Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of thickness offlexible pa

3、ckaging materials using contact micrometers.1.2 The Precision and Bias statement for this test methodwas developed using both handheld and bench top micrometerswith foot sizes ranging from 4.8 to 15.9 mm (316 to58 in.).1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any,

4、associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Apparatus5.1 Mechanical gage, suitable for measuring thickness:5.1.1 The thickness gage may be either a bench or hand-heldmechanical model.5.1.2 The gage should be capable of accurately measuring inincrements of 2.5 m (0.0001 in.).5.1.3 The

10、 foot size and foot pressure should be known andidentified. Because of the compressibility of different materialsit is important when comparing results between differentlaboratories that the size of the foot and pressure be the same.5.1.4 It is recommended that a calibration be performed onthe appar

Sampling6.1 The number of samples tested should be adequate to bepredictive

Caution should be taken wheneliminating samples with defects as this can bias results.6.2 See Practice D 1898 or ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 or Z1.9, orboth, for guidance on sampling plans and practices.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F02 on FlexibleBarrier Materials

15、United States.7. Conditioning7.1 Conditioning of the samples will depend on the materialunder evaluation. If conditioning before testing is appropriate,normal, and desirable, then condition the test specimens at 236 2C (73.4 6 3.6F) and 50 6 5 % relative humidity for notless than 24 h prior to test.

16、7.2 See Practice D 4332 for guidance on conditioning prac-tices.8. Procedure8.1 Review applicable specifications, drawings, or proce-dures. Specify unit of measure to be used and directions relatedto precision requirements (for example, measure to nearest0.0001 in., round up or down to nearest 1 m,

17、to 0.0001 in., andso forth).8.2 Clean the micrometer contact area (foot and anvil).8.3 Verify that the micrometer reads 0.0 m (0.0000 in.)when no specimen is present.8.4 Place sample to be measured between the gage foot andanvil. The foot and anvil must be maintained in a parallel state.The sample m

18、ust be placed such that the measurement locationis parallel to the gage foot and anvil. The sample should lay flatand smooth without wrinkles, creases or folds. Material shouldnot be under tension when measured.8.5 Release foot and allow reading to stabilize.8.6 Read thickness on gauge readout or fa

24、in the same laboratory. Two test results shall bejudged to be not equivalent if they differ by more than the “r”value for that material.10.4 Reproducibility “R” is the interval representing thecritical difference between two test results for the samematerial, obtained by different operators using di
