Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of imparting a pressure d

18、iffer-ential across a single ply of prepreg to determine the perme-ability of the material by exposing one side to the atmosphereand the other to known volume of reduced pressure. The initialreduced pressure, created by a vacuum pump, increases afterthe pump is shut off as a function of air flow thr

This testspecimen is then attached to the surface of the known volumewith vacuum tape. This assembly provides a leak-free seal andno applied compaction pressure on the prepreg surfac

21、rection.4.3 A successful test is dependent on proper handling andmounting of the prepreg material sample. A leak-free seal isrequired between the prepreg and acrylic block adherends andto the surface of the test apparatus.5. Significance and Use5.1 It is well known that the prepreg impregnation leve

22、laffects handling characteristics, tack and drape, and final partquality. Resin impregnation level is the dominant factor in theability of removing air and volatiles from the layup duringprocessing. Partially impregnated prepreg materials can insome applications provide higher quality, lower void co

23、ntentcomposite parts, and are becoming increasingly more commondue to the desire to cure out-of-autoclave, using vacuumbag-only processes. This test can identify small changes in thematerial impregnation level which can assist in definition ofproduction processes or shipping and handling procedures.

24、 Thevalue of permeability can be used for specifying ranges asacceptance requirements for prepreg materials, thus enablingthe prepreg manufacturer and user greater confidence in theability to produce repeatable, high quality parts. This testdirectly determines the actual air flow propensity of thema

25、terial tested without any applied compaction pressure duringtesting.5.2 Factors that influence the permeability of the testedprepreg material shall be reported including: prepreg material,orientation, location on roll, width, length, thickness, andactual atmospheric pressure.6. Interferences6.1 Mate

26、rial and Specimen PreparationPoor material fab-rication practices, lack of control of fiber alignment, anddamage induced by improper specimen cutting are knowncauses of high data scatter in composites in general. Specificfactors that affect the prepreg test specimen permeabilityresults include compr

27、ession and bending of prepreg, handling,sharpness of cutting blades, and control of fiber alignment andorientation when cutting. Measuring prepreg thickness is verydifficult and subjective due to the viscoelastic material andnon-uniform surface and can cause significant permeabilitycalculation error

28、. When comparing values at differentlaboratories, a normalized permeability value that does not takeinto account prepreg thickness may be more applicable.6.2 Permeability Test Specimen PreparationTo maintain ahigh quality seal to the prepreg material it is important to haveclean bonding surfaces on

29、the acrylic blocks. Also theviscosity, gel, and cure time of adhesive, time to applyadhesive and mount specimen, and adhesive quantity can affectthe seal or cause undesired impregnation of areas of theprepreg. The adhesive must fill in the bond line between thetwo acrylic block adherends or there ca

30、n be a gap that isdifficult to seal from the environment. Control of the orienta-tion of the prepreg between the acrylic blocks is necessary forrepeatable results. Once the prepreg is mounted and adheredbetween the acrylic blocks, the test specimen should beallowed to cure without pressure on the pr

31、epreg. Ends of themounted prepreg should never be touched except for cuttingimmediately before testing.6.3 Mounting Blocks and AdhesiveThe mounting blocksthat are specified are based on cast clear acrylic which enablesinspection of the bond line. Other clear polymer blocks may beused but adhesion wo

32、uld need to be evaluated with themounting adhesive6.4 Mounting Permeability Test Specimen to ApparatusThe completed test specimens must be mounted with theprepreg centered so as not to touch the sides of the apparatus.An air-tight seal must be maintained throughout the testing.6.5 Barometric Pressur

33、eThe barometric pressure that isused for the calculation of permeability must be the actualbarometric pressure in the ambient testing environment and nota corrected barometric pressure. All pressure units used forcalculations must be in absolute values.6.6 GeometrySpecific geometric factors that aff

34、ect perme-ability results include prepreg thickness, width, length, andorientation.6.7 EnvironmentResults can be affected by large varia-tions in environmental conditions under which the tests areconducted. Sample preparation and testing in humidity (RH)over 70% and temperatures above 23.9 C 75 F or

35、 below15.6 C 60 F are not recommended.D8132/D8132M 1727. Apparatus7.1 Test ApparatusTest apparatus is according to drawing(Fig. 1) starting with a stainless-steel cylinder that is approxi-mately 51 mm 2.0 in. outer diameter (OD) by 115 mm4.50 in. long. One end of the cylinder is machined from thecen

36、ter resulting in a hollow right cylinder extending 69.85 mm2.75 in. from one end. Holes are bored according to drawing(Fig. 1) and tapped to attach vacuum gage and valve fitting. Amounting/base plate to support the hollow cylinder in theupright position is recommended for stability. This can bemade

37、from one of many designs and is not critical as long asit enables the top of the hollow cylinder to be upright andstable. A 6.35 mm 0.25 in. thick plate, 150 mm 6.0 in. by205 mm 8.0 in. is very effective. Two holes are bored throughthe 6.35 mm 0.25 in. plate located 50.8 mm 2.0 in. from thelong end

38、and one each at 63.5 2.5 in. from each edge. Noneof these dimensions is critical to the apparatus function. It isnecessary that the hole-size clearance is large enough toaccommodate the selected bolt. To mount the cylinder to thebase plate, two holes are drilled and tapped at the bottom of thecylind

39、er.To complete the apparatus, a digital vacuum gage with a0.25 in. MNPT is attached directly to one of the 0.25 in. FNPTtapped holes and a fitting and valve attached on the oppositeside. All threads should be sealed with anaerobic pipe threadsealant to ensure an air tight seal. The digital vacuum ga

40、geshould be capable of accuracy 60.25% full scale and display atleast 5 display digits. On the other side of the cylinder a hexnipple 0.25 in. MNPT, 25.6 mm 1.01 in. long, should beattached. To this hex nipple a valve capable of maintaining aleak free seal under vacuum is attached. A one piece stain

41、lessball valve 0.25 in., FNPT (2 ports) is recommended. The otherside of the valve can be connected to a quick disconnect ordirectly threaded into the vacuum line. A completed apparatusmounted to a baseplate is shown in Fig. 2.The total volume of the completed vacuum chamber appa-ratus from the clos

42、ed valve to the top of the open cylinderneeds to be calculated or determined from filling with appro-priate density fluid. The total volume with fittings should bebetween 85 to 90 cm35.1 to 5.5 in.3.7.2 Vacuum Pump2 to 3 CFM and capable of achievingwithin 3% of actual barometric pressure.7.3 Vacuum

A ball interface is recomm

44、ended for thickness measure-ments when at least one surface is irregular (e.g. a course peelply surface which is neither smooth nor flat). A micrometer orcaliper with a flat anvil interface shall be used for measuringlength, width, and other machined surface dimensions. The useof alternative measure

45、ment devices is permitted if specified (oragreed to) by the test requestor and reported by the testinglaboratory. The accuracy of the instrument(s) shall be suitablefor reading to within1%ofthespecimen dimensions. ForFIG. 1 Apparatus DesignD8132/D8132M 173typical specimen geometries, an instrument w

49、 Test Specimens8.1 SamplingThe number of tests and location of speci-mens is determined by the test requestor. If not specified, atleast five specimens should be tested unless valid results can begained through the use of fewer specimens, as in the case of adesigned experiment. For a roll of prepreg, often both edgesand middle require testing but may also include beginning andend of rolls. For statistically significant data, consult theprocedures outlined in Practice E122.
