16、lRepresentative rod stock with out-of-round notexceeding 1 % shall be selected, preferably with a diameter inthe range 0.5 to 4 mm. Smaller diameters result in a loss ofsensitivity and larger diameters tend to be cumbersome andimpractical. Surfaces shall be relatively free of scratches,machine marks
17、, pits, or inclusions that would induce localizedstresses. Length requirements are discussed in 6.2.6.2 GlassRepresentative glass tubing of suitable opticaltransmission with an inside diameter 0.15 to 0.25 mm largerthan the metal rod diameter. The outside diameter of the tubingshall preferably be su
18、ch that it produces a glass-to-metaldiameter ratio between 1.5 and 2. The length of the tubing shallexceed four times the finished glass diameter. The length of themetal rod must exceed the length of the tubing. Surfacecontaminants shall be removed to reduce the risk of makingbubbly seals. An ultras
19、onic water mark is recommended.7. Seal-Making Procedure7.1 The seal may be made either by flame-working tech-niques or by heating the tubing-rod assembly in a furnace. Ineither case, rotation of the assembly is strongly recommendedto maintain geometrical symmetry. For furnace sealing, 5 to 10min at
20、a temperature 100C above the softening point of theglass will generally produce a satisfactory seal.7.2 When used as an acceptance test by producer and user,the number of test seals representing one determination shall beestablished by mutual agreement. However two seals are aminimum requirement for
21、 one determination.7.3 Upon completion of the seal making, determine the roddiameter, glass bead diameter and length, and record thesedata.8. Annealing8.1 Once a symmetrical, bubble-free seal has been made,proper annealing of the seal becomes the most critical part ofthe procedure. It is by this ope
22、ration that all stresses arerelieved except those due to the difference in thermal contrac-tion of the two materials from annealing temperature levels.This process involves heating the seal to a temperaturesomewhat higher than the annealing point of the glass andmaintaining this temperature for a ti
23、me sufficient to relieve theexisting strain. The test specimen is then cooled slowlypreferably at a constant rate to below the strain point of theglass. As an alternative, annealing can proceed directly oncooling during the making of a seal.8.2 Seal stress and associated expansion mismatch can bevar
24、ied markedly by annealing schedule modification. For thisreason, when the test is used as an acceptance specification, itis strongly recommended that producer and user mutuallydefine the annealing schedule and establish rigid controls for itsmaintenance.9. Procedure for Measuring Optical Retardation
25、9.1 For each specimen measure the retardation in theannealed seal at the glass-metal interface parallel to the sealaxis in accordance with Method F218.9.1.1 Place the seal in an index-matching liquid and positionits axis in a direction 45 from the direction of vibration of thepolarizer and analyzer,
26、 so that the line of sight is at themidpoint of the glass bead.9.1.2 Determine the retardation along the light path throughthe glass in terms of degrees of rotation of the analyzer. Rotatein a direction that causes the black fringe seen within the glassto move toward the glass-metal interface. Stop
27、rotation of theanalyzer when the center of the black fringe is coincident withthe glass-metal interface. This condition is termed the point ofextinction.NOTE 1Sealing combinations may exist in which the thermal expan-sion coefficients of glass and metal at room temperature may differsignificantly. I
28、n these cases it may be important to record the temperatureof the refraction liquid (or the seal) at the time the retardation is measured.9.1.3 Repeat the above for a total of four measurements perseal equally spaced around the interface. Calculate averagerotation, A.9.1.4 Record the optical retarda
29、tions in degrees, the index ofrefraction of the liquid, and the effective wavelength of thelight used in the polarimeter.10.
