Test Parameters

Two different intergranular corrosion tests were performed on EN AW-6016 sheet material, an ISO 11846:1995-based test with varying solution amounts and acid concentrations, and a standard test of an automotive company (PV1113, VW-Audi). The average intergranular corrosion depth was determined via optical microscopy. The differences in the intergranular corrosion depths were then discussed with regard to the applicability and quality of the two different test methods. The influence of varying test parameters for ISO 11846:1995 was discussed as well. The determined IGC depths were found to be strongly dependent on the testing parameters, which will therefore have a pronounced influence on the determined IGC susceptibility of a material. In general, ISO 11846:1995 tests resulted in a significantly lower corrosion speed, and the corrosive attack was found to be primarily along grain boundaries.

To improve the comfort of agricultural workers, a T-shirt with a printed active cooling finish was evaluated to determine if it would meet the wash life durability and performance expectations of such an arduous application. Six shirts with a printed phase change material (PCM) finish and six shirts without (control) were washed 50 times to replicate a typical consumer wash life. Shirts were evaluated for absorbency, dimensional change, colorfastness, crocking, abrasion resistance, soil release, and smoothness retention according to AATCC and ASTM standard test methods. Testing was conducted before laundering and after 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 consumer laundry (CL) cycles. Absorbency and dimensional change were significantly influenced by the PCM finish. Results demonstrate the appropriateness of adopting such a finish technology for agricultural worker clothing applications.

Abstract It is shown that the two interactive strength parameters in the Tsai-Wu tensor polynomial strength criterion for fiber composites can be derived in terms of the uniaxial or non-interacting strength parameters if the composite does not fail under practical levels of hydrostatic pressure or equal transverse compression. Thus the required number of parameters is reduced from seven to five and all five of the remaining strength terms are easily determined using standard test methods. The derived interactive parameters fall within the stability limits of the theory, yet they lead to open failure surfaces in the compressive stress quadrant. The assumptions used to derive the interactive parameters were supported by measurements for the effect of hydrostatic pressure and unequal transverse compression on the behavior of a typical carbon fiber composite.

In this investigation , borax (B) (additive I) and chlorinated paraffin (CP.) (additive II) ,were used as flame retardants for each of epoxy and unsaturated polyester resins in the weight ratios of 2,4,6, & 8% by preparing films of (130×130×3) mm dimensions. Also films of these resins with a mixture of [50%(B.)+50%(CP.)] (additive III) in the same weight ratios were prepared in order to study the synergistic effect of these additives on the flammability of the two resins . Three standard test methods were used to measure the flame retardation which are : 1-ASTM : D-2863 2-ASTM : D-635 3-ASTM : D-3014 The results obtained from these tests indicated that the additives (B),(CP.) and their mixture , gave a good effect as flame retardants for each epoxy and unsaturated polyester resins , but their synergistic effect was more effective than each of them alone. Finally , the compatibility between the additives and resins (which showed a clear effect on retardation) was also studied .

Telah dilakukan analisis sifat fisis sinter silika dan tipe fluida pada mata air panas Sapan Maluluang Kecamatan Alam Pauh Duo, Solok Selatan. Sifat fisis yang diteliti dalam penelitian ini yaitu densitas dengan menggunakan hukum Archimedes, porositas dengan menggunakan standar ASTM D7263-09 (Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Determination of Density of Soil Specimens), dan resistivitas dengan metode Probe Dua Elektroda. Nilai densitas, porositas dan resistivitas sinter silika pada temperatur 31oC dalam pengukuran ini adalah 1,206 g/cm3, 15,8 %, dan 7,195 Ωm. Pengaruh temperatur terhadap sifat fisis sinter silika juga dianalisis dalam penelitian ini. Berdasarkan pengukuran, peningkatan temperatur dari 175 oC hingga 300 oC mengakibatkan nilai densitas turun dari 1,112 g/cm3 menjadi 0,983 g/cm3, sedangkan nilai porositas sinter silika naik dari 33,3 % menjadi 53,3 %. Nilai resistivitas sinter silika juga mengalami peningkatan dari 23,035 Ωm menjadi 57,201 Ωm. Terdapat hubungan nilai faktor resistivitas dengan porositas yaitu bertambahnya pori-pori sinter silika mengakibatkan nilai faktor resistivitas mengecil. Hubungan nilai faktor resistivitas dan porositas sinter silika menghasilkan nilai sementasi dan tortuositas sinter silika. Meningkatnya temperatur sinter silika dari 175 oC hingga 300 oC menyebabkan nilai tortuositas meningkat dari 6,92 menjadi 48,89 dan sementasi mengecil dari 1,67 menjadi 1,08. Penentuan tipe fluida mata air panas, menggunakan kandungan sulfat, klorida dan bikarbonat yang terdapat pada air panas. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengujian kandungan sulfat yaitu Spektrofotometri, sedangkan kandungan klorida dan bikarbonat diuji dengan metode Argentometri cara Mohr dan metode titrasi asam basa. Berdasarkan pengolahan data menggunakan diagram trilinier, mata air panas Sapan Maluluang termasuk kedalam tipe air panas klorida karena kandungan klorida merupakan kandungan yang paling dominan yaitu mencapai 97,560 mg/L, sedangkan kandungan sulfat dan bikarbonat mencapai 21,333 mg/L dan 23,730 mg/L. Kata kunci : densitas, porositas, resistivitas, sinter silika, tipe air panas
