16、. United States1But it shall not be considered in itself as a criterion foracceptance in the case of cellular glass.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

17、of completeimmersion for a prescribed time interval. Surface 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 res

18、ult ofdirect immersion in liquid water. It is intended 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 a

19、s stainless steel.5.3.3.3 Synthetic Sponge, 4 by 7 by 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

20、 Distilled Water.5.3.4 Procedure:5.3.4.1 Carefully measure 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), thensubme

21、rge it horizontally under 25 mm (1 in.) of watermaintained 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 wi

22、th a damp sponge for 1 min per large face and 1 minfor 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 specim

23、en immediately (W2) to the nearest 0.1g.5.3.5 Calculation 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

24、volume; or as a function ofweight percent, weight of water 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-

25、laboratory tests is given in Research Report RR:C16-1007.6The 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 mad

26、e regarding bias.5.4 Compressive StrengthDetermine the compressivestrength in accordance with Test Method C165 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

27、asuitable abrasive surface to produce the required flat surface.5.4.2 The test specimens shall be 9 by 12 in. (225 by 300mm) by nominal received thickness, 12 by 18 in. (300 by 450mm) by nominal received thickness, or 18 by 24 in. (450 by600 mm) by nominal received thickness. Quadrant specimensshall

28、 be taken from any one of four equal area quadrants of thepreformed block. The minimum acceptable specimen size is 8by 8 in. (200 by 200 mm). The report shall include thespecimen size.5.4.3 Cap both bearing surfaces of the specimens as follows:Coat one surface with molten Type III or Type IV asphalt

29、(350, +50, 25F (preheated to 177, +28, 14C), completelyfilling the surface cells with a small excess. Such a coatingapplication rate is approximately 0.20 lb/ft2(1.0 kg/m2) 6 25%. Immediately press the hot coated block onto a precut pieceof felt or paper laying on a flat surface. This is to prevent

30、theasphalt surface from sticking to the compression platten duringthe test. A lightweight kraft paper is suitable, although tradi-tionally a Type 1 roofing felt paper, commonly called a No. 15asphalt felt, per Specification D226/D226M or D4869/D4869M has been used.NOTE 1A hot asphalt capping is used

31、 to simulate field appliedsystems, 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

32、 the specimens on edge, exposing 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 C390 where applicable.For the purpose of inspection by users repre

33、sentative orindependent third party, 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 material

(225by 300 mm) specimens, 500 lbf/s (2200 N/s) for 12 by 18 in.(300 by 400 mm) specimens and 1000 lbf/s

36、 (4400 N/s) for 18by 24 in. (450 by 600 mm) specimens. An alternate methodwould be to use a crosshead speed of 0.01 in./min (0.1mm/min) per inch (centimetre) of specimen thickness.5.4.7 Due to the sample preparation, with the inclusion offelts and asphalt, the method described in Test Method C165 to

37、determine compressive modulus of elasticity does not apply forcellular 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

40、c-tivity in accordance with Test Method C177 or Test MethodC518. In the case of cellular glass, the following points deservespecial attention:5.6.1 To achieve flatness and parallelism of the surface asrequired by Test Method C177 or Test Method C518, thefollowing method is suggested:5.6.1.1 By sawin

41、g from the original block, prepare a speci-men with the 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 side

42、s of the specimen.Insert a uniform sheet of paper with 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.Alterna

43、tively to machinedbars, is the use of cold-rolled steel 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 th

44、e thickness bars.5.6.1.4 Turn the specimen upside down 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

45、.1.6 If the specimens have to be shipped, provide ad-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

46、is recommended that thetemperature difference between 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

47、 their number shall be minimizedin the guard area.5.6.4 The number of specimens to be tested and the sam-pling plan shall conform to Practice C390 where applicable.For the purpose of inspection by users representative orindependent third party, the number of specimens shall con-form to ISO 3951 insp
