1、Designation: D3902 90 (Reapproved 2012)Standard Test Method forRubber Hose for Gas Diffusion of Liquefied Petroleum Gas1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3902; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the

2、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 volumeof liquefied petroleum gas diffusing through the wall o

3、f a hoseduring a specified period of time.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety an

4、d health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.A specific precau-tionary statement is given in the note in Section 5.2. Significance and Use2.1 Rubber hose has an inherent characteristic of permittingdiffusion of a gas through the hose structure. This test

5、 methodquantitatively measures the loss of liquefied petroleum gas.3. Apparatus3.1 Water Bath, long enough to accommodate the gas-collecting apparatus and hose.3.2 Gas Supply, provided with a suitable pressure gage andemergency excess flow shutoff valve in case of hose failure.3.3 Set of Gas-Collect

6、ing Apparatus, consisting of a glasstube at least 10 % longer than the hose being tested and with aninside diameter at least 10 % larger than the outside diameter ofthe hose being tested, a conical funnel 25 mm in diameter, anda 500-cm3measuring cylinder graduated at 5.0-cm3intervals.3.4 Barometer,

7、to record the barometric pressure during thetest.3.5 Thermometers, two, to record water and air temperatureat the gas-collection point.

8、. Test Hose4.1 The test hose shall have a 0.50-m (19.7-in.) free lengthbetween couplings and shall be coupled with suitable cou-plings, that is, band-it-type couplings. If the test hose is rubbercovered, then the cover should be thoroughly perforated with apricker roll.5. Test Pressure5.1 Unless oth

9、erwise specified, conduct the test with theLP-gas in the liquid phase at a pressure of 1000 6 20 kPa (1456 3 psi). Regulate this pressure by keeping the LP-gas tank inthe water bath and adjusting the temperature of the water toobtain the desired pressure, approximately 28C. (WarningTake special prec

10、autions to ensure that the water bath tempera-ture cannot rise accidently, as this will increase the gas pressuresignificantly, creating a danger of explosion. Do the testing ina well-ventilated area. The system shall be equipped with asafety relief valve set at a gage pressure of 1200 6 35 kPa (175

11、6 5 psi).)6. Procedure6.1 Cap or plug the hose coupling on one end of the testhose and connect the hose coupling on the other end to theLP-gas supply. (Invert the tank when testing in the liquid phaseor use a tank equipped with full-length dip tube.)6.2 Flush the inside surface of the test hose with

12、 LP-gas toremove air and seal the end.6.3 Locate the test hose in the center of the glass tube andmount in the water bath at an incline angle of approximately20.6.4 Adjust the water bath to the specified temperature.Apply the specified gas pressure to the test hose and maintainthis pressure and the

13、water bath temperature for 14 days.At theend of the 14-day conditioning period, inspect the test appara-tus for leaks and, in particular, the area around the hosecouplings. Leaks will be evident by the formation of gasbubbles in the water bath. If none are found, insert the funnelinto the measuring

14、cylinder, fill the cylinder with water, andmount the funnel over the end of the glass tube.6.5 Collect the gas for a 6-h period or collect 450 to 500 cm3of gas, whichever occurs first, and record the time and thevolume of gas collected. Repeat this procedure every 24 h until1This test method is unde
