The following grid lists the types of
testing offered by independent testing
laboratories. Tests for physical testing of
rubber include stress/strain
test; time-dependent test; destructive tests;
durability; electrical properties; and
processing. Tests for chemical analysis
of raw materials and rubber are broken down into
spectrophotometry, spectrometry and
spectroscopy; chromotography; thermal
analysis; and microscopy. Each of
these subdivisions is further broken
down into the specific type of tests.
