2、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.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers granular resins and test methods for polytetrafluoroet

3、hylene (PTFE) that have never beenpreformed or molded and are normally processed by methods similar to those used in powder metallurgy or ceramics, or by specialextrusion processes. These PTFE resins are homopolymers of tetrafluoroethylene, or, in some cases, modified homopolymerscontaining not more

4、 than one percent by weight of other fluoromonomers. The usual methods of processing thermoplasticsgenerally are not applicable to these materials because of their viscoelastic properties at processing temperatures. The materialsincluded herein do not include mixtures of PTFE resin with additives su

The test resin shall be near ambient temperature prior to molding(Note 5). WarningPTFE can evolve small quantities of gaseous products when heated above 204C (400F). So

Consequently, exhaust ventilation must be used whenever the resins are heated above this temperature, as they4 See the ASTM Form and Style Manual,for ASTM Standards manual available from ASTM Headquarters.TABLE 2 Detail Requirements for Tests on Molded SpecimensType Gra

Since the temperature of burning tobacco exceeds 204C(400F), those working with PTFE resins should ensure that tobacco is not contaminated.9.1.2 Screen 14.5 g (for tensile properties) or 7.25 g (for electrical properties discussed in Appen

Insert the die in a suitable hydraulic press and applypressure grad

42、ually (Note 3) until a total of 34.5 MPa (5000 psi) is attained. Hold this pressure for 3 min. Remove the diskidentification on the disk at this time.NOTE 3As a guide, increasing the pressure at a rate of 3.45 MPa (500 psi)/min is suggested until the desired maximum pressure is attained.9.1.3 Sinter

43、 the preforms in accordance with Table 3 (Note 4).9.1.3.1 Use Procedure B for Types I, II and IV and Procedure C for Type III.NOTE 4Although the rate of heating application is not critical, the cooling cycle is most important and the conditions cited in these procedures mustbe followed very closely.

44、 If they are not followed, the crystallinity of the disks and the resulting physical properties will be markedly changed. Therefore,the use of a programmed oven is recommended for the most precise sintering cycle control so that the hood window will be left down during the entiresintering procedure,

45、 the latter being an important safety consideration.9.2 Test Specimens for Standard Specific Gravity (SSG) and Extended Specific Gravity (ESG):9.2.1 A cylindrical preforming die, 28.6 mm (118 in.) internal diameter by at least 76.2 mm (3 in.) deep, is used to prepare thepreforms. End plug clearances

46、 shall be sufficient to ensure escape of air during pressing. The test resin shall be near ambienttemperature prior to molding (Note 5).NOTE 5For maximum precision, the weighing and preforming operations shall be carried out at 23 6 2C (73.4 6 3.6F) (the “near ambient”temperature referred to herein)

47、. These operations shall not be preformed at temperatures below 21C (70F) due to the crystalline transition that occursin PTFE in this temperature region which leads to possible cracks in sintered specimens and differences in specimen density (as well as changes in otherphysical properties). Problem

48、s caused by the effects of temperature on the specific gravity or density of PTFE will be minimized when the measurementis made using immersion procedures if a sensitive thermometer (for example, one reading 60.1C) is used in the liquid and the temperature is adjustedto be at least 22C.9.2.2 Weigh o

Break upcompacted resins by hand-shaking cold resin in a half-filled sealed glass container. Condition the resin in the sealed glass containerin a freezer or dry-ice chest. After breaking up resin lumps, allow the sealed container to equilibrate to near ambient temperature.Then screen and weigh the 12.0 6 0.1-g sample. Insert the die in a suitable hydraulic press and apply pressure gradually (Note3) u
