Prepared specimens must show no evidence of f
8、iber tear or loose fiber strands protruding from the specimens. In each of the following tests (para 3.4.10, 3.4.11, 3.4.12 and 3.4.13) a minimum of 6 specimens are to be evaluated. Three of the specimens are to be oriented in any one direction with the other three perpendicular to the first set. Th

12、e min Test Method: Weigh each of three 645 mm2test specimens randomly selected from different locations (at least 150 mm apart) on the test plaque or part. Place the specimens in tared crucibles and ignite in a muffle furnace maintained at 425 +/- 5 C for 30 min. Increase temperature to 650 +/- 28 C
13、 for 60 min. Cool slowly to 23 +/- 2 C and weigh the residues. Boil the glass fibers and filler residue in a 5% by volume hydrochloric acid solution for 15 min. If the hydrochloric acid solution does not completely dissolve the filler residue, alternate reagents should be used until all fillers are
14、removed. Rinse the glass fibers several times with distilled water before drying in an oven for 2 h at 120 +/- 2 C. After cooling, weigh the crucibles and calculate the percent fiberglass as follows: Wt. % Glass Fbr. = wt. of washed glass fibers residue x 100 original wt. of specimen Note: Those sup
15、pliers who determine percent glass fiber content by volume must convert this value to percent by weight.
