1、Designation: D 3639 92 (Reapproved 2006)1Standard Test Method forClassification of Asbestos by Quebec Standard Test1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3639; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the yea

2、r 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.1NOTESection 2 was corrected editorially in August 2009.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a procedure for dry classifica-ti

3、on of chrysotile asbestos fiber by length distribution.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The equivalent SI units may be approximate.1.3 WarningBreathing of asbestos dust is hazardous.Asbestos and asbestos products present demonstrated healthrisks for users

4、and for those with whom they come into contact.In addition to other precautions, when working with asbestos-cement products, minimize the dust that results. For informa-tion on the safe use of chrysoltile asbestos, refer to “Safe Useof Chrysotile Asbestos: A Manual on Preventive and ControlMeasures.

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. See 1.3 for

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 Refer to Terminology D 2946 and the TerminologySection of Test Method D 2590.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A 454-g (16-oz) sample is sifted through three progres-

9、sively finer screens, and the mass fraction retained by each isdetermined, and reported in ounces (1 oz = 28.35 g).5. Significance and Use5.1 The Quebec Standard Testing Machine classifies milledchrysotile asbestos grades according to the mass fractionsretained on each screen. Specimens that are not

10、 properlyconditioned prior to testing or that have excessive moisturecontent (above 3 % in accordance with Method D 2987), orboth, may give erratic and false results.5.2 Some amphibole asbestos fibers may be classified bythis test method but a standard classification for these has notbeen establishe

Procedure11.1 Place the screen boxes and the pan on the machine,ensuring that they are lined up true to the platform and that theends of the boxes face the same way each time they a

19、re used.11.2 Spread the specimen in Box No. 1 of the testingmachine along its longest axis, by letting it fall loosely fromthe scoop. Hold the scoop 150 to 250 mm (6 to 10 in.) abovethe screen cloth. Take care that when the cover of the testingmachine is closed, the fiber shall not be compressed.11.
