16、 PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.5.3 Water Absorption:5.3.1 ScopeThis test method covers the determination ofwater absorption of cellular glass insulating blocks by measur-ing the amount of water retained as a result of completeimmersion for a prescribed time interval. S

17、urface blotting isused to correct for the water absorbed on the cut surface cells.5.3.2 Significance and UseThis test method provides ameans of measuring the water absorption of cellular glassinsulating blocks under isothermal conditions as a result ofdirect immersion in liquid water. It is intended

18、 for use inproduct evaluation and quality control.5.3.3 Equipment and Materials:5.3.3.1 Balance, minimum 1500 g capacity and 0.1 g orgreater sensitivity.5.3.3.2 Immersion Tank, equipped with inert specimen sup-ports and top surface weights such as stainless steel.5.3.3.3 Synthetic Sponge, 4 by 7 by

19、1.5 in. (100 by 180 by40 mm) or larger. Sponges found acceptable to use includecellulosic sponges and fine-pored absorbent synthetic plasticsponges.5.3.3.4 Test Room, with temperature of 70 6 5F (21 63C) and relative humidity of 50 6 10 %.5.3.3.5 Distilled Water.5.3.4 Procedure:5.3.4.1 Carefully mea

20、sure the thickness, width, and lengthto the nearest 1 mm of a cellular glass block, preferably 2 by12 by 18 in. (50 by 300 by 450 mm) and calculate the volumeand exposed surface area.5.3.4.2 Weigh the specimen to the nearest 0.1 g (W1), thensubmerge it horizontally under 25 mm (1 in.) of watermainta

21、ined at 70 6 5F (21 6 3C). Inert top surface weightsare required to keep it submerged. After submerging it for 2 h,set the specimen on end on a damp cotton bath towel to drainfor 10 min. After the 10 min, remove the excess surface waterby hand with a damp sponge for 1 min per large face and 1 minfor

22、 the four sides. Wring out the sponge before and once inbetween for each face and pass a minimum of two times oneach surface. Blot each face of the specimen equally bycompressing the sponge by a minimum of 10 % of its thick-ness. Weigh the specimen immediately (W2) to the nearest 0.1g.5.3.5 Calculat

23、ion of ResultsCalculate the weight of waterabsorbed (W2 W1) and express it as a function of the exteriorsurface of the sample (g/cm2). Water absorption is also beexpressed as a function of volume percent, absorbed watervolume divided by specimen volume; or as a function ofweight percent, weight of w

24、ater absorbed (W2 W1) dividedby the dry specimen weight (W1). Such ways of expressing theresults shall be strictly limited to direct comparison of resultson specimens of identical sizes.5.3.6 Precision and BiasThe precision as determined ininter-laboratory tests is given in Research Report RR C16-10

25、07.6The repeatability or single-laboratory operator precisionis 60.00060 g/cm2or 60.030 volume % (61S). The repro-ducibility or multilaboratory operator precision is 60.00071g/cm2or 60.035 volume %. Due to a lack of a standard, nostatement is made regarding bias.5.4 Compressive StrengthDetermine the

26、 compressivestrength in accordance with Test Method C 165 Procedure A,with the following test parameters and specimen preparationtechniques:5.4.1 Each of the two parallel bearing surfaces of thespecimens shall be plane. When required, rub them on asuitable abrasive surface to produce the required fl

27、at surface.5.4.2 The test specimens shall preferably be one half block12 by 18 in. (300 by 450 mm) by nominal received thickness.Alternates include a quadrant 9 by 12 in. 225 by 300 mm() ora full block 18 by 24 in.(450 by 600 mm) by nominal receivedthickness. A quadrant specimen shall be taken from

28、any one offour equal area quadrants of the preformed block. The mini-mum acceptable specimen size is 8 by 8 in. (200 by 200 mm).The report shall include the specimen size.5.4.3 Cap both bearing surfaces of the specimens as follows:Coat one surface with molten Type III or Type IV asphalt(350, + 50, 2

29、5F (preheated to 177, + 28, 14C), com-pletely filling the surface cells with a small excess. Such acoating application rate is approximately 0.20 lb/ft2(1.0 kg/m2)6 25%. Immediately press the hot coated block onto a precutpiece of felt or paper laying on a flat surface. This is to preventthe asphalt

30、 surface from sticking to the compression plattenduring the test. A lightweight kraft paper is suitable, althoughtraditionally a Type 1 roofing felt paper, commonly called aNo. 15 asphalt felt, per Specification D 226 has been used.NOTE 1A hot asphalt capping is used to simulate field appliedsystems

