37、als and/or processing, and when requested, sample cloths. Production cloths made by the revised procedure shall not be shipped prior to receipt of approval. 4.5 Test Methods Tests to determine conformance to the requirements of this specification shall be conducted as follows: 4.5.1 Test Conditions
38、Except where otherwise specified herein, all cloths shall be preconditioned in accordance with ASTM D 1776 prior to testing. Where an environmental chamber is utilized for preconditioning, the test area environment shall be maintained at 65 to 85 F (18 to 29 C) and a relative humidity of 50 to 70%.
39、4.5.2 Cleanliness Not less than ten cloths shall be examined under 5X magnification and an impinging light source with an illuminance of 750 to 850 foot candles (8073 to 9149 lux), measured at a distance of 6 inches (152 mm). Acceptability of all ten cloths shall be reported as pass or fail. 4.5.3 W
40、ater Absorptive Capacity The test specimen shall consist of a full-size cloth sample, up to 8 inches by 8 inches (203 mm by 203 mm), and consisting of six plies cut at approximately equally spaced intervals across the sample sheet on a line 45 degrees to the edge of the sheet. If the specimen is exc
41、essively bulky or weighs more than 2.73 ounce per square yard (92.6 g/m2) or both, three plies may be used instead of six. Three test specimens shall be used for this test. 4.5.4 Linting 4.5.4.1 Acceptance Testing Cloth linting shall be determined using the average weight of lint obtained from the t
42、esting of ten cloth samples. A new cloth shall be used for each of the ten weight determinations. Each sample to be tested shall be securely wrapped on a cylindrical mandrel of the type shown in Figure 1, so as to prevent wrinkles or folds at the contact surface. The cloth may be secured with a rubb
43、er ring or with tape. Tape may also be used to conceal any open edges of the cloth sample. The cylindrical mandrel shall weigh 460 grams 10, with a contact surface diameter of 2.0 inches 0.1 (5.08 mm 0.25) and all corner transitions radiused at 0.5 inch (12.7 mm). Other equipment shall be one 8-inch
44、 (203 mm) diameter, No. 40 (425 m) U.S. Standard sieve with drop pan which has been solvent washed using ASTM D 329 acetone, then dried to constant weight at 150 F 2 (65 C 1) for one hour; one analytical balance with a rated sensitivity of 0.1 milligram; aluminum foil approximately 9 inches (228 mm)
45、 in diameter, sufficient to line the drop pan. SAE AMS 3819C - 6 - 4.5.4.2 Procedure After weighing the aluminum foil to the nearest 0.1 mg (W1) using the analytical balance, place the foil within the drop pan and install the No. 40 sieve on the drop pan. The aluminum foil will act as the collection
46、 medium for any lint passing through the sieve assembly. Wrap two cloth plies securely around the mandrel so as to prevent wrinkles and folds at the contact surface. Place the contact surface of the wrapped mandrel on the sieve screen, and while maintaining the mandrel in a fixed orientation normal
47、to the surface of the No. 40 sieve, move the mandrel around the circumference of the sieve in a continuous motion for 25 complete revolutions at approximately five revolutions per minute. Remove the cloth plies and examine for tearing. Without disassembling the sieve, repeat the procedure nine addit
48、ional times using new cloth plies for each repetition. Upon completion of ten sample tests, carefully disassemble the drop pan and remove the aluminum foil with collected lint from the drop pan. Weigh the aluminum foil and lint to the nearest 0.1 mg using the analytical balance. Calculate linting ac
49、cording to Equation 1: 144A-W2W110- = Linting in mg/square feet(Eq. 1) where: A = contact surface area of bar in square inches W1= weight of aluminum foil W2= weight of aluminum foil plus lint generated 4.5.4.3 Qualification Testing Cloth linting shall be determined using the average weight of lint obtained from the testing of ten cloth samples. A new cloth shall be used for each of the ten weight determinations. Each sample to be tested shall be securely wrapped on a cylindrical mandrel of the t
