2、is used to determine the feasibility of using a material in production, when the material is to be dispensed through an automated system. Such feasibility is dependent on the tendency of the materials physical flow properties to change when subjected to constant temperature and shear, instead of the

Conditioning and Test Conditions All test values indicated herein are based on material conditioned in a controlled atmosphere of 23 +/- 2 C and 50 +/- 5 % relative humidity for not less than 24 h prior to testing and tested under the same conditions unless

10、 otherwise specified. Procedure #1 1. Purge entire system with 19 L of material and make dynamic pressure adjustment to 10.4 MPa at gauge #3. Note what air pressure is required to the air motor. 2. Relieve all pressure off system and allow material to stabilize approximately 1 h. 3. Set air pressure

11、 required for the 10.4 MPa dynamic material pressure. (Note: The air motor and material air actuated ball valve is not actuated until button is pushed.) 4. Set counter #1 to 6 complete cycles and counter #2 to 3 complete cycles. 5. Press start button. At this point: . Actuators to the air motor and

12、25.4 mm ball valve will switch to open. . Limit switch will count off 6 complete cycles to counter #1. . Counter #2 will start and count off 3 complete cycles. At the same time: . Timer will turn on and record 3 complete cycles. . Cup catch will be activated to catch complete 3 cycles. . After 3 com

13、plete cycles the 25.4 mm ball valve will close allowing static pressure to build in system. (Note: air motor will remain on.) 6. Record weight, time in seconds and temperature at nozzle. FORD LABORATORY TEST METHOD BV 104-01 Page 3 of 4 Copyright 2000, Ford Global Technologies, Inc. Procedure #2 1.

14、Allow material to sit in a static condition for 1 h. 2. Switch off counters #1 and #2. 3. Press start button. At this point: . Actuator to the 25.4 mm ball valve will switch to open. . Material will dispense for 1 h. . Near the end of the 1 h run, note the time it takes for 9 complete cycles to allo

15、w sufficient time to activate the counters. . Limit switch will count off 6 complete cycles to counter #1. . Counter #2 will start and count off 3 complete cycles. At the same time: . Timer will turn on and record 3 complete cycles. . Cup catch will be actuated to catch 3 complete cycles. . After 3

16、complete cycles the 25.4 mm ball valve will close allowing static pressure to build in system. (Note: Air motor will remain open.) Procedure #3 1. Record weight, time in seconds and temperature at nozzle. 2. Allow material to sit in a static condition for 24 h. 3. Press start button. At this point:

17、. Actuator to the 25.4 mm ball valve will switch to open. . Limit switch will count off 6 complete cycles to counter #1. . Counter #2 will start and count off 3 complete cycles. At the same time: . Timer will turn on and record 3 complete cycles. . Cup catch will be actuated to catch 3 complete cycl

Disconnect hose (K) from (N) ball valve. 2. Remove pump assembly from drum and remove follower plate. 3. Usi

19、ng pure mineral spirits, purge out approximately 20 L of tested material. 4. Position hose back to mineral spirits container and recycle mineral spirits approximately 1 h. 5. Disassemble all equipment and inspect for any remaining material and hand clean and allow to air dry. Chemicals, materials, p
