No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard does not purport

4、to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

Summary of Practice4.1 The gel time of a polyurethane non-foam formulation isdetermined by measuring the time required for the viscosity ofthe polymerizing system to increase to a set level using a gelmeter. It is recommended

8、 that the torque of the gel meter beverified with a gauge certified to NIST standards.5. Significance and Use5.1 General Utility:5.1.1 This practice is suitable for research, quality control,specification testing and process control.5.1.2 It is useful to define and verify the reactivity ofnon-foam p

9、olyurethane formulations.5.2 Limitations:5.2.1 Operator-to-operator variability and lab-to-lab vari-ability can be significant.5.2.2 The variability of this practice is dependent on theequipment used to measure the gel time. It is recommendedthat the testing laboratory and the client agree on the eq

10、uipmentand the conditions to be used that include the following:5.2.2.1 Gel Tester and gel point criteria,5.2.2.2 Speed/rpm of the mixer,5.2.2.3 Type and shape of the mix blades,5.2.2.4 Size and type (for example, shape, lined or unlined)of container for mixing the components and for measuring thege

11、l time, and5.2.2.5 The volume (or height) of material to be placed inthe container for measuring the gel time and the depth of themeasuring wire or spindle of the gel tester from the bottom ofthe container.5.2.3 The estimation of precision in this practice is verylimited. Users of this practice shal

12、l develop their own precisiondata to determine if these procedures meet their requirements.5.2.4 It is possible that low-levels (ppm, ppb) of contami-nants will not be detected using this practice.6.

Therefore, blanket thesample with dry air or nitrogen at all times. (WarningDiisocyanates are eye, skin and respiratory irritants at concen-trations above the occ

16、upational exposure limit (TLV or PEL).Diisocyanates can cause skin and respiratory sensitization(asthma) in some people. Once sensitized, it is essential to limitfurther exposure to diisocyanates. Use a combination ofengineering controls and personal protective equipment, in-cluding respiratory, ski

17、n and eye protection, to prevent over-exposure to diisocyanates. Consult the product suppliersSafety Data Sheet (SDS) for more detailed information aboutpotential health effects and other specific safety and handlinginstructions for the product.)7.
