Significance and Use4.1 This bearing strength test for plastics is intended toapply in the specification of various thermoplastic or thermo-setting products in sheet form where rivets, bolts, or similarfastenings are to be used in joining members or sections. It alsois intend

10、ed to apply wherever sheet materials of the classesindicated are required to sustain edgewise loads that areapplied by means of pins or rods of circular cross section whichpierce the sheet perpendicular to the surface.4.2 The purpose of the test is to determine the bearingstrength of the material an

11、d to show the bearing stress versusthe deformation of the hole. The allowable deformation of thehole in the material should be such as to produce no loosenessof joints.4.3 While it is a known fact that higher strength materialswill generally give higher bearing strengths, there is nosatisfactory met

12、hod by which bearing strength may be esti-mated from tensile or compressive properties of the material.4.4 Before proceeding with this test method, referenceshould be made to the specification of the material being tested.Any test specimen preparation, conditioning, dimensions ortesting parameters o

A size of test specimen shall be chosen thatmost nearly conforms to production requirements of thematerial and the type of loading under consideration. Thethicker specimens with the larger

21、 bearing hole are likely to givethe more precise results, although it is advantageous to use thethinner specimens with the smaller bearing hole in testingcertain relatively brittle plastics because they are less likely tofail prematurely. The specimen may be machined from sheet ormolded to finished

Measurement of Dimensions9.1 Measure the width and thickness of the conditioned testspecimen to the nearest 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) at the bearinghole. Also measure the diameter of the bearing hol

30、e and thedistance from the center of the bearing hole to the edge of thespecimen in the direction of the principal stress to the nearest0.025 mm (0.001 in.).

31、sshead travel in the testing ofspecimens shall not exceed 1.3 6 0.3 mm (0.05 6 0.01in.)/min. In any case the crosshead movement shall be slowenough so that deflection gage readings can be made accu-rately.11. Procedure11.1 The choice of either Procedure A for tension loading(11.2) or Procedure B for

32、 compression loading (11.3)isoptional, but it should be recognized that Procedure B giveshigher bearing strength values than Procedure A on the samematerial. Test specimens according to both ProceduresAand Bif a complete specification of bearing strength is required.11.2 Procedure A for Tension Load

33、ingMount the speci-men to be tested in the tension loading fixture and attach adeformation indicator. If a dial gage (Fig. 2) is used, adjust theyoke so that contact is made with the specimen at the levelindicated in Fig. 1. Exception is taken in the case of thosethermoplastic materials which exhibi

34、t extended plastic flow.Such specimens tend to “neck down” in the region of thebearing hole, and it is necessary to mount the yoke 12.7 mm (12in.) below the normal position indicated in A, Fig. 1, so that itwill not slip during test.11.3 Procedure B for Compression LoadingMount thespecimen to be tes

35、ted in the compression loading fixture andload through a flat, hardened compression plate. Adjust theclearance between the thrust bushings of the loading fixturesuch that their contact with the specimen is sufficient to supportit in a vertical position without binding. Clamp the hardwoodcheek blocks

36、 in place and attach the deformation indicator (seeFig. 4).11.4 Details Common to Procedures A and BTake care inaligning the long axis of the specimen with the center line ofthe testing fixture. Load the specimen at the prescribed rate ofcrosshead travel and take deformation readings. In case auto-g

37、raphic recording is not available, record the load sustained bythe specimen for every 0.0127-mm (0.0005-in.) deformationup to a total deformation of 4 % of the bearing hole diameter.Continue the test until maximum load is sustained and thecorresponding deformation of the bearing hole is recorded.12.

38、 Calculation12.1 Plot the load - deflection curve for each specimen.12.2 Use a template, as described in the Appendix, todetermine the load at 4 % hole deformation.12.3 Calculate the bearing strength as follows:Sb5 P/td!

Precision and Bias14.1 Attempts to develop a comprehensive interlaboratoryprecision and bias statement for this test method have not beensuccessful because of the small numb

48、er of laboratories usingthis test method. However, limited precision data from onelaboratory on one material utilizing a single operator, a singleapparatus, on a single day and replicate runs of the material hasbeen provided as follows: Determinations were made on twosets of ten individual specimens

49、 to provide two test results. Thecoefficient of variation of the two test results averaged 4.9 %with a difference of 0.3 % between results.14.2 There are no recognized standards to estimate the biasof this test method. Anyone wishing to participate in thedevelopment of precision and bias data should contact thechairman, Subcommittee D20.10 (Section D20.10.01), ASTMInternational, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, West Conshohocken, PA194282959.15.
