16、to deviate mark-edly from other members of the sample in which it occurs.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The building product profile is cut apart, if necessary, toobtain a flat specimen at least 0.75 in. (19 mm) wide.4.2 Procedure A establishes the height from which a stan-dard falling 8-lb (3.6-kg) w
17、eight will cause 50 % of thespecimens to fail.4.3 Procedure B establishes the height from which a stan-dard falling 8-lb (3.6-kg) weight will cause 50 % of thespecimens to fail in a brittle mode.4.4 Both procedures employ either of two configurations ofimpactor heads resting on the specimen. The spe
18、cimen lays ona stand that has a 0.64-in. (16.3-mm) hole. The falling weightimpacts on the impactor head tending to drive it through thespecimen into the hole of the stand.4.5 The technique used to find 50 % failure level in bothprocedures is commonly called the Bruceton Staircase Methodor Up-and-Dow
19、n Method. Testing is concentrated near themean, reducing the number of specimens required to obtain areasonably precise estimate.5. Significance and Use5.1 The impact strength values obtained on the flat sectionsof a building product profile are relevant only to the flat sectionthat has been tested
20、and these values do not necessarily indicatethe impact resistance of the whole product, which is affected bythe configuration of the profile (that is, corners, ribs, etc).5.2 Constant weight and variable height, employed in thesetest methods, allow the velocity of impact to vary and,therefore, by Pr
21、ocedure B, can determine the energy ofductile-to-brittle transition, which cannot be determined if avariable weight is dropped from a constant height.5.3 These test procedures have been found to be usefulelements in rigid poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) building productcharacterization. Compound qualific
22、ation, finished productquality control, environmental and weatherability research andFIG. 1 Types of Failures of the SpecimenD4226052development studies, and fabrication tolerance prediction con-stitute useful applications.5.4 Choice of the specific impactor head configuration usedis related to a va
23、riety of product attributes, such as specimenthickness and product toughness as well as abstract factors,such as the anticipated mode of failure in a specific application.The geometric uniqueness of the impactor head configurationsprevents any comparison or correlation of testing results onsamples t
24、ested with differing impactor head configurations. Ingeneral, the conical impactor, C.125, is useful to ensure failureof thicker specimens where the H.25 impactor caused nofailure.NOTE 2Equivalent surface conditions are more likely to occur whenspecimens are prepared by compression molding or extrus
25、ion than byinjection molding.5.5 When comparing different samples tested with the sameimpactor head configuration, impact resistance shall be permit-ted to be normalized for average specimen thickness over areasonably broad range (for example, 1 to 3 mm).3However,this should only be done when the su
26、rface conditions listed in6.1 are essentially equivalent.6. Interferences6.1 The results obtained are greatly influenced by thequality of the test specimens. Cracks usually start at the surfacein tension; the surface opposite the one that is struck by theimpactor head. The composition of this surfac
27、e layer and thedegree of orientation introduced during the formation of thespecimen are very important variables. Flaws in this surfacewill also affect results. Because of these factors, sometimesadditional information about the sample is achieved by testingthe sample from a variety of locations in
28、a product or testingfrom both sides of a flat section.7. Apparatus7.1 Testing Machine The apparatus shall be constructedessentially as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 and shall consist of thefollowing: suitable base to withstand the impact shock; steel-rod impact weight weighing 8 6 0.2 lb (3.6 6 0.1 kg)
29、;hardened steel impactors as specified in 7.1.1; a slotted guidetube 40 in. (1.0 m) in length in which the impact weights slide,having an internal diameter sufficient so that friction does notreduce the weight velocity, and having graduations in inch-pound (newton-metre) increments, or multiples the
30、reof. Abracket is used to hold the tube in a vertical position byattaching it to the base and also to hold the hand knob, whichis a pivot-arm alignment for the impactor, about 2 in. (50 mm)under the tube. The top edge of the opening in the specimensupport plate should be rounded to a 0.031-in. (0.8-
31、mm) radius.Fig. 3 shows the specimen support configuration for this test.7.1.1 Impactor Configurations:7.1.1.1 Impactor C.125 shall be constructed, as is shown inFig. 4, of tough, hardened (Rockwell C 50-55), scratchresistant steel. It should have a conical (40-) configuration and0.125-in. (3.18-mm)
