1、 WORLDWIDE ENGINEERING STANDARDS Material Specification GMW16977 Acoustic Absorbing Material for Exhaust Applications Copyright 2013 General Motors Company All Rights Reserved June 2013 Page 1 of 11 1 Scope This specification defines fibrous glass materials used as acoustic-absorbing and thermal ins

2、ulation media primarily used in automotive exhaust applications. The specification includes properties, both chemical and physical, required for moderate-, intermediate-, and high-temperature applications in exhaust systems. 1.1 Material Description. This specification describes three (3) types of f

3、ibrous glass materials typically used in silencer components of exhaust systems. The materials are classified as Type 1 for moderate-temperature applications, Type 2 for high-temperature applications and Type 3 for intermediate-temperature applications. These materials are utilized in environments w

4、here they will be exposed to hot exhaust gases, but the primary flow of the exhaust gasses is not normally through the mass of glass fibers. The fibers provide a mechanism for the dissipation of acoustic energy as well as providing thermal insulation around the path of the exhaust gases. 1.1.1 Mater

5、ial Identification. Type 1, or moderate-temperature applications, are those applications where the fibrous material itself will achieve continuous operating temperatures of 730 C or intermittent temperatures as high as 825 C for up to 2 h. Thus, this material should be suitable for virtually all app

6、lications toward the rear of the exhaust system and many applications near the catalytic converter, either alone or in combination with a high-temperature material adjacent to the perforated tube. Type 2, or high temperature applications, are those applications where the fibrous material itself will

7、 achieve continuous operating temperatures of 825 C or intermittent temperatures as high as 900 C for up to 2 h. This material is suitable for virtually all applications toward the rear of the exhaust system and near the catalytic converter. Type 3, or intermediate-temperature applications, are thos

8、e applications where the fibrous material itself will achieve continuous operating temperatures of 810 C or intermittent temperatures as high as 890 C for up to 2 h. This material is suitable for virtually all applications toward the rear of the exhaust system and most applications near the catalyti

9、c converter. Note: For many silencer applications in continuous operation, the glass temperature adjacent to the perforation tube is 50 C below the exhaust gas temperature. For cyclic operations of a few minutes duration, this temperature differential is larger. 1.2 Symbols. Not applicable. 1.3 Typi

10、cal Applications. These materials are typically used in exhaust systems where thermal insulation and/or acoustic attenuation are required. The choice of materials is primarily determined by the maximum operating temperature that the material will achieve. 1.4 Remarks. Not applicable. 2 References No

This durability test procedure may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This test procedure does not intend to address all the safety problems associated wit

38、h its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this test procedure to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. A1.2 Preparing the Samples. Equipment: Glass fibers Non-powdered gloves Anti-static containers with lids

39、, or equivalent Scissors Dry glove box Procedure: 1. Put on non-powdered vinyl, latex, or nitrile gloves. 2. Cut sample fibers to a length of approximately 1.0 cm into an anti-static plastic container. Caution: Do not cut glove fingers into the sample. 3. Place lid loosely on container. Do not seal.

40、 Place container into dry glove box exchange chamber. A1.3 Transferring Samples to Glove Box. Equipment: Vacuum pump Glove box Dry nitrogen Procedure: 1. Ensure that the glove box exchange chamber inner and outer doors are closed. 2. Turn on vacuum pump and open the valve to the exchange chamber. 3.

41、 Pump the chamber until the vacuum level is -26 psi. 4. Close the vacuum valve to the exchange chamber. 5. Open the nitrogen valve to the exchange chamber slowly until the pressure begins to increase at approximately 5 psi/minute. 6. When the pressure in the exchange chamber reaches atmospheric pres

42、sure, open the inside door of the exchange chamber and place the samples into the glove box. 7. Remove the lids from the top of the containers to expose the fibers to the dry atmosphere. Let the fibers equilibrate with the glove box for at least 4 h, preferably overnight. A1.4 Weighing the Samples.

Clean the surface of the pan so that

45、it is free of fibers. 2. Using forceps, place a glass vial on the balance and tare the balance. 3. Using forceps, weigh 1.000 g 0.001 g of chopped fibers into the vial. Note: If the glass is highly soluble, the sample size should be reduced to 0.2500 g 0.0005 g. If the larger sample size is used wit

46、h a highly soluble glass, the test solution will become saturated and dissolution will be hindered. The final mass loss measurement would be artificially low. 4. Brush away any fibers that were dropped on the pan or outside the vial. 5. After the balance is stabilized, record the data stabilized wei

47、ght (WS). 6. Using forceps, remove the sample from the pan and record the empty balance weight (WB). This is the empty bottle weight. 7. Tare the scale and weigh the bottle with the sample. Record this weight (WB + WS). This is the empty bottle plus sample weight. The weight obtained in Step 5 shoul

48、d differ from the difference of the weights obtained in Steps 6 and 7 by 0.0005 g. If the difference is greater, reweigh the sample. A1.5 Weighing the Crucibles. Equipment: Ceramic crucibles Forceps Analytical balance: 0.1 mg Procedure: 1. Tare the balance and, using forceps, weigh one crucible for

49、each sample. 2. Record the crucible weights (WC). A1.6 Solution. A1.6.1 Preparing the Solution. Equipment.
