8、research and development studies.5.2 This test method is intended for use in testing resin-compatible sized glass fiber materials that have been designedspecifically for use with certain generic types of plastics. Theuse of a resin impregnant that is compatible with the reinforce-ment material under

9、 test produces results that are most repre-sentative of the actual strength that is available in the materialwhen used as intended in an end item. Premature reinforcementfailure may occur if the elongation of the resin system is lessthan that of the reinforcement being tested. This requirementmay re

10、strict the use of certain resin systems in this procedure.Misleading results may be obtained when glass fiber materialsare tested without complete resin impregnation of the fiber orwhen a non-compatible resin is used for impregnation.5.3 This test method is useful for testing pretreated speci-mens f

11、or which comparative results are desired. Values ob-tained by this test method may be affected by gage length,gripping system, testing speed, and the resin impregnation ratioof the specimen.6. Apparatus6.1 Impregnation ApparatusAn example of an acceptableimpregnation apparatus for strands is shown i

12、n Fig. 1. Minormodifications to the apparatus are acceptable providing con-sistent samples are produced. The apparatus shall consistessentially of the following:6.1.1 Free Wheeling Spindle (Optional)A freely turningspindle with a horizontal axis for holding the yarn spool orroving ball. A spindle al

13、lows fiber to be pulled from a yarnbobbin or the outside of a roving package. Alternatively, thefiber may be drawn from the package without the spindle as inthe case of pulling from the interior of a roving package orforming cake.6.1.2 Tension Regulating System capable of maintaining theroving or ya

14、rn under tension between 0.2 Newtons and 20Newtons.6.1.3 Impregnation Tank, as illustrated in Fig. 2, consistingof a container and a static spreader bar assembly. The tank musthave the capability of maintaining the required resin tempera-ture within 65C. This may be accomplished by use of adouble wa

15、lled vat, with heating fluid circulating between thewalls, or by use of an external heating plate.6.1.4 Die, as illustrated in Fig. 3, made of stainless steelwhich gives a defined circular cross-section to the impregnatedroving.6.1.5 Winding Device and Framefor collecting the im-pregnated roving whi

16、ch insures that the fibers are kept underconstant tension and places the strands onto the fixture in amanner which allows separate specimens to be fabricated.6.2 Template for Tabbing (Optional)Atemplate, as shownin Fig. 4, shall be used to provide proper positioning of endtabs.6.3 Tension Testing Ma

17、chineA testing machine having aconstant-rate-of-crosshead movement and comprising essen-tially the following shall be available:6.3.1 Stationary Member, with one grip.6.3.2 Movable Member, with a second grip.6.3.3 GripsGrips for holding the test specimen betweenthe fixed and the movable member shall

18、 be of the self-aligningtype (that is, they shall be attached to the fixed and movablemembers in such a manner that they will move freely intoalignment as soon as any load is applied). The long axis of thetest specimens will then coincide with the direction of theapplied pull through the center line

19、 of the grip assembly.NOTE 4Air-actuated grips have been found advantageous and arerecommended for use in this test method.1 Die 5 Moving Support2 Tensioning Bars 6 Impregnation Vat (temperature regulated)3 Resin Level 7 Glass Input4 Tensioning DeviceFIG. 1 Typical Impregnation Equipment Configurati

These may be adjusted as necessary to prevent

21、slippage providing damage to the specimen due to crushing is prevented.6.3.4 JawsA set of removable jaws to match the requiredgrips shall be used for clamping the test specimens. One of thefaces of the jaws shall be adjustable to compensate forthickness of the specimen ends, so that the tension forc

22、e isaligned with the center of the jaw. Rubber-faced jaws, with agripping length of at least 50 mm, shall be used for grippingspecimens unless tabs are used. The jaws shall be wider thanthe test specimen and shall have a gripping length of at least 50mm. Their faces shall be plane and parallel and s

23、hall ensureuniform pressure over the whole width of the test specimen toassure the specimen is held without slippage. If slippage of thetest specimens is observed, 240 grit sandpaper strips shall beused to improve gripping. The sandpaper should be replacedwhen it has lost its grittiness, or after ev

24、ery 30 to 50 breaks.Alternatively, tabbing shall be used.6.3.5 Drive MechanismA drive mechanism capable ofimparting a uniform controllable speed to the movable memberof the apparatus.6.3.6 Load IndicatorA suitable load-indicating mecha-nism capable of showing the total tensile load carried by thetes

25、t specimen when held by the grips shall be used.

