ASTM D4217-2007(2017) Standard Test Method for Gel Time of Thermosetting Coating Powder《热固性涂层粉末凝胶时间的标准试验方法》.pdf

1、Designation: D4217 07 (Reapproved 2017)Standard Test Method forGel Time of Thermosetting Coating Powder1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4217; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last rev

2、ision. 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 determines the length of time athermosetting coating powder takes to gel on a polished metalsurface at a spec

3、ified temperature, such as 204C (400F). Thedetermination of the gel time is a very simple method for thecharacterization and quality control of coating powders.However, the gel time determined by this method is notdirectly related to the time for the coating powder to cure inpractical applications.1

4、.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 this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.3 This interna

5、tional standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade (TBT) Com

Apparatus5.1 Hot Plate,3having an electrically heated metal blockwith a polished surface capable of being maintained at tem-peratures between range 130 to 230C (266 to 466F) to within62C (64F). The temperature should be controlled by meansof a thermoregulator.NOTE 1There are expected difference

12、s in results between this methodand ISO 81306 which requires a heating block with small depressions.5.2 Stopwatch or Timer, accurate to at least 1 s.5.3 Stirrer, of very low heat capacity and of suitable size.Wooden stirrers with dimensions of 2 mm by 6 mm by 130 mmor (116 in. by14 in. by 5 in.) hav

17、lly recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.15.5 Measuring Spoon, of 1.25 cc (14 tsp) capacity.5.6 S

18、craper, made of material softer than that of the heatingblock, for removing the test material from the heating blockwithout scratching its surface.6. Selection of Specimens6.1 Obtain a representative sample of the coating powder.6.2 Store the sample of coating powder in accordance withthe manufactur

19、ers recommendations, after sampling and priorto testing.6.3 A specimen shall consist of approximately 1.25 ml (14tsp) of coating powder.7. Procedure7.1 Place the hot plate in a draft-free location or use athree-sided draft shield constructed to eliminate drafts.7.2 Allow a minimum of 30 min for the

20、hot plate to stabilizeafter reaching the temperature at which calibration is to bemade.7.3 Verify the hot plate temperature with the surface contactthermocouple to 62C (64F). The temperature of the hotplate will likely vary slightly over the hot plate surface. Thusthe verification is only valid for

21、the immediate location tested.Gel times should only be measured at the location that wasverified.7.4 Carry out the gel time determination in duplicate.7.5 Using the measuring spoon, transfer 1.25 ml (14 tsp) ofthe material under test onto the verified area of the hot plate.7.6 As soon as the powder

22、hits the plate, start the stop watchand begin stirring.7.7 Stir the molten material in small circular movementswith the stirrer. When thickening starts, maintain the overallstirring action, and periodically lift the stirrer approximately 25to 50 mm (1 to 2 in.) above the molten material to produce a

23、filament of molten material. When filaments break and can nolonger be drawn from the then gelled material, stop the timerand record the time to the nearest second. This is the gel time.7.8 Clean the gelled material from the surface of the hotplate with the scraper. If the plate surface becomes pitte

24、d orscratched, polish it smooth or replace it.7.9 Repeat the determination with a fresh sample. If the tworesults differ by less than 5 % of the lower value, calculate andreport the arithmetic mean. If the difference between the tworesults exceeds 5 %, carry out a third determination andcalculate an

25、d report the arithmetic mean of all three results tothe nearest second. If the difference between the result of thethird determination and those of the other two determinationsis also greater than 5 %, state this and the individual results inthe test report.8.

Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionIt is not possible to specify the precision ofthe procedure in Test Method D4217 for measuring gel timebecause adequate data has not been established. No activity isplanned to develop such data.9.2 BiasThis test method has no bias because

28、 the value forgel time is defined solely in terms of this test method.10.
