41、 METHOD FOR MEASUREMENT OF THICKNESS OF COATING OVER SCRIM (REINFORCING FABRIC)FOR TYPE II SHEETA1.1 Scope This is a method for measuring the thickness ofthe coating over the reinforcing fabric.A1.2 Measurement Method Principle The thickness ofcoating material over reinforcing fabric can beobserved
42、with a standard reflectance microscope.Measurement is made with a calibrated eyepiece.A1.3 Apparatus:A1.3.1 Microscope, 603 with reticle.A1.3.2 Light Source If light source on the microscope isnot adequate, a small tensor lamp can also be used.A1.3.3 Stage Micrometer, 0.0254-mm (0.001-in.) divisions
43、.A1.4 Procedure:A1.4.1 Calibration:A1.4.1.1 Place a standard reflectance stage micrometer inplace of the specimen.A1.4.1.2 Turn on microscope light source.A1.4.1.3 Position the reticle eyepiece and the micrometersuch that the scales are superimposed. Focus the reticle byturning the eyepiece. Focus t
44、he specimen and reticle by turningthe vertical adjustment knob.A1.4.1.4 Locate a point at which both scales line up. Countthe number of micrometer divisions away. Measure to thenearest 0.0125 mm (0.5 mil). The calibration may be optimizedin increasing the number of divisions measured.A1.4.1.5 Repeat
45、 the calibration three times and average theresults.A1.4.2 Specimen Analysis:A1.4.2.1 Carefully center a sharp single edge razor orequivalent over the fiber intersections along thexxline.A1.4.2.2 Make a clean bias cut completely through the liner.A1.4.2.3 Remove the razor cut section and mount in co
46、m-mon putty with the cut surface facing upward.A1.4.2.4 Observe the cut surface with the eyepiece reticle.Measure the thickness of the coating on either side of thethread intersection by counting the number of reticle divisions(to the nearest one-half division).A1.4.2.5 Sample two or three areas of
47、the coatings andaverage the results.A1.5 Calculation:A1.5.1 Calibration:A1.5.1.1 A calibration example follows:In this example, 4.5 micrometer divisions (MD) are equal to4 reticle divisions (RD).4 RD 5 4.5 MD (A1.1)1 RD 5 4.5/4 MD (A1.2)1 RD 5 1.125 MD (A1.3)One micrometer division is equal to 0.025
48、4 mm (1 mil),therefore:1 RD 5 0.0286 mm 1.125 mils (A1.4)This calculated value (0.0286 mm (1.125 mils) in thesample) is the calibration factor.A1.5.1.2 SpecimensMultiply the number of reticle divisions by the calibrationfactor. Report results to the nearest 0.0127 mm (0.5 mil).A1.6 Precision Measure
49、ments are accurate to 60.0127 mm(60.5 mil) when the thickness is about 0.5 mm (20mils).ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.
