Scope1.1 This specification covers woven asbestos cloth having aminimum of 75 % asbestos fiber by weight, excluding the massof other inorga
3、nic reinforcing strands which may be present.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the t
4、wo systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 WarningBreathing of asbestos dust is hazardous.Asbestos and asbestos products present demonstrated healthrisks for users and for those with whom they come into contact.In addition to other precautions, when working with asbestos-cement pr

18、1.4.3 Styles:4.3.1 The style designation employed by the ATI uses botha numerical and alphabetical classification. In metallic cloths,the first two digits denote the weight per square yard expressedin ounces. The letter “M” indicates that the fabric is made withmetallic or wire-inserted yarns, and t
19、he final digit or digitsindicate the cut number of the yarns employed. In plain ornon-metallic cloths, the meaning of each numerical designationis the same as that used in the metallic cloth classification. Thealphabetical letter designates the weave used.

Test Methods13.1 Mensuration:13.1.1 ScopeThis test method covers the determination ofthe width, thickness, mass per unit area (weight), fabric count,and yarn number (cut) of woven asbestos cloth.13.1.2 Significance and UseThe mensurations and dimen-sions of woven asbestos cloth are of prime im
33、portance incharacterizing woven asbestos cloth. These dimensions arenecessary (though not sufficient) to establish the cloths suit-ability for specific applications.13.1.3 HazardsWarningsee 1.3.13.1.4 Procedure:13.1.4.1 WidthMeasure the width of the cloth, either onthe full roll or on a short specim
34、en from each sample roll, asdirected in Methods D1910.13.1.4.2 ThicknessMeasure the thickness of the cloth asdirected in Method D1777.

The presser foot andmoving parts connected therewith shall be weighted so as toapply a total load of 170 6 3g66 0.1 oz, equivalent inpressure to 23.4 kPa 3.4 psi to the specimen. Make tenthickness measurements on a specimen from each sample roll.Make no measurement within 75
36、mm 3 in. of any edge of thespecimen, and distribute the places of measurement approxi-mately uniformly over the specimen. Report the calculatedaverage of all measurements as the average thickness of the lot.13.1.4.3 Mass per Unit Area (Weight)From each sampleroll, cut a specimen not less than 0.5 m
37、0.5 yd in length andacross the full width of the cloth, measuring the length andwidth of the specimen to the nearest 2.5 mm 0.1 in. in at leastthree places, using a steel tape or rigid rule.
