Summary of Test Method3.

6、1 A sample cutting of wet blue is either taken directly outof the tanning drum or else is pre-soaked in water for 30 minor until it is completely re-hydrated (see 9.1 for details onre-hydration). The specimen to be tested is cut out from thisthoroughly hydrated sample cutting. The test specimen is t

7、hentotally submerged and suspended in boiling water. The testspecimen is removed 3.0 min after the water temperaturereaches 100C and begins to re-boil. As soon as the specimenhas cooled sufficiently to allow comfortable handling the arealoss is determined.4. Significance and Use4.1 Determination of

8、the hydro-thermal area stability of wetblue provides information concerning the efficacy of thetanning process as well as the adequacy of the wet blue forintended end use applications where area stability is a particu-lar requirement. Relative area stability of chrome-tannedleather is a requirement

Hazards7.1 All reagents and chemicals should be handled with care.Before using any chemical, read and fol

18、low all safety precau-tions and instructions on the manufacturers label or MSDS(Material Safety Data Sheet).8. Test Specimen8.1 The original sample cutting to be pre-soaked and the testspecimen cut from it shall be taken from the wet blue accordingto Practice D6659. Specifically, for a hide or side

19、the cuttingshall be taken from the “a” test area (the kidney area) of a hideor side. The number of samples to be tested shall be asdescribed in Practice D6659 and need not be more than 12 per50 000 ft2of wet blue stock.8.2 The sample cutting taken from the wet blue should belarge enough to permit th

20、e test specimen to be cut out with afresh edge no closer than 13 mm (0.5 in) to an edge of theoriginal cutting. The sample cutting from which the testspecimen should be taken, should have minimum dimensionsof approximately 101 by 101 mm (4 by 4 in.). A cutting takenstraight out of the tanning drum p

21、rior to wringing need not bepre-soaked and the test specimen can be cut out directly fromthis sample cutting. A cutting taken from wet blue at any pointfrom the wringing operation forward will need to be pre-soaked (see 9.1 for details on re-hydration). The standard testspecimen shall be a square 76

22、.0 mm (3.00 in.) on edge. Othersize and shape specimens can be used. It is recommended thatfor non-standard test specimens the minimum dimension (for aside of a rectangle or diameter of a circle ) be 51.0 mm (2.0 in.)and the maximum dimension (for a side or diameter ) be 102mm (4.0 in.). Before a te

23、st specimen of non-standard dimen-sions may be used with this test method it must be rigorouslydemonstrated that the non-standard specimen gives identicalresults to that of the standard specimen for the particular wetblue being tested.NOTE 1As an example of a non-standard specimen, a convenient size

24、for test specimens could be a square exactly 100 mm on edge. Then, onthis specimen, a loss of 1 mm in each dimension is approximately (but notexactly) equal to 1 % loss in area. For instance, if a specimen experienceda loss of 4 mm in one dimension (actual measurement after the test was96 mm determi

25、ned by averaging the measured length of the two edgesparallel to that dimension) and a loss of 6 mm in the other dimension(actual measurement after the test was 94 mm determined by averagingthe measured length of the two edges parallel to that dimension) then theapproximate area loss for that specim

26、en would be 10 % (that is,4+6%).However, multiplication and subtraction followed by division (10 000 9024 mm2)/10 000 mm2 yields 9.76 % for the actual area loss. For mostapplications using this method, the area loss determined by simply addingthe dimensional loss values will give adequate results wi

27、thout goingthrough the mathematical calculations.8.3 Appropriate small holes may be punched in the testspecimen to facilitate the suspension of the submerged speci-men in the beaker of water during the test if J-hooks or S-hooksare used in conjunction with a rod across the top of the beaker.Alternat

28、ive practices may provide suspension of the specimenby employing a net type structure attached to a rod across thetop of the beaker.9. Procedure9.1 Cuttings that are taken directly out of the tanning drumprior to dumping and wringing need not be re-hydrated.Thorough hydration of the original sample

29、cutting taken fromwet blue after wringing shall be ensured by pre-soaking thiscutting for a minimum 30 min or until the cutting is completelyre-hydrated. All soaking for re-hydration should take placeunder ambient temperature conditions at the testing location.Cuttings taken from wet blue after wrin

30、ging and that have notdried out usually re-hydrate within 30 min. Wet blue cuttingsthat have dried out somewhat may require significantly morethan 30 min to become completely re-hydrated. Wet bluecuttings that have become significantly air-dried may requiresoaking periods as long as overnight to re-

31、hydrate completely.Re-hydration of the sample cutting can be accomplished bysoaking in a container or tray so long as the cutting iscompletely covered with water. Bending or flexing the cuttingwhile it is completely immersed in water or application of avacuum to facilitate removal of entrapped air m

