39、lled away from the stem at a steady rate until the safety pin distorts and thus frees the movable arm, or the required minimum force is reached. A.2 Apparatus A.2.1 Constant rate of extension tensile testing machine, conforming to grade0.5 of BS EN10002-2:1992. A.2.2 Holding devices, which are such

40、that an element of each holding device passes freely through the cap and the coil (seeFigure A.1). A.3 Specimens Condition the50 specimens comprising sample A, as described in6.2. NOTE 1Pre-treatment may be omitted if this has been done previously. NOTE 2Sample A may have been subjected to previous

41、tests (seeTable 2). A.4 Procedure Locate a specimen freely in the holding devices, which are clamped in the tensile testing machine jaws (seeFigure A.1), taking care to ensure that the pull will be exerted through the centre line of the cap. Set the machine in motion at a constant rate of jaw separa

42、tion of50mm/min 10mm/min until the required force is reached (seeTable 3) or until the specimen fails, whichever occurs sooner. Record the force, in newtons, at which the point of the safety pin is released from the cap, or the maximum force applied. Record the mode of failure, if any. Repeat the pr

43、ocedure for the remaining specimens. A.5 Expression of results For each specimen, report either: a) the force, in newtons, at which the point was released from the cap and the mode of failure; or b) the maximum force applied. Annex B (normative) Method for determination of point penetration force B.

44、1 Principle The movable arm of a safety pin is pushed into a standard test material and the force required to penetrate the material is measured.

B.2.4 Frame, in which the cardboard material can be clamped all round with a15mm clearance beneath it (seeFigure B.1). B.3 Specimens Condition the50 specimens comprising sample A, as described in6.2. NOTE 1Pre-trea

47、tment may be omitted if this has been done previously. NOTE 2Sample A may have been subjected to previous tests (seeTable 2 andTable 3). Cut the movable arm of each specimen from the stem near the coil, taking care that damage to the point is not incurred. B.4 Procedure B.4.1 Mount the cut movable a

48、rm of a specimen in the holder in the tensile testing machine (seeFigure B.1). B.4.2 Cut a piece of conditioned cardboard of sufficient size to allow all50 specimens in the sample to be tested on the same piece of material (seeB.4.4), and clamp it securely in the frame (seeFigure B.1). Support the f

49、rame at the bottom ofthe tensile testing machine, so that there is a gap of at least15mm below the lower cardboard surface, and the test material is at right angles to the direction of penetration of the specimen. Set thetensile testing machine stop so that the specimencan penetrate the test material to approximately8mm below the lower surface of the cardboard. B.4.3 Set the machine in motion at a constant rate of jaw closure of50mm/min 10mm/min, continuing until the stop position is reached. Record the maximum force app
