AS6944/1 Dynamic Test Procedure for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) Composition Seals

This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) provides a standardized test procedure that can be used to evaluate material capability in a dynamic sealing application. This procedure will be utilized by applicable elastomer material specifications which are used for production of O-rings and other seals.

This specification is applicable to the dynamic testing requirements for aerospace elastomer parts utilizing materials conforming to AMS7XXX series specifications, user specifications, or print on a Purchase Order (PO) that calls out this document for aerospace applications.

This procedure is intended for testing NBR. Other elastomers may have different requirements which will require a separate procedure.
