3、itudinal wicking.There are generally threemechanisms that promote wicking,any or all of which may beoperating at a given time.NOTE1The specimens cross-section may reflect delaminations,longitudinal continuous voids,or the presence of hollow fibers,or allthree.Occasionally these flaws may be detected
4、 by this test,but other testsare usually required.1.2 The results of a wicking test are dependent on specimentype and size,penetrant type,time of exposure in the penetrant,penetrant viscosity,etc.Any attempt to use a wicking test toestablish specification criteria should be made with great care.1.3

9、od4.1 All-roving pultruded rod stock is tested by placing thespecimen(s)on end into the dye penetrant to a specified depthand observing the wicking action as spots,or dots,on theopposite,dry face.4.2 The wicking action through the length of the specimenis due to the capillary action of the penetrant
10、 through the openpathways in the composite.These pathways are typicallyoccupied by air and can be caused by continuous voids,cracks,or hollow fibers,or all three,in the reinforcement.5.Significance and Use5.1 This test method is useful for establishing the integrityof composite rod.The presence of v
11、oids,cracks,and hollowfibers are considered detrimental to the structural integrity ofthe composite and may cause reduced electrical resistance andincreased current leakage.5.2 A perfect composite would be flaw-free,and therewould be no possibility of wicking.Composites of this type arevirtually non
12、existent,as there will typically be entrapped air inthe resin developed during manufacture,occasional hollowfibers,and occasional cracks due to thermal stresses.5.3 This test method is intended to provide a tool formeasuring the extent of wicking in a composite over very shortlengths of material for
13、 comparative purposes.The presence ofwicking over 1 in.(2.54 cm)lengths may not necessarily implythat the composite will perform unsatisfactorily for its intendedend-use.Therefore,interpretation of test results should bemade with care.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D20
