ASTM D471
Rubber Property — Effect of Liquids


ASTM D471 establishes test procedures to evaluate how elastomers and rubber materials resist immersion in various liquids, measuring changes in volume, hardness, and mechanical strength. The standard applies to elastomeric components exposed to mineral oils, solvents, and other chemical fluids in industrial and automotive applications. Samples are immersed in specified test liquids at controlled temperatures for defined periods, allowing engineers to assess chemical compatibility and predict long-term durability. This method is critical for ensuring elastomeric components maintain acceptable performance when in contact with operating fluids.
