10、ritish Standard describes a method for the measurement of the equivalent pore radius, which provides an estimate of the size of the interstices in all types of fabric which are permeable to air. The method is particularly applicable to water repellent and filter fabrics. NOTEThe titles of the public

11、ations referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definition For the purposes of this British Standard, the following definition applies. equivalent pore radius the radius of capillary of circular cross section which requires the same air pressure to force a wetting liquid f

12、rom it as from the fabric pore 3 Principle The pressure required to force air bubbles through the interstices of a fabric, wetted by a liquid and having a film of the same liquid applied to its upper surface, is observed. This pressure together with the known surface tension of the liquid is used to

13、 estimate the size of the interstices in the fabric. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Apparatus for measurement of the equivalent pore size, having the following characteristics (seeAppendix A). a) Means shall be provided for clamping the specimen of fabric in such a manner that: 1) it is horizontal; 2) a circular a

14、rea of the fabric50mm in diameter will be subjected to steadily increasing air pressure on the lower face; 3) no leakage of the test liquid occurs during the test period; 4) the specimen does not slip in the clamps. NOTE 1The clamps should be faced with resilient material (which is resistant to whit

15、e spirit). With some forms of apparatus, it has been found that the correct conditions of clamping can be attained if the clamps are faced with a suitable grade of synthetic rubber. b) The liquid in contact with the test specimen shall be white spirit which complies with BS245. c) The rate of increa

16、se in air pressure shall be200mm head of water per minute to250mm head of water per minute (2kPa/min to2.5 kPa/min 1) ). d) A pressure measuring device connected to the test head shall be calibrated in millimetres head of water (or kPa). NOTE 2It is necessary to provide a pressure measuring device o

17、f suitable range. A pressure measuring device which provides for pressures up to600mm head of water (6kPa) is suitable for most fabrics. A pressure measuring device providing pressures of up to1m head of water (10kPa) is required for measurements on close fabrics, e.g. ventiles, clean room overalls,

18、 theatre clothing and drapes. NOTE 3For details of sources of supply of a suitable apparatus contact Enquiry Section, BSI, Linford Wood, Milton Keynes MK146LE, enclosing a stamped addressed envelope for reply. 5 Atmosphere for conditioning and testing The atmosphere required for conditioning and tes

19、ting shall be the standard temperate atmosphere for testing textiles specified in BS1051. 6 Preparation of test specimens 6.1 After receipt, handle the fabric as little as possible and do not sharply fold, iron or treat it in any way other than by conditioning. Cut specimens from the fabric in a sha

20、pe convenient for handling and clamping. Take the test specimens from different places in the fabric, avoiding any creases, so that they represent the material as fully as possible. NOTEFor most types of apparatus, it is convenient to cut specimens from the fabric in the form of75mm 75mm squares. 6.

21、2 Condition the specimens to be tested in the standard atmosphere for testing specified in clause5 for at least24h. 6.3 Unless otherwise stipulated, test10 specimens from any sample of fabric submitted. 7 Procedure 7.1 Conduct the test in the standard atmosphere for testing specified in clause5. 7.2

22、 Determine the surface tension of the white spirit by any convenient method to the nearest0.5mN/m. NOTE 1Within the range of the standard atmosphere, the surface tension of white spirit usually lies between24mN/m and27mN/m, with a temperature coefficient of 0.005mN/(m C). The Wilhelmy, stalagmometer

23、, single and double capillary methods have all been found satisfactory for measuring surface tension. NOTE 2White spirit is used due to its ability to wet fabrics, particularly water repellent fabrics, without swelling the fibres. 1) 1 mm head of water = 9.80 665 Pa.BS3321:1986 2 BSI 08-1999 7.3 Soa

24、k the conditioned specimen under about15mm (depth) of white spirit in a glass dish. After soaking for a minimum period of3min remove the specimen with forceps and clamp it on the testing head. Pour a few millilitres of white spirit onto the surface of the fabric; pour just sufficient to cover the fa

