155. Avoidance of hazardous substances according to VW 91101. Free from DOTG (di-o-tolylguanidine) and free from its cleavage product o-toluidine. Elastomer qualities are tested on components, component sections or, in exceptional cases, on test plates (see Section 3.1). On principle, samples must be delivered with an indication of the manufacturers quality designation.
Verify that you have the latest issue of the Standard before relying on it. This electronically generated Standard is authentic and valid without signature. The English translation is believed to be accurate. In case of discrepancies, the German version is alone authoritative and controlling. Numerical notation acc. to ISO convention.

The number of parts required for laboratory evaluation must be agreed upon with the responsible material laboratory. Deviations from this standard must be specified in drawings and test reports. Parts whose grades cannot be classified on the basis of this standard require a separate Technical Supply Specification. 2.2 Evaluation of measurement results

The required numerical values apply to each individual measurement. 2.3 Specifications in technical documentation

Notes on testing

When aging in fuels, oils, and/or greases, the volume must be equal to (80 5) times the volume of the test specimen. Test vessels (and also specimen holders when aging in fluids) in acc. with PV 3323 must be used. The tolerances specified in VDA 674 002 apply to the specified aging times. Unless otherwise specified, measurements must be carried out 30 minutes after removal of the specimen from the test medium. The specimens must be cleaned immediately after removal with a lint-free cloth. Test conditions deviating from this standard must be specified in drawings and test reports. 3.1 Specimens

Tests are performed on S3A dumb-bell specimens acc. to DIN 53505. These specimens must be taken from the finished parts. For certain finished part dimensions (e.g. radial shaft seal), S3 standard test specimens may be used as an alternative. In exceptional cases, if standard test specimens cannot be extracted from the finished parts by means of, for example, a bandknife splitting machine, test plates (thickness 2 mm) may be used. 3.2 Preferred hardness

In those cases where a hardness other than the preferred hardness must be used, the selected hardness must be specified following the grade designation, e.g. E60. The tolerance in such cases is always 5 Shore A. 3.3 Aging at elevated temperature

Aging for 94 h in a forced air oven acc. to DIN 53508. In justified cases, other aging times may be agreed upon. Measurements are carried out after cooling to room temperature, (23 2) C. 3.4 Aging in contact medium

The conditions specified in Section 3.4.1 to Section 3.4.5 apply to aging in contact media. 3.4.1 Gasoline

The following test fluids are used: Test fluid according to DIN 51604-2 (FAM B) Composition: 84,5 volume % FAM test fluid acc. to DIN 51604-1 (FAM A) 15,0 volume % methanol 0,5 volume % water E 85 fuel Composition: 84 volume % highest grade ethanol acc. to DAB 7 16 volume % FAM test fluid acc. to DIN 51604-1 (FAM A)

Other test fluids may be used if required (deviations acc. to drawing).

Page 14 VW 2.8.1: 2011-02

Aging for 168 h (other aging times, e.g., 48 h, acc. to drawing specification) at room temperature (23 2) C. The specimens are dabbed off with filter paper (e.g., black band) after aging. The evaluations are carried out 1 minute afterwards. In justified cases, which must be agreed upon, evaluation may also begin 15 minutes after removal. 3.4.2 Diesel fuel, fatty acid methyl ester (FAME)

The following test composition must be used for aging of the specimens in diesel fuel: 93 volume % standard diesel Liquid F (formerly A20 NPII, made by Haltermann) acc. to DIN ISO 1817; 7 volume % fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) according to DIN EN 14214. For aging in biodiesel, fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) acc. to DIN EN 14214 must be used. Aging time: Aging for 48 h at room temperature (23 2) C. After aging is complete, the specimens must be cleaned with a lint-free cloth. Evaluation must begin 1 minute after removal of the specimen from the medium. In justified cases, other aging times and test temperatures can be agreed upon. 3.4.3 Oil

