This technical data sheet provides information on decoding rubber material specifications using ASTM D2000. ASTM D2000 is a standard classification system that defines rubber materials using a line callout code. Each letter and number in the code provides information about the material's physical properties, tests required, and test descriptions. Tables in the document help interpret the codes for properties like heat resistance, oil resistance, suitable elastomers, and suffix meanings.

Decoding ASTM D2000

Decoding ASTM D2000 (SAE J200)


The most common specification used for defining rubber materials is ASTM D2000 “Standard Classification System
for Rubber Products in Automotive Applications”. Although the standard refers to automotive applications, it is used
across all industries for specifying elastomer requirements including natural and synthetic rubber compounds.

This classification provides a universal way to designate a commercially available rubber material, according to its
physical properties and the extent of additional test requirements and the description of these tests by the use of alpha
numeric “line callouts”.

An example might be:

ASTM D2000 M2 BC 5 17 A14 EO34


↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑
a b c d e f g h1 h2

A “line call-out” contains [values in parentheses demonstrates specification above]:

a) the specification name;

b) the prefix letter M if the classification system is based on SI units. If there is no prefix, the “inch-pound” unit
system is to be used;

c) the grade number, which is either ‘1’ if the basic requirements apply or grades higher than ‘1’ if there is a
deviation or additional requirements;

d) the material designation based on Type (heat resistance);

e) the material designation based on Class (oil resistance);

f) the hardness in shore A divided by 10;

g) minimum tensile strength in MPa (or psi divided by 100 for inch-pound system);

h) additional suffix requirements indicating additional requirements.

For the example above:

M = specification is in SI units.

2 = Grade 2.

B = Material with temperature resistance to 100°C.

C = Material with no greater than 120% volume swell when exposed to IRM 903 oil for 70 hours.

5 = 50 shore A hardness (typically ±5 shore A).

17 = 17 MPa minimum tensile strength

A14 = ‘A’ denotes “heat resistance”; ‘1’ indicates “test method D 573” which shall be applied for 70 hours;
‘4’ indicates a test temperature of 100°C. Additionally, for grade 2, the change in durometer hardness shall
be no greater than +15 points, the change in tensile strength shall be no greater than −15% and the change in
ultimate elongation shall be no greater than −40%.

EO34 = ‘EO’ denotes “fluid resistance in oils and lubricants”; ‘3’ indicates that “test method D 471”, which
uses IRM 903 Oil for 70 hours; ‘4’ indicates a test temperature of 100°C. Additionally, for grade 2, the
change in volume shall be no greater than 5% and no less than 3%.

The tables below will help you to decode the Type (heat resistance) and Class (oil resistance).

Table 1: Heat Resistance Table 2: Oil Resistance


Type Test Temperature Class Volume Swell, max %
A 70°C (158°F) A No requirement
B 100°C (212°F) B 140
C 125°C (257°F) C 120
D 150°C (302°F) D 100
E 175°C (347°F) E 80
F 200°C (392°F) F 60
G 225°C (437°F) G 40
H 250°C (482°F) H 30
J 275°C (527°F) J 20
K 300°C (572°F) K 10

The following tables will help identify a particular rubber compound appropriate for the specific Type and Class and
identify the suffix letters.
