1、Designation: F 1598 95 (Reapproved 2007)Standard Test Methodfor Determining the Effects of Chemical/Solvent Exposure toa Membrane Switch/Graphic Overlay (Spot Test Method)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 1598; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year

2、oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the testing of any surface thatm

3、ay be exposed to liquid chemical(s).1.2 This test method is not designed for immersion testingconditions or material edge attack.1.3 This test method is designed for evaluation of visualchanges. In certain instances physical (non-visual) changesmay occur and functional testing may be appropriate.1.4

Conditioning5.1 Condition all specimens and chemical(s)/solvent(s) for72 h at 68 to 77F (20 to 25C) and 20 to 80 % relativehumidity (RH).5.2 The test specimen should be clean and dry beforetesting.5.3 Cleaning of the Test Specimen:5.3.1 Use a clean lint

8、-free piece of absorbent material andeither reagent grades of n-heptane or isopropyl alcohol.5.3.2 Wipe the surface of the test area with a saturated pieceof cleaning material.5.3.3 Dry the test area with fresh absorbent cleaning mate-rial.5.3.4 Repeat these two procedures three times to ensurethoro

9、ugh cleanliness.5.3.5 Inspect the test area to ensure no visual damage hasbeen caused by the cleaning process.6. Procedure6.1 Conduct the test at 68 to 77F (20 to 25C) and 20 to80 % RH.6.2 Mark the test specimen with a test field that is approxi-mately a size of 2 in.2(51 mm2). Mount the specimenhor

10、izontally.6.3 Completely saturate a 0.75-in.2(19-mm2) of gauze withthe test chemical. Place the gauze within the test field andcover with a watchglass with the edges sealed if necessary toensure that the surface remains wet for the duration of the testperiod. If the test specimen is embossed, perfor

11、m the test on anembossed area that shall be completely covered with thewatchglass.6.4 A larger watchglass and gauze pad may be required dueto the test surface. In this instance the size relationship betweenthe field area watchglass and gauze should remain the same.1This test method is under the juri
