1、Designation: D 4894 07Standard Specification forPolytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Granular Molding and RamExtrusion Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4894; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision,

2、the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers granular resins and test meth-ods for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) that have

3、 never beenpreformed or molded and are normally processed by methodssimilar to those used in powder metallurgy or ceramics, or byspecial extrusion processes. These PTFE resins are homopoly-mers of tetrafluoroethylene, or, in some cases, modified ho-mopolymers containing not more than one percent by

4、weight ofother fluoromonomers. The usual methods of processing ther-moplastics generally are not applicable to these materialsbecause of their viscoelastic properties at processing tempera-tures. The materials included herein do not include mixtures ofPTFE resin with additives such as colorants, fil

5、lers or plasti-cizers; nor do they include reprocessed or reground resin or anyfabricated articles. The methods and properties included arethose required to identify the various types of resins. Addi-tional procedures are provided in the Appendix for furthercharacterization of the resins.1.2 The val

6、ues stated in SI units as detailed in IEEE/ASTMSI-10 are to be regarded as the standard, and the practices ofIEEE/ASTM SI-10 are incorporated herein.1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to theSpecimen Preparation section, Section 9, and the Test Methodssection, Section 10, of this sp

7、ecification: This specificationdoes not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any,associated with its use.

25、4.2 A line callout system is used to specify materials in thisstandard. The system uses predefined cells to refer to specificaspects of this specification, illustrated as follows:SpecificationStandard Number Block : Type : Grade : Class : Special notes: :Example: ASTMD489404III 2For this example, th

26、e line callout would be ASTMD 4894 04, III2, and would specify a granular polytetrafluo-roethylene that has all of the properties listed for that Type andGrade in the appropriate specified properties, Tables, or both,in this specification. In this case there is no Class item so thecell position for

27、class is left blank. A comma is used as theseparator between Standard Number and Type. Separators arenot needed between Type, Grade, and Class.4Provision forSpecial Notes is included so that other information will beprovided when required.An example would be in SpecificationD 3295 where dimensions a

28、nd tolerances are specified for eachAWG size within Type and Class. When Special Notes areused, they shall be preceded by a comma.4See the ASTM Form and Style Manual, available from ASTM Headquarters.TABLE 1 Detail Requirements for Tests on ResinsAType Grade Bulk Density, g/LParticle Size, Average D

Table 1 lists tests to be carriedout on resins. Table 2 lists test

31、s requiring specimens molded asdescribed in Section 9.6. Other Requirements6.1 The resin shall be uniform and shall contain no additivesor foreign material.6.2 The color of the material as shipped by the seller shallbe white.7. Sampling7.1 Sampling shall be statistically adequate to satisfy therequi

32、rements of 11.48. Number of Tests8.1 Lot inspection shall include tests for bulk density,particle size and standard specific gravity. Periodic tests shallconsist of all the tests specified in Tables 1 and 2 and shall bemade at least one per year.8.2 The tests listed in Tables 1 and 2, as they apply,

33、 aresufficient to establish conformity of a material to this specifi-cation. One set of tests specimens as prescribed in Section 7shall be considered sufficient for testing each sample. Theaverage of the results for the specimens tested shall conform tothe requirements of this specification.9. Speci

34、men Preparation9.1 Test Disks:9.1.1 Use the die shown in Fig. 1 for the molding of testdisks. The test resin shall be near ambient temperature prior tomolding (Note 5). WarningPTFE can evolve small quanti-ties of gaseous products when heated above 204C 400F.Some of these gases are harmful. Consequen

35、tly, exhaustventilation must be used whenever the resins are heated abovethis temperature, as they are during the sintering operationsthat are a part of this specification. Since the temperature ofburning tobacco exceeds 204C 400F, those working withPTFE resins should ensure that tobacco is not cont

36、aminated.9.1.2 Screen 14.5 g (for tensile properties) or 7.25 g (forelectrical properties discussed in Appendix X1.7) of PTFEresin through a No. 10 hand sieve into the die.Adjust the lowerplug height to allow the resin in the die can be leveled bydrawing a straightedge in contact with the top of the

37、 die acrossthe top of the die cavity. Insert the die in a suitable hydraulicpress and apply pressure gradually (Note 3) until a total of 34.5MPa 5000 psi is attained. Hold this pressure for 3 min.Remove the disk identification on the disk at this time.NOTE 3As a guide, increasing the pressure at a r

38、ate of 3.45 MPa 500psi/min is suggested until the desired maximum pressure is attained.9.1.3 Sinter the preforms in accordance with Table 3 (Note4).9.1.3.1 Use Procedure B for Types I, II and IV and Proce-dure C for Type III.NOTE 4Although the rate of heating application is not critical, thecooling

39、cycle is most important and the conditions cited in theseprocedures must be followed very closely. If they are not followed, thecrystallinity of the disks and the resulting physical properties will bemarkedly changed. Therefore, the use of a programmed oven is recom-mended for the most precise sinte

40、ring cycle control so that the hoodwindow will be left down during the entire sintering procedure, the latterbeing an important safety consideration.9.2 Test Specimens for Standard Specific Gravity (SSG) andExtended Specific Gravity (ESG):9.2.1 A cylindrical preforming die, 28.6 mm 118 in.internal d

41、iameter by at least 76.2 mm 3 in. deep, is used toprepare the preforms. End plug clearances shall be sufficient toensure escape of air during pressing.The test resin shall be nearambient temperature prior to molding (Note 5).NOTE 5For maximum precision, the weighing and preforming opera-tions shall

42、be carried out at 23 6 2C 73.4 6 3.6F (the “near ambient”temperature referred to herein). These operations shall not be preformed attemperatures below 21C 70F due to the crystalline transition thatoccurs in PTFE in this temperature region which leads to possible cracksin sintered specimens and diffe

43、rences in specimen density (as well aschanges in other physical properties). Problems caused by the effects oftemperature on the specific gravity or density of PTFE will be minimizedwhen the measurement is made using immersion procedures if a sensitivethermometer (for example, one reading 60.1C) is

44、used in the liquid andthe temperature is adjusted to be at least 22C.9.2.2 Weigh out 12.0 6 0.1 g of resin and place it in the die.Screen non-free-flowing resins through a No. 10 sieve. Breakup compacted resins by hand-shaking cold resin in a half-filledsealed glass container. Condition the resin in

45、 the sealed glasscontainer in a freezer or dry-ice chest. After breaking up resinlumps, allow the sealed container to equilibrate to near ambientTABLE 2 Detail Requirements for Tests on Molded SpecimensType Grade Thermal Instability Index, maxStandard Specific Gravity Tensile Strength minElongation
