Specimen Scribing5.1 Scribe test specimens in

16、accordance with Test MethodD1654, section on Preliminary Treatment of Test Specimens.The panels should be scribed in a single straight line.6. Exposure of Test Specimens6.1 Prior to exposure, measure the width of the scribe.Record this information.6.2 Expose test specimens in accordance with any of

17、thefollowing Practices B117, D1014, D4585, D4587, D5894,D6695, and G85, or any other applicable test method, as agreedupon between the producer and the user.

19、he rustcreepage area based on the procedure described in 7.2.1.1 and7.2.1.2.7.2.1.1 Marking Test SpecimenPlace the ruler immedi-ately below and parallel to the scribe line ab of the test panel(refer to Fig. 1 for geometry terms). Use the tracing pen tomark points g and h on the test panel so that gh

20、 is the centerline that represents 80 % of the scribe line. Mark points i, j, k,and l with the pen on the borderline of creepage area such thatlines ig and kh are perpendicular to the scribe line (See Fig. 1).Remove the ruler.7.2.1.2 Area TracingPlace a single sheet of the transpar-ent plastic that

21、is 50 % larger than the panel over the entirecorroded side of the scribed panel. Do not stretch the plasticsheet and ensure there are no folds or creases. Press the sheettightly against the panel and fold the excess around the back ofthe panel. To avoid any sliding, tape the plastic sheet to theback

22、 of the panel.(a) Orient the panel so that the scribe line is vertical anddirectly in front. With one hand, hold the panel and the plasticsheet, and with the other hand, trace the creepage or undercut-ting outline on the sheet using the pen. The tracing must bemade smoothly and continuously by holdi

23、ng the pen at about a75 angle to the surface with the upper end of pen away fromcreepage. Position the pen so that only the tip is in contact withthe surface and is at the point where the raised creepage areabegins. Halfway through the tracing, rotate the panel and theplastic 180 degrees and complet

24、e the tracing on the other sideof the scribe. Ensure that the plastic does not move during therotation. Make sure the traced lines at both ends of scribe lineare connected. The traced line must have uniform intensity andgood continuity.(b) On the plastic sheet, mark points i, j, k, and l on theoutsi

25、de edge of the traced line. A typical trace of creepage areadeveloped around the scribe line (ab) and marking points i, j,k, and l for area integration are shown in Fig. 1. Note thatscribe line ab should not be traced. Remove the plastic sheetfrom the panel. With the tracing pen, use a ruler to draw

26、 linescd and ef on the plastic sheet.NOTE 1Stain beyond the creepage area should not be traced.NOTE 2The tracing must be conducted carefully under good lightcondition and by an operator with good eyesight.NOTE 3The intensity and continuity of traced line may be examinedwith a magnifying glass or an

27、optical microscope.NOTE 4For some people, orienting the panel with scribe line hori-zontally may be easier. Trace the bottom side of the creepage area first andthen trace the topside of creepage area later. Make sure the traced lines atboth ends of the scribe line are connected.7.2.2 Trace ScanningP

28、lace the transparent plastic sheetwith the traced creepage or undercutting area with markedpoints i, j, k, and l and lines cd and ef onto the glass of theflatbed scanner. Place a ruler next to the trace area with thedimension markings facing the light source. Back the tracingand the ruler with a she

29、et of white paper or cardstock. Scan theimage that must include all the traced line and the ruler. Savethis image as a .xxx file in the computer with a uniquefilename.7.2.3 Imaging and Integrating Creepage AreaUse imagesoftware capable of capturing and opening image file of trace.Calibrate distance

30、by selecting a known length with the rulerimage (Fig. 1) such as 40 mm or 50 mm to obtain number ofpixels per mm, choose threshold for line contrast, then clickinside the region (ijlk) to be integrated to obtain rust creepagearea by following the instructions provided with the software.7.2.4 Obtaini

The areab

Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionInterlaboratory round robin test results wereobtained by six laboratories; in each laboratory, three weath-ered coat

37、ed panels were traced in duplicate. For three sampleswith mean rust creepage of 2.2, 3.4, and 8.8 mm, within-laboratory relative standard deviation was found to be 4.3, 3.0,1.8 %, respectively, and between-laboratories relative standarddeviation was found to be 8.2, 10.4, and 2.2 %, respectively.Bas

38、ed on this, the following criteria should be used for judgingthe precision of results at the 95 % confidence level:9.1.1 RepeatabilityTwo results for the mean creepage of2.2, 3.4, and 8.8 mm obtained by the same operator should beconsidered suspect if they differ by more than 12.3, 8.3, and4.9 %, re

39、spectively. In other words, the measurements for themean creepage of 2.2, 3.4, and 8.8 mm should stay between 1.9and 2.5 mm, 3.1 and 3.7 mm, and 8.4 and 9.2 mm, respectively.9.1.2 ReproducibilityTwo results, each the mean of dupli-cates, obtained by operators in different laboratories should beconsi

40、dered suspect if they differ by more than 22.9, 29.3, and6.3 % respectively, for the mean creepage of 2.2, 3.4, and 8.8mm. In other words, the measurements for the mean creepageof 2.2, 3.4, and 8.8 mm should stay between 1.7 and 2.7 mm,2.4 and 4.4 mm, and 8.3 and 9.4 mm, respectively.9.2 BiasBias ca

41、nnot be determined as no reference mate-rial is available.NOTE 5The error increases as rust creepage area or mean creepagedecreases. More data are available in the publication cited.5NOTE 6Some factors affecting precision are:(a) Deviation of tracing line from actual outline of creepage area.(b) Low

42、 adhesion of pen ink to plastic sheet.(c) Discontinuity of tracing line.(d) Low intensity of tracing line.(e) Non-uniformity of tracing line.(f) Distance not accurately calibrated.(g) Sliding of transparent plastic sheet during tracing.(h) Poor light condition.(i) Poor operator eyesight.10.
