F03.50 - Analytical Test Methods

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 The quantity of volatile components in FIPG silicone adhesive and sealant by-products can be established by this test method. This test method does not identify the components.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the quantitative determination of the volatile matter evolved during the curing process of silicone adhesives and sealants for transportation applications.  
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are for information only.  
1.3 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 Use of this practice in conjunction with realistic maximum volatility tolerance level can help minimize the risk of oxygen sensor dysfunction from formed-in-place-sealants in transportation applications. This practice provides a method for determination of percentage volatiles in silicone elastomers. The volatile silicones from a commercial silicone are primarily cyclo dimethyl-siloxane. Other species present having GC retention times similar to those of the cyclics are assumed to be silicone as well.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers a means to determine the percent silicone-producing volatiles present in heat-cured silicone rubber and room temperature-cured silicones (RTV).  
1.2 Silicone-producing volatiles contribute to fouling of oxygen sensor systems used in the control of vehicle emissions.  
1.3 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Chloride ion is highly detrimental to the valves, flanges, piping, etc. of stainless steel and copper-bearing alloys employed in certain types of facilities, such as nuclear and chemical plants. Therefore, the amount of chloride ion that can be leached from packing and gasketing materials used in these facilities must be controlled closely for prevention of damage. This test method is suitable for manufacturing control and for verifying that the packing and gasketing material meets specifications.
It is assumed that the users of this test method will be analysts capable of performing common laboratory procedures skillfully and safely. It is recommended that the work will be performed in a properly equipped laboratory under appropriate quality control practices such as those described in Guide E 882.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method provides for the measurement of chloride ion leached from flexible graphite, asbestos, or paper-based packing and gasketing materials. Samples containing 7 to 6700 g Cl-/g sample can be analyzed with this procedure. The upper concentration limit can be extended by dilution of the test solution.
1.2 It is the responsibility of the analyst to ensure the validity of this test method for other packing or gasketing materials.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.4 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. A specific warning statement is given in 8.3.
