24、Methods D6546, the latter shall take precedence.6. Test Conditions6.1 TemperatureThe test temperature shall be the maximum sustained temperature anticipated in service.6.2 Immersion PeriodsThe following immersion periods are recommended: 24 h, 72 h, 100 h, 250 h, 500 h, and 1000 h. Thefinal immersio

25、n period will depend upon the results of the previous immersion period. If the changes in the physical propertieshave deteriorated beyond the suggested limits, then further testing is not required. The tolerance for any immersion period shallbe 61 % of the immersion period.7. Test Fluids7.1 For reli

26、able compatibility assessments, it is desirable to use the fluid with which the elastomer will come in contact in actualservice. For comparative tests, samples of fluid from the same drum or shipment shall be used.TABLE 1 Property Change LimitsTime, h MaximumVolumeSwell,%MaximumVolumeShrinkage,%Hard

Test Specimen8.1 The t

28、est specimens shall be O-rings molded from the same compound batch from which the actual seals will be molded.The test samples should approximate the cross section of the actual seal to be used so that the fluid saturation effect is properlyconsidered. The test samples should be either -021, -120, -

29、214, or -320 O-rings, in accordance with AS568A. These have anapproximate inside diameter of 25.4 mm (1 in.) 25.4 mm (1 in.) and represent the most popular cross sections of seals used inindustrial systems. The actual dimensions of each O-ring size are listed in Annex A2.8.2 Test specimens shall be

30、wiped clean of external contaminants prior to testing by using a clean dry wipe.9. Suggested Compatibility Test Limits9.1 For a critical seal application, property change limits, as described in Table 1, should be observed.9.2 All values are in reference to soak time in the operational fluid at the

31、operating temperature of the application. Values reflectchanges from the determined pre-immersion original physical property values of the test specimens.9.3 If the changes are within these limits, the elastomer should be considered compatible. Once a seal material is found to becompatible, all seal

32、s for that system should be ordered by specific compound or specification and not by Classification D2000 callout number or generic polymer designation.10. Procedure for Change in Volume10.1 Apparatus:10.1.1 Test Container, a Mason jar (quart size) fitted with a lid to prevent liquid and vapor from

33、escaping. The lid shall notcontaminate the test liquid. Cover the lid with aluminum foil.10.1.2 Heating Device, a forced air oven, aluminum block heater, or oil bath heater. Maintain the temperature within 61C(1.8F).61 C (1.8 F).10.1.3 Test SpecimenThe test specimen shall consist of an entire O-ring

34、. The same specimen may be used for all tests withhardness and volume determinations made prior to stress-strain tests. Place the test specimen in the test liquid so that it is notdistorted or in contact with the sides of the test container or with the other test specimens. Test a minimum of three t

35、est specimensat one time. It is also important that only O-rings of one size and one material compound be placed in the test container.10.1.4 Analytical Balance, an analytical balance capable of allowing a test specimen to be weighed whether in air or whilesubmerged in water.10.2 Volume ChangeTest t

36、hree specimens.10.2.1 Weigh each test specimen in air, M1, to the nearest 1 mg, 1 mg, and then weigh each specimen immersed in water, M2,at room temperature. It is important that all air bubbles clinging to the test specimen be removed before reading the weight in water.Blot the specimen dry.10.2.2

37、Suspend the specimens in the glass jar by the use of corrosion-resistant wire. Separate the specimens by bending smallloops in the wire or by locating them in different locations so that they do not contact each other.10.2.3 Suspend the specimen vertically so that 25.4 mm (1 in.) 25.4 mm (1 in.) of

38、test fluid is between the lower extremity ofthe specimen and the bottom of the apparatus. Add enough test fluid to cover the specimen to a depth of 25.4 mm (1 in.) 25.4 mm(1 in.) over the upper extremity of the specimen.10.2.4 Place the test apparatus in the heating device adjusted to maintain the s

39、ample at the test temperature for the requiredlength of time. At the end of the required immersion period, remove the specimen from the apparatus. Cool the specimen to roomtemperature by immersing it in a cool, fresh amount of the test fluid for 45 min.10.2.5 At the end of the cooling period, remove

40、 the specimen from the fluid, wipe with a cloth dipped in acetone, and blot dry.Weigh each test specimen in air, M3, and then weigh each specimen immersed in water, M4.10.2.6 Some oils can be very viscous and may be difficult to remove with an acetone wipe. Since these oils do not readilyvolatize, s

41、pecimens exposed to these oils can be cooled by suspending them for 45 min 45 min in air at room temperature shieldedfrom draft. This will allow the majority of the oil to drip off the surface of the specimen. Then proceed with the acetone wipe andweighing process described in 10.2.5. Report when th

42、is alternate method of specimen cooling is used.10.2.7 The change in volume is calculated as follows:V,%5M32M4!2M12M2!M12M2!3100 (1)where:M1 = initial mass of specimen in air, g,M2 = initial mass of specimen in water, g,M3 = mass of specimen in air after immersion, g, andM4 = mass of specimen in wat

43、er after immersion, g.10.3 Volume Shrinkage-Simulated Dry Out (Optional Test Method)Test three specimens.D6546 15310.3.1 In some situations when long downtimes are expected, the O-ring should not shrink beyond 5 % of its previous volumechange value since this can affect its ability to be an effectiv

44、e seal when the system is restarted. In those cases in which a positivevolume change was obtained in 10.2 and long system down times are anticipated, it is recommended that volume shrinkage bedetermined. To perform this optional test method, additional O-rings will have to be tested in accordance wi

45、th 10.2 and then testedin accordance with 10.3 since the normal test for volume change is immediately followed by the destructive tensile test.10.3.2 The test specimen shall consist on an entire O-ring. The specimen must first be submitted for the volume swell test. Thisspecimen is only to be used f

46、or this test sequence and not for any other testing.10.3.3 Place the test specimen from the volume swell test in a forced-air oven that allows air circulation around the testspecimen, and maintain the oven at a test temperature of 23 6 1C (73.4 6 1.8F) for 22 6 0.25 h. 23 C 6 1 C(73.4 F 6 1.8 F) for

47、 22 h 6 0.25 h.At the end of the required period, remove the specimen from the oven and allow it to air cool.10.3.4 Weigh each test specimen in air, M5, and then weigh each specimen immersed in water, M6.10.3.5 The change in volume or shrinkage is calculated as follows:V,%5M52M6!2M32M4!M32M4!3100 (2

48、)where:M3 = initial mass of volume swell specimen in air after immersion, g,M4 = initial mass of volume swell specimen in water after immersion, g,M5 = mass of volume swell specimen in air after dry out, g, andM6 = mass of volume swell specimen in water after dry out, g.11. Changes in Tensile Streng

49、th, Work Function, Elongation, and Hardness11.1 Original PropertiesThe original tensile strength, work function, ultimate elongation, and hardness shall be determinedusing a duplicate set of specimens of O-rings of the same cross section as those that are to be immersed in the test fluid.The O-ringsshall be from the same batch as those that are to be immersed in the test fluid.11.2 Properties After Exposure to the Test Fluid, for determining the tensile strength, work function, ultimate elongation, an
