25、along the trough4 PrincipleThe test sample is loaded into a trough and the sample is ignited at one end by means of a hot wire. The time offlame propagation through the sample along the trough is measured and the burning rate is calculated.5 Apparatus5.1 Trough, (see Figure 1), consisting of a half
26、cylinder (2 000 1) mm long with a diameter of (20,0 0,8) mm,hollowed out from a stainless steel block. The block is marked at 2 positions, A and B, at distances of (400 1) mmand (1 900 1) mm from the end where the ignition is to take place, respectively. A 2 mm thick stainless steel plateis welded t
27、o each end of the trough to close off the ends.The trough shall be horizontal when set on its support.5.2 Hot wire, as ignition device, consisting of a Ni/Cr wire, diameter (0,40 0,05) mm, length (15 1) mm,heated by a current of 4 A.5.3 Timing device, consisting of a manual stopwatch with a scale di
28、vision of 0,1 s or a recording chronographactivated by suitable detectors located at marks A and B. Black powder shall be tested using a recordingchronograph.EN 13938-4:2003 (E)5Dimensions in millimetresKey1 Hot wire2 Engraved marksA First markB Second markTolerance for all dimensions is 1 mm, excep

30、from the test sample.Conduct the test under ambient conditions of temperature and humidity.Ensure that the trough is dry and clean and condition it at (20 10) C.Pour the test sample into the trough so as to fill it flush with the top edge, without packing down the test sample.Level the surface by mo
31、ving a blade across it and record the mass of the test portion.The time between filling the trough and ignition shall not exceed 15 min.Connect the hot wire to the electrical circuit.Maintain the current until the sample ignites (maximum time 60 s).EN 13938-4:2003 (E)6Record the following: tbtime of
32、 flame propagation from mark A (400 mm) to mark B (1900 mm); tf time from mark A to extinction, in case of partial propagation of the sample; df distance travelled by the flame in case of partial propagation of the sample.NOTE This distance should be determined after disconnection of the hot wire an
33、d the cooling of the trough.8 Expression of resultsThe burning rate of the sample under test shall be determined by means of the following equation:WhereV is the burning rate, expressed in millimetres per second (mm/s);1 500 is the distance between the marks expressed millimetres (mm); andtbis the t
34、ime of propagation between the marks, expressed in seconds(s)9 Test reportThe test report shall conform to EN ISO/IEC 17025. In addition the following information shall be given:a) a reference to this standard;b) the complete identification of the sample, including its mass and grain size distributi
