ASTM F148-13

Standard Test Method for Binder Durability of Cork Composition Gasket Materials

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 This test method is designed to measure the chemical cure of the binder used in the manufacture of cork compositions. The results of this test method can be used only as a guide for its intended service in elevated temperature and environmental conditions.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers three procedures for determination of the binder durability of cork-containing materials.  
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

8. Test Specimens
8.1 Test specimens shall be circular disks approximately 28 mm (1.1 in.) in diameter.
8.2 Test specimen thickness shall be as agreed upon between the producer and the user. A nominal thickness of 3.175 mm (0.125
in.) is commonly used.

and 50 to 55 % relative humidity.
10. Procedures
10.1 Procedure A, Water-Flotation Test—Place 75 mL of distilled water in the Erlenmeyer flask and bring the fluid to a rolling
boil. Then insert three test specimens in the flask atop the fluid and test for a period of 3 h. At the conclusion of the test, examine
the specimens for any signs of disintegration.
10.2 Procedure B, Acid-Flotation Test—Using an Erlenmeyer flask with a reflux condenser on top, place 75 mL of hydrochloric
acid solution (35 % by weight concentration) in the Erlenmeyer flask and bring the solution to a rolling boil. Then insert three test
specimens in the flask atop the solution and test for a period of 0.5 h. At the conclusion of the test, examine the specimens for any
signs of disintegration.
