The ASTM D2863 test method is amethod for determining low concentrations of oxygen in an oxygen/nitrogen mixture that fuels the combustion of plastics in the sample. No correlation to actual end-use conditions.
Test procedure:
The sample is placed vertically in a glass chimney and an oxygen/nitrogen environment is established by the airflow at the bottom of the chimney. The top edge of the sample is ignited and the oxygen concentration in the stream is reduced until the flame is no longer supported.
Sample size:
Depending on the type of test material, the sample has 6 specifications. For injection molded samples, the recommended size is 80 to 150 mm long x 10 mm wide x 4 mm thick. Results of different materials should only be compared when testing on samples of similar size.
Data analysis:
The oxygen index, expressed as a percentage,is calculated based on the final tested oxygen concentration. The test results relate only to the behavior of the test sample under the conditions of this test method and should not be used to infer the
