Add 2drops of wetting agent (liquid detergent) to
19、 the water in orderto reduce the surface tension and ensure complete wetting ofthe specimen.7.1.5 Tensile Strength and ElongationDetermine the ten-sile strength and elongation as specified in 7.1.5.1-7.1.5.3 onfive transverse specimens, using a testing speed of 50.8 mm (2in.)/min. Average the test r
20、esults for the longitudinal and thetransverse specimens separately. Discard specimens that breakin the jaws of the tension tester, and make new tests.7.1.5.1 Tubing Having an Inside Diameter of 15.9 mm(0.625 in.) and OverDetermine the tensile strength andelongation in both the longitudinal and trans

Placeloops over the drum of a standard wire specimen holder in thetension-testing machine and pull in this position.7.1.6 Dimensional StabilityCut three specimens each 305mm (12 in.) long, measured to the nearest 1.6 mm (116 in.).Place the specimens in a circulating-air oven at 200
24、 6 2C for3 h. Then remove the specimens from the oven and allow tocool to 23 6 2C (73.4 6 3.6F). Again measure the length tothe nearest 1.6 mm (116 in.). Calculate the change in length asa percentage of the original length.8. Inspection and Certification8.1 The tubing shall be visually and dimension
25、ally in-spected to verify compliance with the requirements of thisspecification.8.2 For all products, the purchaser shall be furnished acertification that this lot is made from only virgin PFA and thatthe sample representing each lot has been either tested orinspected as directed in this specificati
