Scope1.1 This test method determines and standardizes an unex-tended and extended capacity for backpacks and related bags.Related

3、 bags include lumbar packs, soft rucksacks, internal andexternal frame packs, duffel bags, and travel packs.1.2 This test method is designed to provide a meanswhereby manufacturers and consumers may have a consistentmeans to compare pack volumes.1.3 This test method does not take into consideration

Summary of Test Method3.1 Determining Backpack CapacityAll compartments(including main pack body,

15、 top pocket, exterior pockets) arefilled with 20-mm plastic balls to their extended capacity. Ballsare removed to bring the pack down to its unextended capacity.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F08 on SportsEquipment and Facilities and is the direct responsibility of Sub

16、committee F08.22 onCamping Softgoods.Current edition approved Oct. 1, 2007. Published November 2007. Originallyapproved in 2001. Last previous edition approved in 2001 as F 2153 01.1Copyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.The

17、removed balls are temporarily stored. The rest of the packis emptied and the capacity measured in the graduated cylinderas the unextended capacity. The balls removed in the first stepare then added to the cylinder to measure the extendedcapacity.4. Significance and Use4.1 Many consumers use the capa

18、city measurement as a keyspecification to determine the backpack size suitable for theirrequirements.5. Apparatus5.1 Spheres (see Fig. 1)15 to 20-mm hollow polypropy-lene, polyethylene, or other functionally incompressible plas-tic, measurement units with net density between 6 and 14lb/1000 in3. (A

19、useful quantity is 19 000 20-mm balls or 19cases of 1000 = 7500 in.3(approximate).)5.2 Cylinder (see Fig. 2)A vertical walled flat-bottomedcylinder made of rigid material with a diameter between 14 and18 in.5.3 Measurement ToolA piston that will apply a force of0.01 psi on the balls and be used to m

20、easure the height of theballs in the cylinder.6. Calibration and Standardization6.1 Purchase or create a rigid cylinder that conforms to therequirements of 5.2.6.2 Place the cylinder on a flat surface and fill with 25 L ofwater. The most accurate method is to tare a scale with thecylinder on it. The

21、n fill the cylinder with 25 kg of water.Alternatively, measurement of the inside diameter of thecylinder may be used with the formula for the volume of acylinder. However, the precision of the diameter measurementmust be 1 % or better.6.3 Mark the water height on the cylinder.6.4 Remove the water.6.

22、5 Build the Tamper plunger piston.6.6 Cut a disk out of flat34-in. plywood with a diameter thatwill just clear the inner diameter of the coupler and the end cap.6.7 Create a measurement tool that combined with the diskwill place a load of 0.01 psi on the balls, and measure theheight of the balls.NOT

23、E 1For an 18-in. diameter, the load is 2.55 lb.6.8 Calibrate the measurement tool to measure in litresbased on the height of the water in 6.3, and the “zero” height.6.9 The units on the scale need to be no finer than litres or50 in.3.7. Procedure7.1 Determine capacity as follows:7.1.1 Remove all han

24、gtags and packaging.7.1.2 Note the backpack manufacturer, model, size, weight,technician, and date.7.1.3 Loosen all straps to eliminate any constrictions so thepack may achieve its largest capacity.7.1.4 Fill the main compartment with the spheres, makingsure the spheres are occupying all the corners

25、. Tamp the filledpack to fill all voids. Continue filling and tamping until themain compartment is full in accordance with the definition forextended capacity (2.1.4).7.1.5 Continue to fill all enclosed compartments to theirmaximum capacity, making sure the compartments are filledand closed.7.1.6 Ta

26、mp and massage the pockets to remove areas notfilled with balls, and continue until full.7.1.7 Remove and store the balls that will reduce the packfrom its extended capacity to its unextended capacity.7.1.8 Continue to remove all the balls from the pack, andplace them in the cylinder.7.1.9 Using the

27、 measurement tool calculate the volume asthe unextended capacity.7.1.10 Add the stored balls from 7.1.7 to calculate theextended capacity.7.1.11 Report results to the nearest litre or 50 in.3.8.
