Flexural Strength (Method A)7.1 Summary of Test MethodFlexural properties of gyp-sum panel products are evaluated by supporting the specimennear the ends and applying a transverse load midway betweenthe supports.7.2 Significance and UseThis test method covers a proce-dure for evaluating t

21、he ability of gypsum panel products towithstand flexural stresses during handling or use of thematerial. This test method is used to determine compliancewith gypsum panel product specifications. The degree ofcorrelation between this test and service performance has notbeen fully determined.7.3 Appar

22、atusSee 6.1.7.3.1 Specimen SupportsAll specimen bearing supportsand load surfaces shall be true, shall engage the full width ofthe test specimen, shall be of such strength they will notdeform under the test load, and shall be rounded to a radius of0.125 in. (3.2 mm). The specimen supports shall be s

The supports shall beattached to a plate that shall be rigidly attached to the testapparatus. The supports shall be parallel to each other andperpendicular to the long dimension of the test spe

24、cimen. Thebearing surface of the end supports shall be on the same planeto ensure contact along the entire bearing surfaces. Supportsshall be not less than 12 in. (305 mm) in length. When a loadis being applied, the loading bar shall be in contact with the fullwidth of the specimen. The load-bearing

25、 surface shall beparallel to the bearing surface of the specimen supports. Thespecimen and supports shall be located so that the vertical axisthrough the center of the load-bearing surface passes throughthe specimen at one half of the specimen width and one half ofthe distance between the supports.7

26、.4 SamplingSampling shall be in accordance with Sec-tion 4.7.5 Test Specimens:7.5.1 Cut four specimens, each 12 in. (305 mm) by approxi-mately 16 in. (406 mm) from each gypsum panel product in thesample, two having the 16-in. dimension parallel to the edgeand two having the 16-in. dimension perpendi

27、cular to the edge.Cut the specimens not less than 4 in. (102 mm) away from theends and edges of the gypsum panel product except where theproduct is 24-in. or less in width, where it is impossible to doso.7.5.2 Condition specimens in accordance with Section 5.7.6 Procedure:7.6.1 Use the apparatus in

28、7.3, supporting each specimencentrally on the fixed parallel bearings, 14-in. (356 mm) oncenters, and apply the load on a similar bearing midwaybetween the supports. Position perforated gypsum lath so theload is not applied over perforations.7.6.2 For specimens with the long dimension parallel to th

29、eedge, test one specimen from each gypsum panel product faceup and the other face down. For specimens with the longdimension perpendicular to the edge, test one specimen fromeach gypsum panel product face up and the other face down.7.6.3 For gypsum panel products with surfacing material,the load is

30、determined at the time of transverse failure of thesurfacing material and core through the thickness of thespecimen. The specimens shall not show a break in the bondbetween the surfacing and the core before transverse failure ofFIG. 1 Apparatus Schematic for Core, End, and Edge Hardness TestC473 172

31、the gypsum panel product. If a single specimen fails, test twoadditional specimens from the same sample, and, if either oneof the two specimen fail, the sample has failed. For gypsumpanel products without surfacing material, the load is deter-mined at the time of transverse failure through the thick

32、ness ofthe specimen.7.7 ReportCalculate and report the average breaking loadin pound-force or newtons for each test condition, rounded tothe nearest 1 lbf (N). The test conditions are: (1) parallel, faceup; (2) parallel, face down; (3) perpendicular, face up; and, (4)perpendicular, face down.7.8 Pre

Core, End, and Edge Hardness (Method A)8.1 Summary of Test MethodThe core, end, and edgehardness of gypsum panel products is evaluated by determiningthe force required to push a steel punch into the area of test.8.2 Significance and UseThis test me

34、thod covers a proce-dure for evaluating the ability of the gypsum panel productcore, ends, and edges to resist crushing during handling or useof the material. This test method is used to determine compli-ance with gypsum panel product specifications. The degree ofcorrelation between these test metho

35、ds and service perfor-mance has not been determined.8.3 ApparatusSee 6.1. Clamp or secure the specimen tothe base of the test apparatus shown in Fig. 1 with the face ofthe specimen perpendicular to the base of the test apparatus andparallel to the movement of the steel punch. Secure the steelpunch t

36、o the moving head of the test apparatus, positioned sothat its center axis is parallel with the line of travel and so thatthe punch is inserted into the core equidistant from the surfacesof the specimen. Use a steel punch 0.099 6 0.003 in. (2.515 60.076 mm) in diameter and more than12 in. (12.7 mm)
