In this case a new specimen shall be substituted and alighter load

22、. Test Specimen6.1 The test specimen shall be the form of a strip approxi-mately 114 in. (31.8 mm) longer than the gage length. Thethickness may be any value between 0.015 and 0.055 in. (0.38and 1.40 mm); however, corresponding width values shallconform with those in Fig. 4. Width and thickness dime
23、nsionsshall be determined with a precision of 60.0001 in. (0.002mm).7. Preparation of Specimen7.1 Gage LengthThe gage length shall be the distance onthe specimen between the center of the punch mark thatsupports the loading rod and the edge of the specimen holderclamps.This punch mark shall be appro
24、ximately one half of thethickness of the specimen deep and located on the center line14 in. (6.4 mm) from the free end on low expansion sidesurface. To obtain the necessary accuracy in gage length, theFIG. 3 Specimen Mounting Clamp DetailsFIG. 4 Width of Test SpecimenB223 08 (2013)3specimen shall be
25、 made as shown in Fig. 5 which, when thespecimen is placed in the specimen mounting clamps, willmaintain the gage length with a tolerance of 60.003 in. (0.08mm). Table 1 gives the gage lengths for various specimenthicknesses.NOTE 1For thicknesses, widths, and lengths not covered by this testmethod,
26、the procedure shall be agreed between the manufacturer and thepurchaser.7.2 After being roughly cut, slit, or sheared from the sample,the test specimen shall be finished to size by careful machiningor filing.7.3 Preforming OperationThe specimen shall be pre-formed into a shape approximating the segm
27、ent of a circle. Theamount of this preforming shall be such that, when subjected tothe desired temperature, the specimen will take an upwardcurvature sufficient to cause the no-load and full-load deflec-tion positions to be approximately equally distant above andbelow the straight position (Fig. 6).
28、7.4 Heat TreatmentAfter the preforming work has beencompleted the specimen shall be heat treated to relieve allinternal stresses. This treatment shall consist of heating thespecimen while free to bend at a prescribed temperature and fora prescribed time. Heat treatment shall be at least 50F higherth
29、an the maximum tested temperature at a soak time of 1 h. Thedetails of this procedure will depend on the characteristics ofthe thermostat metal and shall be mutually agreed upon by themanufacturer and the purchaser.7.5 MarkingAny identification marking shall be placed onthat part of the fixed end of
30、 the specimen not included in thegage length.8. Procedure8.1 CleaningCarefully remove any oxide coating andother foreign substances from all those surfaces which directlyaffect the electrical resistance of the electronic indicator circuitthrough the testing apparatus. This operation is necessary top
31、ermit maximum sensitivity of the indicator. The top of theloading rod which touches the micrometer depth gage shaftmay be ground to a point in order to further increase theindicator sensitivity.8.2 Test RoutineClamp the specimen securely in thespecimen holder using the 0.125-in. (3.18-mm) dowel hole
32、 and0.125-in. dowel pin for accurate positioning. Lower the bottompart of the specimen holder with the specimen into the bath ofthe desired temperature and support the apparatus rigidly. Placethe lower end of the loading rod in the punch mark at the freeend of the specimen. Connect the electronic in
33、dicator toterminals on the specimen holder. When satisfactory initialconditions have been established, adjust the micrometer depthgage until the electronic indicator signals that the gage shaft istouching the loading rod and record this position as the no-loadreading. Deflect the specimen by placing
34、 the load on the loadholder and record this position of the rod as the load reading.The difference between these two readings will be the amountof deflection. Obtain an average value of deflection from ten ormore trials.8.3 Calculation of Modulus of ElasticitySubstituting thespecimen size and the av
