Direct measurement and calculation of rubber bulk modulus by piston-cylinder method using conventional mechanical testing equipment

This article describes a method to directly measure the bulk modulus of rubber using a piston-cylinder type apparatus. The function of the testing apparatus is to reliably transfer load to the water inside the vessel and allow for the accurate and continuous measurement of volumetric displacement as...
