The object of this test method is the determination of the compressibility of a weatherstrip or other sealing or damping material of cellular elastomer at a defined deflection. The weatherstrip shall be mounted in the appropriate fixture, other sealing or damping material shall be positioned on an even surface and deflected at a uniform speed. The deflection specified shall be comparable to that of the sealing in service.
