1、Designation: C 949 80 (Reapproved 2007)Standard Test Method forPorosity in Vitreous Whitewares by Dye Penetration1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 949; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year o
2、f 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 This test method covers procedures for detecting pores,cracks, or other voids that may be present in otherwiseimper
3、meable whiteware ceramics, or as porosity in underfiredware.NOTE 1This test method was partially derived from ANSI C29.1.1.2 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-p
4、riate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use2.

5、itions:3.1.1 For definitions of terms used in this test method, referto Terminology C 242.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Randomly selected unglazed fragments of vitreouswhiteware products are immersed in a fuchsine dye solution, atone or more pressures for prescribed times. After drying, thespecimens
6、are broken and inspected for the extent of dyepenetration into the body, or into defects present in the body.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a means for readily determin-ing if a ceramic is properly fired (matured). Penetration of anyextent may negate the usefulness of the ceram
7、ic, or, arbitrarily,some degree of penetration may be acceptable for the use orcommercial quality of the item being tested.6. Apparatus6.1 Vessel, capable of applying and holding a pressure of10 000 psi (68.9 MPa).6.1.1 Fig. 1 illustrates a satisfactory device.NOTE 2Fig. 1 does not represent the onl
8、y possible design or configu-ration. It is representative of a device that has been successfully used.6.1.2 Fig. 2 illustrates an actual device and typical ex-amples.6.1.3 Fig. 3 illustrates an assembled device, including fix-ture, under pressure.7. Testing Solution7.1 Use a solution consisting of1g
9、ofbasic fuchsine dyedissolved in 1 L of 50 % alcohol.NOTE 3The alcohol used should not react with the dye to causefading.8. Preparation of Test Specimens8.1 Use freshly broken fragments, approximately14 in. (6mm) in the smallest dimension, up to34 in. (19 mm) in thelargest dimension, of the whitewar
10、e ceramic. At least 75 % ofthe surface shall be free of glaze or other surface treatment.9. Procedure9.1 Immerse the test specimens in the testing solution withinthe pressure chamber, and9.2 Apply a minimum pressure of 4000 psi (27.6 MPa) fornot less than 5 h, or9.3 Apply a minimum 10 000 psi (68.9
11、MPa) for not lessthan2h,or9.4 Immerse the specimens in the testing solution at atmo-spheric pressure, in an open vessel, for any period of timeappropriate to the needs of the tester.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee C21 on CeramicWhitewares and Related Products and is the

Examination10.1 After following the procedures in 9.2, 9.3,or9.4, dryand break the test specimen for examination.10.2 Porosity is indicated by penetration of the dye into thesp
15、ecimens to an extent visible to the unaided eye.10.3 Disregard penetration into small fissures formed inpreparing the test specimens.11. Report11.1 Report the following information:11.1.1 Whether penetration occurred and to what depth,11.1.2 Pressure used, and11.1.3 Time under pressure.12. Precision
16、 and Bias12.1 This test method is qualitative and is liable to subjec-tive interpretation. Within a given laboratory, agreement shouldbe possible between several operators whether penetrationexceeds in-house acceptance standards.13.
