24、 cutting, application, and loading ofthe specimens, the following terms apply:3.2.1.1 crosswise (CW), adjin the direction of the sheet at90 to the lengthwise direction. This is normally the weakestdirection in flexure. For some materials, including the rawmaterials used for manufacture of materials

26、late.3.2.1.4 lengthwise (LW), adjin the direction of the sheetwhich is strongest in flexure. For some materials, including theraw materials used for the manufacture of materials consideredherein, this direction may be designated as the machinedirection or the warp direction.3.2.2 In referring to bon

Conditioning4.1 The properties of the materials described in these testmethods are affected by the temperature and moisture exposureof th

28、e materials to a greater or lesser extent, depending on theparticular material and the specific property. Control of tem-perature and humidity exposure is undertaken to: (1) obtainsatisfactory test precision, or (2) study the behavior of thematerial as influenced by specific temperature and humidity

29、conditions.4.2 Unless otherwise specified in these test methods or by aspecific ASTM material specification, or unless material be-havior at a specific exposure is desired, condition test speci-mens in accordance with Procedure A of Practice D 6054 andtest in the Standard Laboratory Atmosphere (23 6

Apparatus and Procedure5.1 Measure thickness in accordance with Test MethodsD 374.5.2 On test specimens, the use of a machinists micrometeras specified in Method B is satisfactory for the determination ofthickness for all of the test methods that follow

31、. Where it isconvenient, use the deadweight dial micrometer, Method C.5.3 On large sheets, use Method B. Choose a micrometerwith a yoke of sufficient size and rigidity to permit accuratemeasurements in the center of the sheet.6. Precision and Bias6.1 Results of comparative tests in several factories

32、, mea-suring 36-in. (914-mm) square sheets by a variety of suchdevices, indicate that the trade is able to measure sheets132 and18 in.

Test Specimens7.1 Machine the test specimens from sample material toconform to the dimensions of sheet and plate materials in Fig.1

35、.7.2 Prepare four LW and four CW specimens.8. Rate of Loading8.1 The materials covered by these test methods generallyexhibit high elastic modulus. Use any crosshead speed pro-vided that the load and strain indicators are capable of accuratemeasurement at the speed used, except use 0.05 in./min (1mm

36、/min) in matters of dispute.9. Procedure9.1 Measure the tensile strength and elastic modulus inaccordance with Test Method D 638 except as modified in thefollowing paragraphs.9.2 Measure the width and thickness of the specimen to thenearest 0.001 in. (0.025 mm) at several points along the lengthof t

37、he flat section, which is indicated as Dimension F in Fig. 1.Record the minimum values of cross-sectional area so deter-mined.9.3 Place the specimen in the grips of the testing machine,taking care to align the long axis of the specimen and the gripswith an imaginary line joining the points of attach

38、ment of thegrips to the machine.Allow 0.25 in. (6.3 mm) between the endsof the gripping surfaces and the shoulders of the fillet of the flattest specimen; thus, it is important that the ends of the grippingsurfaces be the indicated distance apart, as shown in Fig. 1,atthe start of the test. Tighten

39、the grips evenly and firmly to thedegree necessary to prevent slippage of the specimen duringthe test, but not to the point where the specimen would becrushed.9.4 Tensile StrengthSet the rate of loading. Load thespecimen at the indicated rate until the specimen ruptures.Record the maximum load (usua

40、lly the load at rupture).9.5 Elastic ModulusWhen elastic modulus is desired, usea load-extension recorder with appropriate extension transmit-ter and proceed as in 9.3. Attach the extension transmitter, andproceed as in 9.4.10. Report10.1 Report the following information:10.1.1 Complete identificati

Precision and Bias11.1 This test method has been in use for many years, but nostatement for precision has been made and no activity isplanned to develop such a statement.11.2 This test method has no bias because the value f

48、orbreaking strength is determined solely in terms of this testmethod itself. See Test Method D 638 for a discussion ofprecision and bias for tensile testing of plastics.FLEXURAL PROPERTIES12. Test Specimens12.1 Test four LW and four CW specimens machined fromsample material in accordance with Test M

49、ethods D 790.NOTE 3Conventional flexure tests in a flatwise direction are notrecommended for materials thinner than132 in. (1 mm) nor in theedgewise direction for materials thinner than14 in. (6 mm).13. Rate of Loading13.1 The materials covered by these test methods generallyrupture during flexural testing at small deflections. Therefore,ProcedureA(strain rate of 0.01/min) is specified whenever it isdesired to obtain the modulus of elasticity.
