Significance and Use5.1 This test method may be used for
10、acceptance testing ofcommercial shipments of snap fasteners, but caution is advisedsince information on between laboratory precision is incom-plete. Comparative tests as directed in 5.1.1 are advisable.5.1.1 In case of a dispute arising from differences inreported test results when using Test Method
11、 D 4846 foracceptance testing of commercial shipments, the purchaser andseller should conduct comparative tests to determine if there isstatistical bias between their laboratories. Competent statisticalassistance is recommended for the investigation of bias. As aminimum, the two parties should take
12、a group of test speci-mens that are as homogeneous as possible and that are from alot of material of the type in question. The test specimens thenshould be assigned randomly in equal numbers to eachlaboratory for testing. The average results from the twolaboratories should be compared using Students
13、 t-test forunpaired data and an acceptable probability level chosen by thetwo parties before testing is begun. If a bias is found, either itscause must be found and corrected or the purchaser and sellermust agree to interpret future test results in the light of theknown bias.6. Apparatus6.1 Tensile

Sampling7.1 Lot SampleAs a lot sample for acceptance testing,take at random the number of shipping cartons of snapfasteners or shipping cartons of garments directed in anapplicable material specification or other agreement betweenthe purchaser and the seller. Consider shipping cartons
20、 of snapfasteners or shipping cartons of garments to be the primarysampling units.NOTE 1An adequate specification or other agreement between thepurchaser and the seller requires taking into account the variabilitybetween shipping cartons, units within a shipping carton, and betweenspecimens from a u
21、nit within a shipping carton, to provide a sampling planwith a meaningful producers risk, consumers risk, acceptable qualitylevel, and limiting quality level.7.2 Laboratory SampleAs a laboratory sample for accep-tance testing, proceed as follows:7.2.1 Unattached Snap FastenersTake one box or card of
22、unattached snap fasteners at random from each shipping cartonin the lot sample. If the male and female parts are packedseparately, take one box of each from each shipping carton inthe lot sample.7.2.2 Attached Snap FastenersTake one garment fromeach shipping carton in the lot sample.7.3 Test Specime

Ifthe male and female parts are packed separately, for each pairof boxes from a shipping carton in the lot sample, take fivemale parts at random and match them with five female partst
24、aken at random.7.3.2 Attached Snap FastenersFrom each garment in thelaboratory sample, take five snap fasteners at random ongarments with more than five. If less than five, take all snapfasteners from each garment.8. Conditioning8.1 Condition the specimens by bringing them from the dryside to approx

Procedure9.1 Preparing Specimens:9.1.1 Attaching Loose Snap FastenersWhen snap fasten-ers are to be attached to a material typical to intendedproduction, the pinch setting and other
26、 conditions specified bythe seller must be used. Cut fabric specimens to dimensions of38 by 89 mm (1.5 by 3.5 in.) and attach male part to one fabricspecimen and female part to the other fabric specimen, bothapproximately 19 mm (34 in.) from the ends or edge of thefabric specimens (see Fig. 2).9.1.2
27、 Cutting Specimens From GarmentsCut specimenfrom garments so that the snap fasteners are approximately 19mm (34 in.) from the end of a specimen measuring 38 by 89mm (1.5 by 3.5 in.). Cut the specimen as close to thesedimensions as possible where snap fastener spacings limitspecimen size cut from gar
28、ments.9.1.3 Marking of SpecimensSnap the fastener parts to-gether, keeping the edges of the two pieces of material inalignment. From the center of the snap fastener measure 38mm (1.5 in.) in each direction and place marks across the twopieces of material to provide a 76 mm (3 in.) overall length and
29、visual reference.9.2 Determination of Snap ActionSet the distance be-tween the upper and lower clamps of the testing machine for 76FIG. 1 Aluminum Plate FIG. 2 Specimen and Snap Fastener Arrangement for TestingD 4846 96 (2004)2mm (3 in.). Clamp the aluminum plate loosely in the jaw of theupper clamp
30、 to prevent the specimen from twisting. Insert thefemale end of the specimen so that the lower edge of the jawin the upper clamp is even with the mark placed on the materialand tighten the clamp. Clamp the male end of the specimen inthe jaw of the lower clamp so that the two snapped halves arestraig
31、ht and the pull is perpendicular to the plane of the snapfastener and material (see Fig. 3). Apply the load until the snapfastener disengages. Remove the male end of the specimenfrom the lower clamp, reset the distance between clamps to 76mm (3 in.), snap the male specimen to the female specimen,ali
32、gn the pieces so that the fabric material edges are straightand tighten the lower clamp. Apply the load until the snapfastener disengages. Record the nature of the failure and theload at failure to the nearest 0.4 N (0.1 lbf). Repeat thisprocedure until the specimen has been tested three times.9.3 D
33、etermination of Lateral Holding StrengthUse thesame specimens prepared from snap action tests. Use the sameprocedure specified in 9.2 except that the male specimen isclamped in the upper clamp and the force is applied in a planeparallel to the material and snap fastener (see Fig. 4).10.

36、exceed the following critical differences in 95 cases out of100 when all of the observations are taken by the samewell-trained operator using the same piece of test equipmentand specimens randomly drawn from the same sample ofmaterial and tested on the same day.Snap action .61 lbs for averages of 4L

The true values of snapaction and lateral holding strength can be defined only in termsof specific test methods. Within this limitation, the proceduresin