Speed of Testing9.1 Speed of testing shall be the re

32、lative rate of motion ofthe grips or test fixtures during test.9.2 The standard speed of testing is 10 mm/min for tensilestrength and 5 mm/min for apparent modulus of elasticityunless otherwise specified.10. Impregnation Procedure10.1 Set up the impregnating apparatus in accordance withFig. 1.10.2 C

33、over the ends of the winding fixture using 0.025 mm(0.001 in.) nominal thickness, heat-resistant plastic film, alu-minum foil, or equivalent parting film.10.3 Prepare a sufficient quantity of an impregnant suitablefor impregnating the material under test. Pour the impregnatingmixture into the tank s

34、o that the level is about 10 mm (0.39 in.)above the static breaker bars (see Fig. 2).10.4 Immediately prior to threading the material through theimpregnation apparatus, cut a 1000 6 1-mm (40 6 0.04-in.)skein of the material under test. Repeat the procedure imme-diately after winding one set of speci

35、mens. Place the twoskeins in a muffle furnace maintained at a temperature that willgive complete burn-off (usually 450C for 2 h) . Remove thetwo skeins from the furnace and place in a desiccator for aminimum of 15 min. Weigh the two skeins to the nearest 0.001g and record as Weight X.10.5 Select a s

36、tripper die of the proper diameter by using thechart or calculations in 12.3.10.6 Thread the glass fiber material through the impregnat-ing apparatus in an “under, over, under” path through the staticspreader bars. Firmly attach the end of the glass fiber to thewinding fixture with heat-resistant ma

37、sking tape. Drape thematerial on the winding fixture. Rotate the fixture eithermanually or at a motorized rate not exceeding 8 m/min (26ft/min).10.6.1 Maintain an impregnant-to-glass weight ratio of70 % for the preparation of the test specimens (see Note 7).NOTE 7The choice of die and the tex of the

38、 fiber will determine theglass content. It may also be affected by the viscosity of the resin used.Use the calculations in 12.2 to determine the die size to be used. If thecalculated die size does not yield the needed glass-weight ratio, thenadjustment of the die diameter will be needed.10.6.2 After

39、 the required number of specimens are wound,hold the winding tension on the material and use heat-resistantmasking tape to attach the material to the winding fixture. Cutthe material after attachment has been made.NOTE 8Optionally, a flat tongue depressor or metal spatula may beused to flatten the e

40、nd 100 mm (3.9 in.) of the glass strands. This flatteningof the gripped portion of the strands allows better clamping of thespecimens while minimizing crushing in the grip jaws.10.6.3 Place the loaded winding fixture in a horizontalposition in an air-circulating oven at a temperature and for alength

41、 of time necessary to cure the resin per manufacturersinstructions. After curing, cool to room temperature andremove the specimens from the winding fixture.10.7 Cut the specimens to the required length. Exercise careto prevent damage to the specimens during handling.10.8 Select specimens for the tes

43、s. Discard any unacceptable specimens. Weigheach specimen selected to the nearest 0.001 g and record asWeight Y.NOTE 9A thorough wetting of the glass fiber is essential to obtainingacceptable specimens. It is important that the specimens be examinedvisually to ensure that good wet-out of the fibers

44、by the resin has occurred.If acceptable wet out is not obtained, it shall be necessary to adjust theconfiguration of the fibers through the breaker bars in the impregnationbath by changing the over under pattern. A note regarding the quality ofwet-out is required in the report.10.9 If tabbing is to

45、be used, lay out the cut specimens onthe template and prepare a suitable quantity of adhesive (epoxyfor cardboard; polyester for mat). Place two strips of choppedstrand glass fiber mat (75 mm wide) or cardboard (55 mmwide) at their locations on the template on a metal plate andcoat them with adhesiv

46、e. Place the test specimens and thenapply two additional strips of tabbing material. Place anothermetal plate on top of the tabs and specimens. Place thetemplate, tabs, specimens, and plate into an oven and cure thetab resin at the temperature and duration recommended by themanufacturer. Upon remova

47、l from the oven, allow to cool andcut the tabbing to create individual tabbed test specimens. Takecare not to damage the impregnated glass specimens.11. Testing Procedure11.1 For testing tensile stress, set the speed of the testingmachine at 10 mm/minute.11.2 Adjust the load scale range so that it s

48、hall be adequatefor the estimated breaking load of the specimen under test.11.3 Set the jaws at the effective gage length of 150 mm 62 mm apart. Place the specimen in the jaws, taking care toensure alignment of the specimen axis on the grips with animaginary line joining the points of the attachment

49、s of the gripsto the machine. If mechanical grips are used, tighten the jawsevenly and firmly to the extent necessary to prevent slippage ofthe specimen during the test, but not to the point where thespecimen is crushed.11.4 Zero the machine and start the recorder. Load the testspecimen to failure. Record the ultimate breaking load.11.5 Compute the stress using the equation in 12.3.NOTE 10It is assumed for the purpose of this test that only the glassis involved in the rupturing process. This introduces a very slight error ,but simplifies the calculation.11.
