Test specimens individually after constant weight is reached and within 10 min upon removal from theconditioning chamber.NOTE 1Laboratory test results indicated that conditioning temperatures may range from 70 to 100 F 100F (21 to 38 C) 38C) without

17、significantlyaffecting the results. However, relative humidity is critical. This is the reason for testing specimens within 10 min upon removal from the conditioningchamber.Method AConstant Rate of LoadingINTRODUCTIONThe following procedures are applicable to so-called “shot machines” that utilize l

18、ead or steel shot that applies a load to thespecimen at a constant stress rate or any other device that applies the load at a constant stress rate.6. ApparatusMethod A6.1 Testing MachineApply the test load at a uniform rate of 1 lbf/s (4.45 N/s) 610 %. Apply the load with a deviceindependent of manu

19、al control of the rate of loading during an individual sample test (see Fig. 1). The deformation of the specimencontrols the cross head speed.7. Flexural Strength (Method A)7.1 Summary of Test MethodFlexural properties of gypsum panel products are evaluated by supporting the specimen near theends an

20、d applying a transverse load midway between the supports.7.2 Significance and UseThis test method covers a procedure for evaluating the ability of gypsum panel products to withstandflexural stresses during handling or use of the material. This test method is used to determine compliance with gypsum

21、panelproduct specifications. The degree of correlation between this test and service performance has not been fully determined.7.3 ApparatusSee Section 6.1.7.3.1 Specimen SupportsAll specimen bearing supports and load surfaces shall be true, shall engage the full width of the testspecimen, shall be

22、of such strength they will not deform under the test load, and shall be rounded to a radius of 0.125 in. (3.2 mm).The specimen supports shall be spaced 14 6 0.016 in. (356 6 0.41 mm) on centers measured at the points of surface contact withthe specimen. The supports shall be attached to a plate that

23、 shall be rigidly attached to the test apparatus. The supports shall beparallel to each other and perpendicular to the long dimension of the test specimen. The bearing surface of the end supports shallbe on the same plane to ensure contact along the entire bearing surfaces. Supports shall be not les

24、s than 12 in. (305 mm) in length.When a load is being applied, the loading bar shall be in contact with the full width of the specimen. The load-bearing surface shallbe parallel to the bearing surface of the specimen supports. The specimen and supports shall be located so that the vertical axisthrou

25、gh the center of the load-bearing surface passes through the specimen at one half of the specimen width and one half of thedistance between the supports.7.4 SamplingSampling shall be in accordance with Section 4.FIG. 1 Apparatus Schematic for Core, End, and Edge Hardness TestC473 1527.5 Test Specime

26、ns:7.5.1 Cut four specimens, each 12 in. (305 mm) by approximately 16 in. (406 mm) from each gypsum panel product in thesample, two having the 16-in. dimension parallel to the edge and two having the 16-in. dimension perpendicular to the edge. Cutthe specimens not less than 4 in. (102 mm) away from

27、the ends and edges of the gypsum panel product except where the productis 24-in. or less in width, where it is impossible to do so.7.5.2 Condition specimens in accordance with Section 5.7.6 Procedure:7.6.1 Use the apparatus in 7.3, supporting each specimen centrally on the fixed parallel bearings, 1

28、4-in. (356 mm) on centers,and apply the load on a similar bearing midway between the supports. Position perforated gypsum lath so the load is not appliedover perforations.7.6.2 For specimens with the long dimension parallel to the edge, test one specimen from each gypsum panel product face upand the

29、 other face down. For specimens with the long dimension perpendicular to the edge, test one specimen from each gypsumpanel product face up and the other face down.7.6.3 For gypsum panel products with surfacing material, the load is determined at the time of transverse failure of the surfacingmateria

30、l and core through the thickness of the specimen. The specimens shall not show a break in the bond between the surfacingand the core before transverse failure of the gypsum panel product. If a single specimen fails, test two additional specimens fromthe same sample, and, if either one of the two spe

31、cimen fail, the sample has failed. For gypsum panel products without surfacingmaterial, the load is determined at the time of transverse failure through the thickness of the specimen.7.7 ReportCalculate and report the average breaking load in pound-force or newtons for each test condition, rounded t

32、o thenearest 1 lbf (N). The test conditions are: (1) parallel, face up; (2) parallel, face down; (3) perpendicular, face up; and, (4)perpendicular, face down.7.8 Precision and BiasSee Section 22 and Tables 1 and 2.8. Core, End, and Edge Hardness (Method A)8.1 Summary of Test MethodThe core, end, and

33、 edge hardness of gypsum panel products is evaluated by determining the forcerequired to push a steel punch into the area of test.8.2 Significance and UseThis test method covers a procedure for evaluating the ability of the gypsum panel product core,ends, and edges to resist crushing during handling

34、 or use of the material. This test method is used to determine compliance withgypsum panel product specifications. The degree of correlation between these test methods and service performance has not beendetermined.8.3 ApparatusSee 6.1. Clamp or secure the specimen to the base of the test apparatus

Secure the steel punchto the moving head of the test apparatus, positioned so that its center axis is parallel with the line of travel and so that the punchis

36、 inserted into the core equidistant from the surfaces of the specimen. Use a steel punch 0.099 6 0.003 in. (2.515 6 0.076 mm)in diameter and more than 12 in. (12.7 mm) long with the bearing surface machined to a 90 angle in reference to the punch centerline (see Fig. 1 for test setup schematic).8.4
