2、 Application The intent of this test method is to determine the sealing ability, solvent resistance, and general integrity of impregnation materials as applied to actual impregnated components. There shall be two classes of impregnation materials included under this test method: anaerobic, and therm

3、oset resins. Scope The procedure contains two Impregnation Methods for preparing samples - 2a and 2b. Method 2a consists of impregnating specimens in a laboratory autoclave so that comparisons can be made of the integrity of different impregnation materials under controlled conditions. Method 2b use

4、s the same environmental and solvent resistance test schedules, but is performed on specimens which have been impregnated in actual production impregnation processes to ensure that the production parts will have acceptable pressure tightness.

20、nditioning and Test Conditions All test values indicated herein are based on material conditioned in a controlled atmosphere of 23 + 2 C and 50 + 5 % relative humidity for not less than 24 hours prior to testing under the same conditions unless otherwise specified. Procedure 1. Preparation of Test S

21、pecimens - Thirty test rings shall be carefully cleaned in an ultrasonic bath of Laboratory Alcohol to remove any loose particles from test rings, and then thoroughly dried. The parts must then be inspected for burrs or imperfections that may impede the impregnation process. Each test specimen shall

22、 be scribed with an Identification Number, which gives each specimen a unique number, and also describes the material being tested. An example specimen from the lot of test pieces shall then be pressurized to 345 kPa and checked for leak-down rate. This “Pre-impregnation“ leak-down rate should be gr

23、eater than 100-ml/ minute, and shall describe the leak rate for the lot. Record the “Pre-impregnation“ Leak down Rate in ml/minute. 2a. Impregnation of Test Specimens - This procedure shall cover the impregnation of test specimens in a controlled laboratory environment to enable valid comparisons to

24、 be made of the performance of the various materials in prescribed environments. The samples shall be impregnated in a small Laboratory unit, using the process shown in Table II.

The supplier who is requesting approval of their impregnation p

27、rocess shall place the thirty prepared test rings in with their regular production parts. The test rings shall be placed in the production load and processed as specified by the manufacturer of the equipment, and the manufacturer of the Anaerobic and Thermal Cure Resin materials.

28、then be submitted to the Ford Central Laboratory or Ford approved outside laboratory for environmental testing to this Ford Laboratory Test Method. FORD LABORATORY TEST METHOD BV 131-01 Page 7 of 8 Copyright 2000, Ford Global Technologies, Inc. After the specimens are impregnated with sealant, the t

29、op and bottom surfaces may be lightly sanded to flatten surfaces and create a good seal against the O-rings of the test fixture (see Figure 2). All thirty specimens from the lot of test pieces shall then be pressurized to 345 kPa and checked for “Post-impregnation“ leak-down rate. This leak-down rat

30、e should be less than 20-ml/minute. Record the “Post-impregnation“ Leak Down Rate in ml/minute for each specimen. 3.

42、 Testing of Specimens Each test piece can only be tested once, and must be pressurized and test begun immediately after being immersed in water. 1. Place test piece in fixture and carefully seal O-rings to top and bottom of test sample by pressing down on fixture handle (Figure 2). 2. Apply 345 kPa

43、pressure to part, and immerse in water tank. 3. If bubbles are appearing from top or bottom of part at O-ring, immediately extract test fixture from tank, and readjust/replace the O-rings. 4. Once the part is fully sealed, replace into the tank and position the funnel of the burette over the part, r

44、ecord initial burette reading, and begin timing immediately (part should not be exposed to water for more than 1 minute before timing begins). 5. After 1 minute, re-read the burette and determine the amount of water displacement in ml, due to air leakage from the test sample. 6. Record the average flow rate for one minute. 7. The acceptance criteria shall be met if all three test specimens of a given test have a recorded leak rate that is less than a maximum of 20 ml/minute.
