Summary of Test Method4.1 The Charpy specimen

7、 is 3 mm thick and taken from acompression-molded plaque of the resin. The specimen isnotched precisely with a razor blade and tested between 19 Cand 27C.5. Significance and Use5.1 Brown and Lu4,5show the Charpy impact energy isrelated to the ultimate critical temperature of the rapid crackpropagati

8、on RCP behavior as measured by the ISO 13477,S-4 test.65.2 The test method may be used to determine the impactenergy of polyethylene used in the manufacture of pipe . Thistest method involves the preparation of a small compressionmolded specimen of PE resin that is then notched in a specifiedmanner.

9、 The specimen is then broken in a pendulum impactmachine. The impact energy is recorded in joules. The valueobtained is referred to as the Charpy impact energy.6. Apparatus6.1 Impact Tester, with input energy of 1 to 3 J and impactvelocity of about 3.0 s. The energy loss shall be measuredwith a prec

10、ision of 6 0.004 J.6.2 Notching Machine, shall be capable of notching with arazor blade with a precision of 6 0.01 mm and pressing therazor blade into the specimen.6.3 Details concerning pendulum impact machines are inTest Method D6110section on Apparatus.7. Test Specimen7.1 The specimen is machined

11、 from the compressionmolded plaque of the resin. The resin may come from pellets orfrom sections taken from a pipe.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.40 on TestMethods.Current edition approve

The notch is centered within adistance of 40 6 0.5 mm

16、 from the end.8. Preparation of the Compression Molded Plaque8.1 After the resin is heated to 140 to 160C, apply andremove the pressure three times. Increase the temperature to170 to 190C for 10 to 15 min without pressure. Then applyand remove the pressure three times. The specific temperaturesthat

17、are used depend on the melt index, a higher temperaturefor a lower melt index. The purpose of applying and removinghe pressure is to eliminate voids. Turn off the heat and applypressure. The time to cool between 130 and 190C shall begreater than 80 min. Alternatively the time to cool from themolding

18、 temperature to room temperature shall be greater than5 h. During cooling the pressure is allowed to decreasenaturally.9. Procedure9.1 The span of the specimen on the impact machine shallbe 40 6 0.5 mm.9.2 The fracture energy shall be less than 85 % of the inputenergy. Choose the minimum input energ

19、y that satisfies thisrequirement.9.3 The pendulum impact machine shall be rigidly fixed inaccordance with Test Method D6110.9.4 The test temperature shall be between 19 and 27C, butthe impact testing of all specimens shall be conducted within arange of 6 0.5C.9.5 The notch shall be in the center of

20、the span.9.6 Follow Test Method D6110section 10.2 on MachinePreparation, and the sections 10.3.2 to 10.3.4 on SpecimenTesting.10. Test Results10.1 Test five specimens.
