The following is the Ordering Data in accordance with M2BG610A14B14EO14 ASTM-D 2000: • M - all values stated in Sl units • 2-Grade number; the number 2 means additional requirement are called out in the classification such as A14, B14, and E014 • BG - material is polyurethane • 610 - hardness is 60 +/- 5 shore A; Tensile strength is a minimum of 1,450 psi, and Ultimate elongation is a minimum of 300% • A14 - "A" means heat resistance, 14 means ASTM test is D 573 run for 70 hours at 100 Deg C. However, there are no values for a Grade 2 material.
