2、R NEW DESIGN 1. SCOPE: The material defined by this specification is a gasket material comprised of aramide fibers bonded with nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR). 2. APPLICATION: This specification was released originally for material used for intake manifold gaskets. 3. REQUIREMENTS: Note: All tests sh

3、all be conducted in accordance with ASTM F 104 Type 1 material unless otherwise specified. The requirements of this specification are valid for gasket material of 0.2 to 1.6 mm thickness. Test specimens are to be selected from finished gaskets when practicable. Prior to testing, the materials shall

4、be conditioned in an oven at 100 +/- 2 C for 1 hr and allowed to cool to 23 +/- 2 C in a desiccator containing anhydrous calcium chloride. 3.1 STATISTICAL PROCESS Suppliers must conform to the requirements of Ford Quality System Standard Q-101. A mutually acceptable Control Plan as described therein

5、 is required for material/source approval. Appropriate statistical tools must be used to analyze process/product data so that variation in the final product is continuously reduced. 3.2 INFRARED SPECTROPHOTOMETRY AND/OR THERMAL ANALYSIS Ford Motor Company, at its option, may conduct infrared and/or

6、thermal analysis of material/parts supplied to this specification. The IR spectra and thermograms established for initial approval shall constitute the reference standard and shall be kept on file at the designated material laboratory. All samples shall produce IR spectra and thermograms that corres

7、pond to the reference standard when tested under the same conditions.
