1、Designation: C 1511 04 (Reapproved 2009)Standard Test Method forDetermining the Water Retention (Repellency)Characteristics of Fibrous Glass Insulation (Aircraft Type)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 1511; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year ofor
2、iginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a laboratory procedure forevaluating
3、the water absorption potential of blanket insulationfor aircraft, thereby providing a measure of potential weightincrease due to water retention in an aircraft.1.2 The water repellency (or retention) characteristics ofmaterials may be affected by conditions such as contaminationor temperature of the
4、 water. Values obtained as a result of thistest method may not adequately describe the water repellencycharacteristics of materials subject to these conditions.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI u
5、nits that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determin

Terminology3.1 DefinitionsTerminology C 168 shall be considered asapplying to the terms used in this specification.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The insulation is weighed then submerged in de-ionized(or distille
8、d) water for 15 min; it is drained for 60 s andreweighed. The amount of water retained is the difference inspecimen weights and is expressed in grams.5. Significance and Use5.1 The water retention of the insulation can result in anincrease in weight and a resultant potential degradation in theproper
9、ties of the insulation.6. Apparatus6.1 The water repellency test apparatus is shown in Fig. 1.6.2 Scale, accurate to 0.1 g.7. Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units7.1 Three specimens shall be tested, taken from across thewidth of a representative package. Sampling techniques shallbe in accordance
10、 with Criteria C 390.7.2 The specimens shall be 10- by 10-in. (254- by 254-mm)by full sample thickness; samples shall be no thicker than 4-in.(100-mm)7.3 The insulation shall be tested without facing or jacket-ing.8. Conditioning8.1 No conditioning of the specimen is required.9. Procedure9.1 Weigh e
11、ach specimen to the nearest 0.1 g.9.2 Float each specimen on the surface of a vat of de-ionized (or distilled) water at 70 6 4F (21 6 2C). Lay a0.25-in. (6.4-mm) mesh rigid screen on top of each specimenand slowly submerge it to a level that is 5 in. (127 mm) belowthe surface of the water. Fix the s
12、creen in position as shown inFig. 1. After 15 6 1 min, release the screen and raise thespecimens slowly until they float. Remove the screen. Gripeach specimen on one corner with a spring clamp and hang itin a vertical position for 60 6 5 s. Reweigh each specimen andrecord.1This test method is under

Calculation or Interpretation of Results10.1 Determine water retained by each specimen by sub-tracting the original specimen weight from the final specimenweight. Calculate water repellency by averaging the results ofthe three specimens.11. Report11.1
16、The report shall include the following:11.2 Name and any additional identification of the materialtested,11.3 Thickness of the material,11.4 Number of specimens tests, and11.5 Average weight gain of the specimens.12. Precision and Bias12.1 Interlaboratory Test ProgramAn interlaboratorycomparison was
17、 run in which randomly selected test specimensof one material were tested for water repellency. Four labora-tories participated, with each laboratory testing three speci-mens. Practice E 691 was followed for the design and analysisof the data. All of the test specimens were provided by a singlelabor
18、atory. The details are given in ASTM Research Report: C16-1017.312.2 Test ResultsThe following information on precision,in units of measurement noted, is for the comparison of onematerial and is based on an average of three tests.12.3 PrecisionWater repellency interlaboratory compari-son statistical
