liquid. At room temperature, place it for 30 min. Then, apply a radial pressure of 528 N
to the silicore duct and maintain for 1 min. After unloading, immediately observe the
sample. If the sample has no damage, or, if the generated permanent deformation does
not exceed 5%, the sample is qualified.

B.5.1 Continuously and slowly rotate the sample. On a fixed circle in the middle of the
sample, use a Vernier caliper to perform a series of outer diameter measurements;
measure the maximum outer diameter and minimum outer diameter of the cross
section. In this way, measure five cross sections. The interval between each
measurement is about 50 mm. Calculate the arithmetic mean value of the maximum
outer diameter of the five measurement results to obtain the maximum average outer
diameter. Likewise, calculate the arithmetic mean value of the minimum outer diameter
of the five measurement results to obtain the minimum average outer diameter.
B.5.2 In accordance with Formula (B.1), calculate the average outer diameter:
Average outer diameter = (maximum average outer diameter + minimum
average outer diameter) / 2……… (B.1)
B.5.3 In accordance with Formula (B.2), calculate the out-of-roundness:
Out-of-roundness = 100  (maximum average outer diameter - minimum
average outer diameter) / average outer diameter……… (B.2)
