A force is applied to the fabricswatch midway between the supports by means of a bladeattached to a motor driven beam. The maxi
9、mum force neededto push the fabric through the supports is measured as aresistance to bending of the fabric.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is considered satisfactory for qualitycontrol testing.5.2 If there are differences of practical significance betweenreported test results for two la
10、boratories, comparative testsshould be performed to determine if there is a statistical biasbetween them, using competent statistical assistance. As aminimum, use test samples as homogeneous as possible, drawnfrom the material from which the disparate test results wereobtained, and randomly assigned
11、 in equal number to eachlaboratory for testing. The test results from the two laboratoriesshould be compared using a statistical test for unpaired data, ata probability level chosen prior to the testing series. If a bias isfound, either its cause must be found and corrected, or futureresults for the
12、 source material must be adjusted in consider-ation of the known bias.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D13 on Textilesand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D13.60 on Fabric Test Methods,Specific.Current edition approved May 1, 2011.

Sampling and Test S
18、pecimens7.1 Primary Sampling UnitConsider material as put-upfor shipment to be the primary sampling unit, such as rolls,bolts or pieces of fabric, or carton of garments or flat goods, asapplicable. (See Annex A1.)7.2 Laboratory Sampling UnitAs a laboratory samplingunit take from rolls at least one f
19、ull-width piece of fabric thatis1m(1yd)inlength along the selvage (machine direction),after first removinga1m(1yd)length.7.3 Test SpecimensFrom each laboratory sampling unit,take five specimens 100 by 100 6 2.5 mm (4 by 4 6 0.1 in.).Take specimens representing a broad distribution from differ-ent po
20、sitions diagonally across the width of the laboratorysampling unit. Specimens should be staggered in such amanner that no specimens contain the same yarns. With theface of the specimen up, place a small locator mark in thelower right hand corner of the specimen parallel to thewarp/machine direction
21、(MD). (See Annex A2.) The mark willbe used to correctly position the specimen prior to testing sothat the stiffness of four different areas of the specimen can bedetermined. Label specimen to maintain identity.7.3.1 For fabric widths 100 mm (4 in.) or more, take nospecimens closer than 25 mm (1 in)
22、from the selvage edges ofthe laboratory sampling unit.7.3.2 For fabric widths less than 150 mm (4 in.), use theentire width of the laboratory sampling unit for specimens.5The sole source of supply of the apparatus known to the committee at this timeis Thwing-Albert Instrument Co., Philadelphia, PA.

24、re free of folds, creases, orwrinkles.Avoid getting oil, water, grease, etc. on the specimenswhen handling.7.3.4 If the fabric has a pattern, ensure that the specimensare a representative sampling of the pattern.8. Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Place the tester on a flat surface and level according to
25、manufacturers instructions.8.2 Install Penetrator Beam Assembly. Selection of beam isdetermined by thickness and weight of the fabric. Most fabricswill require a 1000 g beam.8.3 Engage the power control and allow 15 min for thecircuitry to stabilize.8.4 Calibrate the instrument by placing the calibr
26、ationweight specified on the upper edge of the blade. The readingwill be a negative number. Make necessary adjustments asdirected in the instruction manual.8.5 Set the width of the slot by moving the plates to thedesired location as directed in the instruction manual. Slotwidth is determined by the
27、fabric to be tested. Most fabrics willrequire a 10 mm (0.40 in.) slot width.8.6 Select Quadruple mode using Mode button on controlpanel.8.7 Maintenance (see Annex A3).9. Conditioning9.1 Bring the test specimens to moisture equilibrium fortesting in the standard atmosphere for testing textiles asdire
28、cted in Practice D1776 or, if applicable, in the specifiedatmosphere in which the testing is to be performed.10. Procedure10.1 Make all the tests in the standard atmosphere fortesting.10.2 Zero the instrument by pressing the zero/force buttonto obtain a zero reading on the force display.10.3 Place s
29、pecimen face-up over the slot on the platform sothat the warp/machine direction mark on the specimen is in thelower left corner and perpendicular to the slot. About13 (30mm, 1.3 in.) of the specimen should be to the right of the slotand23 (65 mm, 2.6 in.) to the left. (See Annex A2, Position 1.)10.4
30、 Handle the test specimens carefully to avoid alteringthe natural state of the material.10.5 Depress the test switch and allow the blade to completeone cycle by pushing the specimen into the slot and returningto the start position. It is not necessary to close the lid of theinstrument during testing
31、.10.6 Record the maximum reading in the warp/machinedirection face up.10.7 Remove the specimen from the slot, keeping face-sideup. Rotate the specimen 90 clockwise so that the warp/machine direction mark is parallel to the slot and the locatormark is positioned in the vertical direction in the lower
32、 leftcorner of the specimen (seeAnnexA2, Position 2).Arrange thespecimen so that about13 of the specimen is to the right of theslot and23 to the left. Re-zero the tester if the digital forcedisplay does not read zero.10.8 Activate the tester and record the maximum force inthe filling/cross direction
33、 face-up.10.9 Remove the specimen from the slot and turn it over sothat the back side is facing up and the warp/machine direction(MD) of the specimen is perpendicular to the slot. The locatormark on the underneath side of the specimen must be on theopposite side from its location in 10.3. (SeeAnnexA
34、2, Position3). This procedure will expose a fresh area of the specimen fortesting.10.10 Activate the tester and record the maximum readingof the warp/machine direction face down.10.11 Remove the specimen from the slot, keeping backside of specimen facing up. Rotate the specimen 90 counter-clockwise
35、so that the warp/machine direction of the specimenis parallel to the slot and the locator mark on the underneathside of the specimen is on the opposite side from its location in10.7.

