Summary of Test Method4.1 Fabric specimens are embedded in a rubber compoundand air pressure is applied to freshly exposed yarn ends.Detergent solution is applied to the o
9、pposite end of the yarnswhich have also been freshly exposed. Air wicking is indicatedby continuous formation of air bubbles in the detergentsolution due to air passing along the axis of a yarn.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is considered satisfactory for theacceptance testing of commer
10、cial shipments of tire fabricssince this test method has been used extensively in the trade foracceptance testing. This test method is also considered satis-factory for quality control.5.1.1 In case of a dispute arising from differences inreported test results when using this test method for accepta
11、ncetesting of commercial shipments, the purchaser and the sup-plier should conduct comparative tests to determine if there isa statistical bias between their laboratories. Competent statis-tical assistance is recommended for the investigation of bias.As a minimum, the two parties should take a group
12、 of testspecimens that are as homogeneous as possible and that arefrom a lot of material of the type in question. The testspecimens should then be randomly assigned in equal numbersto each laboratory for testing. The average results from the twolaboratories may be compared using appropriate statisti
13、calanalysis and an acceptable probability level chosen by the twoparties before the testing is begun. If a bias is found, either itscause must be found and corrected or the purchaser and thesupplier must agree to interpret future test results with consid-eration to the known bias.1This test method i

16、8-2959, United States.5.2 This test method is applicable for testing the air perme-ability of any fabric that is embedded in a rubber compound,but is particularly useful when testing chafer fabrics to be usedin a tubeless tire construction. In tubeless tires, chafer fabricyarns that are not wick pro
17、of represent potential channels forair to pass through, and thus, this test method provides aprediction of chafer permeability.5.3 Evaluation of air wicking in other fabric and cordcomponents in such products as tires, rubber brake diaphragms,and pneumatic hoses, is useful.6.

Preparation of Test Panels10.1 Tire Fabric Test Panel PreparationEmbed the fabricspecimens in a 38 by 76 by 6.4-mm (1.5 by 3.0 by 0.25-in.)cured rubber compound test panel which is bounded by a 6.4by 6.4-mm (0.25 by 0
34、.25-in.) flange, perpendicular to the38-mm (1.5-in.) test panel dimension. The test panel istrimmed to expose yarn ends for testing. See Fig. 1.10.1.1 Cut two pieces of rubber compound (C) 6.4 by 6.4 by89 mm (0.25 by 0.25 by 3.5 in.).10.1.2 Cut three sheets of rubber compound (D) 2.3 by 76by 38 mm (
35、0.09 by 3 by 1.5 in.). Preassemble the test panel inthe following order (refer to letter designation in Fig. 1): D, A,D, B, D. Locate fabric specimens (A) and (B) to ensure thefabric is centered in the 38 by 76-mm (1.5 by 3.0-in.) test panelplane. Roll the composite with a stitching wheel or otherco
36、mparable device to minimize entrapped air.10.1.3 The mass of the test panel, including flange strips,must exceed 35 g (1.23 oz). If a rubber compound other thanthat given in Table 1 is used, the density of the rubbercompound may differ, and the minimum mass of the test panelwill also differ. If nece
37、ssary, additional rubber compound canbe applied to the flange strip to obtain the required mass.10.2 Tire Cord or Yarn Test Panel Preparation (IncludingCords from Tire Cord Fabrics or Yarns):10.2.1 From one to three tire cord or yarn specimens can beplaced in one test panel. If more than one specime
38、n is placedin a test panel, then mark the specimen locations on the outsideof the test panel. Place each specimen in location (A) only ofthe test panel, so that the yarn ends protrude equally from bothsides of the test panel. Fill location (B) with a 2.3 by 76 by38-mm (0.09 by 3 by 1.5-in.) sheet of
39、 rubber compound.10.2.2 The mass of the test panel, including flange strips,must exceed 35 g (1.23 oz). If a rubber compound other thanthat given in Table 1 is used, the density of the rubbercompound may differ, and the minimum mass of the test panelwill also differ. If necessary, additional rubber
40、compound canbe applied to the flange strip to obtain the required mass.10.3 Test Panel Vulcanization:10.3.1 Preheat a cold mold and vulcanizing press to thetemperature specified for the rubber compound in use.10.3.2 Insert the two 6.4 by 6.4 by 89-mm (0.25 by 0.25 by3.5-in.) flange strips (C) in the
41、 corresponding slots in thepreheated mold. Insert the test panel into the mold and press itto the bottom of the cavity.10.3.3 Insert the mold between press platens and adjust thepressure to at least 3.45 MPa (500 psi) with reference to the topsurface of the mold. Leave the mold in the press under pr
42、essurefor 30 min or the vulcanizing time specified for the rubbercompound in use. Withdraw the mold and remove test panelsfrom the mold. Allow the test panels to cool to room tempera-ture by exposure to air or immersion in water before proceed-ing to the next step.10.4 Post Vulcanization SetupUsing
43、a sharp knife or die,cut 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) from each 76-mm (3.0-in.) edge of thetest panel to expose yarn ends. See Fig. 1. The test panel mustbe tested within6hofthetime the yarns are exposed. If morethan 6 h elapse before the panel is tested, expose fresh yarnends by trimming away an additional 1-
44、mm strip from the76-mm edge.11. Procedure11.1 Place the test panel between the plates of the testchamber and secure the two plates. Apply detergent solution tothe exposed yarn ends. Apply air pressure as specified in thepurchase agreement. Maintain air pressure as specified andobserve yarn ends to d
