Summary of Practice4.1 A solution of the contaminant is applied to either oneside or both sides of the precleaned test coupons and driedunder standard conditions. The amount of

18、contaminant on thetest coupons is determined. Nonmetallic material test couponsused as inserts, seats, seals, etc. may also be prepared by thisprocedure and are evaluated in the as-used condition.4.2 Three methods of coupon preparation are used:Method A, NVR sample, single sideMethod B, NVR sample,

19、double sideMethod C, NVR and particulate sample5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice will be suitable to direct the preparation oftest coupons with a known amount of contaminant on thesurface. A standard test coupon is described and a list ofcontaminants that have typically been found in oxygen-e

20、nriched systems and components is provided.5.2 These coupons shall be used in the evaluation ofcleaning agents for oxygen-enriched systems and components.This will permit direct comparison within and between testfacilities.5.3 Materials used in other fluid handling systems such asnitrogen, helium, h

21、ydrogen, gasoline, etc. may also be preparedfor evaluation by this practice.6. Apparatus6.1 Test CouponMetal panels of the same material as thecomponent part to be cleaned.

Procedure8.1 Coupon Preparation:8.1.1 The test coupons shall be numbered an

28、d precleanedprior to use; record the number. Determine the surfaceroughness, Ra, of representative coupons of each alloy beingevaluated per ANSI B 46.1 and record. Determine the surfacearea to be contaminated (S) of each of the test coupons andrecord. Attach a handling wire through the hole at the t

29、op ofeach of the test coupons. The precleaning procedure shall beperformed in an ultrasonic cleaner with the coupons immersedin type II reagent water for 10 min. Process a control couponwith the coupons to be contaminated for each cleaning agent tobe evaluated. The coupons shall be dried and stored

30、in adesiccator until needed.8.1.2 Verify that the test coupons have an NVR of 10 mg/sqm (1 mg/sq ft) or less using Test Methods E1235, F324,orF331 and have no particles larger than 300 m when evaluatedusing Test Methods F312. Determine the blank NVR valuesand particle counts on the solvents used to

31、prepare thecontaminating solutions as recommended in Practice F303.These values must be taken into account when preparing thestandard contaminating solutions, especially when very dilutesolutions are desired. Rinse each coupon being prepared forcontamination with the solvent to be used in the contam

32、inantsolution. Allow the coupons to dry overnight or in an oven at40 to 50C for 1 h, cool to room temperature in a desiccator,and weigh. Reweigh the test coupon at intervals, 1 h typically,until a constant weight, 60.1 mg, is achieved. Weigh, recordthe weight (W1) in grams to the nearest 0.1 mg, and

33、 store in adesiccator until needed.NOTE 2It is recommended that coupons be prepared in lots of ten ormore to ensure the necessary sensitivity for the verification.8.1.3 After cleaning, the test coupons should be handledonly with laboratory tongs or tweezers by the handling wire ora hook on the coupo

As analternative, a mixture of as many contaminants as desired maybe prepared in a suitable solvent. The concentration

35、of thesolution, typically between 1 and 100 mg/mL, should beadjusted to reflect the worst expected contamination level inthe system to be cleaned. In some cases, i.e. oils, dyepenetrants, or inks, it may not be necessary to use a solvent inthe preparation of the coupons to achieve the desired level

36、ofcontamination.8.2.2 Place the test coupon(s), number side down, on ahorizontal surface and carefully apply the solution containingthe contaminant to the upper surface of the coupon using apipette, syringe, brush, or spray applicator. Record the numberof the test coupon and the surface area (S) in

37、square centime-ters of each coupon that was coated.8.2.3 Allow the contaminant to dry overnight or in an ovenat 40 to 50C for 1 h, cool to room temperature in a desiccator,remove from the desiccator, and weigh. Reweigh the testcoupon at intervals while storing the coupons in a desiccatorbetween weig

38、hings, 4 h typically, until a constant weight isachieved. Record the final weight (W2) in grams to the nearest0.1 mg. It may be necessary to make additional applications toachieve the desired contamination level. (WarningDo notplace test coupons directly in the oven after application of thesolution

39、containing the contaminant. A fire may result if thesolvent is flammable; or rapid evaporation of the solvent maycause spattering of the contaminant, thereby reducing theamount of contaminant on the test coupon. It is recommendedthat the test coupons be air dried until no traces of a liquidphase are

40、 visible.)8.2.4 Test coupons shall be used immediately after finalweighing.8.3 Method B, NVR Sample, Double Side:8.3.1 Prepare a standard solution containing the desiredcontaminant, in a suitable solvent for that contaminant.

42、n of the coupons to achieve the desired level ofcontamination.8.3.2 Carefully dip the test coupon into the contaminantsolution until it is completely immersed. Slowly withdraw thetest coupon from the contaminant solution. Other methods ofapplication include brushing or spraying. Record the number of

43、the test coupon and the surface area (S) of each coupon thatwas coated. Hang the test coupon by the handling wire andallow the contaminant to dry overnight or in an oven at 40 to50C for 1 h.
