Summary of Guide3.1 There is currently a suite of ASTM standards (see 2.1)that can be applied to graphite covering a range of physical,mechanical, electrical and thermal property measurements.Each of these standard

11、s has been developed with the objectiveof optimizing the method of measurement in the absence of anyconstraints on test specimen production. Without exception,these standards specify limits on the ratio between test speci-men dimensions and coke and filler grain sizes or prescribe testspecimen geome

12、tries or size ranges, or both. The defaultposition for any user should be to follow these standardsexactly as described. However, in some applications, availabletest material or experiment design constraints on test specimensizes may result in noncompliance. The objective of this guideis to provide

13、advice on how the application of selectedstandards under noncompliant conditions can be tested forsuitability. The ultimate objective is to provide guidance on theuse of each of the ASTM standards listed. The 2011 issue ofthis guide addresses eight standards: Test Method C559 forBulk Density by Phys

19、nificance and Use4.1 The purpose of this guide is to report considerations,which should be included in testing nonstandard specimensthat lie outside the constraints imposed on size/volume inexisting ASTM standards for graphite (noting that there aresome generic ASTM standards with no such constraint

20、s).These constraints may be real or may be an artifact of theround-robin test program that supported the standard. It is theresponsibility of the user to demonstrate that the application ofa standard outside any specified constraints is valid andreasonably provides properties of the bulk material fr

Test Specimen Volume/Size Constraints in CurrentStandards5.1 Test Method C559Applies to test specimens withrectangular parallelepiped or right circular cylinder geometry.The minimum test volume is specified as 500 mm3. Theminimum test specimen dimens

22、ion should be 10 times thelength of the largest visible grain.5.2 Test Methods C565Applies to reduced diameter uni-axial tensile specimens. Grain size must be smaller than0.79 mm; while not specified, it is assumed that this refers toaverage grain size. The acceptable fracture zone shall be19 mm lon

23、g with the centre of the zone at the point ofminimum diameter. The ratio of specimen diameter to grainsize or flaw size must be greater than 5.5.3 Test Method C611Applies to strip, rod, bar or tubegeometries. Specimen length to maximum cross-sectional di-mension should be 6:1. No dimension should be

24、 smaller than 5times the length of the largest visible grain.5.4 Test Method C651Applies to rectangular parallelepi-ped geometries. The minimum dimension should be greaterthan 5 times the largest grain dimension. Test specimen lengthto thickness should be greater than 8. The ratio of test specimenwi

25、dth to thickness should be less than or equal to 2.5.5 Test Method C695Applies to right cylinder geometry.The test specimen diameter should be greater than 10 times themaximum grain size. The test specimen height to diameterratio should be in the range 1.9 to 2.1. The minimum test sizeis specified a

26、s 9.5 mm diameter and 19.1 mm height.5.6 Test Method C714Applies to circular disks, 2 to 4 mmthick and 6 to 12 mm in diameter. The diameter must not be toolarge relative to the flash source as the front surface needs to beheated uniformly. The specimen thickness must be selectedsuch that /t1/2is sma

27、ller than 0.02, where is the pulse timeand t1/2is the time for the rear surface temperature to rise toone half of its maximum value.5.7 Test Method C747Applies to slender rod or bargeometries. The test specimen length to thickness ratio shouldlie in the range 5 to 20:1.5.8 Test Method C748Applies to

28、 flat specimens of mini-mum thickness 6.35 mm. The grain size of the test materialshould be less than 0.8 mm, with a hardness range 0 to 120Rockwell L.5.9 Test Method C749Applies to reduced-diameter uni-axial tensile test geometries as defined in Fig. 9 of thatstandard. Gage diameter must be greater

29、 than 3 to 5 times themaximum grain size.5.10 Test Method C769Applies to right cylinder geom-etry. The user should minimize attenuation of the sonic pulseby selecting a wavelength appropriate to the grain size of thetest material. If the test specimen is a few grains thick,acceptability of applicati

30、on should be tested over a range oflengths. Specimen should have a diameter of at least a factor oftwo and ideally a factor of five greater than the wavelength ofsound within the material.5.11 Test Method C886Can be applied to any convenienttest specimen size, but test surfaces smaller than 5 mm by5

31、 mm are not recommended. The material must have a grainsize less than 0.8 mm. The minimum specimen thickness is5 mm.5.12 Test Method E228Applies to right cylinder (prefer-able) or slab geometries. Ideally, test specimens should be25 mm to 60 mm long and 5 mm to 10 mm in diameter orequivalent (althou

