Significance and Use3.1 Low temperatures are often needed for conditioning ofrubber prior to testing,

9、as well as during the test. Conditioningis required to attain a specific temperature that is uniformthroughout the specimen or for producing time-dependenteffects. Specimens may be conditioned and tested in the sameor different chambers.3.2 This practice is intended to apply particularly, but notexc

10、lusively, to the following ASTM Standards: Test MethodsD746, D945, D1053, D1229, D1329, D1415, D2136, D2137,D2240, D2632, Practice D832, and Specification E197.4. General Equipment Requirements44.1 The low-temperature cabinet may be refrigeratedmechanically, or by dry ice or liquid nitrogen, either

11、directly orindirectly.4.1.1 The heat-transfer medium in the test chamber shouldbe air or air mixed with carbon dioxide or nitrogen, unless aliquid medium is specified. Although liquids cool the speci-mens faster than gases, they are more likely to cause propertychanges in addition to those caused by

12、 temperature change.Water, ethyl alcohol, and ethylene glycol are usually acceptablefor immersion times that are kept to the minimum for therequired tests.1This practice is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D11 on Rubber andis the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D11.14 on Time and Temper

United States14.1.2 The temperature variation within 250 mm of the testspecimen shall be within 61C of the specified testing tem-perature.4.1.3 The heat-transfer medium should be circulated thor-oughly in the te

16、st chamber by means of mechanical agitation.Afan or stirrer suitably located in the test chamber can be usedfor this purpose.4.1.4 Automatic temperature control should be used.4.2 The size of the test chamber is optional.4.3 The door can be located either in the top of the testcabinet or in the side

17、. A side-opening door is convenient, andis necessary where the equipment involved must be operatedfrom the side. However, it has the disadvantage of allowing thecold air to pour out when the door is opened. In general, awindow in the door is desired for observation and the readingof test equipment i

18、ndicators. This window should have at leastfive sealed layers of glass, suitably spaced, with dehydrated airbetween the layers to prevent condensation or frosting.4.3.1 Return to the test temperature after the introduction ofspecimens or test apparatus should be as rapid as possibleconsistent with m

19、inimal overshoot, but should not exceed 15min. Particular care is required for gaseous media.4.3.2 When the measuring device cannot be located logi-cally within the low-temperature chamber, it should have anextension rod of low thermal conductivity that extends throughthe insulated wall and contacts

20、 the specimen. An example isgiven in Test Methods D1053.4.4 Chambers used for conditioning of specimens prior tothe test should provide adequate circulation on all sides of thespecimens. Suitable supports include racks, metal clips, andwide-mesh wirescreen frames with at least 25 mm between thescree

21、n and the cabinet floor. For chambers that are in continu-ous use, chamber walls having a maximum heat transmissionfactor of 35 mW/mK (0.24 Btuin./hft2F) are desirable. Forthe operation of the equipment involved in Test MethodsD2240 and D2632, handholes equipped with gloves andinsulated sleeves shou

22、ld be installed in the walls of the testcabinet. The interior walls surrounding the chamber should bemade of a good thermal conductor to promote uniform tem-perature and minimum radiant effects. Any heating elementswithin a gaseous medium chamber should be shielded from thespecimen since they could

23、have radiant effects.4.5 A millivolt-type indicating potentiometer with an elec-tronic control mechanism has been found suitable for measur-ing the temperature and controlling the relay that opens andcloses the coolant valve. Copper-constantan thermocouple wireof 30 gauge (0.255 mm) has been found t

24、o be most satisfactory.Such instrumentation is desirable when extremely accuratetemperature measurement and control are required.5. Mechanically Refrigerated Units5.1 In general, the mechanically refrigerated low-temperature cabinets consist of multiple-stage compressor andsuitable cooling coils tha

25、t surround the test chamber. Suitableinsulation is provided between the test chamber and the outsidewalls of the cabinet.Automatic temperature control is obtainedby either a thermostatic control located in the test chamber,which turns the compressor on or off, or by a suitable pressurecontrol, which

