Summary of Test Method4.1 A section of a ceramic fiber support medium (string) isimp
9、regnated with the sample under specific conditions. Theimpregnated fiber is placed on a standard support. The sampleis ignited and the time required for the flame front to propagateacross a measured distance is determined by use of a thermo-electric system. The average propagation rate is then calcu
10、latedfrom the measured distance of flame travel and the timerequired for the flame front to propagate over that distance.5. Significance and Use5.1 The linear flame propagation rate of a sample is aproperty that is relevant to the overall assessment of theflammability or relative ignitability of fir
11、e resistance lubricantsand hydraulic fluids. It is intended to be used as a bench-scaletest for distinguishing between the relative resistance to igni-tion of such materials. It is not intended to be used for theevaluation of the relative flammability of flammable, extremelyflammable, or volatile fu
12、els, solvents, or chemicals.6. Apparatus6.1 Apparatus for measurement of linear flame propagationrates:6.1.1 Open Top Stainless Steel Box, as shown in Fig. 1.6.1.2 Recorder, stripchart, fast responses. A zero-centeredrecorder with a 65 mV range and a one-half second full-scaledeflection capacity has
13、 been found to be satisfactory. A chartspeed of at least 1 in./min has been used for most studies.6.1.3 Differential Thermocouple Pair, 30 gage with barejunctions and double fiberglass wrap insulation, ISA, Type J orType K may be prepared from any premium grade thermo-couple wire.1This test method i

Ceramic fiber size used shall be agreedupon by supplier and consumer and shall be specified in testreport.7.3 Ignition Source, any paper book matches or woodenkitchen matches can be used.8. Procedure8.1 Tie small loops in each end of a 500 mm section ofceramic fiber support (string). Place
19、 a few millilitres of thesample to be studied in an evaporating dish. Immerse theceramic fiber support (string) in the liquid sample for 60 s.Avoid immersion of the loops at the end of the string.8.2 While the ceramic fiber support (string) is immersed inthe sample, carefully wrap an absorbent paper
20、 wiper around the15 mm diameter chrome plated rod. Leave one end of the roduncovered by the wiper.8.3 Remove the ceramic fiber support (string) section fromthe liquid sample and attach a 50 g weight to the loop at eachend. Fix the chrome-plated rod with its absorbent paperwrapping in a horizontal po
21、sition and hang the soaked stringsection with attached weights over the unwrapped section ofthe rod. Press down gently on the uppermost weight to causethe soaked string to pass over the bare rod, flexing gently as itmoves. When the lower weight has been drawn up to the rod,reverse the process until
22、the first weight has again been drawnup the rod. Repeat the cycle four times to work the samplethoroughly into the string.8.4 Transfer the string with attached weights to the coveredportion of the chrome-plated rod. Pass the string over theabsorbent paper in the manner described in 8.3. After eachco
23、mplete double cycle, lift the string from the paper, rotate itthrough 180 as it is held taut in a vertical position and thenreplace it on a fresh area of the absorbent medium. Again passthe string over the paper in the manner described in 8.3. Repeatuntil four double cycles have been completed.8.5 P
24、lace the string support and thermocouple holder in adraft-free hood with the ventilation turned off. Level theapparatus with a spirit level. Place the prepared string on thestring supports. The attached weights should be left in place toprovide tension in the string. Adjust the differential thermo-c
25、ouple junctions so that they are exactly 2 mm directly abovethe string. Connect the differential thermocouple pair to thefast-response, zero-centered strip chart recorder.8.6 Start the recorder chart after an appropriate warm-upperiod. With an ignition source, ignite the sample on the stringnear its
26、 support at one end of the apparatus. Permit the flame toadvance along the string past each thermocouple until itextinguishes itself upon reaching the opposite string support.Stop the recorder and start the hood ventilator to exhaust thecombustion products of the sample. (WarningTake extremecare to
27、avoid inhalation of the combustion products as ex-tremely toxic substances are formed during the combustion ofsome synthetic materials, especially halogenated andphosphorus-based compounds.)8.7 Measure the horizontal distance between the thermo-couples and interval between the first thermal effects
28、as shownin Fig. 2. From the measured interval, the chart speed of therecorder and the known horizontal distance between thermo-couples in the test apparatus, calculate and report the horizontallinear flame propagation rate in millimetres per second. If theflame does not advance during the experiment
29、al run, or if itextinguishes itself before passing both thermocouples, recordthat fact. Replicate runs shall be made as required.4The sole source of supply of the ceramic fiber known to the committee at thistime is Nextel Ceramic Fiber, manufactured by the 3M Company, 219-1-1, 3MCenter, St. Paul, MN

32、 mm/s, andp = distance measured peak to peak between thermaleffects, mm (see Fig. 2).10. Precision and Bias510.1 Precision:10.1.1 Eight laboratories participated in a collaborativestudy to determine the precision and bias of this test method.The study was conducted by sending seven different fluids
33、toparticipating laboratories. Since two different test procedureswere used in Laboratory Number 4, some data were reportedfor Lab 4 and Lab 4A. For analysis purposes, Lab 4 and 4Awere treated as independent, resulting in a total of ninelaboratories.10.1.2 The seven fluids used in the study are: Sili
34、cate EsterI, Phosphate Ester, MIL-H-5606, MIL-H-83282 I, MIL-H-5606 II, MIL H-83282 II, and Silicate Ester II. Each fluid wasused in conjunction with two support materials,34 and45 .Each combination of fluid and support was replicated fivetimes.10.1.3 Appendix X1 contains a table of summary data. Th
35、eaverage flame propagation rate in millimetres per second isreported for each fluid and support combination for eachlaboratory. This was calculated from five replicates, except asnoted. An overall average and a standard deviation, S, for eachcombination of fluid and support materials is reported as
36、well.Note that all values in Table X1.1 are reported to threesignificant figures since the majority of raw data points werereported that way. Laboratories 4, 4A, and 8 reported twosignificant figures while Laboratory 7 reported four significantfigures.10.1.4 Annex A1 contains a table of precision st
37、atistics. Therepeatability standard deviation, Sr, refers to an intralabvariation. The reproducibility standard deviation, SR, refers tolab-to-lab variation. The 95 % repeatability and reproducibilitylimits are r and R, respectively.10.1.5 The precision of this test method as obtained bystatistical
38、examination of interlaboratory test results is asshown in 10.1.5.1 and 10.1.5.2.10.1.5.1 The difference between successive test results ob-tained by the same operator with the same apparatus underconstant operating conditions on identical test material, wouldin the long run, in the normal and correc

No independent
41、measurement isavailable upon which to base a statement of test bias. No biasstatement is possible for this reason.11.
