Test Specimens7.1 Standard LaminatesPrepare standard fiber-reinforcedlaminates using identical reinforcement in all of the laminates.The laminates shall be constructed of the fo

17、llowing materials:7.1.1 Surfacing Mat (Veil)A thin mat of fine fibers usedprimarily to produce a smooth, resin-rich surface on a rein-forced plastic. The surfacing veil helps determine the thicknessof the resin-rich layer, reduces microcracking and provides anon-wicking chemicallyresistant layer. Th

18、e surfacing veilshall be compatible with the resin, and manufactured withuniform fiber distribution and non-bundled fibers. The dry veillayer(s) shall be a minimum 10 mils in thickness and producea 10 to 15 mil resin-saturated veil layer per 10 mils of dry veil.To eliminate the surfacing veil as a v

19、ariable in corrosion tests,prepare each laminate within a test group with the samesurfacing veil.7.1.2 Chopped Strand MatType E glass fiber with sizingand binder compatible with the resin. It is acceptable to useother glass fiber compositions, but using such alternate com-positions shall be consider

20、ed as variables for comparison to thestandard.7.1.2.1 Note that this practice applies to E-CR glass fiber,which is a type of E glass fiber. If the E glass fiber material isof the E-CR type that information shall be identified in the testreport.7.1.3 ResinCatalyzed and promoted in accordance withthe

21、resin manufacturers recommendation.NOTE 2It is acceptable to add fillers, such as antimony trioxide forimproved fire performance or thixotropes for viscosity control, but it ispossible that this will detract from the corrosion resistance of the testlaminate.7.2 Dimensions and General PropertiesThe l

22、aminatesshall conform to the required dimensions and general proper-ties of 7.2 and be fabricated in accordance with 7.3.7.2.1 Laminate SizeA suitable laminate size has beenfound to be 26 by 33 in. (660 by 838 mm) after trimming. Thislaminate size is not restrictive and other dimensions areacceptabl

23、e.7.2.2 ThicknessThe thickness of the cured standard lami-nate shall be between 0.120 and 0.140 in. (3.05 and 3.56 mm).7.2.3 Reinforcement ContentThe glass fiber and bindershall be 4.73 6 0.47 oz/ft2(three layers of 1.5 oz/ft2choppedstrand mat 4.5 oz/ft2having a nominal binder content of 3.5 %and tw

24、o layers of 10 mil surfacing mat 0.23 oz/ft2having anominal binder content of 7 %)determined by preweighingthe materials prior to construction of the laminate. This isequivalent to 23.6 weight % (12.5 volume %) glass fiber whenusing a resin having a cured specific gravity of 1.15. Such alaminate wil

25、l have a thickness of 0.125 in. (3.18 mm). The useof resins having different specific gravities will result indifferent weight percentages of glass fiber, but the volumepercentage of glass fiber will remain the same. When usingsynthetic organic fiber surfacing veil, the glass content shall be4.50 6

26、0.45 oz/ft2( three layers of 1.5oz/ft2chopped strandmat having a nominal binder content of 3.5 %).7.2.4 HardnessThe hardness shall be at least 90 % of thatof a fully-cured clear casting of the resin, or of a similarlyconstructed laminate as defined by the resin manufacturer.Hardness shall be determi

27、ned in accordance with s5.1. Notethat the use of synthetic veil will result in significantly lowerhardness values. The hardness value will vary with the type ofresin and number of plies of synthetic veil. The resin manu-facturer needs to be contacted for the allowable Barcolhardness value of a lamin

28、ate containing synthetic veils with thespecific resin.7.2.5 Laminate ConditionThe laminate shall meet Accep-tance Level I of Table I of Practice D2563.7.3 Fabrication of Standard LaminateThe sequence oflay-up shall be as follows:7.3.1 Apply catalyzed resin and a 10-mil (0.25-mm) surfac-ing mat on a

29、flat surface covered with plastic release film ortreated with a suitable release agent and roll to distribute resin.NOTE 3Use the following formula as a guide to determine the totalweight of resin to be used. This is equivalent to 12.5 volume % glass fiberin the laminate. Grams resin equals grams gl

30、ass fiber material per 7.2.3times 2.82 G. Where G equals specific gravity of cured resin. It isacceptable to use excess resin due to loss by adhering to mixingcontainers, rollers, and other factors. A suggested amount of excess resinis 10 to 15 % by weight.7.3.2 Follow with three plies of 1.5 oz/ft2

31、chopped strandmat and resin. Roll after each ply to distribute and wet-out thechopped strand mat. Rolling with a serrated roller is acceptableafter each ply to remove entrapped air but it shall be done inaccordance with 7.3.4. The mat weight shall be within 65%of1.5 oz/ft2upon weighing the full 26 b

32、y 33-in. cut (660 by838-mm) piece, (or other full dimension used, 7.2.1.).NOTE 4Cut chopped strand mat so that the 26-in. dimension is acrossthe width of the roll and the 33-in. dimension is along the machinedirection of the mat. Mat weight variation will most commonly occuracross the width of the m

