1、Designation:D727 96(Reapproved 2006)Technical Association of Pulp and Paper IndustryStandard Method T 427 SU-71An American National StandardStandard Test Method forKerosine Number of Roofing and Flooring Felt by theVacuum Method1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D727;the number imm
2、ediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test
3、method covers the determination of the relativesaturating capacity of felt papers for roofing and flooring.1.2 The results are reported in terms of the kerosine numberof the sample.1.3 While the results reported are numerical,they are usedonly as a relative measure of the saturating capacity of felt
4、papers,and this test method as generally used provides aqualitative means to differentiate and rank various paperswhich are to be subjected to bituminous saturation.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the u

8、d.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 Test specimens cut in the form of rectangles of defineddimensions are dried in an air oven at 105C for a specifiedtime,cooled,and weighed.The test specimens are thenallowed to absorb kerosine under specified conditions of timeand pressure.After controlled draining of ex
9、cess kerosine,thetest specimens are reweighed and the kerosine number calcu-lated using a specified formula.5.Significance and Use5.1 Felt papers for roofing and flooring are important in theconstruction industry.Felt papers with different end use prop-erties can be made.The kerosine number is a rel
10、ative measureof the amount of a bituminous saturant a lot of saturating gradepaper is capable of absorbing,and is useful in choosing papersfor specific levels of saturation or manufacture into specific endproducts.Generally,higher relative kerosine numbers basedupon this test method are desirable.6.
