34、allycleaned steel, copper, and aluminum test plates between piecesof insulation. Hold the insulation uniformly against each sideof the test plate with wire screens and rubber bands.12.7.2.2 Sandwich an equal number of cleaned metal testplates between pieces of washed sterile cotton in an identicalma

35、nner.12.7.2.3 Vertically suspend the samples in a humidity testchamber at 95 6 3 % relative humidity and temperature of 1206 3F (49 6 2C) for time periods determined by the type ofmetal being tested. Steel is tested for 96 6 2 h. Copper andaluminum are tested for 720 6 5h.12.7.2.4 After the appropri

36、ate test period, compare the testplates exposed to the insulation to the control plates exposed tosterile cotton for severity of corrosion. The insulation isconsidered to have passed this test if the corrosion attributed tothe insulation is not significantly worse than that of the washedsterile cott

37、on controls. The criterion for acceptance is prede-termined through the use of non-parametric statistics and a90 % confidence level (a = 0.10).12.7.3 Significance and Use:12.7.3.1 The fiber composition and the type of binder usedin the manufacture of mineral fiber insulation sometimes createa potent

42、ior dimensions of 412 by 112 by112 in. (114 by 38 by 38 mm) with one 412 by 112 in. (114 by38 mm) opening.12.7.5 Test SpecimenA test specimen shall consist of alayer of loose-fill insulation held in place on each side of themetal test plate by a cheesecloth wrap. The loose-fill insulationis compress

43、ed uniformly against each side of the metal testplate using woven wire screening and a No. 12 rubber band ateach end so that there is approximately a 412 by 112 by12-in.(114- by 38- by 13-mm) thick layer of insulation on each sideof the metal test plate.12.7.6 Test Method:12.7.6.1 Clean the metal te

44、st plates until the surface is freeof water breaks. Clean the steel test plates first by 5 min ofvapor degreasing (using 1-1-1 trichlorethane or chloroprene).After degreasing, wipe residue from both sides of the couponsusing paper laboratory wipes. Then immerse for 15 min in a hotcaustic solution (1

45、5 % KOH by volume), rinse thoroughly indistilled water, and immediately dry using paper laboratorywipes. Degrease the copper plates in the same manner and thenfurther clean in a hot acidic solution (10 % nitric acid byvolume) for 15 min. Rinse the copper plates and dry immedi-ately using paper labor

46、atory wipes. Clean the aluminum plateswith a 5 % solution all-purpose laboratory detergent and water,then rinse in distilled water and dry with laboratory wipes.Care shall be taken to avoid excessive handling of the surfacesof the metal plates. They shall not be touched after the finalC 764 06a3clea

47、ning step. Plastic surgical gloves or their equivalent arerecommended for handling of plates. Also clean the wirescreens before use in the same manner as the aluminum plates(that is, wash in detergent, rinse in distilled water, and dry).12.7.6.2 Build up the five test specimens as follows: placeone

48、woven wire screen in the compartment bottom, center anddrop the cheesecloth over the compartment. Place a quantity ofloose-fill insulation into the compartment and tamp the insu-lation to form a uniform pack 412 by 112 by12 in. (114 by 38by 13 mm) thick. Place a metal test plate over the insulation,

49、adding more insulation over the metal test plate and tamp toachieve a uniform top layer 412 by 112 by12 in. (114 by 38 by13 mm) thick. Fold the cheesecloth around this configuration.Place a woven wire screen on top of the assembly and securethe assembly at each end with a No. 12 rubber band.12.7.6.3 Make five test specimens, each one consisting ofone piece of metal placed between two pieces of insulation.Compress this assembly between two pieces of woven wirescreen and secured near each end with a No. 12 rubber
