8、red to Inside back coverBS5189-3:1975 ii BSI 12-1999 Foreword This British Standard forms one of a series on dental equipment and materials, prepared under the authority of the Dental Industry Standards Committee. The technique employed in mixing and using dental casting investments is almost as cri
9、tical as their chemical composition in governing their behaviour and properties under normal laboratory conditions. This fact is known, appreciated and made use of both by those people handling dental investments and by those responsible for their manufacture. It does, however, make the specificatio
10、n of a standardized mixing technique and consistency for use in preparation of the test specimen quite impossible, and reference has therefore been made to the manufacturers instructions. To safeguard the interests of the consumer in this respect, special attention has been paid to the subject of in
11、formation on mixing techniques and expansion, with a requirement that ample data on these items be included in every package of material. Ethyl silicate investment materials have a number of characteristics which set them apart from other dental casting materials. Firstly, there is the critical impo
12、rtance of the particle size distribution in the setting reaction and thermal expansion unless the manufacturer uses a suitable mixture of particle sizes the material will not set and the expansion will be unsatisfactory. As such a deficiency will automatically preclude an investment from even being
13、considered for compliance with the terms of a specification, the committee responsible for this standard decided that the inclusion of the usual sieving test, which features in Parts1 and2, was unnecessary. Another characteristic is the prolonged gelling type of reaction which takes place during set
14、ting. This presents a number of problems in definition and determination of what could be described as a set condition, and in this instance also it was considered that with the safeguard provided by the other requirements for physical properties, there was no immediate need for inclusion of a speci
15、al test just to determine an arbitrary set for these materials. Lastly, it will be noticed that the requirement for high temperature transverse strength in this specification is slightly lower than that set for gypsum and phosphate investment materials. This is because, due to practical difficulties
16、 in actual testing, the strength of ethyl silicate materials is determined at a temperature significantly below that used in actual casting when the maximum strength will be obtained. In preparing this British Standard the opportunity has been taken to use, where applicable, SI metric units. Recogni
17、zing that some of these units may be unfamiliar, a conversion table is included inAppendix A 1)which should provide a sufficient range of equivalent values for the interpretation of the relevant clauses. Certification. Attention is drawn to the certification facilities described on the inside back c
18、over of this standard. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages T

31、l mixing of investment shall, unless stated otherwise, be carried out at a temperature of23 2 C and a relative humidity of505%. 5.1.2 Apparatus. The following apparatus shall be used for mixing the investment in all test procedures. All apparatus and instruments listed shall be clean, dry and free f
32、rom particles of set investment. Mixing apparatus and instruments which have been used previously for other types of investment shall not be used. Before starting mixing all materials and apparatus shall be brought to a temperature of23 2 C. 5.1.2.1 A flexible bowl of suitable material (such as rubb
33、er) and size. 5.1.2.2 A dental “plaster” spatula with a curved stainless steel blade of approximately110mm 25mm 2mm.BS5189-3:1975 2 BSI 12-1999 5.1.3 Binder liquid. Refer to the manufacturers instructions for information on how to prepare the binder liquid from the ethyl silicate component. Use wate
34、r complying with the requirements of BS3978 unless stated otherwise. Use the same binder liquid for all the tests. Store at a temperature below5 C (but warm to room temperature before use) if it is intended to use the same mixed liquid over a period of more than24h. 5.1.4 Procedure. Follow the manuf
35、acturers instructions for preparing all test specimens. Unless the instructions state otherwise, always transfer the mixed investment immediately to the moulds or testing apparatus. Even if not specifically covered by the manufacturers instructions, the use of a mechanical method of mixing is permit
36、ted provided it can be established that the specimen so produced does not differ in its properties from that of one prepared using a manual method. 5.2 Thermal expansion 5.2.1 Apparatus. The following apparatus is required. 5.2.1.1 A linear thermal expansion measuring system of the vitreous silica d
37、ilatometer tube type illustrated inFigure 1 which comprises the following. a) A silica tube ST located in the “hot zone” of a tube furnace F. b) A silica rod SR which rests on top of a specimen contained within the tube ST. c) A displacement transducer DT the core of which is directly connected to t
38、he rod SR. The maximum restraint on the specimen shall not exceed1kN/m 2 A dial gauge is not recommended since it may result in excessive force (above1kN/m 2 ) being applied to the specimen, but any other device (magnetic, capacitative, optical) may be used provided that length changes are reliably
39、measured as specified. d) An automatic recording device coupled directly to the transducer DT. Alternatively, an instrument which will permit an operator to plot the expansion of the test specimen to an accuracy of 0.001mm may be used instead of an automatic recording device. e) A water jacket to pr
40、otect the mounting assembly from excessive temperature changes. The use of parts made from a suitable iron/nickel alloy 2)is also recommended to eliminate ambient temperature effects. The performance of the expansion apparatus shall be calibrated and checked periodically using a fused vitreous silic
41、a rod of the same dimensions as the test specimen (10mm diameter 100mm length). The apparatus itself shall not exhibit any change in excess of0.01mm as the temperature is varied over the intended operating range. 5.2.1.2 A metal former and tube as illustrated inFigure 2 for preparing the test specim
42、en mould. 5.2.2 Preparation of agar mould. Assemble the former (F) and tube (T) as illustrated inFigure 2(a). Heat some agar gel duplicating material in accordance with the manufacturers instructions, stirring continuously, until completely molten and free from lumps. Allow to cool to the temperatur
43、e recommended by the manufacturer for pouring and then fill the metal former/tube mould. Leave to set for40min at room temperature. Remove the metal former without disturbing the agar gel in the tube. Seal the top of the tube with a sheet of wax. 5.2.3 Procedure. Mix the investment in accordance wit
44、h the manufacturers instructions and fill the agar mould from the funnel end seeFigure 2(b) using vibration. Pour off surplus liquid in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Free the specimen from the mould24h from the commencement of mixing. Surface the ends of the specimen flat and paral
45、lel so that it finishes with a length of1002mm. Ensure that the end surfaces of the specimen and contact surfaces of the expansion apparatus are clean and free from extraneous investment particles. Also take care to ensure good seating of the specimen. Place the specimen in the test apparatus with t
46、he furnace at room temperature, then heat to100 C. After holding this temperature for1h, heat at a rate of5 2 C/min until the manufacturers recommended temperature for casting is reached. 2) “Invar” alloy is known to be suitable.BS5189-3:1975 BSI 12-1999 3 Record the expansion at intervals of50 C if
47、 an automatic device is not used. Measure and record the temperature during the thermal expansion tests by placing the hot junction of a thermocouple as close as possible to the outside of the silica tube containing the specimen. In order to correlate the true temperature of the test specimen with t
48、hat of the measuring thermocouple, prepare an investment specimen in which a platinum/rhodium-platinum thermocouple is embedded and take this through the full heating cycle. The temperature lag of the specimen behind that of the measuring thermocouple will then be known and a correction can be appli
49、ed when reporting the results. 5.2.4 Test result. Report the test result in a linear percentage expansion using the mean of at least three determinations. Repeat the whole test if any individual value differs by more than10% from the mean. Use the results from this test procedure to record the casting range see3.5 d). For the purposes of this British Standard the casting range is defined as the range of temperature( 10 C), within which the actual expansion does not fall below0.025mm of the maximum recorded expansion. 5.3 Transve
