1、Designation: C 283 97 (Reapproved 2002)Standard Test Methods forResistance of Porcelain Enameled Utensils to BoilingAcid1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 283; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the
2、 year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover the determination of theresistance of porcelain enamel coatings used on utensils to
3、attack by boiling acid.1.2 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 determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior
4、 to use.2. Significance and Use2.1 Test Method A provides the producers of porcelainenameled utensils with a quality control method of testing forresistance to boiling acid for parts randomly selected from theproduction line.2.2 Test Method B provides the supplier of porcelainenamel raw materials wi

Preparation of Test Specimens6.1 After the test specimens have been cut from the utensils,file their edges with a triangular file to remove any looseenamel chips.6.2 Thoroughly wash the test specimens
10、with soap andwater to remove any grease picked up in handling. Rinse withdistilled water. Place the specimens in a drier at 220F (104C).After 10 min, remove the test specimens and place them in adesiccator containing calcium chloride.7. Procedure7.1 Level the hot plate, turn the switch on in the hig
11、h heatposition, and allow to preheat for at least1htoobtain auniform temperature over the entire heating element.7.2 Remove the test specimens, one at a time, from thedesiccator, hold at the edges, and inspect the edges for loosechips. Remove any chips found, before the initial weighing.7.3 Weigh ea

This serves as a seal between the test specimenand the heat-resistant glass tube, which shall be placed over it.Place another rubber jar ring on top of the
16、 glass tube, set thecover-plate on it, and clamp in place by tightening the wingnuts. Tighten the wing nuts until a seal is obtained between theglass tube and the test specimen. This can be determined byinspecting the seal ring, when the nuts are tight enough, theoutside edges of the rubber jar ring

Use the bottom jar rings only twice (once on eachside); then discard for new ones.7.5 Bring approximately 500 mL of the citric acid solutionto boiling, pour 150 mL of the solution into each glass tube,and set the glass condensing tubes in position. Promptly centert
18、he three test units on the hot plate, as shown in Fig. 3, andleave the test units in place for a period of 212h. After thesolutions begin to boil, decrease the wattage input so that thesolutions remain at a rolling boil for the remainder of the testperiod.7.6 At the end of the test period, remove th
19、e units andcondenser tubes from the hot plate and pour out the solutions,then rinse the insides of the tubes and the test specimens withdistilled water, and dismantle the apparatus. Remove the testspecimens, rinse again with distilled water scrub the testspecimens gently with a nylon brush (10 to 12
20、 strokes) toremove loose residue in the attack area, and dry in the drier at220F (104C) for 10 min. Place the specimens in a desiccatorand cool to room temperature.7.7 After the test specimens are cool, again weigh themseparately on the analytical balance.8. Calculations and Report8.1 The difference
21、 between the initial and the final weight ofeach specimen, divided by four, gives the loss in weight persquare inch of exposed area (wetted surface) (Note 2). Take theaverage loss per square inch for three specimens from threeidentical utensils for the boiling-acid resistance of the enamel.NOTE 2Wet
22、ted surface area is that surface which is attacked by thetest solution.8.2 If, however, any one of the three results does not agreewithin 610 % of the average, another set of three plates fromutensils identical with those of the first set shall be tested. Theindividual values of loss in weight per s
23、quare inch for thesecond set of plates shall be averaged with the individualvalues of the first set, any individual value not within 6 10 %of the average for the six plates shall be discarded, and theaverage of the remaining values shall be taken as the boiling-acid resistance of the enamel.in. mm i

25、e test specimens shall consist of three plates 314 in.(82 mm) in diameter, cut from a sheet of raw Utensil Steelstock.12. Preparation of Test Specimens12.1 After the test specimens have been cut from the steelsheet, the edges are rounded with a file to insure uniformcoverage.12.2 The test specimens
26、are then metal prepared by the testusers preferred method (that is, cleaning or nickel flashpickling).12.3 One hole18in. (3.2 mm) in diameter is punched in eachtest specimen, the center of which is14 in. (6.4 mm) from theouter edge of the specimen plate. This hole is necessary forhanging the specime
27、n during firing of the coating being tested.12.4 The enamel coating to be tested may be applied to thethree test plates by dipping or spraying at 30 gms per sq. ft. dry(323 gms per sq. meter). Spraying is the preferred method forminimizing edge beading which may occur during dip appli-cation methods
28、. Glass beads may chip off during the testleading to greater weight losses for that specimen.12.5 The three test specimens (after drying if a wet appli-cation method is used) are fired at the optimum time andtemperature as established in the test users facility.12.6 Thoroughly wash the test specimen
