1、Designation: D 351 97 (Reapproved 2008)e1An American National StandardStandard Classification forNatural Muscovite Block Mica and Thins Based on VisualQuality1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 351; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal ado

2、ption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.e1

3、NOTEThe units statement in subsection 1.8 was corrected editorially in July 2008.1. Scope1.1 This classification covers the determination of commer-cially available natural muscovite block mica and is intended tobe independent of the basic color of the mica or its source.1.2 Muscovite mica is charac

4、terized by having an opticalaxial angle between 50 and 75 (see Appendix X1); and has aweight loss when heated for 5 min at 600C not exceeding0.2 % (based on the weight after drying at 120C).1.3 The visual system of classifying the quality of naturalmuscovite mica covered by this specification is bas

5、ed uponrelative amounts of visible foreign inclusions such as airbubbles, stains, and spots in combination with relative amountsand types of waviness, as well as other physical properties. Inthis system, a perfectly clear, transparent, flat specimen of micais the visual standard of perfection. Incre

6、asing amounts ofvisual defects lower the visual quality, and a total of 13 levelsof visual quality are covered by this standard. This method ofclassification, generally known as the Bengal India System, ispurely qualitative and is entirely dependent on personal opin-ion and judgment.1.4 The standard

7、s for visual quality classification that arecovered in this classification are the best commercially avail-able concept of the various qualities and their relative posi-tions. Variations in the methods of using and applying thesestandards from those herein defined may be specified by thepurchaser, o

8、r defined by agreement between the supplier andthe purchaser.1.5 Standard size classifications are defined, based uponavailable usable rectangular areas and the minimum dimen-sions of the rectangles that the pieces will yield. Precautions tobe taken in making thickness measurements are also describe

9、d.1.6 This standard covers the following two definite forms ofcommercial preparation:1.6.1 Form 1Full-trimmed natural block mica, 0.007 in.(0.178 mm) minimum thickness.1.6.2 Form 2Partially-trimmed natural block mica, 0.007in. minimum thickness.1.7 The basic color of mica, such as white, ruby, light

10、 green,dark green, brownish green, and rum, as well as other colors,and the method of controlling the color and other problemsassociated with the basic color, are not a part of this classifi-cation.1.8 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parenthes

11、es are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.9 Section 5 is technically identical to procedures specifiedin ISO 67-1981.1.10 Section 6 differs somewhat in procedure fromISO 5972-1978, but data obtained by either should be identica

12、l.1.11 Section 7 is technically identical to procedures speci-fied in ISO 2185-1972.2.

Sign

23、ificance and Use4.1 The properties included in this standard are thoserequired to control the visual quality, usable area, thickness,hardness, and stiffness.5. Grading for Size5.1 Full-TrimmedAll full-trimmed mica blocks and thinsshall be fully trimmed to remove all cracks, holes, reeves, andcross-g

24、rains according to the quality desired.As far as possible,all marginal cracks should be removed by recutting. Theaverage area of the pieces for Grade 4 and larger shall be notmore than 1.54 times the average area of the largest usablerectangles. This would constitute a minimum yield of 65 %.For Grad

25、es 5 and smaller, the average area of the pieces shallbe not more than two times the average area of the largestusable rectangles. This would constitute a yield of 50 %.5.2 Half-TrimmedFor half-trimmed mica, follow thegrading described in 5.1 for trimmed sides with no cracksextending from the trimme

26、d sides, except for sizes 6 and 512 onwhich only side must be trimmed free of cracks. On theuntrimmed sides, no defects of the designated quality areacceptable within the minimum rectangle of the designatedgrade.5.3 Natural Block and ThinsNatural block and thins,muscovite mica shall be graded for si

27、ze according to the areaof the rectangle (maximum rectangle for full-trimmed, maxi-mum rectangle of designated quality for half-trimmed) havingat least the minimum dimension of one side for the specifiedgrade. The area within such a rectangle shall meet therequirements of the quality specified by th

28、e purchaser as listedin Table 1.5.4 Method of Grading for SizeThe Standard ASTMChart shown in Fig. 1 shall be used for grading natural blockand thins, muscovite mica according to size. In grading naturalblock mica and thins for size, all dimensions apply to thesmaller surface measured from the foot

29、of the bevel-trimmededge. The specimen to be graded shall be laid upon the chart sothat it covers point O and has its maximum and minimumdimensions extending along and covering lines OA and OB,respectively. The specimen shall be shifted until the usable areacompletely covers the largest rectangle, d

30、etermined by adiagonal extending from point O to or beyond a point on anyof the curves. The number of the curve at the greatest distancefrom O cut by the diagonal of the rectangle designates thegrade of the specimen.6. Thickness of Block Mica6.1 Measure the thickness with a micrometer as specified i

31、nTest Methods D 374. In determining thickness of mica thatmust be kept within small permissible variations, or where twoor more specimens are to be measured at once, use Method Aof Test Methods D 374. Where the maximum accuracy is notrequired, Method B may be used.6.2 Because of the abrasive nature

32、of mica, test the mi-crometer frequently for conformity to the requirements speci-fied in Test Methods D 374.

34、 accumulation of micadust on the surfaces and to preserve the accuracy of themeasurements. To clean, close the micrometer lightly on aclean sheet of bond paper and move the paper between thesurfaces.6.3 Be careful, when moving from one measurement loca-tion to another, to maintain the surfaces of th

35、e anvil and spindleparallel to the surfaces of the specimen at all times, so as toavoid scratching the mica and accumulating mica dust underthe micrometer surfaces, thereby causing false readings.7.
