SAE J323 Revised NOV2009 Page 2 of 5 3.1.3 Cold Box A cold box capable of maintaining a temperature of 34 C 2 C and large enough to permit bending the test specimen while it remains in the box. 3.1.4 Gloves Heavy cloth gloves to prevent heat transfer when handling specimens. 3.2 Procedure Cut 5
10、0 x 200 mm specimens in the machine and across machine direction and condition in the oven at 82 C 2 C for 24 h 0.1 h or as specified. (The dimensions of the specimen may vary for extruded or molded parts.) Remove specimens from the oven and condition at room temperature until reaching equilibrium.
11、Place specimens, gloves, and mandrel with stand in the cold box at 34 C 2 C for 4 h 0.1 h or as specified. Put on gloves and grasp each end of the sample and bend, around the mandrel in approximately 0.5 s with a uniform motion. Remove specimens from cold box and examine visually for evidence of cra

(See Figure 1.) NOTE: Both H and W may be varied as long as HW = 10.8 J and H is not less than 3.048 mm. Dimension r
13、 of projectile must be 23.8 mm and is not variable.

Place a 75 x 75 x 19 mm thick urethane or la
15、tex foam pad in the center of the wood base and attach the aged specimen to the base by stapling 6 mm from the edge of the specimen as indicated in Figure 2 (staples should be 8 mm minimum length). Place the composite in the cold chamber at 29 C 2 C for a minimum of 12 h (or as specified by the cont
16、ractual parties). While still at 29 C 2 C, the center of the test material shall be impacted with a force of 10.8 J energy criteria or as otherwise agreed upon by the contractual parties. The height of the drop and the mass of the impactor shall be such that it meets the 10.8 J energy criteria or as
17、 otherwise agreed upon by the contractual parties. Remove the composite from the cold box and examine the flexible plastic material for cracks. FIGURE 2 - SPECIMEN AND SPECIMEN ON BASE 1Unless otherwise specified, the foam base shall be either a urethane or latex foam with the following load deflect
18、ion characteristics. If using urethane the base material shall have the following load deflection characteristics when tested for CFD (Compression Force Deflection) per ASTM D 3574: the pressure on the specimen after compressing it 25% of its original thickness at room temperature and holding it the
19、re for one minute shall be 3.0 to 4.1 kPa. The foam shall also meet the following cold temperature requirement: After conditioning the specimen for 12 h at 29 C immediately compress it with a pressure of 2.59 + 0.07 kPa and hold it for a minute. The compressed height of the specimen shall be 82 to 9
20、2% of the original specimen thickness. If using latex the base material shall have the following load deflection characteristics when tested for CFD (Compression Force Deflection) per ASTM D 3574: the pressure on the specimen after compressing it 25% of its original thickness at room temperature and
21、 holding it there for one minute shall be 2.5 to 3.1 kPa. The foam shall also meet the following cold temperature requirement: After conditioning the specimen for 12 h at 29 C immediately compress it with a pressure of 2.59 + 0.07 kPa and hold it for a minute. The compressed height of the specimen s
22、hall be 73 to 83% of the original specimen thickness. NOTE: The wood and urethane foam base described previously was established primarily for vinyl-coated fabrics. Other flexible plastic materials may require modifications in the base depending on the flexibility of the material to be tested. SAE J
