19、the paper industry.3.2.2 vulcanized fibre, na material made from chemicallygelatinized cellulosic paper or board using zinc chloride as thegelatinizing agent.3.2.2.1 DiscussionThe zinc chloride is subsequently re-moved by leaching. The resulting product, after being driedand finished by calendering,
20、 is a material of partially regener-ated cellulose in which the fibrous structure is retained invarying degrees depending on the grade of paper used and onthe processing conditions. Material up to about 3.2 mm inthickness is produced by bonding multiple layers of paper (orboard) after chemical treat
21、ment. Vulcanized fibre thicker than3.2 mm is typically produced by laminating multiple plies ofvulcanized fibre together. Vulcanized fibre does not containvulcanized rubber or sulfur as the name might imply. Thinvulcanized fibre has sometimes been termed “fish paper.” Formore detail on vulcanized fi
22、bre refer to Specification D710.3.2.3 lengthwise (LW), adjthe direction of the sheet whichis strongest in flexure.3.2.3.1 DiscussionThis is also known as the machinedirection. It is the lengthwise direction in which the paper isformed and travels on the paper machine, wire, or cylinder.Since making
23、paper (which form the plies of vulcanized fibre)is a directional process, vulcanized fibres properties differsignificantly between machine direction and cross direction.For some materials, including the raw materials used for themanufacture of materials considered herein, this direction maybe design
24、ated as the warp direction.3.2.4 crosswise (CW), adjthe direction of the sheet whichis at 90 to the lengthwise direction, and which is normally theweakest direction in flexure.3.2.4.1 DiscussionFor some materials, including the rawmaterials used for manufacture of materials considered herein,this di

(1.14 mm) and under inthickness, and Procedure B for conditioning material over0.045 in. in thickness. In case of dispute in t
27、ests of materialsover 0.045 in. in thickness, the material shall be exposed for48 h at standard laboratory atmosphere prior to conditioning byProcedure B.4.2 Vulcanized fibre shall be conditioned for electrical testsin accordance with Practice D6054, using Procedure A. In caseof dispute, a referee t
28、est shall be used in which the time ofexposure to standard laboratory atmosphere is increased to aminimum period of seven days for all thicknesses.4.2.1 The following are the typical reasons to undertakeconditioning of specimens: (1) for the purpose of bringing thematerial into equilibrium with norm
29、al or average room condi-tions of 23C and 50% relative humidity, (2) to obtainreproducible results regardless of the previous history ofexposure, or (3) to subject the material to various conditions oftemperature or humidity in order to predict its service behavior.4.2.2 It is possible that the cond
30、itioning of Procedure Bprescribed in Practice D6054 to obtain reproducible results willgive physical values somewhat higher or somewhat lower thanthe values at equilibrium under normal conditions, dependingupon the test. This procedure for conditioning is used becauseof the relatively short time req
31、uired. To bring the material to anequilibrium condition in a controlled humidity would require along period of time which might extend over many months, forexample, for thicknesses over 25 mm. The exact length of timewould depend upon such factors as thickness, grade, andprevious history of the spec
32、imens, and it would be too long forordinary commercial test purposes. It is probably possible toreduce the time of exposure for some very thin sizes of materialconditioned in accordance with ProcedureA, but sufficient dataon the various thicknesses are not yet available to permit adecision to be mad
33、e.METHODS APPLICABLE TO SHEETS, TUBES, ANDRODS5. Water Absorption5.1 Significance and UseThis test method is a guide forthe proportion of water absorbed in vulcanized fibre sheets,tubes, and rods and to the effects thereof on certain electricaland mechanical properties. It also is useful in determin
34、ing theuniformity of quality in these materials.5.2 ProcedureDetermine water absorption in accordancewith Test Method D570 on specimens dried in an oven for 1 hat 105 to 110C prior to immersion in water.6. Ash6.1 Significance and UseThis test method provides aprocedure for determining the amount of
