Both plates are fixed with respect to rotation. The sample has a longitudinal length of three periods and a chord (circumferenti

10、al) length of 1.5 times the profile height. Load, displacement (of the load plates), and time data are obtained. The test ends when the ultimate load is exceeded and the level of load begins to decrease. The ultimate load, crosshead displacement at ultimate load, and test time at ultimate load are r

11、ecorded. 5. SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 5.1. The maximum load achieved in this test may be used for the following: 5.1.1. To evaluate compression load capacity of profile wall thermoplastic pipe. 5.1.2. To evaluate the manufactured consistency of pipe wall cross-section thickness distribution. 6. APPARATUS

12、 6.1. Testing MachineA properly calibrated compression testing machine of the constant-rate-of-crosshead-movement type meeting the requirements of ASTM D695 shall be used to conduct the test. The rate of head approach shall be 0.05 0.01 in./min (1.27 0.25 mm/min). The testing machine shall be capabl

13、e of compressing the sample to its capacity. The testing machine shall monitor the applied load to accuracy of 25 lb (110 N). 6.2. Loading PlatesThe load shall be applied to the specimen through two parallel steel bearing plates. The plates shall be flat, smooth, and clean. The thickness of the plat

14、es shall be sufficient so that no bending or deformation occurs during the test, but shall not be less than 0.25 in. (6.0 mm). The plate length shall equal or exceed the specimen longitudinal length, and the plate width shall not be less than the profile height plus 6.0 in. (150 mm). 2015 by the Ame

Deflection IndicatorThe crosshead displacement shall be measured with a suitable instrument meeting the requirements of ASTM D695, except that t

16、he instrument shall be accurate to 0.001 in. (0.025 mm). Note 1Monitoring crosshead motion of the test machine is an acceptable method of recording deflection; however, the test machine flexibility may result in apparent deflection in addition to the specimen deflection. This must be accounted for i

17、f the deflection data are used to evaluate strain at maximum load. 7. SAMPLING, TEST SPECIMENS, AND TEST UNITS 7.1. The test specimen shall be a wall section cut from a finished pipe product. 7.2. The specimen longitudinal length shall be three periods. 7.3. The specimen chord (circumferential) leng

18、th shall be 1.5 times the profile height with tolerance of 1/4in. 7.4. Specimen ends shall be cut flat and parallel to each other and to the radial line through the center of the sample. The cut ends are not radial. Note 2The most important aspect of specimen preparation is cutting the ends to plana

19、r parallel surfaces. This is complicated by the thin flexible elements of many profile wall pipes. Guidance for specimen preparation is provided in Annex A. 8. CONDITIONING 8.1. Condition pipe for at least 4 h in air, at a temperature of 73.4 3.6F (23 2C), and conduct the test in a room maintained a

20、t the same temperature. 9. PROCEDURE 9.1. Record the pipe nominal diameter, pipe model/classification, profile type, manufacturer, conditioning temperature, and date of test. 9.2. Make and record the following measurements for each specimen: 9.2.1. Determine the longitudinal length of each specimen

21、to the nearest 1/16in. (1.5 mm) by making and averaging three measurements equally spaced over the chord length. 9.2.2. Determine the chord length of each specimen to the nearest 1/16in. (1.5 mm) by making and averaging three measurements equally spaced along the longitudinal length. 9.2.3. Determin

22、e the profile height of each specimen to the nearest 1/16in. (1.5 mm) by making and averaging three measurements equally spaced along the longitudinal length. 9.3. Place the specimen on the lower plate, centering the specimen under the testing machine crosshead vertical axis, as illustrated in Figur

Record the load, displacement, and time measurements continuously or intermittently with reference to the relative movement of the bearing plates. If measur

25、ements are made intermittently, make and record such measurements at increments of not more than 1 percent of the original specimen chord length. 9.7. Note the ultimate load carried by the sample. 9.8. Discontinue the test when the load on the specimen fails to increase with increasing deflection. 1

Calculate the ultimate compressive load capacity per unit length of pipe wall as the ultimate load (lb) divided by the average longitudinal length (in.). 11. REPORT 11.1.

34、is annex provides a detailed procedure for preparing specimens for the stub compression test. Test specimens must be carefully prepared and have square, parallel faces equidistant from the radial line at the center of the specimen. Specimens are composed of thin elements and are very flexible; there

35、fore, clamping and care are required to produce parallel ends for loading between the parallel plates. Suggested tools are those found to work best during the research to develop this standard. Other labs may use different procedures or equipment. Precise specimen preparation is critical to obtainin

39、ds of Milled Specimen with a Carpenters Square Cut the circumferential ends of each specimen square and parallel with a milling machine. Clamp A1.2.3.the test specimen to the table of the milling machine, supporting it at the center of the entire chord length. The sample must be clamped down firmly

40、enough that it does not move during the milling process, but not so firmly that its shape is warped from the clamping pressure. To ensure a square cut, alternate milling each side of the specimen until the chord length is within A1.2.4.the specified tolerance of 1.5 times the profile height, and the

41、 longitudinal faces are parallel to and equidistant from a radial passing through the center of the pipe and the midheight of the specimen. Place the specimen on a flat, level surface to check that the ends are plane, parallel, and square. A1.2.5.Place a 6-in. level on the specimen in several locati

42、ons to check that ends are plane along the specimen length and across the corrugation depth. Use a carpenters square to check that the specimen center is parallel with a radial line from the center of the pipe from which the specimen was removed. Flip the specimen so that the opposing end is flat ag

43、ainst the table, and repeat these checks. If necessary, make small adjustments to the ends of the sample using a belt sander. Following any A1.2.6.adjustments, repeat checks for plane, parallel, and square ends described in the previous step. 2015 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved.
