20、rictions.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The adsorbent material is tested using established stan-dard tests for factors relating to storage, while speciallydeveloped tests are used for covering other performancefactors. Oil and water adsorption strength, buoyancy, andreusability tests are included amon

21、g these latter tests.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is to be used as a basis for comparisonof adsorbents in a consistent manner.5.2 These tests are not appropriate for absorbent materialsthat are covered in Methods F 716.6. Apparatus6.1 Exterior Exposure Tester, sufficient to be used un

22、derFederal Test Standard 141a, Method 6152, or actual exposureas detailed in 8.2.6.2 Test CellsThe dimensions of the test cells shall belarge enough to enable the adsorbent sample to float freelywithin the test cell. For Type I and Type II sorbents, therecommended test cell is a borosilicate 19 cm (

23、diameter) by 10cm (depth) crystallizing dish with a watch glass or glass platecover. For larger samples, a 53 by 56 cm plastic sink (laundrytub or equivalent) to accommodate the sample is recom-mended.6.3 Mesh BasketsThe basket shall be of a sufficient sizeand strength to accommodate the sample size

24、 and weight (150cm3, 4 to 10 g minimum) when saturated. The basket must notbe so tall as to interfere with a protective lid for the test cell.NOTE 1The mesh should retain the sorbent, yet allow free oil to drainaway from the sorbent.6.4 Shaker Table, capable of variable frequency from 20 to240 cycle

26、ing mechanism, 50+kg maximum capacity with 100 g resolution, or equivalent.7. Conditioning7.1 Condition all adsorbent test specimens at 23 6 4C and70 6 20 % relative humidity for not less than 24 h prior totesting. Condition specimens in a fully exposed state with nocoverings or wrapping that would

27、hinder the ambient equili-bration process.7.2 If temperature conditions other than normal room tem-perature are expected to be important, then conditioning andtesting should be carried out at temperatures of interest inaddition to those specified in 7.1.8. Tests for Storage Properties8.1 Storage Den

28、sityThe density of the sorbent sample iscalculated by determining the weight of a known volume(standard sorbent package as delivered to the consumer) of thesorbent. If standard storage packages are not available, then themass of at least 1 L of sorbent is determined to calculate thestorage density.8

29、.2 MildewThe susceptibility of an adsorbent to mildewunder normal storage is defined under MIL-1-631D, Section3.5.7. The objective of this test is to determine expected shelflife under conditions which could lead to mildew.8.3 FlammabilityThe procedure for this test is describedin Test Method D 2859

30、, the Methenamine Pill Test. This testrelates to ignition from a spark, cigarette, or other point sourcesuch as might be encountered in normal shipping and storage.It should not be inferred that an adsorbent that passes this testwill fail to burn if ignited in another manner such as fullbuilding inv

31、olvement, bonfire, and so forth, and it shouldlikewise be understood that the test is limited to and pertains toonly unsaturated adsorbent samples as normally supplied bythe manufacturer.8.3.1 This test method should be used to measure anddescribe the properties of materials, products, or assemblies

32、 inresponse to heat and flame under controlled laboratory con-ditions and should not be used to describe or appraise the firehazard or fire risk of materials, products, assemblies underactual fire conditions. However, results of this test may be usedas elements of a fire risk assessment which takes

33、into accountall of the factors which are pertinent to an assessment of thefire hazard of a particular end use.8.3.2 Test Type I adsorbents as a single sheet or pad assupplied by the vendor.F7260628.3.3 Uniformly arrange Type II adsorbents in a layer ofsufficient size to fit the test apparatus. The t

34、hickness should be1.5 mm uncompressed and arranged such that the bulk densityis equal to that found in the packaged product as supplied bythe manufacturer.8.3.4 Any type adsorbent can be tested in the package inwhich it is supplied by placing the standard Methenamine testmask on a flat portion of th

35、e package surface, and placing thepill in the center of the mask on the package and igniting it.Results would be interpreted as in the normal test.9. Tests for Performance Properties9.1 These tests involve the use of oils with a range ofviscosities and densities as indicated below.Oil Type Viscosity

