ASTM E595 Total Mass loss and Collected Volatile Condensable Materials

ASTM E595 is a standardized test method used to assess the total mass loss and collected volatile condensable materials in materials subjected to a vacuum environment. This test is commonly employed in industries such as aerospace and electronics to evaluate the outgassing characteristics of materials, ensuring compliance with stringent requirements for space applications and sensitive electronic components.

Introduction to ASTM E595

ASTM E595 offers a systematic approach to quantify the amount of outgassing exhibited by materials when exposed to a vacuum. This method evaluates the changes in the mass of a test specimen on exposure under vacuum to a temperature of 125 °C and the mass of those products that leave the specimen and condense on a collector at a temperature of 25 °C. Outgassing refers to the release of volatile substances from a material when subjected to low pressure and high-temperature conditions, which can be critical in applications where contamination or degradation of surrounding components must be minimized.

ASTM E595 helps identify materials with low outgassing properties, ensuring the selection of suitable materials for high-vacuum environments.

ASTM E595 Test Method

The ASTM E595 test method involves exposing a specimen to a vacuum environment at a specific temperature for a predetermined duration. The test is conducted in the following steps:

Specimen Setup	The specimen is placed in a vacuum chamber and subjected to a specific vacuum level and temperature for a specified duration.
Calculation	During the test, outgassed materials are collected on a suitable material positioned near the specimen. This collection material acts as a witness to quantify the volatile condensable materials. After the test duration, the collected materials and the specimen are weighed to determine the total mass loss and the mass of volatile condensable materials, respectively.

ASTM E595 Specimens

Specimen details	ASTM E595 specimens are flat sheets or disks with specific dimensions to ensure uniform exposure during testing.
Specimen dimensions	The specimen dimensions include diameters of 25.4 mm (1 inch) or 50.8 mm (2 inches) with a thickness of approximately 1 to 3 mm (0.04 to 0.12 inches).
Specimen preparation	Surface contaminants that might interfere with the outgassing results are removed, and the specimen is conditioned to stabilize its properties.

ASTM E595 Results

The test method ASTM E595 results are expressed as the percentage of total mass loss and the mass of volatile condensable materials relative to the initial specimen mass. Lower percentages indicate materials with lower outgassing characteristics, making them more suitable for high-vacuum applications.
