34、rances” shall apply. 4.5.3 Standard Cleaning Unless otherwise specified herein, all test panels and jigs shall be cleaned using AMS3167 and AMS3819, Grade A, cleaning cloths. 4.5.4 Extrusion The extrusion plastometer shown in Figures 1 and 2 shall be packed with a hand rolled, cylindrically shaped m

35、ass of sealing compound about 0.75 inch (19 mm) in diameter and 2.25 to 2.50 inch (57.2 to 63.5 mm) long. Special precaution should be taken to avoid forming air pockets in the slug of sealing compound. Sufficient fingertip pressure shall be used to force the sealing compound into intimate contact w

36、ith the cylinder walls. The packed apparatus shall be stabilized for 24 hours at standard conditions (4.5.1). At the end of the stabilization period, insert the plastometer piston, center the assembly on the fixed base of a tensile machine, and load in compression at the constant rate of 0.100 0.002

37、 inch (2.54 0.05 mm) per minute. When the top of the piston is approximately 1.25 inches (31.8 mm) from the top of the plastometer cylinder, the maximum scale load which occurs during the ensuing 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) of piston travel shall be recorded. Clean the plastometer completely per 4.5.3 after

38、each trial. Repeat the test on the empty plastometer, measuring the scale load during the same piston travel location and the scale load obtained from the maximum scale loads obtained when the sealing compound was tested. The test shall be run in duplicate and the average of the results reported. In

39、dividual test results shall not deviate by more than 10% of the average value. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS3376C Page 7 of 17 4.5.5 Corrosion Resistance Two AMS4045 panels approximately 0.040 x 2.75 x 6 inches (1.02 x 69.8 x 152 mm) in size shall be cleaned in accordance with AS5127 (6.2.1). Two parallel f

40、illets of sealing compound 0.06 inch (1.5 mm) thick by 0.75 inch (19 mm) wide by 5 inches (127 mm) long shall be applied to one side of one of the panels. That panel shall be set aside under standard conditions, lying horizontally with the sealing compound face up, for a minimum of 24 hours. Both pa

41、nels shall be immersed vertically for 20 days in a covered glass vessel containing a 2-layer liquid consisting of a 3% aqueous sodium chloride solution and AMS2629, Type I, jet reference fluid, so that 2 inches (51 mm) of the panels are exposed to the salt water, 2 inches (51 mm) are exposed to jet

42、reference fluid, and the remainder is exposed to air-vapor mixture. The temperature during the exposure shall be maintained at 140 F (60 C) for 20 days. Immediately upon removal from the liquid, the sealing compound shall be removed using a non-metallic scraper and the panels examined for evidence o

43、f corrosion. 4.5.6 Pressure Rupture Specimens constructed in accordance with Figure 3 and finished as listed in Table 4 shall be used. Pack the sealing compound into the specimens taking care to eliminate air bubbles and stabilize the specimens at standard conditions (4.5.1) for not less than 24 hou

44、rs. The specimens shall be cooled to below -20 F (-29 C) and any excess material beyond flush shall be trimmed from the surfaces with a razor blade. One of the specimens shall be mounted in the pressure rupture jig (Figure 3). One air hose bib of the apparatus shall be connected to a manometer, the

45、other to a variable pressure source. The assembly shall be immersed in a water bath at 77 F (25 C) and stabilized for 5 minutes. Starting at atmospheric pressure, the pressure on the apparatus shall be uniformly increased at the rate of 1 inch (25 mm) of mercury per 15 seconds until failure occurs.

46、A continuous stream of air bubbles observed to come from the specimen shall constitute a failure. The pressure applied at the time of failure shall be recorded. Test the other two specimens in the same manner. The average failure pressure of the three specimens shall be reported to the nearest 0.5 i

47、nch (13 mm) of mercury (Hg). Table 4 - Pressure rupture specimens (3 each required) 1. Sulfuric acid anodized in accordance with AS5127 (6.3). 2. Sulfuric acid anodized in accordance with AS5127 (6.3) and coated with AMS-C-725 corrosion preventive coating. Application, coating thickness, and curing

48、shall be in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. Care shall be taken to ensure a thin, even coat in the slot. 4.5.7 Fuel Resistance 4.5.7.1 Volume Change Six AMS4045 aluminum panels, approximately 0.040 x 1 x 2.50 inches (1.02 x 25 x 63.5 mm), shall be weighed accurately to the nearest mil

49、ligram in air (W1), and in water (W2). A pad of sealing compound 0.06 x 1 x 2 inches (1.5 x 25 x 51 mm) shall be applied to each panel. One-half inch (12.7 mm) at one end of each panel shall not be coated for handling purposes. The sealing compound coated panels shall then be weighed in air (W3) and in water (W4). The panels shall be cond
