7、ology D883.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 See Test Method D3835, Sections 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3.3.2.2 Flow is the reciprocal of the viscosity; therefore, theflow is defined as the volumetric displacement through acontrolled orifice and is expressed as shear rate over shearstres

8、s.NOTE 2Since PVC obeys the power law function, the above relation-ship can be expressed as follows:(Viscosity) (Shear Rate)1N= (shear stress) in which the shear rate isexpressed as 4Q/pR3and depends on the power law exponent N.Since Q is the volumetric flow rate in terms of cubic millimetres/second

9、and R is the radius of the die, it follows that the flow rate varies muchfaster than the viscosity as a result of N. This means that the flow is muchmore sensitive to change than the viscosity. For PVC, N varies from 0.1to 0.33.3.2.3 Flow rate by this test method is the rate in milligrams/minute at

Summary of Test Method4.1 Conditions:4.1.1 In order to test a wide variation of flow rates coveringsemirigid as well as nonrigid PVC compounds, the followingstandard conditions are

For flow rates in excess of 10 g/10 min (1000mg/min), lower weights are used, for example, color concen-trates used in PVC extrusion may have flow rates in excess of100 g/10 min (10 000 mg/min) and will require a 5-kg load onthe piston.4.2.3 When the flow rates become ve

17、ry small as in the caseof the stiffest semirigid containing 25 parts of plasticizer (flowrates below 15 mg/min), it may be desirable to use the die (flatentry 8 mm (0.315 in.) long) in Test Method D1238. The flowis so slow that little rheological instability exists. By changingthe die, approximately

18、 a tenfold increase in flow is achieved.4.2.4 The charge size is important. Many PVC compoundsare elastic in nature, causing a severe loss in pressure from thebottom of the piston through the material to the orifice of thedie. Evidence indicates that the force to extrude may bereduced by as much as

19、67 % using a 9-g charge and 4.14 MPa(600 psi) on the piston.4.2.5 The plugged orifice should be used in all PVCcompound work since the amount of charge is limited andsince the plugging for various times has been observed to givesignificant variations in the flow rate.5. Significance and Use5.1 This

20、test method is useful for quality-control tests onPVC compounds having a wide range of melt viscosities.Measurements are made at shear rates close to 1 s1.5.2 In addition to the properties mentioned in Test MethodD1238, this technique is sensitive to plasticizer content,polymer molecular weight, pol

21、ymer stability (both thermallyand rheologically), shear instability, and general composition.The sensitivity of the material to temperature necessitatesslightly tighter controls than those stated in Test MethodD1238.5.3 The sensitivity of this test method makes it useful forcorrelating with processi

22、ng conditions and as an aid in predict-ing changes in processing. However, as a one-point measure offlow relative to shear rate, its one drawback is that the samePVC melt flow values can be obtained for materials havingdifferent processibility; the chance of this happening is mini-mized, however, if

23、 the compounds are similar in composition.5.4 Correlations with a wide range of processing conditionshave supported the conclusions that little or no change incomposition occurs during the test. Thus, this test is able todetect and follow profound changes which occur duringextrusion, injection moldi

24、ng, milling, or mixing. Thesechanges are due to three types of measured instability inpolymers:5.4.1 Thermal instability due to temperature effect.5.4.2 Shear instability due to breaking of polymer bonds.5.4.3 Rheological instability due to nonuniform distribu-tions of widely different viscosity or

25、molecular weight ele-ments.5.4.4 Thus, implications with respect to PVC molecularstructural changes can be detected and predicted.6. Apparatus6.1 PlastometerThe apparatus is identical to that used inTest Method D1238 except for the die. An alternative thermo-regulator is suggested for improved tempe

26、rature control.6.2 Die:6.2.1 The die is approximately three times as long as the oneused in Test Method D1238, a major factor in controlling anyrheological instability in the polymer. If instability still occurs,particularly at high flow rates, dies 2 in. or longer can be usedto improve the L/D rati

27、o. The dimensions of the regular die areshown in Fig. 1.6.3 ThermoregulatorAlthough a thermoregulator identi-cal to that used in Test Method D1238 may be used (providedit regulates to 175 6 0.1C), a unit3coupled with a 90 anglethermometer, divided into 0.1C is suggested for improvedreproducibility.

