ISO 5603:1986

Two methods are given which are applicable primarily to test pieces prepared in the laboratory under standard conditions, such as may be used for the development and control of materials and processes used in the manufacture of products reinforced with wire cord. Test pieces of cord and rubber are prepared together by vulcanizing them under pressure. In method 1 the exterior surface of the rubber is suitably reinforced. In method 2 such reinforcement is not employed.