31、, which require a high load bearing insulation product, rangingfrom roof applications to cryogenic storage tank base applications.Uncapped material or different cappings will give different values.Properly capped surfaces shall be approximately plane andparallel. Set the specimens on edge, exposing

32、both cappedsurfaces to room temperature for a minimum of 15 min toallow the asphalt to harden before testing.5.4.4 The number of specimens to be tested and the sam-pling plan shall conform to Practice C 390 where applicable.For the purpose of inspection by users representative orindependent third pa

33、rty, the number of specimens shall con-form to ISO 3951 inspection level S-4, 10.0 % AQL using theS method.5.4.5 Compress the specimen until failure. The deformationat failure will vary, depending on the thickness of insulationand the thickness of the capping materials. Record the loads atthe failur

34、e point or definite yield point. The compressivestrength is calculated from this load divided by the specimencross sectional area in accordance with Test Method C 165.5.4.6 The rate of loading will depend on the type ofequipment used. With a hydraulic test machine use a constantload rate of 500 lbf/

35、s (2200 N/s) for half block specimen. Witha screw driven machine use a crosshead speed of 0.01 in./min.(0.1 mm/min.) per cm (in.) of specimen thickness, within atolerance of 625 %. Another alternate testing procedure is toreach failure within 30 to 90 s nominal 2.3 psi/s (16kPa/s).5.4.7 Due to the s

36、ample preparation, with the inclusion offelts and asphalt, the method described in Test Method C 1656Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and maybe obtained by requesting Research Report RR: C16 1007.C2400812to determine compressive modulus of elasticity does not applyf

37、or cellular glass as a material by itself.NOTE 2It has been found extremely convenient to employ a partiallysubmerged roll (see Fig. 1) for applying the asphalt.5.5 Flexural StrengthDetermine flexural strength in ac-cordance with Test Method C 203, Method I or Method II,ProcedureA, preferably with a

38、 test specimen 1 in. thick by 4 in.wide by 12 in. long ( 25 mm thick by 100 mm wide by 300 mmlong).5.5.1 Measure the distance between the supports fromcenter to center of the bearing bars.5.5.2 The number of specimens to be tested and the sam-pling plan shall conform to Practice C 390 where applicab

39、le.For the purpose of inspection by users representative orindependent third party, the minimum number of specimensshall conform to ISO 3951 inspection level S-3, 10.0 % AQLusing the S method.5.6 Thermal ConductivityDetermine the thermal conduc-tivity in accordance with Test Method C 177 or Test Met

40、hodC 518. In the case of cellular glass, the following pointsdeserve special attention:5.6.1 To achieve flatness and parallelism of the surface asrequired by Test Method C 177 or Test Method C 518, thefollowing method is suggested:5.6.1.1 By sawing from the original block, prepare a speci-men with t

41、he required dimensions, its thickness being 2 or 3mm greater than the final thickness.5.6.1.2 Place the specimen on a flat metal plate slightlylarger than the specimen itself and put two machined metalbars on the metal plate near two opposite sides of the specimen.Insert a uniform sheet of paper wit

42、h a thickness 0.01 in. (14mm) between the flat base plate and the metal bars but notunder the sample. The metal bars are as thick as the finalthickness of the specimen and machined so that their top andbottom surfaces are flat and parallel.Alternatively to machinedbars, is the use of cold-rolled ste

43、el bars. These bars generallyare sufficiently flat and uniform in thickness.5.6.1.3 Using a third straight metal bar long enough to lapmetal bars on each side, carefully rub off the upper face of thespecimen until the scraping bar just contacts the thickness bars.5.6.1.4 Turn the specimen upside dow

44、n and place it back onthe flat metal plate and put the two metal bars on the metalplate near two opposite sides of the specimen, this time withoutthe sheet of paper under each metal bar.5.6.1.5 Repeat the rubbing operation described in 5.6.1.3.5.6.1.6 If the specimens have to be shipped, provide ad-

45、equate protection.5.6.2 Due to the rigid nature of the material and its open cellsurface, it is preferable to have the thermocouples mounted onthe surface of the plates and not adhered to the surface of thespecimens.5.6.3 For maximum accuracy, it is recommended that thetemperature difference between

46、 the hot and cold surfaces of thespecimens is such that the temperature gradient in the specimenequals or exceeds 40 F/in. (900 K m1).Avoid specimens madefrom several pieces of cellular glass. Joints are prohibited inthe central measuring area and their number shall be minimizedin the guard area.5.6

47、.4 The number of specimens to be tested and the sam-pling plan shall conform to Practice C 390 where applicable.For the purpose of inspection by users representative orindependent third party, the number of specimens shall con-form to ISO 3951 inspection level S-3, 10.0 % AQL using theS method.5.7 S
