An important class of product is that characterized by low water absorption and resistance to crazing generally known as vitrified hotelware and this standard specifies the two principal technical requirements that need to be fulfilled before a product can correctly be called vitrified hotelwa

9、re viz. resistance to water absorption and crazing, determined by sampling from a consignment. It does not purport to have any relevance in the field of technical or industrial ceramics such as sanitary or electrical ceramics, nor does it cover any other aspects of fitness for purpose. It does not i

10、nclude any requirements for those characteristics which are matters of personal choice or which can be readily assessed by the purchaser at the point of sale. Attention is drawn to Statutory Instrument 1988 No. 1647 The Ceramic Ware (Safety) Regulations 1988 which limits the amount of lead and cadmi

19、ody 3 Sampling Samples for testing shall be taken at random from a consignment in accordance withTable 1 and shall be representative of all of the types of tableware included in the consignment. Not more than50samples shall be taken from any one consignment. 4 Performance 4.1 Water absorption When t

20、ested in accordance withAppendix A, the average value for water absorption for all samples tested shall not exceed0.2%. Additionally, when tested in accordance withAppendix A, the following shall apply for specific sample sizes. Table 1 Sample size for testing a) For a sample size not exceeding10ite

21、ms, no item tested shall give an individual value for water absorption exceeding0.4%. b) For a sample size between 11 and25items, not more than one of the items tested shall give an individual value for water absorption exceeding0.4%. c) For a sample size between26 and35 items, not more than two of

22、the items tested shall give an individual value for water absorption exceeding0.4%. d) For a sample size between36 and50items, not more than three of the items tested shall give an individual value for water absorption exceeding0.4%.

24、be determined on the cumulative results of all tests performed. 4.2 Crazing When tested in accordance withAppendix B, no item tested shall exhibit crazing when examined as described inB.5. 5 Marking Each item of vitrified hotelware complying with this standard shall be marked with the following. a)

25、The name, trade mark or any other means of identifying the UK manufacturer or responsible supplier. b) The number of this British Standard, i.e.BS4034 1) . NOTEThe date of the standard, or the manufacturers own marking of the date of manufacture (such that it is distinct from the date of the standar

26、d) may also be included. c) The word(s) “Vitrified” or “Vitrified hotelware”. 1) Marking BS4034 on or in relation to a product represents a manufacturers declaration of conformity, i.e. a claim by or on behalf of the manufacturer that the product meets the requirements of the standard. The accuracy

27、of the claim is therefore solely the responsibility of the person making the claim. Such a declaration is not to be confused with third party certification of conformity, which may also be desirable.BS4034:1990 BSI 08-1999 3 Appendix A Method of test for the determination of water absorption A.1 Pri

28、nciple The water absorption (see2.6) of vitrified hotelware is assessed as the increase in mass which a prepared test piece undergoes as a result of controlled immersion in water, expressed as a percentage of the mass of the dry test piece. A.2 Apparatus A.2.1 Air-circulating oven, capable of mainta

29、ining a temperature of 110 5 C. A.2.2 Desiccator A.2.3 Balance, capable of determining masses of between5g and20g to an accuracy of0.001g. A.2.4 Vessel, from which air can safely be removed and in which boiling of the test pieces in water may take place. A.2.5 Source of heat A.2.6 De-gassed distille

30、d or de-gassed de-ionized water A.2.7 Smooth cotton cloth A.3 Test pieces Immediately before commencement of the test procedure break the sample, by impact, and take two test pieces of between5g and20g in mass from areas of the broken sample as follows. a) For flatware, take one test piece from the

31、central area and the second test piece from the rim area of the sample. b) For holloware, take one test piece from the top section and the second test piece from the base area of the sample. A.4 Procedure Dry the test pieces to constant mass in an air-circulating oven maintained at110 5 C. Cool the

32、test pieces in a desiccator (A.2.2) to ambient temperature. Weigh the test pieces and record their masses to the nearest0.001g. Place the dry test pieces into a vessel (A.2.4), reduce the pressure therein to2.5 1.5kPa and maintain at this pressure for60 5min. Without admitting air, admit de-gassed d

33、istilled or de-gassed de-ionized water (A.2.6) at ambient temperature to the vessel, until the test pieces are fully covered. Then admit air to the vessel, returning it to atmospheric pressure, and boil the water and test pieces for605min ensuring that the test pieces remain fully submerged. Allow t

34、he test pieces to cool for not less than24h whilst remaining submerged in the boiled water. Remove the test pieces from the water and wipe them with a moistened smooth cotton cloth (A.2.7) such that glazed surfaces are completely dry and broken surfaces retain a thin film of moisture appearing as a

35、sheen. Weigh each test piece and record their masses to the nearest0.001g. A.5 Calculation and expression of results For each test piece calculate the water absorption as a percentage of the dry mass of the test piece from the following formula: where Report the individual results and the arithmetic

36、 mean of the two results obtained for each sample. W 1 is the mass of the test piece after drying to constant mass (in g). W 2 is the mass of the test piece after immersion (in g). 100W 2 W 1 () W 1 -BS4034:1990 4 BSI 08-1999 Appendix B Method of test for the determination of crazing B.1 Principle T

37、he crazing (see2.7) of vitrified hotelware is assessed by subjecting a prepared sample to steam under pressure, then examining the glaze of the cooled sample for crazing with the assistance of a staining agent. B.2 Apparatus B.2.1 Vessel, which can be sealed and safely pressurized with steam. B.2.2

38、Staining agent, consisting of a solution of51g/L eosin and51g/L domestic washing-up liquid. B.2.3 Soft cotton cloth B.3 Sample preparation Grind three separate circles of diameter12.5 2.5mm into the surface of the complete sample, evenly distributed across the sample, such that the glaze is penetrat

39、ed and the biscuit exposed over the entire area of these circles. B.4 Procedure Place the sample into a vessel (B.2.1) in a position where the sample is protected from direct contact with incoming steam and cannot contact any standing water which may result from steam condensation. Seal the vessel a

40、nd raise the pressure therein, by means of steam injection, to a maximum pressure of340 10kPa and maintain at this pressure for161h. Reduce the pressure in the vessel to atmospheric pressure, by release of steam. Remove the sample and allow it to cool naturally to ambient temperature. Immerse the sa

41、mple completely in the staining agent (B.2.2) for5 1min and then dry it by wiping with a soft cotton cloth (B.2.3). B.5 Assessment of samples Examine the sample for crazing, exhibited as stained line markings within the glaze.5 blankBS 4034:1990 BSI 389 Chiswick High Road London W4 4AL BSIBritishSta