28、Most regulators designed for Test MethodD1238 cannot control better than 60.2C. The sensitivity ofthis test method is illustrated by the fact that a 19 % change inflow rate is observed on a typical PVC compound with a 1Cchange in temperatures.3The “Thermo Watch” unit, manufactured by Instruments for

30、conditionsin accordance with Test Method D1238 (12 in. above theshorter orifice).7. Procedure7.1 Check that the temperature is controlled to 60.1C inthe range from 174.9 to 175.1C.7.2 The apparatus must be clean.7.3 With the die in place, plug the orifice (a sharpened wooddowel is a satisfactory plu

31、g).7.4 Allow the die and plug to heat at least 3 min.7.5 Start the stopwatch and charge 2.15 6 0.05 g of thePVC compound into the bore. When charging is complete,pack down the PVC with the phenolic-coated charging tool byrepeated thrusts.7.6 Place the piston in the bore and add sufficient weights to

32、make the total mass including the piston equal to 20 kg 6 10g. The entire time of charging and positioning of weightsshould take no longer than 1 min and preferably less than12min. If charging time is greater than 1 min, clean out theinstrument and repeat the procedure.7.7 When the stopwatch reads e

33、xactly 360 s (6 min), pull theplug from the orifice.7.8 At this time (6 min) and without stopping the stopwatch,cut off the extruded portion very cleanly with the spatulaexactly when the second hand of the watch reaches zero. Passthe tip of the spatula upward along one side of the beveledhole, light

34、ly across the bottom of the orifice, and downwardalong the opposite side. Make the cut quickly and neatly forbest precision.Aclean sharp cut is desirable so that succeedingportions will extrude straight, not curled. It may be necessaryto reshape the end of the cutoff tool to obtain the best results.

35、7.9 The time for cutting the specimen shall be in accordancewith Table 1. As a guide, each specimen should be about 20 to30 mm long.7.10 Place the cut specimen in the slotted tray in the ordertaken.7.11 Continue to take specimens up to and including 42 minor until flow stops, whichever is sooner.7.1

36、2 Weigh and record the results to the closest 1 mg.Average the five successive most stable values near the end ofthe run and express as milligrams per minute. This averagevalue is the PVC flow rate. Do not use the first two or last twovalues since these are normally unstable values.NOTE 3Occasionall

37、y, the values change throughout the run. This maybe due to variable lubricant conditions at the metal surfaces or chemicalchanges in the PVC compound. Under these conditions, average thevalues after discarding the first three values and the last two. The cause ofthis unstable condition should be stu

38、died and understood.7.13 Of the five stable specimens, subtract the weight of thefifth from that of the first. Divide the difference by the averageand multiply by 100. Report as percent PVC instability.Fluctuations up and down repeatedly during a run can indicatenonuniform mixing or a bad charging t

If the differencebetween the two specimens is greater than 0.15 mm (0.006 in.)(the normal PVC swell, observed for a wide range of PVCcompounds), report the total difference as PVC swellin

40、ginstability. Be careful not to squeeze the specimen; the speci-men should fit the micrometer setting easily, but not quite fallfree.7.15 Remove the weights and piston, and clean the pistonwith a cloth.7.16 Push the die out of the top of the cylinder with thepush-out tool. Push out any molten PVC in

41、 the orifice with theorifice broach. Put the die (hot) into methyl ethyl ketone inorder to break the PVC skin away from the orifice. Dry off thecooled die with a cloth and inspect to see that the orifice isclean. At least twice a day check the orifice with the “go-no-go” gage.7.17 Clean up the cylin

42、der, replace the die, and insert theplug. The instrument is now ready for the next test. Return to7.4.8. Calculation8.1 The simple average of the five values is first posted asthe milligrams per time scale. The PVC melt flow value is thenobtained by adjusting the value to milligrams per minute (seeT

43、able 2).8.2 The instability is measured by subtracting the weight ofthe fifth or last specimen from the first specimen. The value forthe instability will then be positive or negative.

48、 3 is based on a round robin4conducted in 1991in accordance with Practice E691, involving three materialstested by seven laboratories. For each material, all the sampleswere prepared at one source, but the individual specimens wereprepared at the laboratories which tested them. Each test resultwas t

49、he average of five individual determinations. Each labo-ratory obtained three test results for each material.(WarningThe following explanations of r and R (10.1.2-10.1.2.3) are intended only to present a meaningful way ofconsidering the approximate precision of this test method. Thedata in Table 3 should not be rigorously applied to acceptanceor rejection of material, as those data are specific to the roundrobin and may not be representative of other lots, conditions,materials, or laboratories.
