1、Designation: C370 12 (Reapproved 2016)Standard Test Method forMoisture Expansion of Fired Whiteware Products1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C370; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last

2、 revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the elon-gation of whiteware bodies caused by rehydration as a result ofautoc

3、lave treatment.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

4、2. Significance and Use2.1 This test method provides means to determine increasesin physical dimension of fired whiteware materials whichdevelop from the reaction of water and water vapor at elevatedpressures and temperatures. These reactions can occur in timeat normal atmospheric pressures and temp

5、eratures; changes inphysical dimensions from water can influence the integrity andstability of an installation. In the case of glazed ware, moistureexpansion can lead to crazing.3. Apparatus3.1 Autoclave, that can safely be operated at 150 psi(1 MPa), and that has sufficient capacity to contain at l

6、east fivespecimens. The apparatus shall be equipped with a safetyvalve, a pressure gage accurate within 2 % of the scale range,and a source of heat of sufficient capacity to ensure a constantsteam pressure within the autoclave.3.2 Micrometer, at least 3 to 4 in. (76 to 102 mm), readingto 0.0001 in.

7、(0.003 mm), or a dial indicator graduated in0.0001-in. increments.3.3 Fixture, for mounting the micrometer or dial indicatorand for holding the specimen in such a manner that reproduc-ible results can be obtained. A fused silica reference shall beused to calibrate the fixture before each measurement

8、.4. Test Specimen4.1 The specimens shall be unglazed, rod-like in shape,about 3 to 4 in. (76 to 102 mm) long, and preferably cut fromthe center of production pieces of ware. The greatest thicknessshall not exceed 0.75 in. (19 mm), and the least dimension shallbe not less than 0.10 in. (2.5 mm).4.2 T

9、he specimens shall be cut to size and measuredimmediately after coming from the kiln or shall be stored in adesiccator until they can be cut and measured.4.3 The ends of the specimens shall be cut perpendicular tothe length and parallel to each other. They then shall besmoothed with emery cloth and,

10、 finally, with jewelers rouge.4.4 At least five specimens shall be tested.5. Procedure5.1 Mark the specimens for identification and measure themwith the micrometer or the dial indicator to the nearest 0.0001in. (0.003 mm). Apply a reference mark to the specimens fororientation in the measuring fixtu

11、re.5.2 Locate the specimens above the water in the autoclaveand subject them to 150-psi (1-MPa) steam pressure for 5 h.Maximum pressure shall be reached in not less than 45 min normore than 1 h.After the 5-h treatment, immediately release thesteam pressure by opening the blow-off valve.5.3 After rem

12、oval from the autoclave, dry the specimens toconstant weight at a temperature not exceeding 110C and coolthem to room temperature.5.4 Measure the dry specimens to the nearest 0.0001 in.(0.003 mm) on the micrometer or dial indicator. To minimizeerrors of measurement caused by the expansion of thespec

13、imen, the temperature of the specimen should be approxi-mately the same for initial and final measurements.6. Calculation6.1 Calculate the percent of moisture expansion, based onthe original length of the specimens, as follows:O 5 L/L1! 3100 (1)where:O = moisture expansion, percent;1This test method
