Apparatus5.1 Heating PlateThe heating plate shall consist of acorrosion-resistant and heat-resistant plate with a preferredexposed test area of 36 by 18 in. (914 by 457 mm), but havinga minimum tes

11、t area of 18 by 18 in. (457 by 457 mm). Theheated area shall have an insulated, heated guard area having aminimum width of 3 in. (76 mm) around the entire periphery ofthe test area. The plate shall be supported in a horizontal planeat a sufficient number of points to prevent sagging. It shall beheat

12、ed on the under side by gas or electricity. The surfacetemperature of the plate shall be measured by not less than fivethermocouples. Four of the thermocouples shall be locatedalong the diagonals that extend from the corners of the exposedarea of the plate and at a distance of 6 in. (152 mm) in from

13、each corner. A fifth thermocouple shall be located near thecenter of the test plate area. The temperature at no point ofmeasurement shall vary more than 65%or625F (614C),whichever is less, from the desired temperature. A heatingchamber beneath the heating plate shall be formed to retain theheat gene

Supplementary end heaters, and a guard section atleast 3 in. long of the same insulation as that being placed onthe test section, shall also be provided to guard againstexcessive losses from the ends of the test

19、 specimen. (Wherepossible, the use of standard thermal conductivity pipe testapparatus to serve as the heating pipe is recommended.) Thesurface temperature of the pipe shall be measured by means ofthermocouples, not less than one for each 1 ft (0.3 m) of lengthof the test specimen, and located spira

20、lly around the pipe at 90intervals. The test portion of the pipe shall be that area undera full length of a pipe insulation undergoing test. The tempera-ture at any point of measurement on the test portion shall notvary more than 65%or625F (614C), whichever is less,from the desired temperature.5.3 T

21、emperature MeasurementThermocouples shall beused to measure the surface temperature of the heating plateand the heating pipe. They shall be applied either by peeningthe individual wires into small holes drilled into the surface andseparated by not more than18 in. (3 mm) or by joining thewires with a

22、 welded bead and cementing them in grooves withthe bead tangent to the surface but not projecting above it. Thethermocouples shall be made from wires having a size notgreater than No. 22 Awg (0.644 mm), and preferably not largerthan No. 26 Awg (0.405 mm). The combination of thethermocouple and measu

23、ring instrument used shall ensure anaccuracy of temperature measurement of 61%.NOTE 1This requires different thermocouples and measuring instru-ments for high-temperature tests than for moderate-temperature tests.5.4 Straightedge and RuleA straightedge having a lengthof at least 36 in.

Anydiameter pipe insulation for which equipment is available ispotentially tested. However, only pipe insulation of 3-in.(76-mm) nominal inside diameter need to be tested.7. P

27、rocedure7.1 Use the heating plate for testing the flat or block form ofinsulation. Use the heating pipe for pipe insulation. Thethickness of the layers in multilayer insulation and the totalthickness of insulation applied to the hot surface for a test shallbe that recommended by the manufacturer for

28、 the temperatureof the hot surface in question, or as agreed between themanufacturer and the purchaser. When multi-layer applicationsare to be tested, stagger each joint between adjacent test piecesin the same layer with respect to the joint in the next layer.Equally dispose about that joint the tes

29、t piece in the next layerthat covers a joint of the preceding layer.7.2 Assembly of Specimen on Heating PlateSpecimensfor testing on a heating plate shall be 6 by 18 in. (152 by 457mm) with the thickness as described in 7.1. Check each blockfor flatness and measure and record any initial warpage. Co

30、verthe test area of the heating plate with the test blocks. If anyblocks have initial warpage, place the concave face toward thehot side. Apply additional layers to the first layers whennecessary to give the total required thickness.7.3 Assembly of Specimen on Heating PipeApply a fulllength of pipe

31、insulation to the test pipe. If the test pipe islonger than the specimen, the latter can advantageously becentered on the pipe and the ends covered with sawed lengthsof the insulation being tested so as to help guard the full lengthspecimen from end losses.

Three bands shallbe used. Band positions shall be at 3, 18, and 33 in. (76, 457,and 838 mm) from the end of

34、 the 36 in. (914 mm) longspecimen.7.3.2 When the sag measurement is required by the materialspecification, measure the starting thickness using a pin gage,as described by Test MethodC167. The pin gage shall bevertically inserted through the top longitudinal center of theinsulation to obtain tip cont

35、act with the pipe surface. The pingage shall be read with a steel rule to the nearest132 in. (1 mm).Using the center band 18 in. (457 mm) as a reference point,measure the starting thickness at 2, 5, and 10 in. (51, 127, 254mm) from center band in both directions.7.4 Use the appropriate heat-up proce

36、dure as specified in thematerial standard. If a heat-up procedure is not specified in thematerial standard, the heat-up procedure in 7.4.1 shall be used.7.4.1 Start the test with the heating surface at room tem-perature. The average temperature rise shall not exceed300F/hr (167C/hr) as described in

37、Test Method C356.7.4.2 For materials that require a heat-up schedule, start thetest with the heating surface at room temperature. Follow thetime-temperature recommendations of the manufacturer forheat-up.7.4.3 For materials that require the test to begin on apreheated test apparatus (slap-on), use a

38、 sacrificial piece of thetest material to bring the test equipment to the target tempera-ture. Once the target temperature has been reached, remove andrapidly replace the sacrificial piece with the test specimen tobegin test.7.5 During the heating period, make qualitative observa-tions to detect vis

39、ible evidence of flaming, glowing, smolder-ing, and smoking. After the hot surface has reached the desiredtest temperature, begin a period of exposure of 96 h. At thecompletion of the test period, turn off the source of heat andallow the assembly to cool to about room temperature beforeany specimens

40、 are removed.NOTE 2Ambient conditions on the exposed surface of the testinsulation shall be at room temperature.7.6 After test and prior to removal, examine the specimensvery carefully to detect any tendency toward cracking. Note thenumber of cracks and the extent or depth of cracking.Also noteany t

41、endency toward delamination. Record other discerniblechanges, such as any evidence of melting, flaming, glowing,smoldering, or smoking that can be observed by visual inspec-tion.7.6.1 WarpageMeasure the block or pipe specimens forwarpage by placing a straightedge along the length of the blockor pipe

42、 and measuring the maximum warpage at the center ofthe specimen with a steel rule.7.6.2 SagThe sag measurement portion of C411 is re-quired only when specifically mentioned by a material stan-dard. When the sag measurement is specifically required by thematerial specification, the thickness shall be

43、 measured beforethe beginning of the C411 hot surface testing and before thespecimens are removed at the end of the C411 hot surfacetesting. Measure final thickness of pipe insulation using a pingage, as described by test method C167. The pin gage shall bevertically inserted through the top longitud

44、inal center of theinsulation to obtain tip contact with the pipe surface. The pingage shall be read with a steel rule to the nearest132 in. (1 mm).Using the center band 18 in. (457 mm) as a reference point,measure the final thickness at 2, 5, and 10 in. from center bandin both directions8. Calculati
