Humidity aging

This Navy specification covers a single class of foam, nominal density 2.0 Ib/ft rigid unicellular polyurethane foam, and the materials required for preparation by the foam-in-place technique. Requirements cover density, compressive strength, volume change after heat aging, humidity aging, compressive set, unicellularity (% open cells, max.), oil resistance, and fire resistance. 

The factors that govern the behavior of sealants are stress, strain, temperature, rate of deformation, humidity, air, light, type and condition of substrate, and presence of water or chemicals. Of these, stress, strain, deformation rate, and temperature are of primary importance. They have to be known simultaneously in describing a material at any given age, humidity, substrate condition, etc. Consequently, these four factors must be included in any test method devised to measure mechanical properties, while the other variables must be kept constant at values considered to be realistic.

Poly(vinyl cinnamate) Resists. Dichromated resists exhibit numerous shortcomings which include lot-to-lot variabiUty of the components, aging of the formulated resists in solution and in coated form, poor process stabiUty (due to a sensitivity to variations in temperature and humidity), and intrinsically low photosensitivity requiring long exposure times for adequate insolubilization. 

Diphosphates. Three 2-chloroethyl diphosphates have been sold commercially. These have low volatihty and good-to-fair thermal stabiUty, and are thus useful ia those open cell (flexible) foams which have requirements for improved resistance to dry and humid aging. 

The product contains 12.6% phosphoms and has an OH number in the 450 mg KOH/g range. Fyrol 6 is used to impart a permanent Class 11 E-84 flame spread rating to rigid foam for insulating walls and roofs. Particular advantages are low viscosity, stabiHty in polyol—catalyst mixtures, and outstanding humid aging resistance. Fyrol 6 is used in both spray foam, froth, pour-in-place, and slab stock. 

The losses that are eneountered in a plant ean be divided into two groups, uneontrollable losses, and eontrollable losses. The uneontrollable losses are usually environmental eonditions, sueh as temperature, pressure, humidity, and turbine aging. The eontrollable losses are those that the operator ean have some degree of eontrol over and ean take eorreetive aetions ... 

The losses that are encountered in a plant can be divided into two groups, uncontrollable losses, and controllable losses. The uncontrollable losses are usually environmental conditions, such as temperature, pressure, humidity, and the turbine aging. Table 20-3 shows the approximate changes that would occur for these changes. It must be remembered that these are just approximations and will vary for individual power plants. 

Changes observed in the composition of the rubber/brass interphase correlated well with results of adhesion tests carried out on brass-plated steel wires embedded in blocks of rubber [46]. The force required to pull the wires out of the blocks decreased steadily as vulcanization temperature increased. This effect was especially pronounced when the specimens were aged at elevated temperature and humidity for several days before the wires were pulled out of the rubber blocks.
