ASTM C978 Photoelastic Determination of Residual Stress in a Glass Matrix
ASTM C978 determines residual stress in a transparent glass matrix using a polarizing microscope and optical retardation compensation procedures. ASTM C978 checks the nature and extent of residual stresses in glass matrixes caused by a cord, the degree of fit, or the acceptability of a glass matrix.
Scope:
Using a polarizing microscope and optical retardation compensation techniques, ASTM C978 test calculates residual stress in a transparent glass matrix. The magnitudes and local distributions of residual stress systems in glass substrates can be determined using this test method. It’s also used to see how compatible the coefficient of thermal expansion of enamel or applied color label (ACL) applied to a glass substrate is with the coefficient of thermal expansion of the glass substrate. The ASTM C978 test approach is quantitatively acceptable and effective when no substantial ion exchange and optical stress coefficients are known.
Test Procedure:
The ASTM C978 test method utilizes photoelastic retardation compensation procedures to determine residual stresses in clear glass matrices quantitatively. To produce a retardation null or extinction in the test specimen, compensators such as rotating compensators (covering a range of one order of retardation), birefringent quartz wedge compensators (covering a range of four to six orders of retardation), or tilting optical retardation compensators (covering a range of five orders of retardation) are used.
Specimen Size :
Ring section, bar section, or any other correctly shaped section of the test specimens with suitable annealing are used in ASTM C978 testing.
The length of the optical path in the segment of the test specimen shall not be less than 2.0 mm and not more than 30.0 mm.
Data:
For ASTM C978, the optical retardation value, R, is calculated as :
R = (L × a) /180°
where, L = wavelength a = angle of rotation
Conclusion:
ASTM C978 determines residual stress in a transparent glass matrix using a polarizing microscope and optical retardation compensation procedures.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
