ASTM F2573-2006 Standard Specification for Low Velocity Resilient Material Projectile《低速回弹性材料投掷物的标准规范》.pdf

1、Designation: F 2573 06An American National StandardStandard Specification forLow Velocity Resilient Material Projectile1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2573; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the

2、 year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers critical characteristics of lowvelocity resilient material projectiles (herein ref

3、erred to asLVRM projectiles) made of a resilient material, and shall havea diameter no smaller than 20 mm (0.7874 in) and no greaterthan 30 mm (1.18 in.), with a hardness no greater than 75 Shore00 in accordance with Specification D 2240. This specificationhelps define whether a projectile is suitab

4、le for use with a lowvelocity projectile marker (herein referred to as LVP marker asdefined in Specification F 2574). The weight of the LVRMprojectile is not to exceed 4.0 g. Furthermore, this specificationestablishes minimum warning and package labeling to helpensure that the LVRM projectiles are u

5、sed in a safe manner andthat the risk of injury is reduced.1.2 A LVRM projectile is not a paintball as defined inSection 2.1.2 of Specification F 1979.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 This standard does n

6、ot 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 and to determine theapplicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

9、ferred to as a low velocity projectile gun as defined inSpecification F 2574.3.1.2 low velocity resilient material ballany spherical,ovoid, or ellipsoidal object. The term “ball also includes anymultisided object formed by connecting planes into a generallyspherical ovoid, or ellipsoidal shape that

10、is designated orintended to be used as a ball. A “ball” can be a LVRMprojectile.3.1.3 low velocity resilient material projectileobject pro-pelled by means of a discharge mechanism capable of storingand releasing energy under the control of the operator com-prised of a resilient material, and have a

Packaging and Package Marking5.1 General Instructions:5.1.1 Warnings, instructions, and the name and address ofthe manufacturer or distributor shall appear on the exterior ofeach point of sale container in which a manufacturer packagesits LVRM projectiles.5.1.2 The packaging of all L

19、VP markers shall contain acautionary statement. The statement shall be placed promi-nently on the package and set distinctively apart from otherwording or designs.5.1.3 The label design, the use of vignettes, or the proximityof other labeling or lettering shall not obscure or renderinconspicuous any

20、 labeling statement.5.1.4 All labeling statements shall appear on the principaldisplay panel and at minimum be in the English language.5.1.5 Prominence of the statement shall be achieved byplacement within the borders of a rectangle and by use of asuitable contrasting background. The statement shall

21、 be inuppercase bold face letters of a size bearing a reasonablerelationship to the other type on the main panel, but no lessthan 8-point type. The letters in the signal word shall be at least50 % larger than the letters in the other words in the cautionarystatement. The signal word shall be precede

22、d by a safety alertsymbol. It is composed of an equilateral triangle surroundingan exclamation mark. The base of the safety alert symbol shallbe on the same horizontal line as the base of the letters of thesignal word. The height of the safety alert symbol shall equalor exceed the signal word height

23、. The signal word shall be inblack letters on an orange background. The solid triangle of thesafety alert symbol shall be black and the exclamation pointshall be orange. The cautionary statement shall have eitherblack lettering on a white background or white lettering on ablack background. When spec

24、ial circumstances limit the use ofthe warning to two colors, the colors assigned to the signalword background may also be used for the cautionary state-ment letters, provided that they contrast with the backgroundcolor of the product. When special circumstances preclude theuse of safety colors on ba

25、se materials such as wood, cardboard,metal, plastic, etc., the marking used should (when feasible)contrast with the background color of the base material.5.2 Warning InformationThe following warning informa-tion or its equivalent shall appear as defined in 5.1.5.2.1 In accordance with Specification