Aging time: 48 h and 96 h. For quality grade U, aging in oil is performed for 24 h at (23 2) C. For aging in engine oil, Reference Engine Oil OS 206 304 acc. to TL 52185 must be used as the test fluid. Other test oils may be used upon agreement. 3.4.4 Grease

Aging time: 48 h. 3.4.5 Coolant additive

S3A dumb-bell specimens acc. to DIN 53504 are aged in test fluid consisting of 50 parts deionized water and 50 parts coolant additive by volume acc. to the valid version of TL 774 at +135 C in an autoclave. The fluid volume must be 150 to 180 times the specimen volume. Subsequently, the specimens are cooled down to (23 2) C in the test fluid within 2 hours and are measured. Aging time: 94 h. In justified cases, other aging times may also be agreed upon. 3.5 Drying

The specimens are pre-dried (2 to 4) h at room temperature and are then dried for 22 h at +85 C in a natural convection oven acc. to DIN 53508. The specimens must be aged such that there is com plete circulation of air around them. 3.6 Tensile strength

The tensile strength of the aged dumb-bell specimen must be based on its cross-section prior to aging. For tests performed on o-rings, the ring thickness is determined using a reference ring taken from the sample batch (cf. PV 3973).

Page 15 VW 2.8.1: 2011-02

3.7

Elongation at tear

Elongation at tear of the aged dumb-bell specimen must be based on its condition after aging. De viating therefrom, the inner diameter of o-rings is determined when determining the elongation at tear following aging in media (cf. PV 3973). 3.8 Low-temperature resistance

Test specimens must still be elastic after 24 h of low-temperature aging. There must be no break or formation of cracks during the bending test. The specimens' dimensions must be approx. (100 2) mm; deviating specimens must be agreed upon. Gloves and/or vice-grip pliers must be used during the test. Where the shape of the specimen does not permit bending by hand, hardness of the specimens must be less than 90 Shore A (measured after aging in a cold chamber). Deviations must be indicated in the drawing. The hardness is determined by means of a test device conditioned at low temperature. 3.9 Ozone resistance

The test is conducted for 46 h in the ozone climate chamber with a 2 ppm (- 15%) ozone concentration, at (25 + 3) C and (60 5)% relative humidity. For this purpose, the parts must be mounted as installed in the vehicle or in a similar manner. Specific load conditions have been specified for certain parts, e.g., profiles are aged on a mandrel with a 30 mm radius; profiles with a thickness 5 mm are elongated by 20% to 25% in a clamping device (see PV 3305), and/or are tested on a mandrel with a radius five times the thickness of the specimen. The specimen parts are exposed to the ozone atmosphere 15 min after mounting. Determination of ozone concentration acc. to DIN 53509-2. Evaluation of cracking acc. to PV 3316. 3.10 Lightfastness

Parts used in the vehicle interior must be tested as specified in PV 1303 (the number of periods must be agreed upon); parts used on the vehicle exterior must be tested according to PV 3929 and PV 3930 (test cycle: one year each). 3.11 Weather resistance

Open-air weathering for 1 year in damp heat acc. to PV 3930 (Florida) and in dry heat acc. to PV 3929 (Kalahari, Arizona). 3.12 Paint indifference

Testing is carried out after aging at elevated temperature (24 h at +70 C) and after rain simulation (24 h acc. to PV 3930). 3.13 Greasing

Parts must exhibit a clearly discernible wax film in as-received condition. After this wax film is removed by cleaning (by moving the specimen for 5 seconds in FAM test fluid acc. to DIN 51604-1 = FAM 2 at room temperature with tweezers), the specimens are aged for 94 h at +70 C in a forced air oven acc. to DIN 53508. After the aging period, a new, clearly discernible wax film must have formed on the surface of the specimens (produced by exudation).

Abrasion behavior

The abrasion behavior must be tested under 10 N load. Deviations must be indicated in the drawing. 4 Other applicable documents
