2、case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method describes procedures to determine thehydrogen embrittlement (HE) resis

3、tance of hard drawn steelwire used for prestressing concrete pipe.1.2 HE resistance is reported as time-to-failure of specimenstested in a laboratory.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 This standard does no

Summary of Test Method3.1 Characterization of HE resistance of hard-drawn steelwire is accomplished by determining the time-to-failure of awire specimen under a maintained consta

6、nt tensile force, whileimmersed in a heated solution of ammonium thiocyanate(NH4SCN). The load, the solution temperature, and length oftime in the test are continuously monitored.4. Significance and Use4.1 Hard-drawn steel wire as used in prestressing concretepipe may be exposed to elemental hydroge

7、n favorable tohydrogen induced embrittlement and cracking. Resistance tohydrogen embrittlement is necessary for prestressing wire toprovide long-term performance to installed pipe.4.2 The length of time that a stressed wire specimen resistsfailure while exposed to a heated solution of NH4SCN, is ani

8、ndication of the specimens resistance to hydrogen embrittle-ment.5. Apparatus5.1 Test CellThe test cell shall contain the test solutionand the wire specimen and be constructed of material which isinert to NH4SCN (as shown in Fig. 1). The test cell shall becylindrical with an inside diameter sufficie

9、nt to provide aminimum of 5 mL of solution per 100 mm2(2 in.3per in.2)ofwire specimen surface area in contact with the solution. Thetest cell length shall allow the exposure of a minimum testsample length of 150 mm (6 in.) to the test solution. The testcell shall be so designed that the wire specime

10、n passes throughit and is sufficiently exposed outside the end of the cell as toallow application of a tensile force to the specimen.5.2 ChronometerA chronometer with a precision of atleast 6 1 min. and capable of being stopped automatically onfracture of the sample shall be used.5.3 Tensile Force F

11、rameA closed stiff frame, in eitherhorizontal or vertical orientation, shall be employed to positionthe test cell such that a constant tensile force shall be appliedto the test specimen and maintained. The tensile force shall beaccomplished through use of a dead weight, or hydraulicloading system eq

12、uipped with a force indicator.6. Reagents and Materials6.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents conform to the specifications of the Committee onAnalytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society wheresuch

13、specifications are available. Other grades may be used,provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficientlyhigh purity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy ofthe determination.6.2 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated, referencesto water shall be understood to mean re
