1、Designation: F 269 60 (Reapproved 2002)Standard Test Method forSag of Tungsten Wire1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 269; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in p
2、arentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a determination of the sagproperties of tungsten wire 0.030 in. (0.76 mm) and over indiameter.1.2 The values stated in in
3、ch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to consult andestablish appropriate
4、 safety and health practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Apparatus2.1 Bell Jar EnvelopeA suitable envelope surrounding thetest apparatus. The envelope may consist of a glass bell jar,preferably of a heat resistant glass (Warning A protectivemedium shall
5、 be provided over an exposed glass to preventinjury by flying glass in the event of an explosion), or may beconstructed of metal, in which case a transparent window shallbe provided in order that the behavior of the specimen undertest may be observed. The envelope may be rigidly supportedin a fixed
6、position or may by suspended in such a manner thatit can be raised or lowered into position over the test apparatus.A means shall be provided for maintaining within the envelopean atmosphere and steady supply flow of hydrogen. A flowmeter shall be incorporated in the hydrogen line so thatmeasurement
7、 and control of the gas flow may be maintained.The hydrogen line shall discharge at the upper levels of theenvelope and shall be baffled by a suitable diffusing device sothat no direct stream of the gas will play upon the testspecimens.2.2 Specimen SupportA suitably designed support andclamping devi
8、ce for holding the specimen within the envelopeduring testing. This support, which may be rigidly fixed orcapable of being raised into or lowered from the envelope,shall be made from a suitable metallic conductor so thatelectrical current from the power supply may be used to heatthe test specimen. A
9、n insulated clamping fixture shall beprovided at the top of the support so that the hairpin testspecimen will be firmly held. This clamping device shall becapable of rotating 90 on its axis in order that the testspecimen may be heated both in a vertical-position with itsapex down and in a horizontal
10、 position. A means shall beprovided for accomplishing this rotation without requiring theremoval of the test specimen from the clamping fixture.2.3 WeightsA set of weights comprising loads of 3, 4, 6,7, 9, 10, and 13 lb (1.4, 1.8, 2.7, 3.2, 4.1, 4.5, and 5.9 kg). Ahook shall be provided for attachin
11、g the required weight to theapex of the test specimen. This hook should be made fromtungsten wire and should be capable of supporting the heaviestweight at the elevated temperature of testing, without fear ofbreaking.NOTE 1A tungsten wire with a diameter of 0.080 in. is recommendedfor use as a hook.
12、2.4 Cathetometer or any other suitable instrument for mea-surement of the vertical displacement of the test specimen thatresults from the sag test. This instrument shall have a suitablescale so that movement of the specimen of as little as 0.5 mmmay be read.2.5 Power SupplyA supply of electric curre
13、nt sufficient toheat the test specimen to the required test temperatures. Ameter shall be provided in this supply to permit measurementof the current to an accuracy of 62%.3. Materials3.1 Hydrogen used for the test atmosphere shall have apurity meeting the following requirements:3.1.1 Moisture (wate
14、r), not more than 2.5 g/1000 ft3(2.5g/28 m3) as indicated by a dew point of 65C or below.3.1.2 Oxygen, not more than 10 ppm.3.1.3 Hydrocarbons (plus CO and CO2), not more than 20ppm.3.1.4 Nitrogen, not more than12 %.4. Test Specimen4.1 SurfaceThe specimen of tungsten wire to be tested forsag shall h
15、ave a clean, bright surface and shall be at least 15 in.in length.4.2 FormingWith the aid of external heat, the test speci-men shall be bent into a hairpin-shape until the distance1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F01 onElectronics and is the direct responsibility of Subc

17、 ends is 1 in. The hairpin is formed by bending thewire around a pin whose diameter is approximately twice thatof the test specimen.NOTE 2Note more than 20 % of the hairpin length (measured fromthe apex) shall be heated above a black heat when the hairpin is formed.Also, the legs of the formed hairp
18、in shall lie in the same plane.4.3 Test LengthThe formed test specimen shall be ofsufficient length so that when clamped in the fixture, theexposed lengths measured from the top of the apex will be asfollows:Wire Diameter ofTest Specimen, in.
