2、on. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of fatigue oftire cords in rubber due to compression or extension, or both,using a disc
3、 fatigue tester. The fatigue is measured as a loss instrength.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combining
4、values from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices to determine

Summary of Test Method4.1 Disc fatigue is a measure of the strength loss of a tirecord, which is subjected to repeated stresses. The stresses areaccomplished by s
8、ubjecting the tire cords, after being cured inrubber, to repeated cycles of compression and extension.4.2 The specimen of interest is the cord after it has beenstressed and later removed from the rubber in which it wasimbedded. Cord specimens are placed between strips of rubbercompound and molded in
9、to blocks. The specimen block is thenmounted between two rotating discs that are positioned in sucha way that the specimen will undergo compression or exten-sion, or both, as the discs rotate. After a specified number ofcycles, the cords are removed from the blocks and theirbreaking force measured o
10、n a tensile testing machine. Thefatigue, based on the unfatigued specimen strength, is ex-pressed as a percent strength loss in fatigued specimens.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is not recommended for acceptancetesting of commercial shipments in the absence of reliableinformation on bet
11、ween-laboratory precision.5.1.1 If there are differences of practical significance be-tween the reported test results for two laboratories (or more), acomparative test should be performed to determine if there is astatistical bias between them, using competent statistical assis-tance. As a minimum,
12、test samples should be used that are ashomogeneous as possible, that are drawn from a material fromwhich the disparate test results were obtained, and that arerandomly assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory fortesting. Other fabrics with established test values may be usedfor this purpose. The
13、 test results from the two laboratoriesshould be compared using a statistical test for unpaired data, ata probability level chosen prior to the testing series.

Sampling and Test Specimens8.1 Primary Sampling UnitConsider one roll of dippedtire cord fabri
23、c or a cord package as the primary sampling unit.8.2 Laboratory Sampling UnitAs a laboratory samplingunit, from each primary sampling unit prepare tabby samplesby taking a sample equal to the length of cord between theregular tabby woven at the end of the roll and a special tabbywoven a short distan
24、ce from the end when the roll of fabric ismanufactured. For rolls that do not have a special woven tabby,improvise a tabby by the use of gummed tape or strips ofcemented fabric applied across a section of the cord fabric togive a tabby sample length at least 0.5 m 18 in. long and atleast one tenth o
25、f the roll width wide.8.2.1 Preparation of Tabby SamplesThe handling of thesamples must be done with care. The person obtaining thesample should wear clean gloves. Cut the warp cords of thedipped fabric along the centerline of the special tabby for adistance equal to the width of the sample. If this
26、 distance is lessthan the full width of the fabric, cut the filling yarns of thesample and of the special and regular tabbies in the directionparallel with the warp cords. The resulting section of cordfabric is the tabby sample. Attach the tabby sample to a pieceof cardboard or fiberboard, the lengt
27、h of which shall be equalto at least the length of the cord warp between tabbies. Fold thetabby portions of the sample over each end of the board, andsecure the sample to the board with pressure-sensitive tape orstaples. Use care to avoid contact of tape or staples with theFIG. 1 Schematic Top View
