Abstract

Provided are a large-diameter steel wire having excellent bending performance, a marine hose comprising the steel wire, and an evaluation method capable of simply and easily ascertaining the bending performance of the steel wire. A single steel wire 6w having an outer diameter of more than or equal to 5 mm is held by a pair of holders 11 that are longitudinally spaced apart by a prescribed interval L, and a tensile test is conducted. The bending performance of the steel wire 6w is evaluated on the basis of a comparison of the value of the reduction R of area of the steel wire 6w that has ruptured with a pre-set reference value Rx. The prescribed interval L is 30 mm, the tensile rate is 50 mm/min, the temperature is room temperature, and the reduction R of area (%) is a value calculated according to ((S0-S1)/S1)×100, where S0 is the cross-sectional area of the steel wire 6w before the tensile test, and S1 is the cross-sectional area of the fractured surface after the tensile test.

The release layer is composed mainly of PVA and the water dissolution temperature is set to 50° C. or higher. When the inner surface rubber layer and the inner reinforcing layer group are damaged, the release layer is separated from the inner reinforcing layer group to form a gap therebetween. A fluid leaking from a flow path on an inner side of the inner surface rubber layer flows through the gap and a communication pipe and reaches a leak detector disposed on a hose surface.

After a drone 21 has moved to the airspace in the upper vicinity of an IC tag 11 placed on the surface of a marine hose 1, the detection result of the detection index by a detector 10 is transmitted through a return radio wave R2 and is input to a calculation device 20 as acquisition data, the return radio wave R2 being transmitted from the IC tag 11 activated by a transmission radio wave R1 transmitted from a communicator 19 mounted on the drone 21, to the communicator 19 in response to the transmission radio wave R1. The internal condition of the marine hose 1 is determined by the calculation device 20 on the basis of the magnitude of the difference between the acquisition data and the reference data. The external condition of the marine hose 1 is determined by the calculation device 20 on the basis of the difference between the image data acquired by a camera device 22 while the drone 21 is in the airspace above the marine hose 1 and the reference image data.

Abstract

Provided are a method and a system that enable highly productive manufacture of an elongated tire member formed by joining a plurality of types of constitutive members, through reduction of variation in predetermined quality in the longitudinal direction. A step of conveying a tire member R in a longitudinal direction L by using a conveyor 2, while irradiating, by an X-ray inspection device 3, a predetermined length range C with an X-ray from a surface side of the tire member R to obtain image data D based on X-ray permeability is continuously carried out to obtain the image data D of the predetermined length range C that is continuous in the longitudinal direction L without any gap. The mass of the tire member R and the magnitude of variation in a distribution of a constitutive member M1 formed from unvulcanized rubber having a greater content of a particular component in the longitudinal direction L are calculated by a calculation device 4 on the basis of the color density in each image data D. The variation is reduced by controlling rotating speed of a screw 8s installed inside at least one extruder 8 by a control device 9 on the basis of the magnitude of the variation.

The sipe is formed in a zigzag shape that has an amplitude in a width direction of the sipe while extending in a longitudinal direction of the sipe. A magnitude of the amplitude changes according to a position in a depth direction of the sipe. A depth of a maximum amplitude portion from an opening portion of the sipe in the depth direction of the sipe is located at a position 30% or more of a maximum depth of the sipe. The maximum amplitude portion is a portion where a magnitude of the amplitude is maximum.

Abstract

Provided is a tire rubber composition by which snow performance, wet performance, and wear resistant performance can be improved, and these performances can be demonstrated with a high degree of balance. The tire rubber composition is obtained by blending a white filler in an amount of 30 parts by mass or more and less than 100 parts by mass and a thermoplastic resin in an amount of 15-80 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of a diene rubber containing: 55 mass% or more of a styrene-butadiene copolymer having a glass transition temperature of -55°C or more; and 5 mass% or more of a butadiene copolymer. In a mixture obtained by blending the diene rubber and the thermoplastic resin at a mass ratio of 1:1, the difference Tga-Tgm between a theoretical value Tga of the glass transition temperature of the mixture, which is calculated from the glass transition temperatures of the diene rubber and the thermoplastic resin, and a measured value Tgm of the glass transition temperature of the mixture is 10°C or more.

At least one of the circumferential grooves that defines the land portions in which the narrow groove is disposed has an amplitude in a width direction while extending in the circumferential direction to be formed in zigzag shape including long and short portions having relatively different lengths. The narrow groove has one or more bent portions where an extension direction changes in the land portions to include a long portion and a short portion having relatively different lengths. The long portion of the narrow groove has an inclination direction in the width direction with respect to the circumferential direction in a direction opposite to the long portion of the at least one of the circumferential grooves.
