It is not intended to measure susceptibility to blocking.1.2 By this procedure, the film-to-film adhesion, expressed as a blocking load in grams, will cause two layers of film with anarea of contact of 100 cm2 to separate. The test method is limited to a maximum load o

7、83.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Two pieces of film, which are in contact with each other, are placed between two 100-mm (4-in.) square blocks. The endsof the films that extend past the blocks are secured to the respective upper and lower block. The force required to overcome theadhesion (blocking fo
8、rce) between the two pieces of film or until they reach 1.9 cm of separation is measured in grams using aconstant-rate-of-load or a constant-rate-of separation device.5. Significance and Use5.1 Blocking develops in film processing and storage when layers of smooth film are in intimate contact with n
9、early completeexclusion of air. Temperature, or pressure, or both, can induce or change the degree of adhesion of the surfaces.5.2 The procedure of this test method closely simulates the operation of separating film in some end-use applications.6. Apparatus6.1 The parallel block faces shall be squar
10、e and 100 6 0.1 mm (on each edge with a flat and slightly knurled or sand-blastedfinish of root mean square 125). A means must be provided to prevent the blocks from sliding when they are in contact duringloading.1 This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D20 on Plastics and is t

Conditioning8.1 ConditioningCondition the test specimens at 23 6 2C (73.4 6 3.6F) and 50 6 10 % relative humidity for not less than40 h prior to test in accordance with ProcedureAof Practice D618 unless otherwise spec

26、ASTM material specification. In cases of disagreement, the tolerances shall be 61C (61.8F) and65 % relative humidity.Procedures9. Procedure AConstant-Rate-of-Load Device9.1 Place double-coated tape over two parallel small faces of each aluminum block, or place the holding magnets on the blocksas if
27、a sample were being mounted.9.2 Operate the instrument several times, then determine the average of three “block” determinations as “test tare.”9.3 Gently place the un-separated film specimen between the two plates with approximately 38 mm of film protruding from eachend of the plate. Place both pla
28、tes in contact with the film aligned with each other. Clamp the plates together with the positioningclamp on the side. When the plates are brought together, do not slide them sideways because this could possibly break the blockbetween the film specimens.9.4 Carefully separate the edges of the film a
29、nd stick both protruding edges of the top film to the top plate and the bottom filmedges to the bottom plate using the double-faced, pressure-sensitive tape, or holding magnets.9.5 When the film is in place, gently release the positioning clamp. Push the “on” switch. It will automatically stop when
30、thefilms separate or reach 19 mm separation.9.6 Subtract the tare value from the maximum load shown on digital display and record this value.9.7 Measure and record the thickness of both the upper and lower layers of the film.9.8 Repeat the test five times using different specimens.10. Procedure BCon
31、stant-Rate-of-Separation Device10.1 Adjust the crosshead speed to 5.1 mm per minute (65 %).10.2 Using a wide knife blade or spatula, lift the film specimen and transfer it carefully to a symmetrical position on the lowerblock with its long ends overlapping the block equally on each side.10.3 Move th
32、e crosshead of the testing machine until the upper block is resting on the film specimen and is directly above thelower plate.10.4 Carefully separate the ends of the double layer of film using the sharp edge of the knife blade, and peel back to the edgesof the blocks on each side.10.5 Tape the two e
33、nds of the upper layer of film to the upper block, and the two ends of the lower layer of the film to the lowerblock. Extend the tape an inch around the corners to the front and rear of the blocks so that the ends of the films are securelyfastened to the appropriate blocks. Do not otherwise disturb
34、the film or plates during this operation.10.6 Start the crosshead travel and allow the testing machine to record the force required to completely separate the two layersof films or until 1.9 cm of separation. As the test proceeds, the force acting on the films will vary as the two films arch out, aw
35、ayfrom the blocks, and peel apart.10.7 Record the maximum load in grams.10.8 Measure and record the thickness of both the upper and lower layers of the film.10.9 Repeat the test five times using different specimens.11.

Precision and Bias512.1 PrecisionTable 1 is based on round robins conducted in 1986 and 1987 in accordance with Practice E691, involving sixmaterials tested by six laboratories. For each material, all samples were prepared at one source, but the individual specimens wereprepare
38、d at the laboratories that tested them. Each test result was the average of five individual determinations. Each laboratoryobtained two test results for each material. (WarningThe explanations of r and R (12.2 12.2.3) are only intended to presenta meaningful way of considering the approximate precis
39、ion of this test method. The data presented in Table 1 should not be appliedto acceptance or rejection of materials, as these data apply only to the materials tested in the round robin and are unlikely to berigorously representative of other lots, formulations, conditions, materials, or laboratories
40、. Users of this test method should applythe principles outlined in Practice E691 to generate data specific to their materials and laboratory (or between specific laboratories).The principles of 12.2 12.2.3 would then be valid for such data.)12.2 Concept of r and R in Table 1If Sr and SR have been ca
41、lculated from a large enough body of data, and for test resultsthat were averages from testing five specimens for each test result, then:12.2.1 Repeatability, r, is the interval representing the critical difference between two test results for the same material, obtainedby the same operator using th
42、e same equipment on the same day in the same laboratory. Two test results shall be judged notequivalent if they differ by more than the r value for that material.12.2.2 Reproducibility, R, is the interval representing the critical difference between two test results for the material, obtainedby diff
43、erent operators using different equipment in different laboratories, not necessarily on the same day. Two test results shallbe judged not equivalent if they differ by more than the R value for that material.12.2.3 Any judgment in accordance with 12.2.1 or 12.2.2 would have an approximate 95 % (0.95)
44、 probability of being correct.12.3 BiasThere are no recognized standards by which to estimate the bias of this test method.13.