32、ay facilitatere-hydration. Complete hydration should be determined byweighing the sample at appropriate intervals during the soakingprocess until constant weight is achieved.Appropriate intervalsbetween weighings could be 10-15 min for cuttings that havebeen wrung but not dried out and 30-60 min or

33、more forcuttings that have dried out significantly. Constant weight isachieved when the difference between successive weighings isless than 60.1 g. After the cutting has been completelyre-hydrated, the test specimen can be cut out from it.9.2 Before the test specimen is cut out from the completelyhy

34、drated cutting, the beaker of boiling water shall be preparedso it is ready when the test specimen is cut out. A 1L beaker orother container shall be filled with sufficient water to gener-ously cover the test specimen when fully immersed, butleaving sufficient room to enable the immersion and remova

35、l ofthe test specimen without causing spillage of excess water ontothe hotplate surface. The water shall be brought to boil. If thetemperature is not exactly 100 6 0.5C sufficient glycerin orsalt shall be added to bring the boiling point up to but notexceeding 100C.9.3 Prior to testing, the original

36、 area of the test specimenshall be determined. Measurement of the edge length of the testspecimen should be made a distance back from the physicaledge of the specimen in order to avoid problems with deformededges that may occur as a result of the testing conditions. Markthe grain surface of the spec

37、imen with indelible ink (see 5.6)toindicate the points of the original measurements. Make twomeasurements of each dimension, back 13 mm (0.50 in.) fromthe edges of the specimen, and average them to calculate thearea (A0= (S1a+S1b)/2x(S2a+S2b)/2). The knownD7477 08 (2013)2dimensions of the cutting di

38、e may be used to calculate theoriginal area of the test specimen; however, in order tofacilitate the measurement determinations after testing, thegrain surface of the specimen shall still be marked withindelible ink prior to testing to indicate the points of measure-ment as indicated above.9.4 The t

39、est specimen shall be totally submersed in theboiling water and suspended either by a hook or a net typedevice to prevent it contacting the bottom and sides of thecontainer. Start the timer when the water has again reached 1006 0.5C and begins to re-boil with the same vigor it exhibitedprior to imme

40、rsion of the specimen. After 3.0 min 6 5sremove the specimen from the water, cool it to a comfortableworking temperature by holding it under running cold water,and place it on a flat non-corrosive surface.NOTE 2Shortly after the test specimen is placed into the boiling waterair is released from the

41、specimen and can cause the water to appear to beboiling again. Before the timer is started, it is imperative to make sure thetemperature of the water is the same as it was before the specimen wasintroduced and that the water is boiling with the same intensity as it wasinitially.9.5 Re-measure the di

42、mensions at the marked points andcalculate the area with the new values for the averageddimensions (AF= (S1a+S1b)/2x(S2a+S2b)/2). A negativevalue for the change in area (A0AF) indicates that thespecimen expanded or stretched rather than contracted orshrunk.9.6 When multiple samples must be tested to

43、 a knownquality control or specification requirement on a pass/fail basisit may be more efficient to construct a rigid template with anoutline of the exact dimensions of the test specimen out ofnon-corrosive material such as poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA). Then make an additional outline on the te

44、mplate ofthe percent limit of the area loss acceptable for the specifica-tion. When using this measurement method option it isimperative to check the original dimensions of the specimenagainst the template outline for the original dimensions prior totesting. If the specimen edges do not match the te

45、mplateoutline, that specimen must be discarded and another specimencut until the edges do match the template outline.After testing,place the specimen on the template and determine whether thedimensions are greater than the limit outline (Pass) or less thanthe limit outline. If less than limit outlin

46、e calculate the area lossas in Fig. 1.10. Calculation10.1 Calculate the area change as follows:Percent area change 5 A02 AF! 3100#/A0where:A0= original weight of the specimen, andAF= area of the specimen after testing.11. Report11.1 Report the area change to the nearest 0.1 %.12. Precision and Bias1

47、2.1 PrecisionThe precision of this test method is basedon a repeatability study of WK19533, New Test Method forDetermining the Area Stability of Wet Blue Submersed inBoiling Water, conducted in 2007. One laboratory comparedsix different materials under two different conditions (“asreceived” and “dri

48、ed out”), at one temperature. Every “testresult” represents an individual determination. The laboratorywas asked to submit five replicate test results, for each analysisand condition. Except for the limited number of reportinglaboratories, Practice E691 was followed for the design andanalysis of the

49、 data; the details are given in ASTM ResearchReport No. D31-1011.312.1.1 Repeatability Limit (r)Two test results obtainedwithin one laboratory shall be judged not equivalent if theydiffer by more than the “r” value for that material; “ r”istheinterval representing the critical difference between two testresults for the same material, obtained by the same operatorusing the same equipment on the same day in the samelaboratory.12.1.1.1 Repeatability limits are listed in Table 1 and Table2.12.1.2 Reproducibilty Limit (R)“ R” is the interval repre-senting the critic
