Determining whether reworked magnesium oxide meets standards requires triple verification of chemical composition, physical structure, and electrical properties. The core approach is to base it on the HG/T 3928-2012 standard, combined with third-party CNAS testing and on-site testing for a comprehensive assessment.

 

1. Chemical Composition Testing (Authoritative Judgment Basis) Samples must be sent to a CNAS-certified institution for chemical analysis. The testing items and qualification standards are as follows:

Testing Item Qualification Standard Testing Method

MgO Content ≥ 95% Acid-Base Titration

Active Magnesium Oxide ≥ 60% Hydration Method

Hydrochloric Acid Insoluble Matter ≤ 0.5% Filtration and Weighing Method

Cl⁻ ≤ 0.02% Silver Nitrate Titration Method

SO₄²⁻ ≤ 0.1% Barium Sulfate Turbidity Method

Loss on Ignition ≤ 5% 950℃ Constant Weight Method

Recommended Institutions: Zhongxi Testing, Wuhan Kehai Inspection Co., Ltd. Reports must bear the CMA/CNAS mark and have legal validity.

 

2. Physical and Structural Verification (Critical to Process Control)

Item Acceptance Criteria Verification Method

Filling Density 2.8–3.2 g/cm³ Actual measurement after vibration and compaction

Grain Recrystallization Grain growth, clear boundaries, dense structure Metallographic Analysis (Gold Standard)

Internal Structural Integrity No voids, off-center cores, or uneven density X-ray inspection (resolution ≥5μm)

Metallographic analysis is the core method for determining whether sintering is truly achieved, directly reflecting the internal state of the material.

 

3. Electrical and Sealing Performance Testing (Operational Reliability Assurance)

Test Item

Acceptance Standard

Test Condition

Cold Insulation Resistance

≥ 500 MΩ

500V DC, RH≤30%

Hot Insulation Resistance

≥ 200 MΩ

Measured within 2 seconds of power failure after 30 minutes of operation

Withstand Voltage Performance

AC 2000V, no breakdown after 1 minute

Normal environment

Air Tightness

No leakage after 30 minutes of 0.3MPa pressure testing

Underwater pressure test

Hot testing is crucial, as it can identify hidden defects such as "passing cold but failing hot."

Comprehensive Judgment Process

First, perform X-ray and density screening → exclude structural anomalies;

Then, perform metallographic analysis → confirm grain recrystallization;

Finally, send for chemical composition testing + complete electrical testing → form a closed-loop verification.

It is recommended to sample at least 3 pieces from each batch, establish a unique coded file, and achieve full lifecycle traceability.
