1、Designation: D 3769 05Standard Test Method forMicrocellular UrethanesHigh-Temperature Sag1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3769; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A numb
2、er in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the procedure and apparatus formeasuring high-temperature sag of microcellular urethanematerials.1.2 The values s
3、tated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.1.3 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 reg
4、ulatory limitations prior to use.NOTE 1There is no similar or equivalent ISO standard to this testmethod.2.

Significance and Use3.1 This test method is used to indicate the deformationtendency of microcellular materials that may occur duringpaint application in an assembly plant operati
6、on. Since astandard specimen is used, heat sag measurements cannot beassumed to be exactly those which will occur on a part duringor after the paint application and baking operation of anassembly process.3.2 Before proceeding with this test method, referenceshould be made to the specification of the
7、 material being tested.Any test specimen preparation, conditioning, or dimensions, orcombination thereof, and testing parameters covered in thematerials specification shall take precedence over those men-tioned in these test methods. If there are no material specifi-cations, then the default conditi
8、ons apply.NOTE 2This test method is applicable to solid urethanes.4. Apparatus4.1 Test Fixture, capable of holding the specimens in a fixedcantilever position for the duration of the entire test procedure.The test fixture shall be constructed from a material such asaluminum or steel that exhibits a
9、low coefficient of linearthermal expansion and therefore allows the test fixtures heightto be considered constant through the test. See Fig. 1.4.2 Oven, conforming to the specifications for a Type IAlaboratory oven in accordance with Specification E 145.4.3 Scaled Rule, accurate to 1 mm.1This test m

Test Specimens5.1 The test specimen shall have a minimum length of 125mm, and be 25 6 1 mm in width by the nominal thickness ofthe plaqu
14、e or part. The recommended standard test specimen is4 mm in thickness. The minimum specimen thickness shall be3 mm.5.2 Three specimens to each material shall be tested.NOTE 3If test specimens are cut from parts, the specimens must becut from areas that are of constant thickness; that is, no ribs, bo
15、sses, holes,or other section changes are allowed.6. Conditioning6.1 Unless otherwise specified, condition the specimens andfixture a minimum of1hat236 2C and 50 6 5 % relativehumidity before testing.7. Procedure7.1 Measure the thickness in the clamping area of the testspecimen to the nearest 0.03 mm
16、.7.2 Clamp the specimen in the fixture with a 100 6 1mmunsupported overhang. Primed or painted surfaces are to bemounted facing up.7.3 After 5 min, measure the distance between the base andthe unsupported end of the specimen as shown in Fig. 1 andcall this Ao.7.4 Place the clamped specimen in an air
17、-circulating oven atthe test temperature of 120 6 1C for 60 6 1 min.7.5 After oven aging, remove the fixture with the specimenfrom the oven.7.6 After 5 min, repeat the measurement as in 7.3 for Aoandcall this distance Af.NOTE 4Other combinations of test temperatures, test times, andoverhang lengths
18、are permitted subject to prior agreement between the testrequestor and the testing facility.These conditions are to be included in thetest report.8. Calculation8.1 Sag = Ao Af.9. Report9.1 The report shall include the following:9.1.1 Direction of cutting,9.1.2 Conditioning procedures before testing,
19、9.1.3 Time and temperature of the test,9.1.4 Initial value at 23C, average of three,9.1.5 Final sag value at test temperature, average of three,and9.1.6 Specimen thickness.10. Precision and Bias10.1 Table 1 is based on a round robin conducted in 1980 inaccordance with Practice D 3040, involving thre
20、e materialstested by four laboratories. For each material, all the sampleswere prepared at one source and the individual specimens werealso prepared at one source. Each test result consisted of oneindividual determination. Each laboratory obtained four testresults for each material. (WarningThe expl
21、anation of r(10.2-10.2.2) is only intended to present a meaningful way ofconsidering the approximate precision of these test methods.The data in Table 1 should not be applied to acceptance orrejection of materials, as these data apply only to the materialstested in the round robin and are unlikely t
22、o be rigorouslyrepresentative of other lots, formulations, conditions, materials,or laboratories. Users of this test method should apply theprinciples outlined in Practice E 691 to generate data specificto their materials and laboratory (or between specific labora-tories). The principles of 10.2-10.
23、2.2 would then be valid forsuch data.)10.2 Concept of r in Table 1If Srhas been calculated froma large enough body of data, and for test results that wereaverages from testing three specimens for each test result, then:10.2.1 RepeatabilityTwo test results obtained within onelaboratory shall be judge
24、d not equivalent if they differ by morethan the r value of that material. r is the interval representingthe critical difference between two test results for the samematerial, obtained by the same operator using the sameequipment on the same day in the same laboratory.10.2.2 Any judgment in accordanc
25、e with 10.2.1 would havean approximate 95 % (0.95) probability of being correct.10.3 There are no recognized standards by which to esti-mate bias of this test method.11.
