The CCSi ASTM D1149 B1 Specimen Cutting Die is engineered to produce straight rubber test specimens required for ASTM D1149 Method B1, which evaluates the dynamic ozone cracking resistance of vulcanized rubber using straight specimens.
Manufactured entirely in-house in Akron, Ohio, each die begins with premium American-made tool steel before undergoing precision grinding, machining, heat treating, wire EDM, sharpening, and final dimensional certification. Wire EDM manufacturing produces perfectly vertical cutting walls, allowing the die to be resharpened multiple times without affecting specimen dimensions for exceptional long-term value.
The B1 die produces 25 × 150 mm (0.98 × 5.91 in.) specimens, the size specified for straight specimen ozone testing. Accurate specimen geometry helps laboratories generate repeatable, standards-compliant test results when evaluating rubber durability in ozone-controlled environments.
CCSi provides the OREC™ Ozone Chamber, which is suitable for performing the Dynamic Ozone Test, as well as molds and cutting dies used in other ozone test procedures.
Every CCSi cutting die includes:
- Laser-engraved model and serial number for traceability
- Protective foam-lined carrying case
- Standard configuration for clicker-style presses
- Precision dimensional certification
Optional accessories include ISO-17025 Certification, Arbor Press Adapter, Mallet Handle, NAEF brackets and ejectors, and custom mounting solutions.
