Thoroughly instruct all operators in the proper way to conduct tests safely. Whenmaking high voltage tests, particularly in compressed gas or in oil, th

23、e energy released at breakdown may be suffcient to resultin fire, explosion, or rupture of the test chamber. Design test equipment, test chambers, and test specimens so as to minimize thepossibility of such occurrences and to eliminate the possibility of personal injury. See Section 28.5.2 Toxic Che

(60.005 mm) of the values listed as maxima and minima in Table 1.Aset of two gages (“go” and “no go”) is required for eachsize of tubing.NOTE 3Tap

29、ered steel gages as described in Test Methods D876 may be used as an alternate. These gages are not practical, however, for tubing smallerthan Size No. 20.10.

30、imens.11. Procedure11.1 Insert the minimum gage rod for the size tubing under test into the specimen for a distance of at least 1 in. (25 mm) ifpossible, noting whether the rod is easily inserted and withdrawn without appreciable force. If the rod cannot be readily insertedand removed, consider the

31、specimen as having an inside diameter less than the minimum.11.2 Select a gage rod having the maximum size for the tubing under test. Attempt to insert the gage rod into the tubing. If therod can be easily inserted to a distance of 1 in., the tubing has an inside diameter that exceeds the specified

32、maximum. If the rodcannot be readily inserted, the tubing has an inside diameter less than the maximum specified.12.

40、method.WALL THICKNESS14. Significance and Use14.1 The wall thickness provides design data. It is also useful in computing certain physical and electrical properties of thetubing.15. Apparatus15.1 Dial MicrometerFor Size No. 22 and larger, use a dial micrometer4 equipped with a rod support for the sp

41、ecimen anda chisel-edge plunger. Use a gage with a minimum graduation of 0.0005 in. (0.01 mm) and a gaging load not exceeding 25 g. Usea rod made of hardened steel 0.020 in. (0.50 mm) in diameter and 38 in. (9.5 mm) long. Ensure that the chisel edge of the plungeris flat and approximately 0.043 in.

42、(1.1 mm) across and 516 in. (8 mm) long.15.2 MicroscopeFor Size No. 24 and smaller, use an optical means such as a toolmakers microscope.16. Test Specimens16.1 Cut five 12-in. (13-mm) specimens free from kinks from the sample. Make the cut edge perpendicular to the longitudinalaxis of the sample.17.

43、 Procedure17.1 For Size No. 22 and larger, measure the wall thickness of the specimen using the rod and chisel apparatus by raising thechisel from the rod and placing the specimen on the rod in such a manner that the rod passes through the center of the tubingspecimen and rests flatly against the up

44、per inside wall of the specimen. Gently lower the flat chisel edge until it rests lightly onthe upper outside wall of the specimen. Rotate the tubing and determine the minimum and maximum wall thickness. The averageof these two readings is the wall thickness of the specimen.17.2 For Size No. 24 and

45、smaller, use a reference method employing optical means acceptable to both the manufacturer and thepurchaser to determine the maximum and minimum wall thickness.18. Report18.1 Report the following information:18.1.1 Nominal size or number of the tubing, and18.1.2 Minimum, maximum, and average wall t

No activity has been planned to develop such information. This test method has no bias becausethe value for wall

47、 thickness is determined solely in terms of this test method.VOLATILE LOSS20. Significance and Use20.1 Volatile loss is indicative of the efficiency of removal of volatiles during processing, and may indicate the presence ofundesirable organic materials.21. Apparatus21.1 Analytical Balance, capable

48、of weighing to the nearest 0.001 g.21.2 Oven, forced-convection type, capable of maintaining the temperature set point to the tolerances shown in the procedure.21.3 Desiccator.4 Adial-type micrometer, Gage Model 57B-3, manufactured by Federal Products Corp., 1144 Eddy St., Providence, RI 02901, has

49、been found satisfactory for this purpose.D1675 18422. Test Specimens22.1 Cut three specimens in full section from the sample in a manner such that each specimen is at least 10 in. (250 mm) longand weighs at least 2 g.23. Procedure23.1 (WarningSee 5.2.)23.2 Dry three specimens in an oven at 105 6 2.5C (220 6 4.5F) for 1 h, cool in a desiccator, and weigh immediately uponremoval. Then, place the specimens on a horizontal support in an oven without touching each other or the sides of the oven, makingcertain to keep the spec
