27、nternational Standards are listed inAnnex ZA (normative).EN ISO 7854:1997 BSI 09-1999 3 Introduction Investigation of dynamic-flex fatigue properties of coated fabrics has for a number of years suffered from poor repeatability (due in part to the unknown but inevitable variability of the material te

28、sted) and worse reproducibility. Nevertheless, dynamic-flex performance of coated fabrics has been long and widely used as a measure of the product quality. The methods traditionally used suffered from the common deficiency of testing only a small test piece. The De Mattia test is unsuitable for mat

29、erials that exhibit “set”, such as thermoplastics, and the Schildknecht method has disadvantages when testing the heavier industrial fabrics and also tends to require very high geometric ratios and consequently time-consuming tests to verify results. In addition, the mounting of Schildknecht test pi

30、eces can seriously affect test results and repeatability. Both the De Mattia and Schildknecht methods are also uni-directional, which in some cases is advantageous, but in many cases is not appropriate, e.g. where bi-directional stresses are exerted during use. This revised edition of ISO7854 attemp

31、ts to standardize the mounting difficulties associated with the Schildknecht apparatus (method B) and introduces a bi-directional flex fatigue test that provides a large test piece, enabling post-flexing investigations, such as hydrostatic-head tests, to be conducted. The apparatus is described in I

32、SO8096-3:1988, Rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics for water-resistant clothing Specification Part3: Natural rubber- and synthetic rubber-coated fabrics. The apparatus outlined there in illustrative form (see the note to F.1 in AnnexF of ISO8096-3:1988) has been developed in more detail and is now wi

33、dely available commercially from a number of sources. Flex testing can provide a useful indication of the durability of coated fabrics. However, for most applications, flexing conditions induced by these test methods are dissimilar to the conditions met in practice. In particular, the micro-climate

34、induced around the test piece and the thermal stresses induced in the molecular structure of the coating during flexing are unlikely to be representative of practical situations. It is important therefore that these effects be kept to a minimum and their effect be given due consideration when test r

35、esults are being considered. Consequently, it is important to ensure that the air temperature around the test pieces is kept constant during the test. This can be achieved either by maintaining adequate non-forced, open ventilation around the test pieces or by controlling the air temperature within

36、any closed container in which the test apparatus may be mounted. Three methods are described. Method A (De Mattia) may be found suitable for flex testing coated fabrics which cannot be constrained into the configuration required by method B or where the amount of material available for testing is to

37、o small to permit the other methods to be employed. Method B (Schildknecht) will be found useful for flex testing coated fabrics of relatively lightweight construction or whose practical usage would be in the light to medium range in terms of severity of flexing. Method C (crumple/flex test) has bee

38、n found useful in testing coated fabrics which will be subject to severe usage in terms of their flexing capability under arduous conditions. The method requires a large test piece but this provides certain advantages for selecting test pieces for related testing after flexing, e.g. hydrostatic-head

39、 testing. Some coated fabrics are more susceptible to delamination when flexed in the wet state and attention is drawn to the information given inAnnex A. Because of the differences in the nature of the flexing in the three methods, no true correlation of results between the different methods is pos

40、sible. 1 Scope This International Standard describes three methods of assessing the resistance of coated fabrics to damage by repeated flexing.EN ISO 7854:1997 4 BSI 09-1999 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions

ISO 2286:1986, Rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics Determination of roll characteristics. 3 Method A De Mattia method 3.1 Principle A rectangular strip of coated fabric is folded twice so that its long edges meet formin

44、g a strip measuring125mm 12,5mm. This folded strip is mounted between a pair of flat grips, one of which reciprocates, causing the folded test piece to be bent outwards five times per second. This high-speed folding of the test piece is continued for either a pre-set number of cycles or until damage

45、 to the test piece is apparent. 3.2 Apparatus 3.2.1 Flex-testing machine, as specified in ISO132, with pairs of flat grips. One of the grips of each pair is capable of a reciprocating motion in a vertical plane with a stroke length of mm and a frequency of5,0Hz 0,2Hz. Each pair of grips is positione

46、d so that they are70mm1mm apart when in the open position and13mm 0,5mm apart when in the closed position. 3.3 Preparation of test pieces Select six test pieces each37,5mm 1mm wide 125mm long from the usable width of the roll as defined in ISO2286. Three test pieces shall be selected with their long

47、er dimension in the longitudinal direction of the roll of coated fabric and three test pieces with the longer dimension in the transverse direction of the roll of coated fabric. Test pieces shall be selected from positions evenly spaced across the full width and length of the sample. NOTE 1In the ca

48、se of woven-fabric substrates, as far as possible no two test pieces should contain the same threads of the fabric in the direction to be tested. NOTE 2Together with suitable increases in the width of grips, the test piece size may be increased so as to permit subsequent hydrostatic-head tests to be

49、 conducted. 3.4 Conditioning and testing atmosphere Condition the test pieces in atmosphere A, B or C of ISO2231:1989, and conduct the test in that atmosphere. 3.5 Procedure Fold each test piece twice as illustrated inFigure 1, with the coating to be tested outermost, along lines12,5mm from each of the longer edges and to a width of12,5mm. Mount each folded test piece between a pair of grips whilst they are in the open position so that the test piece is slightly taut and so that the coating on the centre section of th