35、ash of a driedspecimen, something potentially useful in determining thecontinuity of quality.4Available from American National Standards Institute, 11 W. 42nd St., 13thFloor, New York, NY 10036.D619 1426.2 Test SpecimenThe test specimen shall consist of 2 to 5g of vulcanized fibre in the form of fin
36、ely divided particles,such as millings or filings.6.3 ProcedureDry the test specimen for2hat105to110C and weigh. Then ignite the specimen to constant weightin a crucible and reweigh. Calculate the percentage of ash,based on the weight of the dried specimen.6.4 ReportReport the following information:
37、6.4.1 Identification of the material, and6.4.2 The percentage by weight of ash.6.5 Precision and Bias:6.5.1 This test method has been used for many years, but noinformation has been presented to ASTM upon which to basea precision statement. No activity has been planned to developsuch information.6.5
38、.2 This test method has no bias because the value forpercentage of ash is determined solely in terms of this testmethod itself.7. Silica7.1 Significance and UseThis test method is useful indetermining the continuity of quality of vulcanized fibre sheets,tubes, and rods and in providing a means of ev
39、aluating changesin the leaching medium and the efficiency of the leachingprocess.7.2 Test SpecimenThe test specimen shall consist ofapproximately3gofvulcanized fibre in the form of finelydivided particles, such as millings or filings.7.3 ProcedureDry the test specimen for1hat105to110C. Transfer the
40、dried specimen to a crucible and slowlyignite it to constant weight. Wet the ash with distilled water andtransfer to a heat-resistant glass beaker. Add about 75 mL ofHCl (sp gr 1.19) and cover the beaker with a watchglass.Evaporate the contents of the beaker to dryness. To the residueslowly add 10 m
41、L of HCl (sp gr 1.19) followed by 75 mL ofdistilled water. Filter the mixture through ashless filter paperand wash with cold water, then with warm water, until thefiltrate is free of chlorides. Ignite the filter paper to constantweight in a weighed platinum crucible. Then add 4 mL of HF(48 to 60 %)
42、and apply heat until all white fumes are driven off.Cool and weigh the crucible. The difference between thisweight and the previous one indicates silicon present as silica.The results shall be expressed as a percentage of the weight ofthe dried specimen. (WarningBoth hydrochloric acid (HCl)and hydro
43、fluoric acid (HF) are corrosive and toxic. Take careto avoid spillage and contact with the skin. Evaporate solutionsof these acids in a well-ventilated fume hood.)7.4 ReportReport the following information:7.4.1 Identification of the material, and7.4.2 The percentage by weight of silica.7.5 Precisio
44、n and Bias:7.5.1 This test method has been used for many years, but noinformation has been presented to ASTM upon which to basea precision statement. No activity has been planned to developsuch information.7.5.2 This test method has no bias because the value forpercentage of silica is determined sol
45、ely in terms of this testmethod itself.8. Volatile Matter8.1 Significance and UseThe presence of high levels ofvolatile matter has the potential to be detrimental to the use ofvulcanized fibre sheets, tubes, and rods in some electricalapplications. It is possible that data on volatile content will b
46、ehelpful to determine the suitability for a particular applicationand to determine the continuity of quality.8.2 PurposeThis test method is intended for the rapiddetermination of the amount of moisture and other volatilematter in vulcanized fibre of all grades and thicknesses.8.3 Test SpecimensPrepa
47、re the test specimen which con-sists of the minimum number of pieces of fibre required to givea total weight of at least 1 g, as follows:8.3.1 SheetsFor sheets less than116 in. (1.59 mm) inthickness, the pieces for the test specimen shall be 75 by 25mm by the thickness of the sheet; for sheets116 in
48、. and over inthickness, the pieces for the test specimen shall be 75 by 3 mmby the thickness of the sheet. The pieces shall be band-sawedor sheared from the sample so as to produce smooth edges freeof cracks. The sawed faces shall be sanded or filed to removeany protruding sections that might be bro
49、ken off during thetest. The sample shall be sawed slowly so that the fibre is notheated appreciably. The thickness of the specimens shall bemeasured to the nearest 0.001 in. (0.025 mm) in the directionperpendicular to the natural faces of the original sample.8.3.2 TubesFor tubes less than116 in. (1.59 mm) in wallthickness, the pieces for the test specimen shall be 25-mmlengths.
