17、e treadof the tire to produce a rupture of the carcass or a bottom-out condition.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method establishes a standard procedure of test and provides data that can be related to tire strength, but does notmeasure tire performance or establish specification or tolerances.

18、6. Apparatus6.1 Testing Machine that incorporates a cylindrical plunger, which can be forced, at 50.8 6 1.58 mm/min (2.0 60.0625 in.min) radially into a tread of a tire, while the force and plunger motion are indicated or recorded.6.1.1 The force-indicating device shall have an accuracy of 61 % of t

19、he indicated force and shall reflect an instantaneouschange in force from zero to full scale in no more than 3.0 s.6.1.2 Relative plunger travel distance shall be indicated to an accuracy of 61 % of the distance from the original undeformedtire tread surface, taking into account any motion or deflec

20、tion of the force-measuring mechanism or supporting devices.6.2 Means for Calibration of the Testing Machine, for plunger force, plunger travel, and rate of plunger travel is necessary.6.3 Calibrating Weights or Other Calibrating Devices, conforming to Practices E4, are required for verification of

21、calibration.6.4 Means for Mounting a Tire on a Test Rim, and mounting the test assembly on the testing machine is necessary.6.5 Test Rims, with dimensions as shown in the current issue of Tire and Rim Association Year Books,4 ETRTO,5 JATMA,6 oras listed in a publication by the tire manufacturer, are

22、 necessary.6.6 Plunger (Circular Cylinder), having a diameter as shown in Table 1 for the tire being tested, and having the working endin the shape of a hemisphere, hardened to a minimum Rockwell hardness 35 HRC, and polished to a 16-in. (0.50-m)0.50-m(16-in.) finish or better with no visible tool m

23、arks, is required. It must be long enough to penetrate from the undeformed tire treadsurface to the bottom-out condition.7. Sampling7.1 A sample is one or more tires taken from a lot as directed in any applicable specification, or as taken from a shipping unit,or as agreed upon between the purchaser

24、 and the seller.7.2 Record the manufacturers identification, brand name, tire identification number, tire outside diameter, rim diameter, size,load range, fabric type, and type of tire. Visually inspect the tire completely for excessive mold lubricant and for any obvious faultsor conditions that cou

25、ld affect the test.8. Conditioning8.1 The ambient temperature for tire conditioning and in the test area shall be any known temperature between 18 and 40C(65 and 105F).8.2 The test tire, after being mounted on a test rim and inflated to the applicable test pressure, shall remain at the ambienttemper

26、ature of the test room for at least 3 h prior to testing.9. Procedure9.1 Mount the tire on a test rim and inflate the tire with air to the pressure as specified in Table 2 when testing passenger cartires or corresponding to the maximum load or maximum dual load where there is both a single and dual

27、load marked on the tirefor all other type tires. The inflation pressure tolerance shall be 63.5 kPa (0.5 psi). Condition the mounted tire in accordance with8.1 and 8.2.9.1.1 Table 2 provides the inflation pressure to use when testing various passenger car tire sizes. There are three common stylesfor

32、 the tire shall be used for all measurements on tube-type tires and may be used intubeless-type tires.9.3 Select a plunger of diameter specified in Table 1 and properly secure the plunger to the testing machine.9.4 Clean the plunger prior to each test using a clean soft cloth and a water soluble rub

33、ber lubricant or water miscible solvent.Wipe completely dry and clean off any residue or foreign matter. Clean the tire prior to each test using a clean, dry, soft cloth.9.5 Mount the tire-wheel assembly on the testing machine. Adjust the test inflation pressure, if necessary, and adjust the lateral

34、position of the plunger or wheel so that the plunger contacts the tire at the test point (tread rib nearest tire center) with a force justsufficient to cause a slight drag between the tire and plunger.Avoid centering the plunger on a deep groove in the tread rib or block.9.6 Force the tire onto the

35、plunger or the plunger perpendicularly into the tire tread (depending upon the relative motionemployed by the test apparatus) at a rate of 50.8 mm/min (2 in.min), while recording plunger force and travel.9.7 Increase tire deformation by the plunger until the tire either is completely penetrated (as

36、would be indicated by a rupture,loss of inflation pressure) or bottom-out occurs. Record the maximum plunger force and plunger travel into the tire at five testpoints or at three test points for tires of 12-in.12 rim diameter code or less, equally spaced around the tire circumference inaccordance wi

37、th 9.1 9.6. Use these values in Section 10 to calculate energy. If a bottom-out condition is reached, stop the testbefore any damage to the tire, rim, or plunger pin can occur, and record the plunger force and travel.
