1. Test facilities and auxiliary devices:
a) Temperature chamber (drying cabinet), providing temperature maintenance up to 200 ° C;
b) thermometer for measuring air temperature up to 200 °C with a division price of 1 °C;
c) metal ruler according to GOST 427;
d) stopwatch;
f) glass plate;
i) talc.
2. The test is carried out on three samples with a length of (220 ± 5) mm.
3. Before testing, the temperature chamber is heated to (150 ± 3) ° C.
4. Test procedure:
The sample is placed horizontally on a glass plate, previously sprinkled with talc, and placed in a chamber in which it is kept for (30 ± 1) minutes. Then the sample is removed, cooled in air to room temperature and examined.
5. Processing the results:
