17、ns, procedures, and equipment by which inflatablerestraint fabrics are conditioned and aged. It is intended to beused as a guideline in establishing a written material specifi-cation. The specification or agreement of the purchaser and thesupplier may deviate from the practices described herein when

18、(based on experience) considerations of fabric properties,material handling equipment, or inflatable restraint systemdesign dictate otherwise.6. Apparatus6.1 Conditioning Room or Chambers:6.1.1 Room or chamber suitable for maintaining the stan-dard atmosphere for testing textiles, with equipment for

19、 record-ing the temperature and humidity of the room.6.1.2 For heat aging, a ventilated drying oven with atemperature range from 100 to 130 C, 62 C (212 to 266 F,65 F) for 500 h, in accordance with Specification E145.6.1.3 For humidity aging, a chamber suitable for maintain-ing a fixed relative humi

20、dity of 60 to 98 %, within a toleranceof 65 %, and a fixed temperature between 30 to 100 C 62C(86 to 212 F, 65 F) for at least 500 h.6.1.4 For ozone aging, a chamber suitable for maintainingthe ozone concentration at 100 6 10 parts per hundred million(pphm), and suitable for maintaining a temperatur

22、and the data collection system shall be constructedand arranged in accordance with MIL-STD-810E, Method507.3, Section II.6.2 For inflatable restraints, all test equipment used inaccordance with the procedures referenced in this practice shallbe certified for calibration annually by an independent ag

23、encyor equipment manufacturer whose results are traceable toNational Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) or othernational standards laboratory. The test parameters of theequipment shall be tested within the operating ranges coveredin the material specification or equivalent document.7. Sampli

24、ng7.1 Rolls of fabric are sampled to yield test specimens inaccordance with the sampling plan agreed upon by purchaserand supplier. The number of test specimens and their configu-ration shall conform to the requirements of the ASTM testmethods associated with subsequent physical property testing.8.

25、Procedure8.1 Condition fabric specimens in the standard atmospherefor testing textiles for 24 h and configure them in accordancewith the test method that is to follow each accelerated agingprocedure, or in accordance with alternate procedures estab-lished by agreement of purchaser and supplier and a

26、cknowl-edged in the test report.8.2 Expose the specimens in accordance with the proce-dures given in 8.4 8.8, or in accordance with alternateprocedures established by agreement between the purchaserand the supplier and acknowledged in the report.8.2.1 If during placement of the specimens the environ

27、men-tal conditions within the chamber are no longer within pre-scribed limits, begin the timing of the aging process only whenthe chamber is once again stabilized within prescribed limits.8.2.2 Ensure that the specimens are placed in the chamber ina configuration that permits free flow of air around

28、 them duringthe aging process.8.2.3 The chamber temperature shall be controlled to within62C (65F) and the relative humidity shall be controlled towithin 65 % RH.8.3 Interruptions to an accelerated aging process may resultin exposure of the test specimen(s) to environmental conditionsthat are more e

29、xtreme than specified and that trend in adirection away from ambient (an overtest interruption), orconditions that are less extreme than specified and that trend ina direction toward ambient (an undertest interruption).8.3.1 If an undertest interruption occurs, keep the chamberclosed in an effort to

30、 maintain tolerances. As long as thetolerances are maintained, resume testing by reestablishing theprescribed conditions and continue from the point of theinterruption. If an unscheduled interruption occurs that causesthe environmental conditions to exceed the allowable toler-ances in the direction

31、of standard ambient conditions, reinitiatethe test at the end of the last successfully completed cycle.Anytest specimen subject to an undertest interruption that failssubsequent physical property testing shall be treated as afailure and the test of the specimen(s) shall be considered valid.8.3.2 If

32、an overtest interruption occurs, terminate the accel-erated aging process and reinitiate the process with new testspecimens. Physical property tests of specimens subjected toan overtest interruption shall be considered invalid.8.4 Cycle Aging:8.4.1 Prior to conducting each phase of the cycle sequenc