37、This procedure is designedto test for water take-up and to determine oleophilic propertiesof an adsorbent sample under dynamic conditions. This test isperformed at 23 6 4C.9.2.1 Type I AdsorbentSample pieces of the adsorbent(four pieces cut with a sharp edge (to minimize compaction)into squares of a

38、pproximately 6 by 6 cm) are first weighed thenplaced ina4Ljarthat is half-filled with water and sealed. Thecontainer is then placed on its side and mounted on a shakertable, or similar device, set at a frequency of 150 cycles perminute and an amplitude of 3 cm for a duration of 15 min. Thecontents o

39、f the jar are allowed to settle for a period of 2 min.Observations pertaining to the condition of the adsorbent andthe condition of the water are recorded. Any adsorbent piecesthat do not remain floating at the surface of the water areconsidered to have failed this test. The contents of the jar ares

40、trained through a mesh basket to catch the adsorbent samples,which are then weighed after a 30 s drain period. The waterpick-up ratio is calculated from the weight measurements (see9.5).9.2.1.1 The jar is half-filled with fresh water and 3 mLof oil(medium crude, 300 cP oil, or equivalent) is added.

41、Theadsorbent sample is returned to the jar, which is then sealed.The jar is placed on its side and mounted on a shaker table, orsimilar device, set at a frequency of 150 cycles per minute andan amplitude of 3 cm for a duration of 15 min. The contents ofthe jar are allowed to settle for a period of 2

42、 min, at which timeobservations are noted. Observations include but are notlimited to: quantity of adsorbent submerged, physical appear-ance of adsorbent and water, and the persistence and color ofresidual test liquid sheen.9.2.2 Type II AdsorbentAn adsorbent sample (approxi-mately 4 to 10 g or a ma

43、ximum of 150 cm3) is first weighedthen placed in a 4L jar that is half-filled with water and sealed.The container is then placed on its side and mounted on ashaker table, or similar device, set at a frequency of 150 cyclesper minute and an amplitude of 3 cm for a duration of 15 min.The contents of t

44、he jar are allowed to settle for a period of 2min. Observations pertaining to the condition of the adsorbentand the condition of the water are recorded. If 10 % or more ofthe adsorbent material has sunk, then the adsorbent is consid-ered to have failed this test. The contents of the jar are strained

45、through a mesh basket to catch the adsorbent samples, whichare then weighed after a 30 s drain period. The water pick-upratio is calculated from the weight measurements (see 9.5).9.2.2.1 The jar is half-filled with fresh water and 3 mLof oil(medium crude, 300 cP oil, or equivalent) is added. Theadso

46、rbent sample is returned to the jar, which is then sealed.The jar is placed on its side and mounted on a shaker table, orsimilar device, set at a frequency of 150 cycles per minute andan amplitude of 3 cm for a duration of 15 min. The contents ofthe jar are allowed to settle for a period of 2 min, a

47、t which timeobservations are noted. Observations include but are notlimited to: quantity of adsorbent submerged, physical appear-ance of adsorbent and water, and the persistence and color ofresidual test liquid sheen.9.2.3 Types IIIa, IIIb, IV AdsorbentsBoth the outer fabricor netting and the filler

48、 material are tested independently forType III adsorbents. Samples are prepared according to theprotocol listed in 9.2.1 for the outer fabric or netting of Type IIIadsorbents and Type IV adsorbents, and the protocol listed in9.2.2 is used for any particulate filler material used in Type IIIadsorbent

49、s. If the adsorbent material fails to remain floating asdescribed in 9.2.1 or 9.2.2, then the adsorbent is deemed tohave failed the dynamic degradation test.9.3 Oil Adsorption-Short TestThis test gives idealizedlaboratory data that can be used to compare one adsorbents oilcapacity with another and likewise give relative cost effective-ness. It should be recognized that under normal use conditions,an adsorbent will not be exposed to sufficient oil layerthickness to become completely or rapidly saturated. This testwill, therefore, give maximum possible ca
