Transverse Strength (ANSI/NEMA CB1) is a materials ability to withstand a transverse or flexural load. Values are obtained by loading to failure a rectangular beam suspended on two knife edges. Tensile Strength (ASTM C 749) is a materials ability to resist being pulled apart. Values are obtained from the uniaxial force at rupture per unit of cross section. Modulus of Elasticity (ASTM C 747) is a constant which expresses the ratio of stress per unit area to corresponding strain per unit length, the distortion or strain being within the elastic limit. Specimens are vibrated in the transverse mode, and values are calculated from the resonance frequency. Temperature Limit is the highest temperature that a material can tolerate without significant thermal decomposition or loss in strength; this varies with the amount of oxygen present. Metcar demonstrates an unusual ability to increase in strength with increase in temperature. Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (ASTM E 228) is the change in unit length per change in degree of temperature. Linear expansion is measured using a vitreous silica dilatometer which indicates dimensional changes of a specimen when subjected to heat. Metcars CTE increases as temperature increases; values listed represent an average from 50C to the respective temperature limit. Thermal Conductivity is a materials ability to transmit heat. Values are obtained from the cooling characteristics of a heated probe brought into contact with a specimen. Pressure Tight (a function of permeability) is a specification indicating the suitability of a given grade for use in seal ring applications. The internal cavity of a standard ring is pressurized with air. Its outside diameter is coated with a leak detecting fluid. An absence of bubbles (after 2 minutes at 100psi) defines acceptability.
