Summary of Test Method3.1 A die
5、-cut specimen conditioned. Thickness, weight andarea are measured and the density is calculated and reported.4. Significance and Use4.1 Density is an important property of a gasket material,since it has an inverse relationship to the void volume of thematerial. Density is often used in a specificati
6、on, since rela-tionships to sealability, compressibility, creep relaxation, andtensile strength can be found for a given gasket grade.4.2 Density is a measurement of the mass to the volumeratio and therefore easily determined with a weight scale andthickness measuring device. This test method requir
7、es from 1h to two days of sample conditioning, which is necessary toachieve a high level of precision, but which detracts from itsusefulness as a production test method. Where it must bemodified for manufacturing control, it is recommended thatthickness and weight measurement methods be adhered tost

Apparatus6.1 ThicknessA thickness measurement device actuatedby a dead weight load as specified in Table 1.
9、 The presser footshall be 6.40 6 0.13 mm (0.252 6 0.005 in.) in diameter. Thedevice shall be capable of reading within 1 % of the thicknessbeing measured. The anvil shall have a diameter not less thanthat of the presser foot.6.2 WeightAn analytical balance accurate to 61%ofthespecimen weight.7. Spec
10、imen Conditioning7.1 Specimen shall be conditioned in accordance with theirclassification as specified in Classification System F 104 priorto testing.8. Test Specimen8.1 Three specimens are to be measured.8.2 Specimen size and shape is left to the discretion of thetester. In no case, however, should
11、 the area of the specimen beless than 25 cm2(4 in.2). The area of the specimen shall bemeasured accurate to 61 %. For this reason a die cut specimenis required.9. Procedure9.1 Remove the specimens one at a time from the condi-tioning chamber if not in a properly conditioned room, andweigh on the ana

17、inherent variability for this testmethod was determined by an interlaboratory test programusing five materials in 12 laboratories with five measurementsper material. The data were analyzed using Practice E 691 forstatistical inferences. Results are listed in Table 2.12.2 BiasSince there is no accept
