17、8-2959, United States.4.4 Gaskets, of a chemically resistant material, capable ofwithstanding the chemical environment. The gaskets shall alsoprovide a tight seal between the test cell and test specimen.Gaskets having a Shore “A” Durometer of 60 are generallyadequate. The gasket material shall be se
18、lected so that it doesnot contaminate the test solution.4.5 Air or Gas BubblerIt may be necessary to include anair or gas bubbler to agitate or aerate the solution. Whereaeration is not required, a magnetic stirrer may be used tocreate agitation.4.5.1 At solution temperatures below boiling, agitatio
19、n isrequired to maintain temperature uniformity. Where the servicesolution is considered to be aerated, air should be bubbled intothe solution. In cases where the solution will be air or oxygendepleted, nitrogen or other suitable inert gas should be used foragitation.4.5.2 Insert a bubbler for air o
20、r other gas through the utilityopening in the test cell. The bubbler shall consist of a piece offluorocarbon or glass tubing18 in. (3 mm) in inside diameter,attached to the ground-glass fitting in the utility opening, andextending almost to the bottom of the test cell.4.6 Thermometer or Thermocouple
21、, to fit the prescribedthermowell, capable of registering the temperature specifiedfor the test.4.7 Mounting Equipment (Alternatives):4.7.1 Mount the test panels on the test cell with a minimumof three carbon steel bolts,14 or38 in. (6 or 9 mm) in diameter,using wing nuts for easy removal.4.7.2 “C”
22、clamp fixtures or stainless steel band clamps orother suitable means can be used to mount the test panels to thetest cell.4.7.3 Use clamping pressures sufficient to seal the opening,but not so great as to destroy the test cell or test panel ordamage the test lining.4.8 Cell Test Area:4.8.1 The cells
23、 should be maintained in an open, wellventilated area with temperature controlled to 73 6 4F (23 62C).4.8.2 The preferred method to ensure the free movement ofair past the surfaces is to utilize grills or grating to support thecells with several inches of clearance beneath the grating toallow air fl
24、ow past the plate surfaces. If this type of support isemployed, cells should be at least 6 in. (152 mm) away fromone another or any heat source.4.8.3 If open grating support is not used, cells should be atleast 12 in. (305 mm) from one another or from any potentialsource of heat. They should be plac
25、ed on an open shelf orbench top in such a way that free convective cooling of theunlined side of the test panels may occur.5. Test Specimens5.1 Substrate:5.1.1 Panels shall be commercial quality, unused, hot-rolledcarbon steel (Specifications A 36/A 36M or A 285/A 285M)14by 8 by 8 in. (6 by 200 by 2

27、ngs on concrete, fiber reinforced plastic (FRP), or other substrates.5.2 Prepare one side of the panels according to the surfaceconditions of NACE No. 1 SSPC-SP-5. The profile depth of thecleaned steel shall be as recommended by the lining manufac-turer. The average profile depth shall be measured b
28、y TestMethods D 4417.5.3 Apply the lining to the test panels as prescribed by themanufacturer and in a manner as closely simulating fieldapplication as possible. For example, if the lining is to be sprayapplied in the field, the lining for the test panels should bespray applied also. Lining thicknes
29、s should be within 10 % ofthe nominal thickness specified.5.3.1 The opposite (unprepared) side should be left unlined.A very thin (1 to 3 mils, 25 to 76 m) coating may be appliedto the unprepared side, if necessary, to prevent rusting.5.3.2 Wherever possible, duplicate test panels should be runto de
30、termine reproducibility of results.5.4 Conditioning of Test PanelsCondition test panels for aperiod of 7 days at 73 6 4F (23 6 2C). Additionalconditioning of test panels, including longer cure times orelevated cure temperatures, may be conducted if specified bythe lining manufacturer.5.5 Specimen Me
31、asurements:5.5.1 Check the thickness of the lining material by using anappropriate dry-film thickness gage.5.5.2 Check the discontinuities in the lining material ofone-side exposure test panels by using Practice D 5162.Consult the lining manufacturer for the recommended voltageto be used. Low voltag
