Effects of High-Temperature, High-Pressure Carbon Dioxide Decompression on Elastomeric Materials

This standard test method presents information on carbon dioxide (CO₂) environment testing at pressures greater than atmospheric pressure and temperatures of 50 °C (122 °F) or greater. It is intended to serve as a tool in the evaluation of elastomeric materials for use in the oil field and other energy-related areas where CO₂ gaseous environments are encountered. The use of a single standard test method allows engineers who evaluate these materials to compare data from separate laboratories that use this method. The precision of this test method and reproducibility within and among laboratories has not been established. The user of this standard is encouraged to establish statistical significance of the data resulting from this test method.
