3、t of Defense.INTRODUCTIONConsistent evaluation and comparison of the response of polymer matrix composites to moistureabsorption can only be performed when the material has been brought to a uniform through-the-thickness moisture profile. The procedures described in Test Method D570 and Practices D6
4、18 do notguarantee moisture equilibrium of the material. A similar, but more rigorous, procedure forconditioning to equilibrium is described by this test method, which can also be used with fluidmoisture other than water, and which, additionally, can provide the moisture absorption propertiesnecessa
5、ry for the analysis of single-phase Fickian moisture diffusion within such materials.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a procedure (Procedure A) forthe determination of moisture absorption or desorption prop-erties in the through-the-thickness direction for single-phaseFickian solid materials in f
6、lat or curved panel form. Alsocovered are procedures for conditioning test coupons prior touse in other test methods; either to equilibrium in a non-laboratory environment (Procedure B), to equilibrium in astandard laboratory atmosphere environment (Procedure C), orto an essentially moisture-free st
7、ate (Procedure D). Whileintended primarily for laminated polymer matrix compositematerials, these procedures are also applicable to other mate-rials that satisfy the assumptions of 1.2.1.2 The calculation of the through-the-thickness moisturediffusivity constant in Procedure A assumes a single-phase
8、Fickian material with constant moisture absorption propertiesthrough the thickness of the specimen. The validity of theequations used in Procedure A for evaluating the moisturediffusivity constant in a material of previously unknownmoisture absorption behavior is uncertain prior to the test, asthe t
9、est results themselves determine if the material follows thesingle-phase Fickian diffusion model. A reinforced polymermatrix composite material tested below its glass-transitiontemperature typically meets this requirement, although two-phase matrices such as toughened epoxies may require amulti-phas
10、e moisture absorption model. While the test proce-dures themselves may be used for multi-phase materials, thecalculations used to determine the moisture diffusivity constantin Procedure A are applicable only to single-phase materials.Other examples of materials and test conditions that may notmeet t
11、he requirements are discussed in Section 1.4.1.3 The evaluation by Procedure A of the moisture equilib-rium content material property does not assume, and istherefore not limited to, single-phase Fickian diffusion behav-ior.1.4 The procedures used by this test method may beperformed, and the resulti
12、ng data reduced, by suitable auto-matic equipment.1.5 This test method is consistent with the recommendationsof MIL-HDBK-17B (1),2which describes the desirable at-tributes of a conditioning and moisture property determinationprocedure.1.6 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare t
