1、Designation: D4963/D4963M 11Standard Test Method forIgnition Loss of Glass Fiber Strands and Fabrics1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4963/D4963M; the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last
2、 revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers primarily the determination ofignition loss of glass fiber textiles. This method applies to glassf
3、iber strands, twisted or untwisted, coated or uncoated; andfabrics, woven, nonwoven, knitted, coated, and uncoated, andchopped strand. This procedure may be applied to other glasstextiles where the amount of organic content obtained byignition loss is required.NOTE 1This test method may be used with
4、 other glass fiber classifi-cations, such as C or D, but a different ignition temperature and exposuretime may be required. In these cases the manufacturer should be consultedfor the appropriate ignition conditions.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separa
5、tely as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,
6、 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.2.

Summary of Test Method4.1 The organic content on glass fiber textiles is determinedby weighing the specimen before and after ignition. Theamount of ignition loss on a sample is reported as a
9、percentageof the total mass before ignition.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is considered satisfactory for accep-tance testing of commercial shipments because current esti-mates of between-laboratory precision are acceptable.5.1.1 In cases of a dispute arising from differences inreported
10、 test results when using this test method for acceptancetesting of commercial shipments, the purchaser and the sup-plier should conduct comparative tests to determine if there isa statistical bias between their laboratories. Competent statis-tical assistance is recommended for the investigation of b
11、ias.As a minimum, the two parties should take a group of testspecimens which are as homogeneous as possible and whichare from a lot of material of the type in question. The testspecimens should then be randomly assigned in equal numbersto each laboratory for testing. The average results from the two
12、laboratories should be compared using Students t-test forunpaired data and an acceptable probability level chosen by thetwo parties before the testing begins. If a bias is found, eitherits cause must be found and corrected or the purchaser and thesupplier must agree to interpret future test results
13、in the view ofthe known bias.5.2 Glass fiber textiles are provided with various sizings orcoatings. These provide a protection for the individual fibers,yarns, or fabric that may compose the glass fiber textile as wellas compatibility with further finishing requirements. Theamount of sizing or coati
14、ng on glass fiber textiles as deter-mined by this procedure is used for process control.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D13 on Textilesand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D13.18 on Glass Fiber and itsProducts.Current edition approved May 1, 2011.

21、 Sampling and Number of Specimens8.1 Lot SizeA lot is defined as a single shipment of asingle type of glass fiber textile. A lot may constitute all or partof a single customer order.8.2 Lot SampleAs a lot sample for acceptance testing,take the number of sampling units of glass fiber textilesdirected
22、 in an applicable material specification or other agree-ment between the purchaser and the supplier.8.3 Laboratory SampleConsider strand packages or fabricrolls or chopped strand quantities of at least 50 g to be alaboratory sample unless otherwise agreed upon between thepurchaser and the supplier.8
23、.4 Test SpecimensAs test specimens for acceptance test-ing, proceed as follows:8.4.1 For strands, take two lengths of strand, each weighingat least 6 g from each package in the laboratory sample.8.4.2 For fabrics, cut two test specimens at least 103 cm216 in.2 and weighing at least 6 g from the labo
24、ratory samplein such a way that no specimen is closer than one tenth thewidth of the swatch from the selvage with no two specimenscut perpendicular to the warp containing the same set of warpends or if cut parallel to the filling, containing the same set offilling picks, and the specimens from diffe
25、rent swatches areeach taken from a different part of the width of the swatches,with no specimen being taken within1m1ydoftheveryoutside of the roll.8.4.3 For bulk glass textiles, such as chopped strand, taketwo quantities randomly as test specimens, each weighing atleast 6 g from each laboratory sam
26、pling unit.9. Procedure9.1 Precondition each test specimen by drying for1hat1056 2C 220 6 4F, unless otherwise specified. Remove thetest specimens from the drying oven and cool in the desiccatorfor a minimum of 10 min in the standard atmosphere for testingglass textiles.NOTE 2Conditioning is often o
27、mitted in current lab practices, butmust be used to resolve finish level conflicts between purchaser andsupplier.9.2 Precondition the weighing containers by placing theempty containers in the muffle furnace at 625 6 25C 1157 645F. After 30 min, remove and cool in the standard atmo-sphere for testing
28、 glass textiles for 30 min.9.3 Weigh the empty container to the nearest 0.001 g.Record this as the tare mass, T.9.4 Identify each container with respect to each test speci-men.NOTE 3When it is known that no ash residue separates from thespecimen during the weighing and igniting process, the specimen
29、 isallowed to be weighed separately without the container. When this occurs,T equals zero.9.5 Place the test specimen in the container and weigh to thenearest 0.001 g. Record this as the initial mass, A.9.6 With the test specimen in the container, place in themuffle furnace. Ignite at 625 6 25C 1157
30、 6 45F for at least30 min.NOTE 4For fabrics with less than 3 % loss on ignition, somemanufacturers have found that ignition time of 10 min is sufficient. In caseof dispute, the conditions in 9.6 shall be used.9.7 Remove the container with specimen residue from themuffle furnace and cool in the desic
31、cator for at least 30 min inthe standard atmosphere for testing glass textiles.9.8 Remove each container and test specimen separatelyfrom the desiccator, and immediately weigh to the nearest0.001 g.

Precision and Bias12.1 SummaryIn 95 out of 100 cases when comparingtwo averages of two determinations each, the differencesshould not exceed the following amounts when all of thedeterminations are taken by the same well trained operatorusing the same piece of test
36、equipment and specimens ran-domly drawn from the same sample of material but tested atdifferent times.Class 1 vinyl-coated glass yarn0.8 % of the averageClass 2 vinyl-coated glass yarn1.5 % of the averageLarger differences are likely to occur under all other condi-tions. This test method has no bias
37、 since the true value ofignition loss can only be defined in a specific test method.Paragraphs 12.2-12.4 explain the basis for this summary andfor evaluations made under other conditions.12.1.1 The values in Table 1 are shown in percent of theaverage. It is expected that the values will also apply t
38、o otherforms of glass textiles.12.2 Interlaboratory Test Data4An interlaboratory testwas run in 1986 in which randomly drawn specimens of aClass 1 vinyl-coated glass yarn and a Class 2 vinyl-coated glassyarn were tested in each of four laboratories. Each laboratoryused two operators, each of whom te
39、sted two specimens ofeach material at different times. The components of varianceexpressed as coefficients of variation are listed in Table 1.NOTE 5The square roots of the components of variance are beingreported to express the variability as percent ignition loss rather than as thesquare of that un
40、it of measure.12.3 PrecisionFor the components of variance reported inTable 1, two averages of observed values should be consideredsignificantly different at the 95 % probability level if thedifference equals or exceeds the critical differences listed inTable 2.NOTE 6Since the interlaboratory test i
41、ncluded only four laboratories,estimates of between-laboratory precision should be used with specialcaution.NOTE 7The tabulated values of the critical differences should beconsidered to be a general statement particularly with respect to between-laboratory precision. Before a meaningful statement ca
42、n be made aboutany two specific laboratories, the amount of statistical bias if any, betweenthem must be established, with each comparison based on recent dataobtained on specimens taken from a lot of material of the type beingevaluated and nearly homogeneous as possible and then randomlyassigned in
43、 equal numbers to the two laboratories.12.4 BiasThe procedure in this test method has no biasbecause the value of ignition loss can be defined only in termsof a test method.13.
