1、Designation: C 421 08Standard Test Method forTumbling Friability of Preformed Block-Type and PreformedPipe-Covering-Type Thermal Insulation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 421; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the ca

2、se 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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This tes

3、t method covers determination of the mass lossof preformed block-type and preformed pipe-covering-typethermal insulation as a result of a combination of abrasion andimpact produced by a laboratory tumbling mechanism.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard.

It is used for com-paring the mass loss by tumbl

Apparatus5.1 BoxA cubical box of oak wood, having inside dimen-sions of 712 by 734 by 734 in. (190 by 197 by 197 mm),mounted rigidly at the center of one 734 by 734 in. (197 by 197mm) e

9、nd, so that the axis normal to a face of the box is that ofa rotatable horizontal shaft. One side of the box shall be hingedas a door and shall be gasketed to be dust-tight. The box shaftshall be motor driven at a constant speed of 60 6 2 r/min.5.2 CubesTwenty-four room-dry, solid oak,34 6132-in.(19

10、 6 0.8-mm) cubes shall be placed in the box with the testspecimens. The specific gravity of the oak cubes shall beapproximately 0.65; white oak meets this requirement.NOTE 1Number each group of wood cubes 1 through 24. At the endof every 600-revolution test, remove one “used” cube (follow the number

11、sequence and remove the oldest cube) and replace with a correspondinglynumbered “new” cube. In this manner, cube wear is eliminated as anuncontrolled variable in the test method. When the corners of the woodcubes have been worn so that the radius of curvature is greater than116 in.(1.6 mm) or the cu

12、bes have become altered so as not to be comparablewith new cubes, they shall be discarded and new ones used. A conven-tional machinists radius gage is used for checking the edge wear.6. Test Specimens6.1 Cut the insulation with a fine-tooth saw (similar to a16-tooth band saw) into 1 6116-in. (25.4 6

When flat insulation has special surfaces due totreatment or molding, cut each cube to include such specialsurfaces as one face, except that the edges and corners of theinsulation shall not be used.6.3 Dry and condition
