Apparatus and Materials6.1 Inflated Diaphragm Bursting Tester4 A testing ma-chine that meets the requirements of 6.1.1-6.1.4. Mounted so asto be free of externally induced vibrations.
16、6.1.1 Clamps, for firmly and uniformly securing the testspecimen between two annular, parallel, and durable surfaces,without slippage during the test. Use sufficient pressure toeffect the practicable minimization of slippage The upper andlower clamping surfaces shall have a circular coaxial aperture
17、of 31 6 0.75 mm (1.22 6 0.03 in.) in diameter: The surfacesof the clamps shall be durable and any edge which might causea cutting action shall be rounded to a radius of not more than0.4 mm. The lower clamp shall be integral with the chamber inwhich a pressure medium inflates the rubber diaphragm.NOT
18、E 3Since the clamping mechanism and clamping surfaces aresubject to considerable wear and distortion, they should be examinedperiodically and repaired or replaced when necessary. The effectiveness ofgrooving the clamping surfaces in the manner specified has not beendetermined.6.1.2 Diaphragm4A diaph
19、ragm of molded synthetic ornatural rubber, clamped between the lower clamping plate andthe rest of the apparatus so that before the diaphragm isstretched by pressure underneath it the center of its uppersurface is nominally level with the plane of the clampingsurface. The diaphragm should be inspect
20、ed frequently forpermanent distortion and renewed as necessary.6.1.3 Pressure GageThe instrument must be fitted with apressure measuring system, accurate throughout the entirerange of its scale to within a value of1%ofitsmaximumcapacity. For those instruments with a Bourdon type gage thecapacity of
21、the gage shall be such that the individual readingswill be not less than 25 % nor more than 75 % of the totalcapacity of the gage.6.1.4 Pressure SystemA means of applying controlledincreasing pressure to the underside of the diaphragm until thespecimen bursts. This can be achieved by two methods;hyd
22、raulic or pneumatic.6.1.4.1 Hydraulic Pressure is produced by a fluid displacedat the rate of 95 6 5 mL/min. The fluid is displaced by a pistonin the pressure chamber of the apparatus. The recommendedchamber fluid is USP chemically pure 96 % glycerin.NOTE 4Ethylene glycol may be substituted for the
23、glycerine ifdesired.6.1.4.2 Pneumatic Pressure is produced by controlling theflow of clean dry air through a valve. The valve is configuredas per 11.4.16.1.5 Aluminum Foil For Calibration of Tester5Pieces ofpretested aluminum sheet having a known bursting strength inthe range of 70 to 790 kPa (10 to
24、 115 psi) are used for checkingthe overall performance of the tester6.1.6 Pressure Recording.6.1.6.1 Hydraulic InstrumentsMeans shall be provided atthe instant of rupture of the specimen for stopping any furtherapplication of the loading pressure and for holding unchangedthe contents of the pressure
25、 chamber until the total burstingpressure and the pressure required to inflate the diaphragmindicated on the gage have been recorded.6.1.6.2 Pneumatic InstrumentsMeans shall be providedfor recording the loading pressure at the point of rupture.Diaphragm correction (tare pressure) is achieved by infl
26、atingthe diaphragm to the same distension recorded at bursting andrecording the amount of pressure to achieve this.7. Sampling7.1 Lot SampleAs a lot sample for acceptance testing,take at random the number of rolls of fabric directed in anapplicable material specification or other agreement betweenth
27、e purchaser and the supplier. Consider rolls of fabric to be theprimary sampling units.NOTE 5An adequate specification or other agreement between thepurchaser and the supplier requires taking into account the variabilitybetween rolls of fabric and between specimens from a swatch from a rollof fabric
28、 to provide a sampling plan with a meaningful producers risk,consumers risk, acceptable quality level, and limiting quality level.7.2 Laboratory SampleAs a laboratory sample for accep-tance testing, take a full width swatch 1 m (1 yd) long from theend of each roll of fabric in the lot sample, after
29、first discardinga minimum of1m(1yd)offabric from the very outside of theroll. From each roll or piece of circular knit fabric selectedfrom the lot sample, cut a band at least 305 mm (1 ft) wide7.3 Test SpecimensCut ten test specimens from eachswatch in the laboratory sample with each specimen being
30、125mm (5 in.) square.8. Calibration8.1 Routine Verification of Testing MachineCheck theoperation of the testing machine at least once each month bybursting five specimens of standard aluminum sheet. Theaverage of the indicated bursting resistance for the fivespecimens of aluminum sheet should be bet
31、ween 65 % of thatmarked on the package of the pretested aluminum sheetstandard.8.2 Calibration of Pressure Measuring System Calibratethe pressure measuring system, while inclined at the sameangle at which it is used, by means of a dead-weight tester ofthe piston type, or by means of a column of merc
32、ury.Alternatively, a traceable electronic pressure gage may be used.Such calibration is preferably carried out with the gage in itsnormal position in the tester.4The Hydraulic and Pneumatic Bursting Strength Testers are commerciallyavailable.5Standardized aluminum sheets for this purpose, bursting o
