32、and wider than the penetrator usedfor the test. It shall consist of a single ply and contain no joint or separation. No thickness tolerances are given for gaskets coveredby this procedure. Test results shall be regarded merely as indicative.5. Conditioning of Specimens5.1 Specimens shall be conditio
33、ned as specified for the particular type of material. Conditioning procedures for various typesof gasket materials are as shown in Table 1, unless otherwise specified.5.2 If a mechanical means of maintaining 50 to 55 % relative humidity is not available, a tray containing a saturated solutionof reag
34、ent grade magnesium nitrate (Mg(NO3)26H2O) shall be placed in the chamber to provide the required relative humidity.In all cases where testing is conducted outside the area of specified humidity, specimens shall be removed from the chamber oneat a time as needed.6. Temperature of Test6.1 The test sh
35、all be conducted with both specimen and apparatus at a temperature of 21 to 30C (70 to 85F).67. Procedure7.1 Determine the amount of deflection of the penetrator at each of the loads used in the test with no specimens present. Addthe absolute value of this penetrator deflection to the thickness unde
36、r total load M in 9.1 to obtain a corrected reading. The valuesare machine constants which may vary for different instrument designs.7.2 Center the test specimen upon the anvil and apply the preload and maintain for a period of 15 s, and record the preloadedthickness of the specimen. Immediately app
37、ly the major load in a slow uniform manner so that the total load is attained within 10 s.Guide the penetrator in its descent so that the surface remains parallel to the surface of the anvil. Maintain the total load for a periodof 60 s, and record the thickness of the specimen. Immediately remove th
38、e major load, and after a period of 60 s record thethickness of the specimen under the original preload. This is the recovered thickness.8. Number of Tests8.1 A minimum of three tests shall be run on separate specimens taken from the same sample and the results averaged.9. Calculation9.1 The compres
39、sibility and recovery shall be calculated as follows:Compressibility,%5P 2M!/P# 3100 (1)Recovery,%5R 2M!/P 2M!# 3100 (2)where:P = thickness under preload, mm (in.),M = thickness under total load, mm (in.), andR = recovered thickness, mm (in.).9.2 When desired, the resiliency shall be calculated as f

Precision and Bias711.1 This precision and bias
43、statement was developed using Practice E691. (See Table 2.)11.2 In Column 3 are the coefficients of variation for the physical properties listed in Column 2. In Column 4 are the maximumdifferences (ranges) that should be considered acceptable for two results that are considered to be from nominally
44、identicalspecimens. These are expressed as a percent of the mean value. The precision data are based on tests conducted on Type 1, Type2, and Type 3 gasket material specimens. Eleven laboratories participated in the round robin on Type 1 and Type 3 gasket material.Nine laboratories participated in t
45、he round robin on the Type 2 gasket material. There was one operator at each of the laboratoriestesting five specimens.NOTE 1The critical differences were calculated using t = 1.960 which is based on infinite degrees of freedom.NOTE 2m = 3 was used in the calculations of the repeatability and reprod
46、ucibility values because this specification requires a minimum of three teststo be run.12.
