Scope1.1 This test method covers the procedure for the determi-nation of the magnetic rating of asbestos f

3、iber and asbestostextile products. This test method is used primarily for testingasbestos insulating materials.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem sh

A10-g specimen has one unitmagnetic rating when it produces a magnetic effect equivalentto that of 0.18 g of standard magnetite as described above.Conversely, a 10-g specimen producing a magnetic effect suchthat the resulting induced current in the magnetic analyzergalvanomete

Summary of Test Method4.1 The unknown electromagnetic effects of a sample ofasbestos-containing material is compared with those of areference standard in a magnetic analyzer. The induct

20、iveimbalance caused by the magnetic particles in the asbestossamples is amplified and measured with the magnetic analyzer.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method for the determination of magneticrating is considered satisfactory for acceptance testing ofcommercial shipments of asbestos fibers, p

21、apers, felts, yarns,rovings, textile products, rigid sheet products, and granular orpowdered products.5.2 Magnetic rating is one of the measurements used fordetermining the suitability of an asbestos material for electricalinsulation.5.3 The electrical insulating properties of asbestos materialsvary

22、 inversely with the magnetic rating. Therefore, a lowmagnetic iron content is required for good electrical insulating.5.4 The types of asbestos textiles classified by magneticrating are described in Specification D2100.6.

Preparation of Apparatus9.1 For Mapes type analyzers, energize the apparatus andpermit it to warm up for 20 min to become stable. Then balancethe secondary coils with the balancing coil until the deflectionof the indicating instrume

38、nt is a minimum at full sensitivity.9.2 For Turner & Newall6type analyzers, turn the sensitiv-ity switch S1A to the MR6 position (see Fig. A2.3), andenergize the apparatus with a 115-V, 60 Hz supply. Balance theapparatus by adjusting the balance screw to bring the galva-nometer deflection to zero. T

39、hrow the sensitivity switch to theMR1 position, and rebalance the apparatus, locking the bal-ancing screw in place.10. Calibration and Standardization10.1 For Mapes type analyzers, proceed as in A1.5 toA1.8.7 of Annex A1.10.2 For Turner & Newall6type analyzers, proceed as inA2.8 to A2.8.2 of Annex A

40、2.11. Conditioning11.1 Condition all samples (without preconditioning) for aminimum period of 4 h, or until the material shows noprogressive change in mass of more than 0.1 % after anexposure of an additional 0.5 h, in an atmosphere having arelative humidity of 50 6 2 % at 21 6 1C.12. Procedure12.1

41、Using Mapes Type Apparatus:12.1.1 Set the analyzer to give full-scale deflection with anMR6 standard, and insert the test specimen holder adjusting itsposition to produce maximum response.12.1.2 Note the galvanometer reading.12.1.3 If a voltage divider is fitted, and if the galvanometerreading is le

42、ss than half scale, then switch the divider to theappropriate scale, calibrate with the corresponding standard,and determine the magnetic rating of the test specimen underthese conditions.12.1.4 Repeat the above procedure for the other four speci-mens.12.2 Using Turner & Newall6Type Apparatus:12.2.1

43、 Start with the selector switch in position 10 toestablish the proper testing range and carefully insert theloaded specimen tube into the apparatus as far as it will go. Ifthe reading exceeds 3.0 on the upper set of graduations of themeter scale, record the indicated reading as the MR of thespecimen

44、 to the nearest 0.2 MR unit, otherwise proceed asfollows:12.2.1.1 When the reading in 12.2.1 is less than 3.0, turn theswitch to the 3-MR range. If the reading exceeds 1.0 on thelower set of graduations, record the indicated reading as theMR of the specimen to the nearest 0.1 MR unit.12.2.1.2 When t

45、he reading in 12.2.1.1 is less than 1.0, turnthe switch to 1-MR range. If the reading exceeds 0.3 on theupper set of graduations, record the indicated reading as theMR of the specimen to the nearest 0.02 MR unit.12.2.1.3 When the reading in 12.2.1.2 is less than 0.3, turnthe switch to 0.3-MR range a

46、nd record the indicated reading onthe lower set of graduations as the MR of the specimen to thenearest 0.01 MR unit.12.2.2 After obtaining a reading in the above manner,remove the specimen tube, verify the zero point, and recheckthe calibration using the appropriate magnetic calibrationstandard for

47、that range. Reinsert the specimen tube and verifythe MR value of the specimen.12.2.3 Proceed as directed in 12.2.1 and 12.2.2 on theremaining specimens.NOTE 2The procedure here described is applicable only under thoseconditions wherein the magnetic particles being tested exhibit no direc-tional prop

48、erties or when the particle distribution is such as to give theultimate in random orientation. The magnetic particles present in chryso-tile asbestos, however, are most frequently needle-like or acicular, and assuch exhibit directional properties with regard to magnetic permeability.Therefore, there

49、 must be an understanding as to the extent of the fibrouscharacteristics and the grain size distribution of the magnetic particlespresent in the sample under test if a proper evaluation of the resultingmagnetic rating is to be truly factual. In view of the fibrous characteristicsof the magnetic particles and the resultant directional magnetic properties,the method of sample preparation and the placement of the sample in thesample holder must be carefully pursued in an endeavor to obtain a tes
