21、BSI 03-2000 iii Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subje

22、ct for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC

23、) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least75% of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standar

25、the moulding operation. The flowability varies with the age of the moulding compound due to the occurrence of a thickening process. This so-called maturation process is normally initiated by an additive, the aim being to prevent significant separation of the components of the moulding compound, and

26、yet ensure sufficient flow for the moulding compound to be easy to handle and for it to spread out to fill the whole mould cavity when it is moulded. When the flowability of a moulding compound has developed to a defined limit, the compound is said to have reached its matured state. This means it ca

27、n be handled and moulded satisfactorily under given operating conditions. The maturation and shelf life are determined from flowability measurements. The flowability is measured at several different points in time after production of the moulding compound, and the change in flowability plotted as a

28、function of time. The shelf life of the moulding compound is determined by assessing the ease of handling and moulding behaviour as given by the flowability. Experience indicates that in some cases shelf life may also be dependent on the cure characteristics of the moulding compound (seeISO12114). M

29、aturation and shelf life are not parameters in their own right. For a particular moulding compound, the shelf life, for instance, may even differ from one set of moulding conditions to another and from one application to the next. 1 Scope This International Standard specifies two methods for the det

30、ermination of the flowability of fibre-reinforced thermosetting moulding compounds and prepregs. The methods apply to allfibre-reinforced thermosetting moulding compounds and differ in the test conditions and the apparatus required. The methods may be used to assess the influence of individual compo

31、nents of the moulding compound on the moulding behaviour by determining the flowability of the compound. They are also suitable for quality control purposes, as well as the development of moulding compound formulations. The major field of application is with moulding compounds based on unsaturated p

32、olyester (UP) resins. MethodI is a flowability test carried out at room temperature. Conducting the test at room temperature reduces the effect on the results of changes is the temperature of the moulding compound during the test. MethodII is a flowability test carried out under commonly used mouldi

33、ng conditions. In addition, the plate produced may be used for further testing. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard.

39、ich the compound can be moulded without the need to make significant changes in the moulding conditions from those normally used 3.5 elementary unit the smallest normally commercially available entityof a given product. The description (form, dimensions, mass,etc.) of the elementary unit will normal

40、ly be defined in the product specification. Elementary units may be supplied in the form of rolls or packages, for instance NOTEFor a given product, the dimensions, mass or volume of the elementary unit may change, as manufacturing techniques evolve, without necessarily causing any modification in t

41、he properties of the product or the way in which these properties vary within the elementary unit. 4 General 4.1 MethodI This method calls for an unconstrained test specimen to be subjected to a constant load by a punch. The specimen is caused to flow to the side, and the change in height of the pun

42、ch as it sinks is measured (seeFigure 1). Fibre-reinforced moulding compounds exhibit a change in flowability during a flow process, due to their non-Newtonian behaviour. Two values are therefore needed to express the flowability of a moulding compound, one value expressing the instantaneous flowabi

43、lity and the other the change in flowability due to the non-Newtonian behaviour of the compound. The vertical motion of the punch depends on the flowability of the moulding compound and on the applied load. A moulding compound is considered as being suitably tested if its flowability is such that, a

44、fter a load application period of45s, the punch has sunk to a level between30% and70% of the original thickness of the specimen. The test load is therefore selected to meet this condition. By carrying out the test at suitable intervals after production, the maturation thickening process can be analy

45、sed, in particular the point at which this process levels out and the point at which the compound ceases to be mouldable without significant changes in the moulding conditions, the difference between these two points being the shelf life. NOTEFor unsaturated polyester resin, the dependence of this t

46、hickening on temperature is a non-linear one. Consequently, the results of tests at room temperature may not accurately reflect the performance of the material at the actual moulding conditions. 4.2 MethodII This method calls for a test specimen to be moulded in a heated mould in a press under the n

47、ormally used production conditions. The method is designed to determine the force necessary for the specimen to spread out and fill the mould within a certain time. A given mass of sheet moulding compound, cut to the required size, or bulk moulding compound is placed in the centre of the mould cavit

48、y. The moulding compound is then caused to flow and is cured at the required pressure and temperature. The mould closing force is chosen such that filling of the cavity takes10s 5s. It is important that the curing process has no effect on the flowability of the moulding compound during the time in w

49、hich the compound is filling the mould. For fast-curing compounds, therefore, a filling time of10s may be too long, and a filling time of5s may be required. During the moulding process, the mould closing force and the pressure in the moulding compound at the centre and at the rim of the cavity are measured with sensors and recorded as a function of time (seeFigure 2). An assessment of the flowability (i.e.whether it is acceptable or not) is then made from the curves thus produced. Comparison of flowability assessments from dif
