7、:3.1.1 failureany rupture visible to an observer with theunaided eye and normal eyesight is considered a failure. Anyevidence of contained liquid on the outside of the containerthrough any aperture other than the molded opening is also afailure. Container should be squeezed gently after impact todet
8、ermine any pinhole type failures. If a cap pops off duringimpact, consider that sample as a NO TEST and replace thesample with another container.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The drop impact resistance is determined by droppingconditioned blow-molded containers filled with water from aplatform onto a
9、 prescribed surface. Data developed with awater-filled container are not always representative of whatmight be expected with a carbonated liquid, an aerosol pack, aproduct of high specific gravity, or a powder of low bulkdensity.4.1.1 Procedure A consists of dropping at least 20 contain-ers from a f
10、ixed height and reporting the percent failures.4.1.2 Procedure B consists of dropping at least 20 testcontainers from varying heights above and below the meanfailure height of the set. A mean failure height and standarddeviation are then calculated from the data.5. Significance and Use5.1 These proc
11、edures provide measures of the drop impactresistance of the group or lot of blown containers from whichthe test specimens were selected.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D20 on Plasticsand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D20.19 on Film and Sheeting.Current edi

14、9, United States.5.2 It is acceptable to use these procedures for routineinspection purposes.5.3 These procedures will evaluate the effect of construc-tion, materials, and processing conditions on the impactresistance of the blown containers.5.4 Before proceeding with this test method, reference the
15、specification of the material being tested. Any test specimenpreparation, conditioning, dimensions, or testing parameters, orcombination thereof, covered in the materials specificationshall take precedence over those mentioned in this test method.If there are no material specifications, then the def
16、ault condi-tions apply.6. Apparatus6.1 Drop Testing Machine4(see Fig. 1), having the follow-ing features:6.1.1 A platform (see Fig. 2) upon which to set the testspecimens, which can be raised or lowered either manually orby means of an electric motor.6.1.2 The platform shall be adjustable to make it
17、 suitable forbeing leveled but shall also be stable so that it will not tilt underthe weight of the test specimen.6.1.3 The platform shall be spring-loaded so that uponrelease it will move rapidly out of the path of the test specimenand will not interfere with its fall.6.1.4 A manually or electrical
18、ly operated platform releasemechanism that will hold the platform securely when beingloaded but will release the platform instantaneously and willnot interfere with its path of travel.6.2 A surface on which the containers are dropped consist-ing of a flat hot-rolled steel plate, or equivalent, with
19、minimumdimensions of 1000 mm by 1000 mm by 13 mm (36 in. by 36in. by12 in.) having an unpolished chrome-plated surface,plated in accordance with Practice B177, and securely attachedto an industrial concrete surface or floor, so that the line of dropof the containers is perpendicular to the chrome-pl
20、ated surface.6.3 A means of measuring the height of the platform abovethe impact surface.6.3.1 If a more stringent impact test is desired, securelyfasten a positioning jig capable of holding a test container atthe proper angle for a 45 angle impact to the platform. Whensuch a jig is used, the drop h

Test Specimens7.1 A minimum of 20 containers shall be selected so theyare representative of the lot being tested for any one of the testprocedures. These shall be fitted
22、 with suitable closures.8. Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Periodically, or before each test series, check the plat-form of the drop impact machine, and adjust it if necessary, toensure that the specimen will strike the impact area squarely onthe desired surface. If this is necessary, use the followingp
23、rocedure:8.1.1 Move the platform to the approximate mean failureheight of the containers to be tested with a specimen on theplatform in the desired position.8.1.2 Release the platform allowing the specimen to fallonto the impact surface.8.1.3 Take a snapshot picture of the container just before itst

27、1.3 as necessary.9. Conditioning9.1 Fill containers with tap water to their nominal fillcapacity and condition them uncapped for 24 h at 23 6 2C (736 3.6F).9.2 If the test is intended for immediate quality control, fillthe containers with room temperature water and test at thattemperature. A correla
28、tion shall have been previously devel-oped by the testing laboratory between this type of test and thatrequiring 24-h conditioning.9.2.1 It is acceptable to use conditioning temperatures otherthan 23 6 2C if desired, provided such conditioning isreported and adequate precautions are taken to ensure
29、thecontainers are at that temperature during testing.10. Procedure10.1 Procedure A:10.1.1 Set the platform at the test height of interest.10.1.2 Drop at least 20 containers individually recordingfailures and non-failures.10.2 Procedure B:10.2.1 This procedure, used to determine the mean failureheigh
30、t of the test specimens, is called the “Up and Down” orBruceton Staircase Method. It consists of dropping a set of testspecimens from various heights, the drop height being raised orlowered depending on the result obtained on the specimen mostrecently tested; that is, if the previous specimen failed
31、, the dropheight is lowered; if the previous specimen did not fail, thedrop height is raised.10.2.2 Drop the first test container from 300 mm (12 in.)below the expected mean failure height. If the mean failureheight is unknown several trial samples shall be tested by wayof the staircase procedure to
32、 obtain at least two failures and twonon-failures to establish the starting height.10.2.3 If the first test container dropped did not fail, drop thesecond container from a height of 300 mm (12 in.) higher. Ifthe first container failed, drop the second container from aheight of 300 mm (12 in.) lower.
33、10.2.4 Continue the testing until a minimum of 20 testcontainers have been dropped, raising or lowering the platformone interval (300 mm (12 in.) depending on the resultsobtained on the most recently tested container.10.2.5 Record the drop height and the results (failed or didnot fail) on each conta
34、iner tested.10.2.6 If the increment in height of drop is different from300 mm (12 in.), the appropriate increment must be reportedand used in the calculations in 11.2.11.
