Designation:D628/D628M95(Reapproved 2009)1Standard Specification forAsbestos Tubular Sleeving1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D628/D628M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEUnits information was corrected editorially in March 2010.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers woven and braided asbestostubular sleeving having a minimum of 75 mass%of asbestosfiber,excluding the mass of other inorganic strands which maybe present.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 WarningBreathing of asbestos dust is hazardous.Asbestos and asbestos products present demonstrated healthrisks for users and for those with whom they come into contact.In addition to other precautions,when working with asbestos-cement products,minimize the dust that results.For informa-tion on the safe use of chrysoltile asbestos,refer to“Safe Useof Chrysotile Asbestos:A Manual on Preventive and ControlMeasures.”21.4 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest methods,Section 13,described in this specification.Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.For specific safety hazard,see 1.3.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3D76 Specification for Tensile Testing Machines for TextilesD123 Terminology Relating to TextilesD299 Specification for Asbestos YarnsD1118 Test Method for Magnetic Rating of Asbestos Fiberand Asbestos TextilesD1682 Test Method for Breaking Load and Elongation ofTextile Fabric(Withdrawn 1992)4D1777 Test Method for Thickness of Textile MaterialsD1910 Methods of Test for Construction Characteristics ofWoven Fabrics;Replaced by D 3773,D 3774,D 3775,D 3776,D 3882,D 3883(Withdrawn 1981)4D1918 Test Method for Asbestos Content of Asbestos Tex-tilesD2100 Specification for Asbestos Textiles Used for Electri-cal Insulating PurposesD2946 Terminology for Asbestos and AsbestosCementProductsE177 Practice for Use of the Terms Precision and Bias inASTM Test Methods3.Terminology3.1 For definitions of other textile terms used in thisspecification,refer to Terminology D123.For asbestos terms,refer to Terminology D2946.3.2 Definitions:3.2.1 asbestos fiber,nthe hydrous magnesium silicateserpentine mineral designated as chrysotile and having anempirical formula Mg3Si2O5(OH)4.3.2.2 atmosphere for testing,n for asbestos textiles,airmaintained at a relative humidity of 50 6 2%at 21 6 1C.3.2.3 sleeving,nin textiles,woven or braided fabric oftubular form.4.Classification4.1 ClassesThe classes of asbestos tubular sleeving arebased on the nature of the yarns from which they are braidedor woven.4.1.1 Class ATubular sleeving constructed of asbestosyarns containing no reinforcing strands.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C17 onFiber-Reinforced Cement Productsand is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeC17.03 on Asbestos-Cement Sheet Products and Accessories.Current edition approved Nov.1,2009.Published March 2010.Originallyapproved in 1941.Last previous edition approved in 2004 as D628 95(2004)1.DOI:10.1520/D0628_D0628M-95R09E01.2Available from The Asbestos Institute,Online,http:/ referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.4The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 4.1.2 Class BTubular sleeving constructed of asbestosyarns containing wire reinforcement.4.1.3 Class CTubular sleeving constructed of asbestosyarns containing organic reinforcing strands.4.1.4 Class DTubular sleeving constructed of asbestosyarns containing nonmetallic inorganic reinforcing strands.4.1.5 Class ETubular sleeving constructed of two or moreof the yarns used in sleeving of Classes A through D.4.2 GradesThe grades of asbestos tubular sleeving arebased on the mass%of asbestos content as stated in Table 1.4.3 Electrical Insulation Classification:4.3.1 Asbestos tubing as made for the electrical industry isfurnished in three types,classified on the basis of magneticrating determined by Test Method D1118,which serve toidentify performance lim
