Terminology*
Autoclave – a pressure vessel used for the curing or vulcanization of rubber parts by means
of steam under pressure.
Blister – an isolated convex deformation arising from the detachment of one or more layers of
lining material.
Calender blister – trapped air between calender plies of a multi-ply rubber buildup.
Chemical Cure – a rubber lining system which can cure at low temperatures by topically
applying a liquid curing agent
Cutting table – a table used for laying out, cutting and cementing rubber sheets prior to
application to the component to be lined; often, the table is heated when used.
Closed skive (down skive) – a reverse-angle cut along the edge of a rubber panel that
enables the installer to stitch down the cut edge so that the bottom layer of rubber to tie gum is
protected from exposure to the commodity contained within the tank or pipe.
Defect – a condition that prevents the lining from serving its function.
Durometer – an instrument used for measuring the hardness of rubber and plastics; the “A”
durometer scale is used for flexible materials and the “D” for rigid materials.
Open skive – a cut made on an angle to the surface producing a tapered or feathered edge
with bottom layer of rubber or tie gum exposed to the commodity contained within the tank or
pipe.
Overlay – a layer of uncured stock applied to uncured sheet stock to achieve at least the
minimum thickness specified.
Patch or repair – the remedy to a defect that is done after vulcanization necessitating
application of uncured sheet stock to fully cured or vulcanized stock.
Primer – a coating applied to the surface of the material, prior to the application of an
adhesive, sometimes considered as a part of the adhesive system.
Semi-hard rubber – a term used for hard rubber which when fully cured is flexible and can be
bent without shattering.
Skive – a cut made on an angle to the surface producing a tapered or feathered edge.
Soft rubber – a term used for rubber with hardness after cure of 70 A Durometer scale or less.
Stitch – the act of joining two pieces of uncured rubber compound together by means of a
stitch roller, which is a handheld tool comprised of a wheel with a narrow edge that is often
serrated.
Tie gum – an intermediate layer of the rubber employed to promote bonding of two surfaces,
usually a soft rubber compound.
