2、sion, 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. Scope1.1 This practice covers a means to separate the unmoltenparticles, gels, and impurities contaminating

3、a polymer sample.The procedure may be used to remove gels and incompatiblematerials that may cause imperfections in the final extrudedproduct. Under pressure, most gels will break up or deform andpass through a wire mesh filter, however high molecular weightgels may not break up or deform.1.2 If des

4、ired, materials isolated on a wire mesh filter cansubsequently be identified by spectroscopic or other analyticalmeans.NOTE 1Although not presented as a quantitative method, the proce-dure presented in this practice may be used to provide quantitative resultsat the discretion of the user. The user a

5、ssumes the responsibility to verifythe reproducibility of quantitative results. Detection limit depends on themesh size of the filter screen, but the procedure is generally applicable tothe separation of immiscible contaminants present at concentrationsgreater than 0.1 %.1.3 The values stated in SI

6、units are to be regarded as thestandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address the safetyconcerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety andhealth practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations

Terminology3.1 The terminology used in this practice is in accordancewith Terminology D 1600 and Guide D 5033. Units andsymbols

9、 are in accordance with Practice E 380.4. Summary of Practice4.1 As polymer passes through a wire mesh filter of knownarea and porosity (for example, 0.00032 m20.049 in.2ofa325 mesh screen) positioned in line at the end of an extruderbarrel, the filter becomes blocked by impurities and gels. Thispro

10、cedure is used to remove gels and contaminants that mayresult in undesirable imperfections in the extruded product.This blockage results in a proportional rise in the pressurebehind the filter. Although this Practice is not designed toprovide any quantitative estimate of the level of contamination,t

11、he rate of this pressure rise may be correlated to the level ofcontamination through appropriate experiments.5. Significance and Use5.1 Presence of paper, metal, gels, incompatible polymer, orother extraneous contamination in polymers, including re-cycled polymers, may cause problems with extrusion

12、andsubsequent processing of the material. This procedure is usefulfor separating gross contaminants from polymers. For example,the procedure is useful for determining the quality of resins tobe used in fiber applications. If desired, the isolated contami-nants may be subsequently identified by the a

13、ppropriate visualor instrumental procedures.6. Apparatus6.1 Extruder, designed to deliver a continuous supply ofmolten resin to a filter at a uniform rate with good temperaturecontrol. An extruder with 25 to 64-mm barrel has been foundto be useful.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM

Materials7.1 Virgin Polymer, free of gels and contaminants, forpurging the extruder equipment.8. Hazards8.1 Hot polymer can cause serious burns. Do not stand

20、infront of the extruder because air bubbles, excessive tempera-ture or pressure can cause hot polymer to be expelled from theextruder die.8.2 Always wear thermally insulated gloves when handlinghot polymer or working directly with the heated areas of theextruder.9. Procedure9.1 Turn on the power to

21、the extruder and turn on the feedthroat cooling water.9.2 Set extruder temperature controllers to maintain thebarrel at the appropriate temperature for the polymer (see Table1).9.3 Wait at least 30 min after achieving melt temperaturebefore starting the extruder.9.4 Insert a new screen pack using 60

Start the chartrecorder.9.11 Once the pressure has stabilized for at least 5 min andthe system is at the correct temperature, cut off the extrudate atthe strip die and begin collection. Record the filter pressure (Pi)to the nearest 0.2 Mpa. If the pressure contin

31、ues to rise, but notstabilize, stop the extruder before attaining the maximum safeoperating pressure for the equipment. Note and report the rateof pressure rise.9.12 Continue extruding the polymer monitoring the filterpressure for 20 to 30 min or until 14 kg of polymer has beenextruded. Record the f

32、ilter pressure at the end of the collectioncycle (Pf) to the nearest 0.2 MPa.NOTE 7After the filters are installed, carefully watch the filter backpressure as the extrusion is restarted. If a rapid pressure rise occurs, stopthe extrusion before exceeding the maximum safe operating pressure forthe eq

34、 polyolefinflake), always purge the system with stabilized pellets before shuttingdown the extruder. Always return extruder drive to minimum rpm beforeshutting down the extruder. To prevent excessive degradation of polymerleft in the extruder, turn down the temperatures or turn off all heatersdepend
