What is the shear modulus of viton material?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on determining the shear modulus of Viton material for developing a bladder for a pulsation dampener. J. Mohanraj seeks assistance in calculating the shear modulus to establish the spring rate and thickness of the bladder. While DuPont provides various data sheets for Viton formulations, they primarily include tensile strength rather than shear modulus. Participants suggest contacting DuPont directly for specific data or formulas to calculate the shear modulus.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of rubber material properties
  • Familiarity with Viton formulations
  • Basic knowledge of elasticity and spring rate calculations
  • Experience with material data sheets and engineering specifications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the shear modulus calculation formulas for rubber materials
  • Explore DuPont's data sheets for specific Viton formulations
  • Investigate alternative rubber materials with known shear modulus values
  • Learn about the relationship between tensile strength and shear modulus in elastomers
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, material scientists, and product developers involved in rubber component design, particularly those working with Viton materials for applications like pulsation dampeners.

i am new to rubber components , now i am developing a bladder for pulsation dampener, so for that i need to check the spring rate or elasticity of viton material and to determine the thickness for the bladder, I am struggling a lot to find the shear modulus of rubber, if have this valve i have basic formula to find out the thickness and deflection. So i request all the experts present in this group to help me out to get this shear modulus value of viton.

Thanking you in advance.

with regards,

J.Mohanraj

DuPont has 20+ data sheets on their website for the various Viton formulations, have you checked those?
Otherwise, you could try calling DuPont.

Thanks for your reply Mr. Billy , i tried that website , but they have given tensile strength but not the shear modulus. Is there any formula to calculate that shear modulus?
