2、ion. 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 method2covers the measurement of the resis-tance of a porcelain enamel to a hot solution of tetrasodiumpyrophosphate.
3、 Although the specific alkali mentioned hereinis tetrasodium pyrophosphate the equipment and techniques areequally applicable to other alkali solutions.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of thi
4、s 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 intended specifically for testing theresistance to alkaline attack of porcelain enamels to be used asa final finish
5、on washing machines, dishwashers, combinationwasher-dryers, and similar appliances where the surface isnormally exposed to an alkaline environment at elevatedtemperatures.3.

10、mens5.1 Preparation of Specimens The test specimens shallbe 312 in. (89 mm) square and may be prepared by enamelingmetal blanks of that size or by cutting from a larger piece.Hanging holes, if necessary for firing or weighing or both, maybe placed at the corners. The specimens shall be sufficiently
11、flatto permit sealing in the holders. The edges of cut specimensshall be stoned or filed to remove any sharp or loosely adheringfragments of metal or porcelain enamel. It is recommended thatthe specimens be permanently marked on the back side foridentification.5.2 Number of SpecimensSix specimens sh
12、all be testedsimultaneously.5.3 Cleaning of Specimens Before Alkali ExposureThespecimens shall be rinsed with running tap water and washedwith a soft cellulose sponge dampened with a 1 % solution oftrisodium phosphate. A light pressure and a back-and-forthmotion in two directions, 90 apart, shall be
13、 used in thewashing.After washing, the specimens shall be rinsed first withrunning tap water, next with distilled water and then allowed todrain in a near vertical position prior to oven-drying at 110Cfor 15 min. The specimens shall be cooled in a desiccator for30 min prior to weighing.5.4 Weighing
14、of Test SpecimensThe specimens shall beweighed immediately upon removal from the desiccator.Weights shall be recorded to 0.0001 g. The weighed specimensshall be stored in a desiccator until tested.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee B08 on Metallicand Inorganic Coatings and

Procedure6.1 Preparation of Test SolutionPrepare the test solutionby adding 260 g of tetrasodium pyrophosphate to 4.940 litresof distilled water. Pour the entire amount of prepared solutioninto the b
18、eaker and cover the rectangular slots with lids. Use afreshly prepared solution for each set of six specimens.6.2 Preheating Test SolutionPlace the temperature con-troller and stirrer in operation and preheat the solution to 96C.Heating may be expedited by placing the beaker on a hot plateor over a
19、gas burner. When a temperature near 96C has beenreached, remove the beaker from the hot plate and place on aninsulated surface. Allow an equilibration period of 15 min forall parts of the equipment to achieve a stable temperature, andadjustment of the control point to yield the desired tempera-ture.
20、6.3 Preparation for Alkali Exposure Place two clean,weighed specimens in each specimen-holder box. Shims maybe useful in the bottom of the specimen boxes to center thespecimens vertically about the exposure openings. Back-upeach specimen with a stress distributing aluminum alloybacking sheet and ins
21、ert the clamping device between the twosheets. Tighten the clamping device only enough to give aleakproof seal. Test the seal by filling the specimen box withwater to confirm the absence of leaks. Next, remove the waterand preheat the specimen holder assembly in an oven at 110Cfor about 15 min.6.4 E
22、xposure of SpecimensWhen the test solution hasreached 96C and is under control, remove the lids and insertpreheated specimen holder assemblies in the proper openings.Expose six specimens for6hat966 0.20C. The exposuretime shall start upon insertion of the specimen holders and shallend with their wit
23、hdrawal. After removal from the holdersclean, dry and weigh the specimens as specified in 5.3 and 5.4.6.5 Measurement of Exposed AreaCalculate the area ofthe etched portion of the specimen using the average of twodiameters, approximately 90 apart, which have been measuredto the nearest 0.01 in. (0.2
24、5 mm).7. Calculation7.1 Calculate the weight loss for each specimen as follows:L, mg/in.25 B C! 3 103/D (1)orL, mg/cm25 B C! 3 103/E (2)where:L = weight loss,B = original weight of specimen, g,C = final weight of specimen, g,D = area of etched attack, in.2(0.155 3 cm2), andE = area of etched attack,
25、 cm2(6.45 3 in.2).8. Treatment of Data8.1 Single DeterminationSix specimens shall constitute asample. The average of six values of weight loss (L), shall betermed the mean weight loss, L, for the sample. The statisticalerror of the determination shall be computed by the use of theequation:e 5 1.15 s
26、 (3)NOTE 1Test solution is in stainless steel beaker.FIG. 1 Alkali Equipment in OperationC 614 74 (2005)2where:e = the statistical error of the mean value for the sample,at the 95 % confidence level, ands = the standard deviation of the six individual weightlosses from the average of all six weights
27、.NOTE 1The factor 1.15 is applied only when the number of specimensis six, and the confidence level is 95 %.8.1.1 This standard deviation shall be computed from thegeneralized equation:s5=(X2/n! X2(4)or if the number of specimens, n, is six, from:s5=(X2/6! X2(5)where:(X2= sum of the squares of the w
28、eight loss values of thesix individual specimens, andX2= the square of the mean weight loss of the sixspecimens.8.1.2 Illustrative calculations are given below.
