The methods of testing specified, as applicable, shall be followed for each lot (production batch). The lot shall be expressed in pounds (kg). The sample unit for testing shall be o
6、ne pound (0.46 kg) composite, as applicable, selected in equal portions from samples selected at random throughout the lot. The samples shall be selected in the frequency listed below and thoroughly mixed to form the composite. The composite shall be placed in a clean, dry container with a minimum o
7、f air space within and then sealed to protect against moisture. All test reports shall contain the individual values utilized in expressing the final results. The lot shall be unacceptable if the average of determinations on the composite sample fails to meet any of the test requirements specified.
8、LOT SIZE Pounds (kg) 800 or less 801 up to in including 22,000 22,001 or more SAMPLE FREQUENCY 2 3 5 2.2.2 Moisture Content. Determine the loss in weight of a 10 g specimen, previously reduced to a size that will pass a No. 4 mesh screen, by drying for 16 hours in a well ventilated oven heated at 10
9、5“ I 3“ C and using the following calculation: Moisture content, percent = (original weight of specimen - wt. of specimen after drying) x 100 (original weight of specimen) 2.2.3 Viscosity. Three separate solutions of the adhesive shall be prepared as follows: Enough adhesive sample shall be taken (c
10、alculated from the moisture content previously determined under 2.2.2), to give the equivalent of 13.20 10.05 g of dry adhesive (for example, 15 g if the adhesive contains 12 percent moisture) and placed in a standard wide- mouthed bottle, 150-ml capacity with an inside diameter of 59 I2 mm, an outs
11、ide diameter of 66 Il mm, and an overall height of 85 I2 mm. The bottle shall be fitted with a No. 9 rubber stopper. Enough distilled water shall be added to the adhesive to make a total of 106.80 10.05 g of water including that naturally contained in the adhesive (for example 105 g of distilled wat
12、er if the adhesive has 12 percent moisture content). This will give an eleven percent solution of adhesive. The adhesive and water shall be thoroughly mixed by stirring with a glass rod and then allowed to stand at a temperature of 10 to 15OC for at least 16 hours. The solution shall then be melted
13、by raising the temperature of the solution to 6OOC. The time required to bring the solution to 6OoC shall not exceed 15 minutes. pipette viscometer, or any other suitable viscometer capable of measuring viscosity in millipoise (mPa.s). The instrument must be equipped to hold the adhesive solution at
14、 approximately a constant temperature. The temperature of the adhesive solution shall be held at 60 IO.2OC and the determination made as soon as the solution has uniformly reached the required temperature. Care should be exercised in filling to see that air is not trapped in the viscometer or in the
15、 The viscosity determination shall be made in a standard jacketed 2 Licensed by Information Handling ServicesA-A- 95 92 54 adhesive solution. A stopwatch, graduated in fifths of a second, shall be used to measure the time required for the solution to pass through the orifice of the instrument. The v
16、iscosity shall be expressed in millipoisis (mPa.s) and shall be the average of three determinations. 2.2.4 Jelly Strength. The samples from the viscosity test shall be placed in the standard containers described under 2.2.3, and used for the jelly strength determination. The adhesive solutions shoul
17、d be free of air or foam. The solutions shall be allowed to cool in the standard stoppered bottles to approximately 45OC and any water of condensation shall be mixed thoroughly with the solution. The bottles shall then be placed in a chamber or batch controlled at 10 I 0.1OC for 16 to 18 hours. The
18、determination of jelly-strength of each of the three solutions shall be made on a Bloom gelometer or equivalent apparatus adjusted to give a 4 mm depression and to deliver a load of 40 g per second to the surface of the Jelly. The test must be completed within 2 minutes from the removal of the sampl
19、e from the cooling chamber. The jelling-strength shall be reported in grams and shall be the average of the three determinations. 2.2.5 pH Value. Portions of the solutions upon which the viscosity and jelly-strength tests were made or other samples of equal concentration shall be used to determine t
20、he pH of the adhesive. Determine the pH of solution per ASTM E 70, pH of Aqueous Solutions with Glass Electrode. 2.2.6 Foam. Portions of the samples used in the viscosity and jelly- strength tests or other samples of equal concentration shall be used for a determination of the tendency to foam. Seve
21、nty-five ml of the solution at 6OoC shall be placed in the standard container described under 2.2.3, and agitated with a stirrer or propeller. The stirrer shall be placed in the lower one-half of the solution and the speed of the stirrer during test shall be between 13,000 and 15,000 rpm. The soluti
22、on shall be agitated for 1 minute and then allowed to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, at the end of which there shall be not more than 25 mm of foam. 2.2.7 Odor and Keeping Qualities. A 50 ml or larger portion of the adhesive solution used in previous tests shall be placed in a covered con
23、tainer and held in an incubator at 37 to 38OC for 48 hours. At the end of this time, it shall be free from any odor or decomposition. 3 Licensed by Information Handling ServicesA-A- 95 92 54 3.