Precision and Bias13.1 SummaryThe following precision and bias state-ments have been prepared in accordance with Practice D2906
39、.In comparing two single observations (single operator preci-sion) for the materials tested, the difference should not exceedthe values shown in Table 2 in 95 our of 100 cases when bothTABLE 1 Average Stiffness Values, gAFabric #1day #1 day #2operator 1 operator 2 operator 1 operator 2140.4 141.3 14

41、operator usingthe same piece of test equipment and specimens randomlydrawn from the same sample of material. Larger differences arelikely to occur under all other circumstances. The true value ofstiffness can be defined only in terms of a specific test method.Within this limitation, this test method
42、 has no know bias.Paragraphs 13.2-13.4 explains the bias for this summary andfor evaluations made under other conditions.13.2 Interlaboratory Test DataAn interlaboratory test wasrun in 2001, in which randomly-drawn samples of two fabricswere tested in each of two laboratories. Two operators in eachl
43、aboratory each tested ten specimens of each fabric using thistest method. Five of the ten specimens were tested on one dayand five specimens were tested on a second day.Analysis of thedata was conducted using Practice D2904, Practice D2906 andStatistical Analysis Software (SAS). The components of va
44、ri-ance for stiffness expressed as standard deviations were calcu-lated to be the values listed in Table 3. The two fabric typeswere: (1) Woven mid weight and (2) Warp knit with weftinsertion.13.3 PrecisionFor the components of variance reported inTable 3, two averages of observed values should be c
45、onsideredsignificantly different at the 95 % probability level if thedifference equals or exceeds the critical differences listed inTable 2. There were sufficient differences related to the fabrictype and structure to warrant listing the components ofvariance and the critical differences separately.
46、 Consequentlyno multi-material comparisons were made.NOTE 2Since this interlaboratory test included only two materials andtwo laboratories, estimates of between-laboratory precision should beused with special caution. Interlaboratory testing of other fabric types is inprogress.NOTE 3The tabulated va
47、lues of the critical differences should beconsidered to be a general statement, particularly with respect to between-laboratory precision. Before a meaningful statement can be made abouttwo specific laboratories, the amount of statistical bias, if any, betweenthem must be established, with each comp
48、arison being based on recentdata obtained on specimens taken from a lot of material to the type beingevaluated so as to be as nearly homogeneous as possible and thenrandomly assigned in e equal numbers to each of the laboratories.13.4 BiasThe procedure in this test method for measuringstiffness has
49、no bias because the value of this property can bedefined only in terms of a test method.14. Keywords14.1 bending; fabric; penetrator blade; stiffnessANNEXES(Mandatory Information)A1.