25、bric completely after it has bulged slightly under the pressure exerted on the underside during the test. Note the temperature of the white spirit at this stage. NOTEVery open fabric may be more easily tested if the air pressure is allowed to increase on the underside of the specimen and bulge the s

26、pecimen before the white spirit is poured on to cover the surface of the fabric completely. 7.4 Under increasing air pressure, bubbles appear at different places over the upper surface; observe the specimen continuously whilst the pressure is increasing and record, to the nearest millimetre, the pre

27、ssure at which the first bubble appears at the third place on the upper surface. 7.5 Test further specimens until the requisite number of results is obtained. 8 Calculation and expression of results Calculate the equivalent pore radius, r, in micrometres for each specimen by means of the equation: r

28、 = 2T 10 6 / Pg or simplified r=204T/P where Calculate the mean pore radius and quote the result in micrometres to the nearest micrometre. NOTE 1The error introduced by taking =1mg/mm 3for the relative density of water at the temperature of the standard atmosphere for testing is small compared with

29、the variability of the test results. Similarly, although g is known to vary by about0.5% from place to place, the error introduced by assuming a constant value of9810mm/s 2is small compared with the variability of the test. NOTE 2The derivation of the equipment is given in Appendix B. 9 Test report

30、The test report shall include the following particulars: a) the number and date of this British Standard, i.e. BS3321:1986; b) the equivalent pore radius in micrometres for each specimen and the mean pore radius in micrometres for the sample; c) a description of the sample tested; d) details of any

31、deviation from the specified procedure. T is the surface tension of the white spirit at the temperature of the test (in mN/m); g is the acceleration due to gravity (in mm/s 2 ); is the density of water at the temperature of the test (in mg/mm 3 ); P is the bubble pressure expressed in millimetres he

32、ad of water.BS3321:1986 BSI 08-1999 3 Appendix A Advice on a suitable form of apparatus and its use A.1 A suitable form of apparatus is shown diagrammatically inFigure 1. The principal parts are as follows. A. The testing head; a brass cylindrical vessel over which the specimen “e” is clamped by a c

33、lamping ring “a” and screw “b”. It is fitted with a synthetic rubber gasket “c” of50mm internal diameter to make a seal against the specimen. B. Pressure measuring device. C. A stop-valve which serves to direct air to the testing head. D. A variable blow valve set to give the required rate of rise o

34、f pressure in A. E. A stop-valve which directs air to the pressure measuring device. F. Air reservoir of about2.5 L capacity connected to A. This ensures that the rate of flow of air necessary to maintain the required rise of pressure is so large that the loss of air through the fabric when bubbling

35、 begins will not seriously reduce the rate of rise of pressure. G. The air supply. A.2 Using the apparatus shown inFigure 1 the test is conducted as follows. Turn on the air supply. Open valve C to direct air to the test head via reservoir F, and adjust valve D to give the required rate of pressure

36、rise. Leave stop-valve E open during testing. When a bubble appears at the third place in the fabric specimen, Eis closed to allow the pressure reached to be read from the measuring device B. Appendix B Derivation of equation for calculation of equivalent pore radius For a cylindrical tube, the pres

37、sure P necessary to force liquid through it is given by the following equation: where This is the Laplace equation (see for instance ADAMSON, A.W. Physical chemistry of surfaces. New York, J. Wiley,1976). The contact angle is very difficult to measure and therefore a liquid is chosen which completel

38、y wets the material, thus cos Q =1 and the equation becomes: This equation is the same as the simplified equation given in clause8. The pressure is normally measured in millimetres head of water, because either a water manometer is used, or the pressure measuring device is calibrated in millimetres

39、head of water. Thus P = P bg where The liquid used should wet the fabric completely, have low solvent power for proofing materials, cause no swelling of the textile, have constancy of surface tension, non-toxicity, low flammability, freedom from foaming, and moderate cost. White spirit is the only l

40、iquid found that fulfils all these requirements. NOTEA background paper giving the derivation of the method and results of an interlaboratory trial was published in Textile Institute Proceedings, vol.50, no.12, p.768,1959.
