Random point: freezing begins Air Voids Pressure Ice Expands Water and Ice move in direction of least resistance Pressure Pressure The longer the flow path, The higher the pressure The Longer the line, the higher the pressure for a given pumping rate. Pressure Pressure kch7@cornell.edu 1

12 Does a Large Air Void protect more paste than a Small Air Void? YES! Protected Paste: Asset This is why we want the air voids! Air Void Volume: Liability Costs 2-25 psi Per percent Air Volume And leads to other problems like delayed bleeding and blisters Does a Small Air Void protect more paste PER PERCENT Air Volume than a Large Air Void? Does a Large Air Void protect more paste than a Small Air Void? Does a Small Air Void protect more paste PER PERCENT Air Volume than a Large Air Void? Does a Large Air Void protect more paste than a Small Air Void? YES! YES! Absolutely! Absolutely! The smaller the air void, the higher the ratio of Asset/Liability! The smaller the air void, the higher the ratio of Protected Paste Volume/Air Content Wanted: Large number of small voids Well distributed in paste Prefer bubbles around 5 mils < About 1 mils to nearest bubble Air vol about 18% of paste vol kch7@cornell.edu 12