26、 regulates the refrigerant temperature.Air is usedas the heat-transfer medium in the test specimen compartment.5.2 Mechanically refrigerated equipment is well-adapted tocontinuous operation at a fixed temperature. Except for ratherhigh maintenance and initial costs, this type of equipment isless exp

27、ensive to operate continuously from a power standpointthan are the dry ice units. Another advantage of mechanicalrefrigeration is the lower temperatures available. By theinstallation of electric strip heaters and suitable automaticcontrols, temperatures up to room temperature and above canbe obtaine

28、d. Heaters should be shielded from test specimens toavoid radiant effects.6. Dry Ice Units (Direct-Type)6.1 In the direct type of dry ice low-temperature cabinets, asuitable fan or blower located in the dry ice compartmentcirculates the carbon dioxide vapor from the dry ice chamberinto the test spec

29、imen chamber and back. By means of a presetdamper between the dry ice compartment and the test chamber,the inlet and outlet openings can be adjusted for maximumefficiency. A bimetallic thermoregulator, located in the testcompartment, controls the “on” and “off” operation of the fanin the dry ice com

30、partment, thus providing automatic tempera-ture control. To ensure uniformity of temperature in the testcompartment, a fan is provided. More accurate temperaturecontrol can be obtained by the addition of thermostaticallycontrolled heaters inside the test chamber, making sure thatthey are shielded fr

31、om the test specimens.6.2 Commercial direct dry ice units are available in either0.028 or 0.227-m3(1 or 8-ft3) capacities and provide atemperature range from 73 to +104C (99 to +219F). Theseunits are particularly adapted for intermittent use where a widerange of testing temperatures is desired. Only

32、 a short time isrequired to cool the test chamber to a low temperature.7. Dry Ice Units (Indirect-Type)7.1 In the indirect type of dry ice low-temperature cabinets,air is used as the heat-transfer medium and no carbon dioxidefrom the dry ice comes in contact with the test specimens. Thetest chamber

33、is cooled by circulating the carbon dioxide vaporcompletely around the outside of the test chamber which, inturn, is insulated from the outside of the cold box. In general,this type is a more costly construction than the direct type andis not quite as efficient. The time required to cool the testcha

34、mber to a low temperature is somewhat greater and is morecomparable in this respect to the mechanically refrigeratedunits.7.2 Commercial indirect dry ice units are available in eithera 1 or 8-ft3test chamber capacity. These units operate over atemperature range from 68 to +104C (90 to +219F). Twofan

35、s are provided, one for circulating the carbon dioxidearound the outside of the test chamber and the other forcirculating the air heat-transfer medium inside the test cham-ber. An automatic switch on the door shuts down the latter fanwhen the door is opened, thus tending to prevent frosting.D3847 01

36、 (2012)28. Packaged Air Units8.1 Temperature-regulated air or carbon dioxide may becirculated through insulated pipes or ducts from a separate unitto the test chamber. This unit may be portable so that it isusable with various test chambers.8.2 The temperature may be controlled by a thermoswitchthat

37、 operates either the fan motor or a damper that recirculatespart or all of the cold gas so that it bypasses the test chamber.Motor- or solenoid-driven dampers that operate in the dry icecompartment for temperature control may cause trouble due tofrosting the mechanism. No entirely satisfactory metho

38、d hasyet been devised for removing sufficient moisture from theheat-transfer medium to eliminate frosting completely.Desiccants, such as calcium chloride and calcium sulfate, havebeen used.9. Non-Recirculating Gas9.1 Liquid nitrogen or liquid carbon dioxide may be intro-duced into the test chamber i

39、n amounts sufficient to maintainthe desired low temperature.Any concentrated flow of cold gasdirectly onto the specimen should be avoided. This method isparticularly desirable when very low humidity is required.10. Keywords10.1 brittleness point; low temperature; subnormal test tem-perature ; temper
