Summary of Test Method4.1 The unknown electromagnetic effects of a sample ofasbestos-containing material is compared with those of areference standard in a magnetic
18、analyzer. The inductiveimbalance caused by the magnetic particles in the asbestossamples is amplified and measured with the magnetic analyzer.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method for the determination of magneticrating is considered satisfactory for acceptance testing ofcommercial shipments o
19、f asbestos fibers, papers, felts, yarns,rovings, textile products, rigid sheet products, and granular orpowdered products.5.2 Magnetic rating is one of the measurements used fordetermining the suitability of an asbestos material for electricalinsulation.5.3 The electrical insulating properties of as
20、bestos materialsvary inversely with the magnetic rating. Therefore, a lowmagnetic iron content is required for good electrical insulating.5.4 The types of asbestos textiles classified by magneticrating are described in Specification D2100.6.

Fig. A2.6( b) shows the connections to be madebetween two conventional rectifiers to give the desired recti-fying un
28、it for this apparatus. Fig.A2.6(c) is a simplified sketchof Fig. A2.6(b) corresponding to the sketch of the rectifier unitin Fig. A2.5.A2.6 Indicating InstrumentThe details of the indicatinginstrument are shown in Fig. A2.7. This shall consist of aportable galvanometer G, a resistance network for ad
29、justing theoverall sensitivity and for changing the scale range, and acapacitor for bypassing any alternating current that may bepresent. The galvanometer shall have the following character-istics:Galvanometer resistance, ohms 50Period, s 3Sensitivity, amp per 1-mm scale division 0.040Extreme critic
30、al damping resistance, ohms 700Scale length, mm 100The resistance network shall be made up of stable resistorshaving low-temperature coefficients. The values of these resis-tances are approximate as final adjustment must be made forthe particular equipment being used. The capacitor shall be a50-V el
31、ectrolytic capacitor.A2.7 Test Specimen HolderThe test specimen holder shallconsist of a wooden or plastic tube 25.4 mm in outsidediameter, with an inside diameter of 19.05 mm, and a length of111.125 mm and with two stoppers that extend 19.05 mm intoeach end of the tube.A2.8 Calibration and Standard
32、ization:A2.8.1 With this apparatus the balance is greatly affected bythe proximity of any magnetic materials, as such materialchanges the inductance of the coils. For this reason magneticmaterials should not be used except those that are unavoidableand whose effect can be balanced out, such as the c
33、apacitorsand the assembly bolts through the rectifier. If these parts aremagnetic, the coils shall be mounted with their axes horizontaland parallel, with the capacitors and rectifiers located midwaybetween them. There shall be at least 8 cm between the side ofthe coils and the capacitors. A simple
34、balancing arrangementconsists of a nonmetallic plug, capable of fitting tightly into theend of one of the coils, with a magnetic machine screw throughits center. The center of the plug should be drilled and tappedso that the machine screw can be screwed in or out of the coil.A locking nut should be
35、used to hold this screw in place afterbalance has been obtained. The length and size of this screwcan be determined when the procedure described in A2.8.2 isperformed.FIG.

A2.7 Schematic Diagram of Indicating InstrumentD1118/D1118M 95 (2009)17A2.8.2 For the initial balance, the sensitivity of the indicat-ing instrument must be greatly reduced. This can be done byconnecting a variable resistance of approximately 0 to 100 Vacross the instrumen
37、t connections to the capacitors. Set theresistor at 0, shorting out the instrument, energize the circuitwith a 115-V, 60-Hz supply, and then increase the resistanceslightly until a few millimeters deflection is obtained on thegalvanometer. It will then be found that bringing a magneticscrew near the
38、 end of one of the coils will cause thegalvanometer deflection to decrease to zero and then reverse asthe screw is pushed further into the coil. This indicates that thescrew is bringing the coils into balance and then unbalancingthem in the opposite direction. Then fit the plug into the desiredcoil
39、and lock the screw in the position for zero balance.Increase the shunt across the instrument and adjust the balanc-ing screw to maintain the balance until the coils are balancedwith the resistance at its highest value. Remove the resistanceand readjust the balance. The instrument resistances may now
40、be adjusted to give the desired scale sensitivities. Place anMR1 calibrating standard, as described inAnnexA3, in the testcoil, throw the sensitivity switch to the MR1 position, and varyR4 to give 100-mm deflection. If desired, a smaller variableresistance can be placed in series with R4 to give fin
41、eadjustment of the sensitivity. Throw the sensitivity switch tothe MR6 position and place an MR6 calibrating standard in thetest coil. Adjust R1 keeping the sum of R1+R2 = 700 V, untila 60-mm deflection is obtained on the galvanometer. Ifcalibrating standards of other MR values are available, otherp
42、oints on the scale can be checked and a correction curveobtained, although the deflections are nearly directly propor-tional to the MR values over the range of values used in thisapparatus.A3. CALIBRATION STANDARDS5A3.1 The test method is based historically on measure-ments determined in terms of th
43、e USA National Institute ofStandards and Technology (formerly National Bureau of Stan-dards, NBS) standard sample No. 29a of iron ore magnetite.A3.2 Any standardized iron ore magnetite calibratedagainst the original standard may be used as a primarycalibration standard.A3.3 Sets of primary calibrati
44、on standards are held by thevarious manufacturers of the different types of magneticanalyzers. These are used to standardize the calibration stan-dards supplied with each analyzer.A3.4 To safeguard the calibration standards, a set ofworking standards is also supplied with each magnetic ana-lyzer.A3.
45、5 For those wishing to assemble their own apparatus,secondary and working standards may be prepared as describedin A3.5.1 toA3.5.10 . Since the MR values of the calibratingstandards may be materially changed by tapping, dropping, orexcessive handling (due to segregation and orientation) preparestand
46、ards in duplicate. Use one set as working standards andthe other as pertinent reference standards.A3.5.1 To prepare a calibration or working standard, theapproximate quantity of approved magnetic standard materialshall be dispersed uniformly in a powdered, inert, nonmagneticmaterial occupying a volu
47、me that approximates that of a testsample, namely, a cylinder of internal diameter 19 mm by 73mm in length. An approved magnetic standard material is onethat has the full recognition of the ASTM Committee C-17.A3.5.2 A powdered aluminum oxide or zinc oxide ofanalytical grade, containing not more tha
48、n 0.01 % iron oxides,is deemed to be a suitable inert material. It shall have a particlesize distribution such that 100 % passes through a 150 m (No.100) sieve and 30 to 40 % is retained on a 74 m (No. 200)sieve, when a sample of 50 g is sieved for 10 min using sievesin compliance with Specification

Fill it to the defined volume and tampdown firmly, but not excessively so.A3.5.4 Weigh out, in a suitable nonmagnetic weighingscoop, a quantity of standard magnetite calculated on the basisof 0.15 g approved equivalency per unit of MR, to give therequired calibration value.
