Samples thus formed may be used for refereetesting when setting specifications between producer and user.Establish by mutual agreement and specify in the report theforming parameters such as sample size, workability, andform

(228 by 114 by64-mm) samples, because of their large cross-section, have agreater tendency to form flaws during pressing, handling, anddrying than smaller cro

It is not intended to duplicate all fieldinstallation conditions.3.4 Variations in workability as determined by Test MethodC181 can significantly affect the number of flaws contained ina specimen.

Apparatus4.1 Power Press, preferably of the hydraulic type, equippedwith suita

10、ble molds for forming specimens of the required size(Note 1) and capable of pressing to a minimum of 1500 psi(10.34 MPa) pressure when forming the largest cross-sectionalarea specimen.NOTE 1It may be advisable to have the molds slightly oversized sothat, after drying, the specimens will be close to

11、the required size for thespecific test.4.2 Drying Oven, preferably forced-draft rather than naturalconvection, capable of maintaining 230F (110C) with acapacity to hold the specimens.4.3 Balance, sufficient capacity to measure specimens withsensitivity of 0.02 lb (9 g).4.4 Thermometer, with a range

Sampling5.1 Keep the container or package unopened until testing toensure the sample does not dry out.5.2 The ideal sampl

16、e test temperature is between 65 and75F (18 and 24C). Measure the temperature by inserting thefull length of the thermometer stem into the material. Note andrecord temperature when the reading is constant.6. Procedure6.1 Workability Index Measurement (Note 2)Determineand report workability of plasti

17、cs at the time of pressing inaccordance with the procedure described in Test Method C181(Note 3).NOTE 2A workability index between 17 and 23 is the optimum rangefor pressing samples with a minimum amount of flaws. If higherworkability material is used in referee tests between two or morelaboratories

18、, the workability should be the same, (63 %), for the materialbeing tested.NOTE 3Since no suitable standard test exists for gaging the workabil-ity of ramming mixes, participants in a referee test should agree thatsamples of similar formability are being tested.6.2 Filling the Mold SpecimensUse the

19、power press toform the test specimens. In order to facilitate filling the mold,break the material into pieces that vary in size, the largestdimension being 1-in. (25-mm). Carefully pack these piecesinto the mold, in order to achieve uniform distribution ofmaterial.6.2.1 Do not expose the material be

20、ing pressed to theatmosphere for periods longer than 15 min. Cover with animpermeable material if longer periods of air exposure areexpected (Note 4).NOTE 4Exposure in air may lead to a change in workability.6.3 Pressing of SpecimensApply a pressure sufficient toachieve a well-consolidated specimen

21、(typically 750 to 1250psi (5.17 to 8.62 MPa) for plastics, higher pressures may benecessary for ramming mixes) (Note 5). Avoid excessivepressure which forces a portion of the mix out of the mold byextrusion through the clearance space located between theplunger of the mold and the walls of the die c

22、avity (Note 6). Toeliminate possible entrapped air, apply an initial load ofapproximately 250 psi (1.72 MPa). Relieve this pressure, andthen increase to the selected pressure.NOTE 5Single- and double-action presses may produce differingdegrees of consolidation when pressing some ramming mixes.NOTE 6

23、The total clearance space between the plunger and the wallsshould not exceed116 in. (1.6 mm).6.4 Removal of Specimens from MoldWhen removing thespecimen from the mold, use the two support pieces against thesides of the specimen (as shown in Fig. 1) in order to pick upthe bar and move it subsequently

24、 for measuring, weighing, anddrying (Note 7).NOTE 7Use of the supports uniformly distributes the force of grippingthe bar and prevents the specimen from flexing during the critical handlingstage. This prevents a major source of induced flaws (cracks) that causedamage to the specimen. Specimens made

25、from high workability plasticsare especially susceptible to this damage. Distortion of the specimen mayalso be caused by handling.6.5 Measurement of Weight and DimensionsImmediatelyupon removal from the mold, place each bar on the balance(using waxed paper to prevent sticking to the pan surface) and

26、weigh to the nearest 0.02 lb (9 g). With the linear measuringdevice, measure the specimen (5.2 of Test Method C179) forall dimensions to the nearest 0.02 in. (0.5 mm) and record theresults. Label and make reference marks to indicate the exactlength measurement points.6.6 Drying of Specimens:6.6.1 St

27、andard Drying ScheduleImmediately aftermeasuring, use the handling procedure described in 6.4,tomove the bars to a non-stick ventilated surface (Note 8) andallow the specimen to air dry for a minimum of 15 h. Thedrying surface will be of sufficient strength and supported so asto not bend or sag unde

28、r the weight of the specimens. If usinga wire or metal mesh grid, support it a minimum of 1-in.(25-mm) above the table top to allow air circulation. After theair drying is complete, place in dryer and raise the temperatureof the drying oven to 230F (110C) in 1 h. Hold for at least 15h.NOTE 8Plastic

29、film or waterproof paper is not recommended for thissurface. They inhibit movement of moisture out of the bottom of the bar.Flat expanded metal grids, ceramic fiber paper, or similar materials arepreferred because they do not act as vapor barriers.6.6.2 Alternate Drying ProceduresImmediately after m

30、ea-suring the specimen, place in the oven and raise the tempera-ture of the drying oven from ambient to 170F (75C) in 1 h.Hold at least 12 h. Raise the temperature of the drying oven to230F (110C) in 1 h. Hold for at least 15 h.6.6.3 CoolingCool the bars to room temperature.6.7 Measurement of Weight

31、 and Dimensions of the DriedSpecimensRemeasure and reweigh the specimens at roomtemperature as described in 6.5 and record the data.NOTE 9Storage of Specimen If more than 8 h will elapse beforetests are performed on the bars, keep them dry by replacing them in aTwo support pieces are used against th
