What is the shear modulus of viton material?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenges of determining the shear modulus of Viton material for developing a bladder for a pulsation dampener. The user is seeking assistance in finding this value to calculate the thickness and deflection using a basic formula. While DuPont offers various data sheets on Viton formulations, they primarily provide tensile strength rather than shear modulus. The user is looking for alternative methods or formulas to calculate the shear modulus. Expert input is requested to aid in this technical challenge.

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,

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?
