specimen. Place it in a container filled with IRM903 standard oil specified in Table A.3
of GB/T 1690-2010 (additives in the oil shall be chemically inert to thermoplastic
materials). Put the container in a 72°C±2°C high-temperature box for 70h. Then let the
specimen cool down to the test ambient temperature in the test solution. Take out the
specimen. Wipe the inner and outer surfaces with filter paper. Measure the final volume
of the specimen in the same way as above. Calculate the volume change rate of the
