29、material stored at ambient temperature For material stored at ambient temperature, the amount of material required for testing shall be sampled and conditioned in the test atmosphere (see6.2.1) for a minimum of2h, unless otherwise specified. 6.1.2 Conditioning of material stored below ambient temper
30、ature For material stored at temperatures lower than ambient temperature, the material, suitably packed in an airtight and solvent resistant bag to prevent moisture pick-up, shall be allowed to reach ambient temperature over a period of time according to the mass of the package. This time shall not
31、be less than8h and the actual time shall be recorded in the report. When the material has reached ambient temperature, the amount required for testing shall be sampled and conditioned in the test atmosphere (see6.2.1), for a minimum of2h, unless otherwise specified. 6.2 Testing 6.2.1 Atmosphere for
32、testing The tests shall be carried out at temperature and relative humidity conditions in accordance with EN2743B. 6.2.2 Time interval between conditioning and testing Unless otherwise specified, the test shall be carried out within6h, after conditioning, the specimen being kept in the test atmosphe

The dimension of the sides shall be (100 1) mm. Other dimensions of the specimen may be use
34、d, subject to agreement between the purchaser and supplier, but shall have a surface area of100cm 2with a tolerance of 2%. 7.2 Number and distribution of specimens At least three specimens shall be used. These shall be evenly distributed and cut from the sample diagonally across the width or length,
35、 as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 for woven fabrics and in Figure 3 for unidirectional sheet or tape. 8 Procedure Cut the specimens from a representative sample of the material under test, using the appropriate template. Remove the separating film(s) and weigh each specimen to the nearest mg (m 1 )
36、, if necessary with a tray previously weighed to constant mass to the nearest mg (m 3 ). Transfer the specimens (with tray, if used) to an oven maintained at the specified temperature (seenote). Take care that the specimens are well ventilated by the hot air in the oven. After the agreed time (see n
37、ote), remove the specimens (and tray, if used) from the oven, cool down to ambient temperature in a desiccator and weigh to the nearest mg (m 2 ). NOTEOven temperature and time are those specified in the relevant material standard. 9 Calculation and expression of results The percentage of volatile m
38、atter in each specimen is calculated from the formula: or: where: Calculate the arithmetic mean of the values obtained for V. 10 Test report The test report shall include the following information: 10.1 Reference to the type of preimpregnate, with complete description, including prepreg batch number
