17、such as certain temperatures notexceeding specified limits, and shall be used only under those specific conditions.JULY 15, 2002 SUBJECT 1136 54 Undated References4.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this outline shall beinterpreted as referring to the lat

18、est edition of that code or standard.CONSTRUCTION5 General5.1 Ducting shall be constructed of nonporous, corrosion resistant material. A nonmetallic material usedin the construction of ducting shall not have a flame spread in excess of 1 foot per minute (0.005 m/s).See Vertical Flame Test, Section 1

19、1.5.2 The construction of ducting shall be such that connections are made to blowers or ventilating fittingswith standard clamps or with other means that are equivalent in tightness and strength.PERFORMANCE6 General6.1 All tests are to be conducted with the ducting stretched to its normal length. Th

20、e normal length of aflexible duct is to be determined by measurement after a 2-foot (610-mm) length of collapsed ducting hasbeen vertically suspended from one end for 24 hours at 25C.7 Air Flow Resistance Test7.1 When tested in accordance with 7.2 7.4, the air resistance of flexible or rigid ducting

21、 shall notexceed the applicable value specified in Table 7.1.7.2 A 10 foot (3.1 m) long sample of ducting is to be connected to the discharge port of a blower testchamber so that all discharge air passes through the test section. The connection at the chamber is toprovide for a smooth air flow path

22、between the chamber and duct, and the duct is to be supported so asto be substantially straight throughout its length.Table 7.1Air resistance at 1000 fpm air flowDuct diameter Duct cross-sectional area Maximum resistanceinches (mm) square inches (cm2) inches of water/100 ft.(Pa/m)2 (51) 3.14 (20.3)

When the required air flow is attained

24、, the static pressure of the testchamber alone is to be recorded. The resistance per 100 feet (30.5 m) of ducting is to be calculated asfollows:R = (SP1-SP2) (100/L)Where:R = Resistance of the ducting per 100 feet (30.5 m).SP1= Static pressure of test chamber plus the length of ducting.SP2= Static p

25、ressure of test chamber alone.L = Length of ducting under test in feet (m x 3.28).7.4 The test is to be repeated with a single 90 degree bend having a radius equal to the duct diameteror the minimum radius specified by the manufacturer, in the center of the sample. The duct is to besupported and sub

26、stantially straight throughout its length, other than at the 90 degree bend.8 Chemical Resistance Test8.1 Ducting shall show no evidence of delamination or deterioration of the materials to the degree that itdoes not function as intended when tested as described in 8.3 8.5.8.2 Swelling of the materi

27、al that does not involve structural deterioration meets the intent of therequirement when the material, after being cleaned, returns to within 10 percent of its original thicknessafter being dried in a circulating air oven at 50C (122F) for 4 hours.8.3 Five sample sections of the ducting are to be s

28、ubmerged so as to wet both the inside and outsidesurfaces of the samples for 100 hours at 23 2C (73 4F); one sample being submerged in each of thefollowing:a) Salt water (5 percent by weight) solution of sodium chloride in distilled water);b) Fresh water;c) Engine oil (SAE No. 30 Type ML);d) Bilge s

29、olvent (commercial products); ande) No. 2 diesel fuel.8.4 In addition to the immersions specified in 8.3, a section of ducting not less than 2 feet (610 mm) inlength is to be suspended over a tray and doused 20 times with ASTM Reference Fuel A (the compositionto be as specified in the Standard Test

30、Method Test for Rubber Property , Effect of Liquids, ASTM D471).The sample is to be allowed to dry for at least 1 hour prior to each dousing. The test is then to be repeatedusing ASTM Reference Fuel C, and then is to be repeated using standard denatured ethyl alcohol (galleystove fuel).JULY 15, 2002

31、 SUBJECT 1136 78.5 The samples then are to be examined for compliance with 8.1.8.6 CAUTION Testing with fuels is hazardous because of the presence of extremely flammable vapors.It is recommended that equipment for the removal of these vapors be provided.9 Strength Tests9.1 General9.1.1 Ducting shall

32、 not rupture, collapse, kink, or show evidence of delamination or porosity whensubjected to the tests described in 9.2.1 9.5.2.9.2 Tensile test9.2.1 A sample section of the ducting is to be fitted with plugs in each end and the sample clamped tothe adapter plugs. The plugs are to be used to apply an

33、 equally distributed tensile load to the sample.There is to be approximately 1 foot (305 mm) of ducting between the inner ends of the plugs at the startof the test.9.2.2 A tensile load is to be applied to the adapter plugs and gradually increased until the force on thesample equals 50 pounds (222 N)

34、, and the load then is to be maintained for 5 minutes.9.3 Collapse test9.3.1 A sample of ducting not less than 4 feet (1.2 m) long is to be plugged at both ends and subjectedfor 5 minutes to an internal vacuum of 4 inches of water (995.2 Pa) through a fitting in one end plug.During the test, the end

35、 plugs are to be secured to prevent longitudinal collapse of the sample.9.4 Vapor-tightness test9.4.1 The samples used in the tests specified in 9.2.1 9.3.1 are to be pressurized to 4 inches of water(995.2 Pa) while submerged in water to a depth sufficient to maintain the tops of the samplesapproxim

36、ately 2 inches (50.8 mm) below the surface.9.4.2 The presence of air bubbles along the duct surface is to constitute evidence of porosity.JULY 15, 2002SUBJECT 113689.5 Kink test9.5.1 When tested as described in 9.5.2, a duct shall not break, tear, or separate, and the bending shallnot result in a re

37、duction in the internal cross sectional area of the duct in excess of 20 percent.9.5.2 A length of flexible ducting is to be bent into a complete U-shape having the minimum radiusspecified by the manufacturer.10 Temperature Test10.1 General10.1.1 Ducting formed of nonmetallic material shall not have
