21、ty O Introduction The air flow permeability of cellular materials indicates, in an indirect manner, some of their structural properties. It may be used to establish correlations between the structure of these materials and some of their physical properties. It also enables identification of the modi

22、fications to cellular structures pro- duced by chemical agents used in foaming, for example catalysts or surfactants. This International Standard is, therefore, useful for two pur- Poses: a) in studying the structure of cellular products in connec- tion with their physical properties and their metho

23、d of manufacture; b) in ensuring product quality (quality assurance). NOTE - Details of publications relating to flow behaviour in both laminar and turbulent conditions are given in a bibliography. 1 Scope and field of application This International Standard specifies a method for the deter- minatio

24、n of the permeability of flexible cellular polymeric materials to air flow. It is applicable to test pieces cut from products of cellular material. NOTE - IS0 7231, po/vmericr meterias, Cellular flexible - Method of assessment of air flow velue at constant pressure drop,11 specifies a simple quality

25、 control method which is also based on the flow of air through cellular materials. This can be used when it is not the intention to calculate the intrinsic properties of various materials in order to com- pare them, but merely to control the quality of a given cellular material. 2 References IS0 471

In the absence of precise data on this subject, it is sufficient to use several very low air flow rates of the order of cen

32、timetres per second, on a single type of material, to verify that K does not vary or varies only slightly, with changes in u (see 9.1). 4.2 Specific air flow resistance, R, is a parameter derived from the permeability of a material, used particularly in the field of acoustics, and is derived from pe

33、rmeability by the equation R, =- rl K It is expressed in pascal seconds per square metre (Pa.s-m-*). 4.3 Air flow resistance, R, is related to the thickness of the material 6, whether it is homogeneous or not (it may even con- sist of a skinned surface or a coating which is more or less porous, such

34、 as paint etc.). If the material is homogeneous it is proportional to the specific air flow resistance by the relation- ship R = B-R, In every case, R can be derived directly from Darcys law which is then written 4v Lp I R, u =- =- The inverse relationship R, = R/6 can only be used to calcu- late R

35、if the material is homogeneous. Air flow resistance is expressed in pascal seconds per metre (Pa-s.m-1). 5 Apparatus The apparatus consists of a measurement cell into which the test piece may be placed, and means for production of a steady flow of air, for measuring the volumetric air flow rate, for

36、 measuring the pressure drop and for measuring the thickness of the test piece when positioned for the test. An example of a suitable apparatus is shown schematically in figure 2. It shall include the following elements. 5.1 Measurement cell The measurement cell shall be in the shape of a parallelep

37、iped or a cylinder. An example of a cylindrical measurement cell is illustrated in fQure 3. If the shape is cylindrical, an internal diameter between 50 and 120 mm is suitable (cross-section between 20 and 110 cd). For parallelepipeds, the preferred cross-section is a square of side between 45 and 1

38、)5 mm, corresponding to the same limits of cross-sectional area as for the cylindrical shape. The total height of the cell shall be at least 100 mm greater than the thickness of the test piece. For tests other than for quality assurance, it is useful to make allowance for the use of test pieces of d

39、iffering thicknesses, not exceeding half the total height of the measurement cell. NOTE - Experience has shown that, for certain cellular products, it is necessary to use test pieces of thicknesses of the order of 100 mm, and a sufficiently deep measurement cell is therefore necessary. The test piec

40、e shall rest inside the measurement cell on a per- forated support positioned 50 mm above the base of the cell. This support shall have a minimum open proportion of 70 % of its overall area, evenly distributed. The tapping points for the measurement of pressure and air flow shall be leak free and ar

41、ranged below the level of the per- forated support. NOTE - Calculations in 8.6 are facilitated if the area of the test piece is standardized at 25 or 100 cm2 156.5 or 113 mm diameter; square of side 50 or 100 mm). Then u, in metres per second, is equal to 400 4“or 100 qydepending on whether the smal

42、l or the large test piece is used. Calculations in .clause 9 are facilitated if the area of the test piece is standardized at 18,5 cd 148.5 mm diameter ; square of side 45 mm) and the thickness of the test piece is 100 mm. Then 5.2 Means of providing air flow 5.2.1 Source It is recommended that pres

43、sure depression systems, of the water reservoir or vacuum pump type, should be. used. Alter- natively, pressurization systems fair compressor, etc.) may be used. Whatever source is used, the installation shall permit fine control of the flow and shall ensure the stability of the flow in the lower pa

44、rt of the test cell. 5.2.2 Characteristics of the flow The source shall provide a volumetric air flow rate, qv , equal to UA cubic metres per second. The area chosen for the cell,.A, shall be within the limits in- dicated in 5.1 and the source shall permit air flow velocitik up to 50 mm-s“ to be obt

45、ained. For example, for cylindrical specimens of diameters between 50 and 120 mm, and with an air flow velocity of the order of m-s- l, the volumetric air flow rate through the apparatus will be approximately between 1 dr b) if studying a new material, or for particular applications, kshould be exam

46、ined for the maintenance of a substantially constant value within any part of the field of variation of u, and this value used as representative of the material. In both cases, the result shall be given in the form of a mean value R, to two significant figures. For the former purpose, the arithmetic

47、 mean value K obtained on the group of test pieces, together with the mean value of the apparent density, u = 0,010 mms-; a = 35 kg-m-3. For the latter purpose, the arithmetic mean value of K obtained on the group of test pieces within a given range of velocities shall be quoted together with the me

48、an value of the apparent density, B. Example: R = 2,5 x IO-* m2; for 0,005 u 0.02 m-s“; 6, = 40 kg-m-3. The results can equally well be- expressed in terms of the specific resistance R, instead of K. If is being determined for acoustic purposes, the value of Ror R, extrapolated graphically to a velo
