1、Designation: C 424 93 (Reapproved 2006)Standard Test Method forCrazing Resistance of Fired Glazed Whitewares byAutoclave Treatment1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 424; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of rev
2、ision, 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 covers the determination of the crazingresistance of fired glazed whitewares usin
3、g the autoclavetreatment and under the conditions specified in this testmethod.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associa
4、ted with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Significance and Use2.1 This test method is particularly useful for porous mate-rials that can exhib
5、it moisture expansion.2.2 This test method is a primary test method that is suitablefor use in specifications, quality control, and research anddevelopment. It can also serve as a referee test method inpurchasing contracts or agreements.3. Apparatus3.1 AutoclaveAn autoclave built for a steam pressur
6、e of atleast 275 psi (1.9 MPa), and preferably with sufficient capacityto contain at least ten specimens. The apparatus shall beequipped with a safety valve, a blow-off valve, pressure gagemeasuring pressure above atmospheric pressure with an accu-racy of 65 psi (34 kPa), and a source of heat of suf
7、ficientcapacity to ensure a constant steam pressure within theautoclave.4. Number of Specimens4.1 The crazing test shall be made on at least ten identicaluncut specimens having facial dimensions up to and including6 by 6 in. (152 by 152 mm) or 6 by 8 in. (152 by 200 mm). Forlarger specimens, specifi
8、cally tile products, five samples willsuffice and these may be cut to facilitate entry into theautoclave. However, all cut pieces should be as large aspossible and all cut pieces are to be tested.5. Procedure5.1 Placement of Specimens in the AutoclavePlace asufficient amount of distilled water in th
9、e autoclave so that afterthe test a slight excess of water will remain. Place allspecimens on a suitable support at least 2 in. (51 mm) abovethe water line within the autoclave at room temperature. Fastenthe autoclave head securely in place.5.2 Operation of AutoclaveGradually heat the water inthe bo
10、ttom of the autoclave. Keep the blow-off valve open forseveral minutes after steam begins to escape, thereby expellingmost of the air. After closing the blow-off valve, increase thesteam pressure at a uniform rate until the desired pressure isreached within a period of not less than 45 min nor excee
11、ding1 h. Apply sufficient heat to maintain the indicated pressureconstant (62 psi (14 kPa) for an additional hour. Shut off theheat source and release the steam pressure immediately byopening the blow-off valve.5.2.1 If it is desirable to ascertain whether failure occurs asa result of rehydration on
12、ly, the blow-off valve should becracked only and the steam released slowly over a period of 30min. If this method of steam release is used, the report shall sostate.5.3 Removal of Specimens from AutoclaveLoosen theautoclave head and allow the specimens to cool in place for 30min. Remove the specimen
13、s and allow to cool at roomtemperature for an additional 30 min before examination.5.4 Examination of Specimens for Crazing FailuresUseoblique lighting and the application of a suitable ink or dyesolution upon the glazed surfaces to aid in the detection andexamination of crazing failures. Consider o
14、nly those failuresvisible to the naked eye.5.5 Pressure ScheduleMake the initial test at 50 psi (345kPa). If any or all of the specimens show no crazing, repeat thetest on the uncrazed pieces at 100 psi (689 kPa) and, ifnecessary, at increasing intervals of 50 psi until all specimenshave crazed or u
15、ntil a pressure of 250 psi (1.7 MPa) has beenreached. Successive tests shall be separated by a time interval1This test method is under jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C21 on CeramicWhitewares and Related Products and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeC21.03 on Methods for Whitewares and Env
