As a conclusion to his preparative course the student should undertake several preparations, for which he has to look up the appropriate methods in scientific journals, instead of finding them worked out in minute detail in a manual of laboratory instruction. In so doing he will learn, with the aid of the directions given above, how to consult the literature, and how to make use of the chemical library most of all, however, these more difficult preparations will serve to test his capacity for laboratory work. When synthesising a compound in several stages it is absolutely essential to test and consolidate each separate stage by means of test-tube experiments before the whole of the substance is risked. Whoever fails to observe this rule will pay dearly for his neglect by loss of material and time. 

Even below the temperature at which thermal breakdown becomes significant, there may be large variations in friction and wear with temperature. The nature and extent of the variations are generally inconsistent and unpredictable, depending on the type of binder, concentration of lubricant, other components present in the coating, completeness of film curing, degree of consolidation and the test method used. 

A further 20 monomer test methods were developed in the EU funded BCR Project. The number of monomer test methods published in the report was 35. This was reduced to 20 for the new work items by removing a method for BADGE (bisphenol A diglycidyl ether). This was covered separately by Task/Working Group 8. The number was also reduced by consolidating similar methods. The substances covered by the 20 methods are given below.

Different mandrel rotational speeds, consolidation pressures, and preheating and consolidation temperatures were used to manufacture pipes from towpregs and to verify the influence of these processing parameters on the mechanical properties. The circumferential tensile strength of the pipes was tested in an Instron 4505 machine using the split disk test method according to ASTM 2290 at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. 

The undrained shear strength of a clay not only depends on the consolidation stress of the sample, but may also depend on the testing method and the stress history of the material as illustrated in Figure 8.12. The factor a found from cja is not a unique value. Theoretically an a-value must be defined/ selected depending on the loading condition as illustrated in the figure. This is not, however, always possible and often an average a-value is used. 

Sometimes, an instantaneous settlement is measured during a consolidation test on saturated samples. This can be attributed to imperfections in the testing method, such as the presence of air bubbles. 

CU (consolidation undrained test) method used to determine the drained and undrained shear strength parameters. The excess pore water pressure should be measmed to determine the drained characteristics. 

Moreover, the quaUty of materials and intervention works is of primary importance for the longevity and economy of interventions. However, the system of regulations, recommendations, proper test methods, and specific standards has not been fuUy developed, in spite of continuous efforts of the last decade on national and European level. There is still a gap between knowledge and practice, but undoubtedly the continuous education and joint research efforts, as well as the awareness of the society about safeguarding cultural patrimony, have resulted in significant improvement of consolidation and strengthening works. 

The procedures used in these methods were originally developed and reported in 1969 [12]. They were developed using the Consolidated Electrodynamics Coip. Type 103 series (Model 21-100 and later the DuPont 21-103 and 21-104 instruments). These instruments are no longer in production. While newer instruments are reported to give satisfactory results, the procedures for their use have not been standardized. Efforts are now in progress to provide test methods using newer, lower-cost instruments. The use of quadrupole instruments and a combination of mass spectroscopy with gas or liquid chromatography should produce useful new procedures. 

Note 1—This test method was developed on consolidated Electrodynamics Corp. Type 103 Mass Spectrometers. 

Note 2—This test method was developed on Consolidated Electrodynamics Corporation Type 103 Mass Spectrometers. Users of other instruments may have to modify operating parameters and the calibration procedure. 

This indication was also confirmed by the followed tests for consolidation method, finishing method and curing method examination.