32、gh there is no fundamental limitation pro-vided the instrument controls the maximum thermal gradient tobetter than 62 C 50 mm). The specimen length should besuch that the accuracy of determining the expansion L/L0isat least 620 mm m.5.13 Test Method E1461Applies to thin circular diskspecimens with t

33、he front surface area less than that of theenergy beam. Typically, test specimens should be 10 mm to12.5 mm in diameter and 1 mm to 6 mm in thickness.5.14 Test Method C1259Can be applied to graphite testspecimens with both round and rectangular cross sections. Theratio of test specimen length to min

34、imal cross-sectional dimen-sion should be greater than 10, and preferably greater than 20.For shear modulus measurements, the test specimen width tothickness ratio should be greater than 5.5.15 Test Method C1161Applies to rectangular parallel-epiped geometries and can be adapted for graphite. Theave

35、rage grain size should be less than 2 % of the beamthickness.

General Principle for Measurements Outside SpecifiedSpeci

36、men Volume/Size Constraints in CurrentStandards6.1 The default position for any user should be to followthese standards exactly as described.6.2 Specimen size and volume constraints may be set by aparticular measurement technique and hence apply to any testmaterial, but some may depend upon the micr

37、ostructure andcomposition of the material. In such cases, it is preferable toprovide technical data and basis to support the choice of theadapted measurement technique and test specimen dimensionsused.6.3 A simple, general principle should be applied to anyproposed measurements that are noncompliant

38、 with respect tovolume/size.6.3.1 The user must first specify the level of accuracyrequired for the measurements together with tolerablerepeatability, tolerance, and bias uncertainties associated withthe measured properties. This may need to take into account thenumber of specimens used for the meas

39、urements.6.3.2 These qualifying measurement criteria must be dem-onstrated using representative material in a manner compliantwith the ASTM standard. The user should take account ofin-service changes to test material (for example, irradiation,oxidation) when selecting representative material for suc

40、h ademonstration; as-manufactured material may not be suffi-ciently representative for such purposes.6.3.3 The measurements should then be repeated on thesame material, progressively reducing the volume/size of thespecimen and repeating the measurements. Ideally, this proce-dure would involve the su

41、ccessive re-sizing of the startingspecimen. This would ensure that no specimen to specimenvariability affected the results. Consideration should be givento within specimen variability and any potential effects ofspecimen preparation that might affect the property measure-ment. This process should be

42、 continued until there are suffi-cient compliant data to benchmark the measurement techniqueagainst the material; there should be sufficient data at andbelow the desired test specimen geometry to characterize thedependence of the measured property upon volume/size. It maybe necessary to study more t

43、han one parameter and theseshould be varied singly in order not to confound the results.6.3.4 The results should be analyzed to establish either thestandard can be applied directly to an extended specimenvolume/size range or it can be applied with volume/sizecorrections. In both cases, the accuracy

44、and uncertainty of themeasurement at the desired specimen volume/size should beevaluated and assessed for acceptability against the originalspecification.6.3.5 It is good practice to retain the test specimens aschecks or secondary standards in the subsequent measurementcampaigns.7. Bulk Density by P

45、hysical Measurement (Test MethodC559)7.1 Test Method C559 requires a mass measurement and avolume determination by mensuration on a test specimen witheither a rectangular parallelepiped or right cylinder geometry.The standard specifies that the specimen volume should not beless than 500 mm3and the m

46、inimum dimension must be atleast ten times the length of the largest visible grain. Theminimum dimension should also be more than 2000 times theresolution of the measuring device. The volume determinationinvolves four length measurements (longest dimension) eitherat the centre of each long face in t

47、he case of the rectangularparallelepiped or 90 apart on the periphery of the circular endfaces in the case of the right cylinder. For the rectangularparallelepiped, width and thickness at each end and at twointermediate points along the length are required. For the rightcylinder, two sets of diamete

48、r measurements are required, eachset consisting of four measurements, one at each end and twoat two intermediate points along an axial line.7.2 The accuracy of contact measuring devices must beassessed in the context of point and flat contact options.7.3 Principal sources of mensuration error will a

49、rise fromgeometry irregularity and from surface condition.7.4 For specimens of regular geometry, mensuration couldbe carried out with automated multi-measurement contactdevices that record and analyze results for prescribed measure-ment patterns.7.5 Non-contact scanning devices can also be used todetermine volumes of both regular and non-regular geometryspecimens. Such devices need careful qualification before useto ensure the detectors respond consistently for graphitesurfaces. The calibration and accuracy of the device must betested on volume standards
