The size of test specimens may be modified toaccommodate the characteristics of the material that is beingtested.5. Significance and Use5.1 Minimum tensile strength of the

7、perforation is importantto assure that the form will not prematurely break apart duringthe printing, converting, and forms handling operation.5.2 Where the various parts are detached for further pro-cessing maximum tensile strength of the perforation is impor-tant in the various operations to which

8、the form is subjected.6. Interferences6.1 Avoid manipulation by folding and refolding a perfora-tion since this will cause weakening of the ties in theperforation. The folded specimen should not be unfolded untiljust prior to testing.6.2 To avoid placing uneven stress on the perforation,exercise ext

9、reme care in placing the test piece in the jaws of thetensile tester to be sure that the strip is not skewed. Unevenstress results in a“ tear effect rather than the “tensile effect.7.

15、lded so that the front printing isnot visible (infold perforation) and consecutive duplicatesamples so that the front printing is visible (outfold perfora-tion).8.3.2 Unfolded perforations perpendicular to the machineor web directionTake duplicate samples of each perforationbetween consecutive “info

16、ld perforations.8.3.3 Unfolded perforations parallel to the machine or webdirectionTake duplicate samples of each perforation, thelength of which should be the distance between two consecu-tive“ infold perforations.8.4 In preparing test specimens for the folded perforation,cut the specimen without u

17、nfolding the perforation.8.5 On the folded or horizontal perforations, select ten testspecimens or enough to represent 50 % of the width from a fullperforation from each of the duplicate samples.8.6 For vertical perforations, select ten test specimens orenough to represent 50 % of the length from ea

18、ch of theduplicate samples.8.6.1 The 50 % provision is intended to address perforationsthat are shorter than 10 in. In the case of short perforations, testno less than five specimens, using additional samples ifnecessary.8.7 When cutting the test specimens, make certain that theedges are cut clean a

19、nd parallel. Make certain that theperforations are perpendicular to the edge of the specimen.Avoid abnormalities, watermarks, creases, and wrinkles. Cuttest specimens one at a time.8.8 Test Method D 828 specifies specimen length. Thelength may be modified to adapt to the size of the specimenavailabl

20、e. There must be sufficient length to allow the testspecimen to be manipulated as it is placed in the jaws. Thelength is not important since the failure will occur at theperforation.8.9 When cutting specimens, avoid non-uniform areas de-signed into the perforation. These may appear as unusuallylarge

21、 uncut areas intended to protect areas sensitive to break-age.8.10 The tensile breaking strength of a 1-in. specimen willdepend upon the number of ties (uncut areas) left unruptured.The variation from specimen to specimen in the number of tieswill be one tie. Thus, if the perforation cut were to hav

22、e ten tiesper inch, some specimens would have ten ties, others nine.Thus, the variation alone would account for a specimen tospecimen tensile variation of approximately 10 %. This varia-tion increases as the ties per inch of a perforation cut decreases.If perforation cuts under eight per inch are to

23、 be tested, cut thespecimen so that equal numbers of the n per inch and ( n-1) perinch are present in the sample.9. Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Prepare the apparatus following instructions given inTest Method D 828.10. Conditioning10.1 Condition and test the test specimens at the conditionsspecified

24、 in Practice D 685.11. Procedure11.1 Avoid touching the perforation. Tightly clamp one endof the test piece in the upper jaw after placing it loosely in thelower jaw and checking its alignment. Then tightly clamp thelower end of the piece and apply the load.11.2 When testing the folded perforation,

25、allow the speci-men to straighten out just once prior to clamping in the jaw andtesting.11.3 Adjust the tester so that the average time for testing aperforated specimen will be within 10 6 5 s. Determine timeto break by testing two or three extra specimens.11.4 Reject readings from individual specim

26、ens if it isapparent that the sample is skewed. Reject readings fromindividual specimens if the specimen does not “snap openbreaking.11.5 Record the result of each individual breaking load tothe nearest three significant figures.11.6 Compute the average breaking strength of the speci-mens of each pe

27、rforation.12. Report12.1 Report the following information:12.1.1 The breaking strength of the individual specimen, theaverage for each sample, and the average of the duplicates,12.1.2 The position from which the samples were obtained,that is, at the fold, or internal vertical or horizontal, and12.1.

28、3 The test method and type of testing machine used.13. Precision and Bias13.1 The precision and bias for this test method for mea-suring tensile breaking strength of perforations in one partcontinuous form paper are essentially as specified in TestMethod D 828.13.2 The variability of results may act

29、ually be greater thanthat implied by 13.1, as variations in perforations caused byperforating wheels, knives, and other perforation productionmachinery, as well as varing numbers of unruptured ties in thetest specimen all increase variability in measured data.14.