32、e detectors are not recommended unlessspecifically recommended by the lining manufacturer.5.5.2.1 High-voltage holiday detection should not be usedon linings that have been exposed. The test could be destructiveand may not be meaningful since the dielectric strength of thelining material may be chan
33、ged by the exposure.5.5.2.2 If discontinuities are found, either repair the liningor replace the test panel(s).NOTE 3Certain linings are conductive and cannot be tested in thismanner.5.5.3 Visually inspect the lining surface of all panels beforethe test exposure is begun to determine the color, clar
34、ity,surface gloss, and surface texture; also, any gross imperfec-tions such as voids, cracks, runs, or sags.5.5.4 Determine the hardness of the lining by a suitablestandard hardness test such as Test Methods D 785, D 1474,D 2583, and D 3363 in an area of the panel that will not beexposed to the test
35、 solution. Hardness determinations may beinvalid for some aggregate-filled systems.6. Test Solution6.1 The test media shall simulate the anticipated serviceenvironment when testing lining materials for a specificapplication.6.1.1 The concentration(s) of the chemical(s) shall be speci-fied. Unless ot
36、herwise stated, all dilutions shall be made withdistilled, demineralized or deionized water.6.1.2 If no concentration is specified, it is understood thatthe chemical is used in its undiluted form.6.2 Analysis of the test solution may be performed when thefollowing conditions occur:6.2.1 Loss of medi
37、a or buildup of contaminants.6.2.2 Any change of the test solution.7. Procedure7.1 Following the conditioning period, clamp the test panelsin place at the ends of the test cell with the lining materialpositioned against the cell interior. Use a suitable gasketmaterial between the lining and cell fac
38、es described in 4.4 toensure against leakage of the test solution.7.2 The assembled test cell may be filled with tap water andheld approximately1htocheck for complete sealing of theapparatus.7.3 Fill the test cell23 to34 of its total height with the testsolution and commence heating, if required. Ma
39、rk the outer,unexposed panel area, indicating the test solution level forvisual control of the test solution level.7.4 Disassemble the test cell at one month or other intervalsfor inspection. When the apparatus is reassembled, recharge itwith fresh test media. Recharging of the test media may benece
40、ssary at more frequent intervals, if required due to thenature of the media, for instance, NaOCl (see Section 6).7.4.1 When test panels are disassembled from the test cell,rinse the panels with distilled water and wipe dry. No otherconditioning is required.7.5 Interim Evaluation:7.5.1 Make the visua
41、l inspection and record the results forthe following:7.5.1.1 ColorState any changes noted in the color of thelining.7.5.1.2 Surface GlossReport any dulling of the liningsurface.7.5.1.3 Surface TextureNote signs of chemical or physicalerosion.7.5.1.4 BlistersInspect the surface for blisters by visual
42、and audible methods such as lightly tapping or applying astraight edge to the surface of the panel. Describe the size,quantity, and location of blisters. Use Test Method D 714where possible.7.5.1.5 Changes in the test solution.7.6 Final Evaluation:7.6.1 After the sixth month of exposure or upon fail
43、ure,repeat the procedures described in Section 7.5 and conduct thefollowing additional tests:7.6.1.1 Determine the hardness of the lining as described in5.5.4 on portions of the panel exposed to: (1) liquid solution,(2) vapor phase, (3) liquid-vapor interface, and (4) unexposedarea.7.6.1.2 Make an a
44、ppraisal of the adhesion of the lining tothe substrate. Depending on the type of lining, this appraisalmay be made using different methods such as strip peeling,elcometer test (Test Method D 4541) or prying with a knife orsimilar equipment. Not all of these methods will provide aspecific value. Duri
45、ng this destructive evaluation, the locationof blisters should be determined. The blisters may be at theC868023surface of the substrate, between layers within the liningsystem, or within one layer of the lining system.7.6.1.3 High-voltage holiday detection should not be usedon linings that have been
46、 exposed. The test could be destructiveand may not be meaningful since the dielectric strength of thelining material may be changed by the exposure.8.
