32、ard TemperatureUnless otherwise specified,the tests shall be conducted at the standard laboratory tempera-ture of 23C 6 2C (73.4F 6 3.6F). Since the sheet ormolded basic shape does not absorb water, the maintenance ofconstant humidity during testing is not important.13. Test Methods13.1 Visual and D

33、imensional InspectionEach of thesample PTFE sheets or molded basic shapes selected inaccordance with Section 10 shall be visually and dimensionallyinspected to verify their compliance with the requirements ofthe standard. Occasional superficial flaws in PTFE sheet ormolded basic shapes shall be inte

34、rpreted as neither affecting theporosity nor soundness of the molding. Such flaws arescratches, edge cracks, and the adherence of resin flakes. Suchindications shall not be cause for rejection.13.2 Tensile Strength and ElongationDetermine the ulti-mate tensile strength and elongation in accordance w

35、ith TestMethod D638 except as follows:13.2.1 Cut five micro-specimens with the steel rule die andthe dimensions shown in Fig. 1 using a hydraulic or mechani-cal press. When cutting a specimen, back it by a hard surfaceboard such as masonite or equal with a piece of thin cardboardbetween said hard su

36、rface and sample.13.2.2 Testing shall be at a speed of 50.8 mm (2 in.)/min.13.2.3 Determine elongation by using an initial jaw separa-tion of 22.2 mm (0.875 in.) and expressed as a percentage ofthe initial jaw separation.13.2.4 Alternative SpecimensWhen the shape of thesample does not permit making

37、the micro-specimen as speci-fied in 13.2.1 prepare specimens by turning a 0.8-mm (132-in.)thick-walled tube from the shape, and cutting dumbbells fromthe tube wall in a direction perpendicular to the appliedmolding pressure, that is, with the long axis of the dumbbellparallel to the circumference of

38、 the tube. Lathe-turn the tube insuch a manner that the specimen is taken from the center of theoriginal wall thickness. In the case of a rod, remove the outer1.6 mm (116 in.) before finish turning the outer diameter of theTABLE 3 Nominal Thickness and Tolerances for PTFE SheetsThicknessInchToleranc

Fromsheets 15.9 mm (58 in.) and over in th

42、ickness, a slice somewhatthicker than 1.6 mm (116 in.) shall be cut from one edge but notless than 12.7 mm (12 in.) distance from that edge and bothfaces machined to a thickness of 1.6 6 0.25 mm (116 6 0.010in.). In all cases of specimens reduced to 1.6 mm (116 in.) bymachining, tool marks shall be

43、removed by light sanding in alongitudinal direction.13.3 Dielectric StrengthDetermine the dielectric strengthin accordance with Test Method D149 using five specimensand the short-time test under oil, except as follows:13.3.1 When 25.4 mm (1 in.) specimens are used, theelectrodes shall be 63.5 mm (14

44、 in.) in diameter, with edgesrounded to a 0.8 mm (132 in.) radius.13.3.2 If the size of the molding does not permit 25.4 mm (1in.) wide specimens, 12.7 mm (12-in.) discs or strips 0.5 6 0.05mm (0.020 6 0.002 in.) thick shall be used with 1.6-mm(116-in.) diameter electrodes with rounded edges.13.3.3

45、The specimen must extend sufficiently far beyond theelectrode edge so that a flash-over does not occur.13.4 Specific GravityDetermine the specific gravity ontwo specimens in accordance with Method A of Test MethodsD792. Add two drops of a wetting agent (liquid detergent)4tothe water in order to redu

46、ce the surface tension and insurecomplete wetting of the sample.13.5 PorosityDetermine the porosity of Type I sheet ormolded shape by the penetrant test.13.5.1 ScopeThe test for porosity is to determine that themolding has received adequate pressure and temperaturethroughout.13.5.2 Significance and

47、UseThe significance of this testfor porosity is to indicate if the molding has been properlymanufactured.13.5.3 Use one full size sheet or molding for the porositytest. Degrease the entire surface on the molding with foldedpaper wiping tissues wet with a suitable cleaner.5Remove theexcess cleaner an

48、d permit the surface to dry for at least 5 min.13.5.4 Deposit a film of penetrant5on the entire surface ofthe molding and allow to stand for 5 min. If the penetrantappears to dry prematurely, rewet the surface with penetrantand allow to dry for 1 min longer. Then, remove the penetrantby wiping with

49、a tissue and scrub the entire surface thoroughlywith tissues wet with cleaner.13.5.5 When dry, inspect entire surface for indication ofdiscoloration caused by the penetrant. Retained areas ofpenetrant that appear cloudy or hazy indicate porosity. Occa-sional superficial flaws in PTFE sheet or moldings shall not beinterpreted as porosity.13.5.6 Precision and BiasThe precision and bias for thispenetrant-die test will be determined.13.6 Dimensional StabilityDetermine the thermal dimen-sional change o