33、at. If a wide roll of mat, 52 in. (1320 mm) orgreater, is used, place the two plies of mat in the laminate such that thecenter cut of one ply is placed over the outside edge of the second ply. Ifnarrower width mat is used, reverse the second ply 180 in the machinedirection and lay it on top of the f

34、irst ply to minimize weight variations.7.3.3 Follow with a 10-mil (0.25-mm) surfacing mat as in7.3.1.7.3.4 Remove the air by rolling over the surface with aserrated metal or plastic roller. Take care not to expel enoughresin to raise the glass content above the permissible maxi-mum. The laminate is

35、considered within the range of allowablelevels of resin and glass if the thickness of the laminate iswithin 0.120 and 0.140 in. (3.05 and 3.56 mm), as described in7.2.2.7.3.5 After the lay-up is completed, cover the laminate witha plastic release film to prevent air inhibition or to provide auniform

36、 smooth glossy surface, or both. Carefully smoothdown to remove entrapped air.C581 152NOTE 5It is acceptable to use any convenient method for theapplication of the release film. Regardless of how it is applied, it is criticalthat any entrapped air between the film and the laminate be entirelyremoved

37、. One method of application is done by previously wrapping thefilm around a metal rod. Starting at one edge of the laminate, slowly unrollthe film from the rod, keeping a bead of resin ahead of the rod as you crossthe laminate. Any entrapped air remaining can be removed by rubbing atongue depressor

38、across the release film surface. Carefully pull the filmtaut and fasten at the edges to prevent wrinkling of the film. Placing stops(neoprene has been found to be suitable) around the edges of the laminateand passing a heavy metal roller over the laminate helps to insure uniformcontrolled thickness.

39、7.3.6 Cure as recommended by the resin manufacturer. Thecure schedule shall be reported.7.3.7 Trim edges as required.7.4 Record of Standard Laminate ConstructionRecord theproperties of the standard laminate as follows:7.4.1 HardnessDetermine Barcol hardness on the strip asdescribed in 7.2.4 in accor

40、dance with Test Method D2583.7.4.2 Laminate ConditionsVisually examine the laminate.The laminate shall meet Acceptance Level I of Table 1 ofPractice D2563.7.4.3 If the laminate meets the requirements of thisspecification, retain the laminate sections for preparation of testspecimens.NOTE 6The major

41、criteria for accepting a laminate is thickness andnot glass content. If glass content is desired, cut eight 1 by 1 in. specimensfrom the center of the laminate and test in accordance with Test MethodD2584.7.5 Individual Test Specimens:7.5.1 Specimens for immersion in test solutions shall beapproxima

42、tely 4 by 5 in. (101.6 by 127 mm), cut from thestandard laminate.7.5.2 Identity of specimens shall be maintained by suitablemeans.7.5.3 Cut edges and drilled holes, if used for suspension,shall be sanded smooth and coated with paraffinated resin.7.5.4 The number of specimens required is dependent on

43、 thenumber of test solutions to be employed, the number ofdifferent temperatures at which testing is performed, and thenumber of test intervals. In addition, at least two 4 by 5 in.(101.6 by 127 mm) specimens shall be available for test (see8.4) following the curing period, prior to immersion.8. Pro

44、cedure8.1 Measurement of SpecimensImmediately following thecuring period, measure the thickness of the specimens to thenearest 0.001 in. (0.025 mm) at the geometric center of each ofthe intended 1 by 3 in. (25.4 by 76.2 mm) specimens that willbe cut for flexural tests after the completed exposures.

45、Measurethe weight of the specimens to the nearest 0.01 g. Thesethickness and weight measurements shall also be used forcomparison against thickness and weight measurements afterthe completed exposures.8.2 ExposureFollowing the curing period, as specified in7.3.6, prior to immersion, record a brief d

46、escription of the colorand surface appearance of the coupons and the color and theclarity of the test solution. The total number of coupons percontainer is not limited except by the ability of the container tohold the coupons without touching each other or the container.The coupons must always be co

47、mpletely immersed. Couponsshall be vertical, parallel, and spaced a minimum of 0.25 in.(6.35 mm) apart. There shall be a minimum of 0.50 in. (12.7mm) between coupon edges and the container or the liquidsurface. Place the closed container in a constant temperatureoven adjusted to the required tempera

48、ture or in a suitablyadjusted liquid bath. Examine the coupons after 30, 90, 180days, and one year of immersion or other time intervals asrequired to determine the rate of attack.8.2.1 Discard the test solution and replace it with freshsolution as often as necessary to maintain original compositiona

49、nd concentration.As a minimum, solutions known to be stableneed to be replaced at the end of each test period.8.3 Cleaning and Examination After ExposureClean thecoupon and dry by blotting with a paper towel. Cold tap wateris normally used for specimen cleaning. If other cleaningagents are used, verify that they do not attack the resin beingtested.8.3.1 Note any indication of surface attack on a coupon, anydiscoloration of the test solution, and the formation of anysediment.8.3.2 After final blotting, immediately measure the couponthickness to the ne
