1、Designation: D 7487 08Standard Practice forPolyurethane Raw Materials: Polyurethane Foam Cup Test1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 7487; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision

2、. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers the determination of cream time(initiation time), top of cup time, free rise time, free rise height,string gel

3、 time (pull time), tack free time, settle back, and freerise density of polyurethane foam formulations using a cupfoam test.1.2 Typical definitions, terms, and techniques are described;including procedures for mixing and transferring samples tothe foaming container; and data gathering and evaluation

4、.However, agreement between the customer and the testinglaboratory for all these items must be obtained prior to use.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priat

17、nfirmation of such contamination will potentially requirelarge-scale ( 20 litres) tests and is out of the scope of thispractice.6.

19、of measuring to 1 mm.7. Test Conditions7.1 Since isocyanates react with moisture, keep laboratoryhumidity low, preferably around 50 % relative humidity.7.2 Some of the parameters are influenced by atmosphericpressure. The quantitative influence is not known at this time.If results are to be compared

20、 between laboratories located atsignificantly different elevations above sea level, it is advisableto measure the barometric pressure and develop a suitable,empirical correction factor. (WarningMany diisocyanatesare known or suspected sensitizers. Over-exposure to diisocy-anates can lead to adverse

21、health effects which may include thedevelopment of occupational asthma and other respiratory,skin, and eye effects. Engineering controls, or personal protec-tive equipment, or both, including respiratory, skin, and eyeprotection, are to be used when there is a potential forover-exposure to diisocyan

22、ates. The product suppliers Mate-rial Data Safety Sheet (MSDS) provides more detailed infor-mation about potential adverse health effects and other impor-tant safety and handling information. Always follow thespecific instructions provided on the MSDS.)8. Procedure8.1 Check the stirrer speed with a

23、tachometer and rotationdirection in air with no load and turn the stirrer off afterchecking.8.2 Weigh an empty cup and record the weight.8.3 Weigh reactants into the cup in accordance with previ-ously established order of addition.NOTE 2Ensure that the temperature of the reactants is as specifiedpri

24、or to use.NOTE 3This cup is then nested into another cup to prevent spillingchemicals in case the propeller cuts the first cup. Some practitioners useplastic cups with thicker walls and omit the second cup.NOTE 4If users elect to mix in one cup and pour into a second cup,results may vary.8.4 Immerse

25、 the stirrer blade completely to a startingposition in contact with the bottom of the cup and retract itslightly.8.5 Simultaneously, turn on the mixer switch, and start thestopwatch.NOTE 5In some cases, it is better to ramp up the mixer speed. Suchmodifications need to be established prior to testin

26、g.8.6 Mix the materials for a specified time then, remove thecup from the spinning mixing blade.NOTE 6Care must be taken to remove the cup slowly so that splashingof the reaction mixture does not occur. If appropriate, stop the mixer at theend of the specified time and then remove the cup.8.7 Place

27、the cup in a fume hood and record the times asdefined in Section 3.8.8 Clean the stirrer blade thoroughly after each test.8.9 After a specified time, cut off the crown of the foam asclose to the top edge of the paper cup as possible.8.10 Record the weight of the cup plus remaining foam tothe nearest

Calculation9.1 Calculate the Free Rise Density and express as kg/m3.9.1.1 An example of how Free Rise Density can be deter-mined is as follows:9.1.1.1 Calculate the weight of the foam in the cup asfollows:Wfoam!5 Wcup 1 cut foam!
