16、scribed in Table 1 when tested by the proce-dures specified herein. Table 1 lists those tests of specificgravity and tensile properties requiring a specimen molded asdescribed in Section 8.7. Sampling7.1 The materials shall be sampled in accordance with anadequate statistical sampling program.8. Spe
17、cimen Preparation8.1 Prepare a molded sheet 1.5 6 0.3 mm (0.06 6 0.01 in.)thick. Use a picture-frame-type chase having a suitableblanked-out section and thickness to produce the desired sheet.Use clean aluminum foil, 0.13 to 0.18 mm (0.005 to 0.007 in.)thick, in contact with the resin. Spraying a hi
18、gh-temperaturemold release agent on the aluminum foil will help prevent thefoil from sticking to the sheet. Use steel molding plates at least1.0 mm (0.040 in.) thick and have an area adequate to cover thechase.8.2 Lay down and smoothly cover one plate with a sheet ofaluminum foil. Place the mold cha
19、se on top of this assembly.Place within the mold chase sufficient molding material toproduce the required sheet in such manner that the polymercharge is a mound in the middle of the chase. Place a secondsheet of aluminum foil on top of the granules and add the topmold plate. Place the assembly in a
20、compression molding presshaving platens that have been heated to 320 6 5C (608 69F).8.3 Bring the press platens to incipient contact with themold assembly. Hold for 2 to 4 min without pressure. Applyapproximately 1 MPa (145 psi) and hold for 1 to 1.5 min. Thenapply 2 to 4 MPa (290 to 580 psi) and ho
21、ld for 1 to 1.5 min.Maintain the press at 320 6 5C (608 6 9F) during thesesteps. Remove the assembly from the press and place betweentwo 20 6 7-mm (0.75 6 0.25-in.) steel plates whose tempera-ture is less than 40C (104F).8.4 When the sheet is cool enough to touch about 50 to 60C(122 to 140F), remove
22、 aluminum foil from the sheet. (If thesheet is allowed to cool to room temperature, the aluminum foilcannot be pulled free.)9. Conditioning9.1 For tests of specific gravity and tensile properties,condition the molded test specimens in accordance withProcedure A of Practice D618 for a period of at le
23、ast 4 h priorto test. The other tests require no conditioning.9.2 Conduct tests at the standard laboratory temperature of23 6 2C (73.4 6 3.6F) for determination of specific gravityand tensile properties only. Since this resin does not absorbwater, the maintenance of constant humidity during testing
24、isnot necessary. Conduct tests for melt flow rate and meltingpoint under ordinary laboratory conditions.10. Packaging and Package Marking10.1 PackagingThe material shall be packaged in stan-dard commercial containers so constructed as to ensure accep-tance by common or other carriers for safe transp
25、ortation to thepoint of delivery unless otherwise specified in the contract ororder.10.2 MarkingShipping containers shall be marked withthe name of the material, type, grade, and quantity therein.10.3 All packing, packaging, and marking provisions ofPractice D3892 shall apply to this specification.1
26、1. Test Methods11.1 Melt Flow Rate:11.1.1 Principle of Test MethodThe melt flow rate shall bedetermined at 297 6 1C using Procedure A or B described inTest Method D1238. The extrusion plastometer to be used isdescribed in Test Method D1238 modified by use of corrosionresistant alloy for the barrel l
27、ining, orifice, piston tip, andorifice securing device. Use pellets or pieces of approximatelythe same size cut from molded or extruded forms. Strips about6mm(14 in.) by 76 mm (3 in.) long also load readily into thebarrel. Refer to Table 2 or Table 3 of Test Method D1238 forthe amount of charge whic
28、h shall be adjusted accordingly withmelt density of CPT being used. Usually the charge amount is5 to 15 g. Flow rate shall be measured using a load of 10,000g for Type I Grades 1 and 2, and 5000 g for Type I Grades 3and 4. Collect five successive cuts for the manual method.11.1.2 Precision and BiasP
29、recision and bias for this testmethod are to be determined by round-robin testing.11.2 Specific GravityDetermine the specific gravity of aspecimen approximately 25 by 38 mm (1 by 1.5 in.) blanked orcut from the molded plaque (see Section 8) in accordance withthe procedures described in Test Methods

32、ial scanning calorimetry (DSC) as described in TestMethod D3418 for this determination. For specificationpurposes, the test shall be run on a 10 6 2-mg specimen cutfrom a pellet of the resin as sold or received. The heating rateshall be run at 10 6 1C (18 6 1.8F)/min to 330C (626F).Two peaks during
33、the initial melting test are observed occa-sionally. In this case, the peak temperatures shall be reported asTlfor the lower temperature and Tufor the upper temperature.The peak temperature of the peak largest in height shall bereported as the melting point if a single value is required. If apeak te
34、mperature is difficult to discern from the curves, that is,if the peak is rounded rather than pointed, straight lines shall bedrawn tangent to the sides of the peak. The temperaturecorresponding to the point where these lines intersect beyondthe peak shall be taken as the peak temperature.11.4 Tensi
35、le Properties:11.4.1 Cut five specimens with the microtensile die shownin Fig. 1 of Test Method D1708. The die shall be of thesteel-rule or solid metal type of curvature of 5 6 0.5-mm (0.26 0.02-in.) type. Determine the tensile properties in accor-dance with the procedures described in Test Method D
36、638except that the specimens used shall be as detailed above, theinitial jaw separation shall be 22.2 6 0.13 mm (0.875 6 0.005in.), and the speed of testing shall be 50 6 5 mm/min (2 6 0.2in./min). Clamp the specimens with essentially equal lengths ineach jaw. Determine the elongation from the chart
37、, expressingit as a percentage of the initial jaw separation.12. Number of Tests12.1 One set of test specimens as prescribed in Section 11shall be considered sufficient for testing each sample. Theaverage result of the samples tested shall conform to therequirements of this specification.13. Certifi
