3、his test method gives a procedure for the evaluation ofthe strength-giving properties of asbestos fibers used to rein-force asbestos-cement products.1.2 The purpose of this test method is to determine thenumber of strength units that may be assigned to the sampletested.1.3 Asbestos fiber possesses t
4、he ability to impart strength toan asbestos-cement product. Every fiber grade may be regardedas possessing a certain quantity of strength-giving units. Thequantity of fiber required in an asbestos-cement compositionvaries inversely with the number of strength units it possesses.For example, if an am
5、ount, designated by X, of a fiberpossessing 100 strength units produces a product of a givenstrength, 2X would be required to produce a product ofequivalent strength from fiber possessing only 50 strengthunits.1.4 The following definition is the basis for the strength unittest: An asbestos fiber tha
6、t gives the standard strength at thestandard density when used as 10 % of the furnish is defined ashaving 100 strength units. Therefore, by knowing the percentfiber required in the mix to give standard strength at thestandard density, it is possible to calculate the strength units ofa sample of asbe

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 point value, n in asbestos, an index of commercialvalue of asbesto
18、s fiber used in asbestos-cement products. Pointvalue = (SU-10)/1.39 where SU stands for strength units.3.1.2 strength unit, n in asbestos, unit of reinforcingpotential of asbestos fiber in asbestos-cement products. Anasbestos fiber that yields a flexural modulus of rupture of 27MPa at a product dens
19、ity of 1.6 g/cm3when used as 10 % ofthe furnish (dry ingredients) is defined as having 100 strengthunits. Therefore, the number of strength units of a givenasbestos is equal to 1000/(% fiber required in the dry mix toyield 27 MPa at 1.6 g/cm3).3.1.3 Refer to Terminology D2946 for other terms relatin

The calculation ofstrength units of the asbestos, based upon the flexural strength,density and compositi
21、on of the test specimens, is also de-scribed.4.2 The specimen fabrication process includes the followingsteps:4.2.1 Asbestos fiber preparation, including ball milling,fiberizing, and blending.4.2.2 Compounding, including dry mixing, the preparationof saturated water, and wet mixing.4.2.3 Test specim
22、en formation, including the pressing ofasbestos-cement cakes in a semi-automatic press.4.2.4 Specimen curing, including a stage in a humiditycabinet, autoclaving, air cooling, and saturating in a water bath.4.3 Specimen testing, including the determination of im-mersed mass, saturated mass, flexural
23、 strength, specimenthickness and width, and dry mass.4.4 Calculations, involving the determination of specimenvolume, modulus of rupture, density, modulus of ruptureadjusted for density, asbestos fiber content required to attainstandard strength, fiber ratio required, point value, and strengthunits.
24、5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method facilitates the comparison of differenttypes and grades of chrysotile asbestos by the property mostpertinent to its use in asbestos-cement, namely, the strength orreinforcing value it imparts to the product.5.2 While similar comparative results could be ob
25、tained onany given production equipment, this method allows the testingof small samples, avoids costly interruptions in production fornumerous trial runs, and allows test values to be obtained by asingle standard method so that results can be compared amongdifferent locations.5.3 Strength Unit (SU)
26、value of a fiber blend used inasbestos-cement products may be estimated by taking theproportionate SU value of each component of the fiber blend.5.4 If the fiber blend is formulated with the aim to optimizeanother fiber property such as filterability, the SU calculationwill assure that the blend wil
27、l not fall below an acceptablestrength level.5.5 This test method is restricted to grades of asbestos usedin asbestos-cement products. Very long (Group 3) fibers aredifficult to evaluate by this method because the test specimensproduced may not be sufficiently homogeneous. Similarly, veryshort (Grou
28、p 7) grades may not be retained satisfactorily in themold during the pressing of test specimens or may not providesufficient strength to meet the test requirements.NOTE 1The term Group 3 or 7 refers to the standard designation forchrysotile asbestos grades established by the Quebec Asbestos MiningAs
