ASTM C424-1993(2016) Standard Test Method for Crazing Resistance of Fired Glazed Whitewares by Autoclave Treatment《用热压处理法测定焙烧卫生釉瓷抗破裂性的标准试验方法》.pdf

1、Designation: C424 93 (Reapproved 2016)Standard Test Method forCrazing Resistance of Fired Glazed Whitewares byAutoclave Treatment1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C424; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revis

2、ion, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () 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 using t

3、he 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, associated

4、 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 exhibit

5、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 pressure o

6、f 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 gaugemeasuring pressure above atmospheric pressure with an accu-racy of 65 psi (34 kPa), and a source of heat of suffi

7、cientcapacity 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, specifica

8、lly 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 the

9、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 in thebott

10、om 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 exceedi

11、ng1 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 only

12、, the blow-off valve should becracked only and the steam released slowly over a period of30 min. If this method of steam release is used, the report shallso state.5.3 Removal of Specimens from AutoclaveLoosen theautoclave head and allow the specimens to cool in place for30 min. Remove the specimens

13、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 onl

14、y those failuresvisible to the naked eye.5.5 Pressure ScheduleMake the initial test at 50 psi(345 kPa). If any or all of the specimens show no crazing,repeat the test on the uncrazed pieces at 100 psi (689 kPa) and,if necessary, at increasing intervals of 50 psi until all specimens1This test method

United States1have crazed or until a pressure of 250 psi (1.7 MPa) has beenreached. Successive tests shall be separated by a time in

17、tervalnot exceeding 24 h. If it is desired to use this procedure inconjunction with a product specification, the test may belimited to one or more of these specified pressures.6. Report6.1 Report the following information:6.1.1 Identification of specimens.6.1.2 Number of specimens tested.6.1.3 Ident

19、ailing at thatpressure and dividing the sum of these products by the totalnumber of pieces tested (specimens having withstood the200-psi (1.4-MPa) test shall be said to have failed at 250 psi(1.7 MPa) for the purpose of calculation), and6.1.6 Time consumed for steam release, if the pressure wasnot r