33、ver the range from 51to 150 psi (350 to 1035 kPa) may be obtained from the Pulp and Paper ResearchInstitute of Canada, 3420 University St., Montreal, Canada; from Testing FoilService, 304 N. Stevens St., Rhinelander, WI 54501; and from Testing Machines,Inc., 400 Bayview Ave., Amityville, NY 11701.D3
34、78606e128.3 Where agreement is not attained, check the testeraccording to the instructions given in Tappi Method T-403OS-74.NOTE 6Possible causes of low readings are gage error (bias ornonlinearity), gage expansivity too high, excessive gage pointer friction,air in hydraulic system or gage, diaphrag
35、m collapsed too far at zero, andlow pumping rate (hand-driven tester). Possible causes of high readingsare: gage error (bias nonlinearity), loose gage pointer (overshoot), gagepointer bent by stop-pin, insufficient clamping force (slipping), nonuni-form clamping (partial slipping), stiff or inelasti
36、c diaphragm, diaphragmabove clamping plate at zero, multiple sheet testing, high pumping rate(hand-driven tester), and double bursts. If a gage is accidentally usedbeyond its capacity, it must be recalibrated before it is used again.9. Conditioning9.1 Bring the specimens (or laboratory samples) from
37、 theprevailing atmosphere to moisture equilibrium for testing in thestandard atmosphere for textile testing as directed in PracticeD 1776.10. Selection and Number of Specimens10.1 Unless otherwise agreed upon, as when specified in anapplicable material specification, take ten specimens of thelaborat
38、ory sample(s) of fabric. Each specimen shall be at least125 mm (5 in.) square, or a circle 125 mm (5 in.) in diameter.Specimens need not be cut for testing. No two specimens fromknitted fabric should contain the same wale or course yarns.Take no specimens nearer the selvage than one tenth the fabric
39、width. This restriction does not apply to tubular knitted fabric.11. Procedure11.1 Make all tests on specimens conditioned in the stan-dard atmosphere for testing textiles as directed in 9.1.11.2 Hand Driven Hydraulic Tester:11.2.1 Insert the conditioned specimen under the tripod,drawing the specime
40、n taut across the plate, and clamp speci-men in place by bringing the clamping lever as far to the rightas possible.NOTE 7For specimens with considerable stretch, it may be necessaryto extend the fabric uniformly over the plate to remove some of the stretchbefore clamping.11.2.2 Rotate the hand whee
41、l, clockwise at a uniform speedof 120 rpm until the specimen bursts.11.2.3 Stop turning the hand wheel at the instant of ruptureof the specimen (see Note 8).11.2.4 Immediately after rupture and in rapid succession,release the clamping lever over the specimen. Immediatelyrelease the strain on the dia
42、phragm by turning the wheelcounterclockwise to its starting position and record the pres-sure required to inflate the diaphragm (tare pressure). Recordthe total pressure required to rupture the specimen.NOTE 8If the pressure stops increasing, as indicated by the dial, andthe specimen has not broken,
43、 push the operating lever to remove thepressure. Record that the stretch of the fabric exceeds the dimensionallimitations of the tester. If slippage of the specimen is noted, discard theresult and use a new specimen.11.3 Motor-Driven Hydraulic Tester:11.3.1 Insert the specimen between the top and bo
44、ttomclamp ensuring that the specimen is free from creases andfolds. Securely clamp the specimen in place by following themanufacturers instructions appropriate to the machine. Applypressure to the specimen until it bursts.11.3.2 Diaphragm Correction (Tare Pressure)Using thesame settings as employed
45、to burst the specimen, record thepressure required to distend only the diaphragm to the samepressure and height as used to burst the specimen. Record thisas the diaphragm correction (tare pressure).11.4 Pneumatic Tester:11.4.1 Adjust the control valve of the bursting tester so thatthe mean time to d
46、istend a specimen to burst falls within(20+/-5) s. Preliminary trials may be needed to fix the correctsetting of the control valve. Time to burst is to be recordedbetween the beginning of vaulting and the bursting of the testspecimen.11.4.2 Clamp the specimen securely. Ensuring that thespecimen does
47、 not slip. Place the distension recording deviceinto the measuring position and adjust it to the zero position.Fasten the safety cover in position according to machinerequirements. Apply pressure to the test specimen until thefabric bursts.11.4.3 Diaphragm correction. With the same setting of thecon
48、trol valve as that employed in the above tests, distend thediaphragm without the presence of a test specimen by anamount equal to the mean height at burst of the test specimen.Note the pressure at this distension of the diaphragm as the“diaphragm pressure”.12. Calculation12.1 Calculate the bursting
49、pressure of each specimen bysubtracting the tare pressure required to inflate the diaphragmfrom the total pressure required to rupture the specimen.12.2 Report the pressure reading of each individual speci-men and the average for each laboratory sampling unit and thelot.12.3 Report the type of bursting tester used.13. Report13.1 State that the specimens were tested as directed in TestMethod D 3786 using the Inflated Diaphragm Bursting Tester.Describe the material or product sampled and the method ofsampling used.13.2 Report the bursting strength of each indivi
