This document specifies a gravimetric method for the determination of the loss on ignition (LOI) in solid rare earth oxides, carbonates and oxalates. This document is applicable to the determination of the LOI in the range from 0,10 % to 15,00 % in rare earth oxides, from 25,00 % to 80,00 % in rare earth carbonates, and from 35,00 % to 75,00 % in rare earth oxalates.

 

The method is applicable to carbon contents between 0,003% (m/m) and 4,5 % (m/m). Specifies principle, reagents, apparatus, sampling, procedure, expression of results and test report. The annexes give additional information on the international co-operative tests, a graphical representation of precision data and features of induction furnaces and carbon analysers.

 

This document specifies the conditions for the determination of uniaxial tensile properties of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) tubes with continuous fibre-reinforcement at elevated temperature in air, vacuum or inert gas atmospheres. This document is specific to the tubular geometries because fibre architecture and specimen geometry factors in composite tubes are distinctly different from those in flat specimens. This document provides information on the axial tensile properties and stress-strain response in temperature, such as axial tensile strength, axial tensile strain at failure and elastic constants. The information can be used for material development, control of manufacturing (quality insurance), material comparison, characterization, reliability and design data generation for tubular components. This document addresses, but is not restricted to, various suggested test piece fabrication methods. It applies primarily to all ceramic matrix composite tubes with a continuous fibrous-reinforcement: unidirectional (1D, filament winding and tape lay-up), bidirectional (2D braid and weave) and multi-directional (xD, with x > 2), tested along the tube axis.

 

This document specifies requirements and test methods of valve-actuator assemblies in individual zone control of water-based HVAC applications. Control valves of nominal diameter larger than DN50 are currently not covered by this document. Within the scope are pressure independent and pressure dependent control valve-actuator assemblies of relevant categories: 2-port, 3-port and 6-port valves (if they incorporate a control valve function). Where a certain control loop as a combination of controller and valve-actuator assembly was assessed under EN 15500-1:2017, this European Standard allows the assessment of the performance of combinations of that controller with different valve-actuator assemblies. The tests in this document ensure that valve/actuator assemblies, as components of control loops, can be replaced with products that provide comparable or better performance. In hydronic system, valve-actuator assembly is a component of control loop that controls water flow rate according to the application control demand. The common Formula (1) describing the flow rate where whole hydronic system itself has an influence on actual flow rate as differential pressure across control valve-actuator assembly typically varies during operation. Q=k_v . v((?p_v)/(?p_1 bar )) where Q [m3/h] water flow kv [m3/h] flow coefficient of the valve ?pv [bar] differential pressure across the valve ?p1bar [bar] 1 bar differential pressure
