Pin test. Alternate term for expansion test.

Plastic deformation. Deformation that remains after the load causing it is removed. It is the permanent part of the deformation beyond the elastic limit of a material. It also is called plastic strain and plastic flow.

塑性变形。是指消除导致材料变形的负荷后仍然存在的变形。它是超出材料弹性极限变形的永久部分。它也称为塑性应变和塑性流动。

Plasticity. Tendency of a material to remain deformed after reduction of the deforming stress to a value equal to or less than its yield strength.

可塑度。变形应力减小至等于或小于其屈服强度后材料依旧保持变形的趋势。

Plasticity number. Index of the compressibility of rubber at elevated temperatures. Equal to 100 times the height of a standard specimen after 3 to 10 min compression by a 5 kg load. (ASTM D-926).

塑性指数。橡胶在高温下的可压缩性指数。当材料在5公斤的负荷下压缩3至10分钟，其塑性指数等于标准试样高度的100倍。(ASTM D - 926)。

Plastometer test. Method for determining ability of rubber to be compressed at an elevated temperature and to recover at room temperature. Results are reported as plasticity number and recovery. Test differs from compressibility and recovery test in that the latter measures behavior of material subjected to short-time loading at room temperature.

塑性计检验。测定橡胶在高温下压缩和室温下恢复能力的方法。结果记录为塑性指数和恢复率。该检验不同于可压缩性试验和恢复率试验，后者可测量材料于室温下短时间承受负荷作用的性能。

Poisson’s ratio. Ratio of lateral strain to axial strain in axial loaded specimen. It is the constant that relates modulus of rigidity to Young’s modules in the equation: E = 2G (r + 1) where E is Young’s modulus; G, modulus or rigidity and r, Poisson’s ratio. The formula is valid only within the elastic limit of a material. A method for determining Poisson’s ratio is given in ASTM E-1321.

泊松比。轴向负荷试样的横向应变与轴向应变之比。它是将刚性模量与杨氏模量相关联的常数：E = 2G (r + 1)，其中，E为杨氏模量； G为模量或刚性，r为泊松比。该公式仅在材料的弹性极限内有效。ASTM E-1321中给出了测定泊松比的方法。

Proof stress. Stress that will cause a specified permanent deformation.

弹性极限应力。会引起指定永久变形的应力。

Proportional limit. Highest stress at which stress is directly proportional to strain. It is the highest stress at which the curve in a stress-strain diagram is a straight line.Proportional limit is equal to elastic limit for many metals.

比例极限。是指应力与应变成正比的最大应力。它是应力应变图中曲线是一条直线的最大应力。就大部分金属而言，比例极限等于弹性极限。

Pusey and Jones indentation. Measure of indentation hardness of rubber. It is the depth of penetration of a ball indentor under a load applied by a plastometer. (ASTM D-531).
