Conditioning5.1 Significance and UseThe properties of the materialdescribed in these test methods are affected by the temperatureand moisture content of the material to a greater or lesserextent, depending on the spec
20、ific property.5.2 ConditioningUnless otherwise specified in the indi-vidual test method, condition test specimens as described in5.2.1 or 5.2.2, and in matters of dispute, consider 5.2.1 as thereferee method.5.2.1 Condition the test specimens for 48 h in the StandardLaboratory Atmosphere of 50 6 2 %
21、 relative humidity at atemperature of 23 6 1 C (73.4 6 1.8 F), and conduct the testsunder these conditions.5.2.2 Condition the test specimens for 48 h in the StandardLaboratory Atmosphere of 50 6 2 % relative humidity at atemperature of 23 6 1 C (73.4 6 1.8 F), and conduct the testsimmediately upon
22、removal of the specimens from the condi-tioning room or chamber.6. Thickness6.1 Significance and Use:6.1.1 The importance of space factor in the design ofelectrical equipment makes proper determination of thicknessessential.6.1.2 Some properties, such as dielectric strength and di-electric breakdown
23、, vary with the thickness of the material, andcertain properties, such as thermal conductivity and dielectricconstant, cannot be determined without a knowledge of thick-ness.6.2 Test SpecimensCut specimens prepared from fabricsamples 1 in. (25 mm) wide across the entire width of thefabric, while spe
24、cimens prepared from tape and strip samplesshall be the width of the sample and 36 in. (910 mm) long.Where the specimen is 36 in. or longer (full-width fabric 36 in.or more in width, or where the length of a strip is 36 in. orlonger), only one specimen will be required unless otherwisespecified. Whe
25、re the specimen is less than 36 in. (full-widthfabric less than 36 in. wide, or strips less than 36 in. long), asmany specimens as are needed to obtain the equivalent 36 in.linear measure will be required.6.3 ConditioningIt is not necessary to condition the speci-mens for this test. Conduct tests at
26、 the Standard LaboratoryTemperature of 23 6 1 C (73.4 6 1.8 F).6.4 ProcedureMake ten measurements, equally spacedalong 36 in. (910 mm) of the specimen or specimens inaccordance with Method C of Test Methods D374 modified asfollows:6.4.1 Allow the presser foot to remain on the test specimenfor 2 s, a
27、t the end of which read the dial gage.6.4.2 Use a presser foot 0.250 in. (6.35 mm) in diameter,and an anvil surface upon which the specimen rests at least 2in. (51 mm) in diameter. The force exerted on the specimenshall be 3 ozf (85 g).6.4.3 Method C is not considered interchangeable withMethod A.6.
28、5 ReportReport the average, maximum, and minimumthickness to the nearest 0.0001 in. (0.003 mm).7. Breaking Strength7.1 Significance and UseThe breaking strength of finishedfabric or tape is of importance as a measure of the tension itwill withstand without failure while being applied in service.7.2
29、ApparatusUse a power-driven tensile testing machinemeeting the requirements specified for Tensile Properties inTest Methods D202, except that the means for determiningelongation and for recording applied load and elongation arenot required. The machine shall be equipped with specimen-gripping device
30、s as described in 7.2.1 or 7.2.2.7.2.1 Provide two flat-jawed clamps, in which case crocuscloth will be required for holding specimens between the jaws,or7.2.2 Provide two gripping devices of the drum type asdescribed in Fig. 1, in which case pins as indicated will berequired for securing specimens
31、on the cylinders.7.3 Test SpecimensThe test specimen shall be of sufficientlength to provide positive gripping in the jaws with a separa-tion of approximately 6 in. (150 mm). In the case of theflat-jawed clamps, this will require a minimum specimenlength of 8 in. (200 mm) and a desirable length of 1
32、0 in. (250mm). Where drum-type gripping devices are used, a specimenno less than 20 in. (500 mm) long will be required. Prepare thespecimens from each sample as follows:D1458 1327.3.1 FabricsCut five specimens, 1 in. (25.4 mm) wide(Note 1), with sides parallel to the warp threads, and cut fivespecim
33、ens of similar width with sides perpendicular to thewarp threads (Note 2).NOTE 1Where specimens 1 in. (25.4 mm) in width have ultimatebreaking loads exceeding the capacity of the machine, it is permissible toreduce the width of the specimen to not less than 0.5 in. (13 mm).NOTE 2Frequently the fill
34、threads of glass fabrics used to manufacturesilicone rubber-coated glass fabrics do not run in a straight line and are notperpendicular to the warp threads. Breaking strength from specimens cutperpendicular to the warp threads has the potential, therefore, to be highlyvariable.7.3.2 Tapes and Strips
35、Cut five specimens, 1 in. (25.4 mm)wide (see Note 2), from each sample. Where tapes or strips aremanufactured in widths less than 1 in. (25.4 mm), use thespecimen width as manufactured.7.4 ConditioningIt is not necessary to condition speci-mens for this test. Conduct tests at the Standard Laboratory
36、Temperature of 23 6 1 C (73.4 6 1.8 F).7.5 Procedure:7.5.1 Clamp the ends of the specimen in the jaws betweentwo pieces of crocus cloth, the abrasive side of the cloth facingthe metal jaws. Carefully align the specimen so that thebreaking force is parallel to the length of the specimen betweenthe ja
37、ws. Adjust the clearance between jaws to 6 in. (150 mm).7.5.2 Alternatively, loop the specimen around a binding pinof suitable diameter so that the specimen fits neither too tightlynor too loosely in the hole provided. Insert the loopedspecimen and pin in the hole provided in the drum-typegripping d
38、evice. Carefully align the specimen so that thebreaking force will be parallel to the length of the specimen.Adjust the clearance between jaws to 6 in. (150 mm).7.5.3 Adjust the speed of the machine in accordance withthe requirements for Tensile Properties in Test Methods D202.7.5.4 Disregard values
39、 for breaks in or at the jaws. In thesecases, continue tests so that there are five reportable breakingstrength values per sample.7.6 Report:7.6.1 Report the average, maximum, and minimum break-ing strength in pounds per inch of width (or kilograms permillimetre of width), together with the width an
40、d nominalthickness.7.6.2 In the case of fabrics, report the breaking strength inthe warp and fill directions separately.7.7 Precision and Bias:7.7.1 The precision (repeatability within a single laboratory)of this test method has been demonstrated to be approximately17 %, expressed as a coefficient o
41、f variation of a series ofreplicate measurements on different specimens of the samesample.7.7.2 This test method has no bias because the value forbreaking strength is determined solely in terms of this testmethod itself.8. Breaking Strength After Creasing8.1 Significance and UseCreasing of silicone
42、rubber-coated glass fabric is accompanied by breaking of some of theglass fibers at the crease and a consequent reduction inbreaking strength. The extent of this damage is related to thethickness and weave of the glass fabric and the nature andthickness of the silicone rubber coating. The creasing s
43、imulatesto a degree the pinching action resulting from several succes-sive layers of tape moving relative to one another while inconfined position, such as in cables.8.2 Apparatus:8.2.1 Use a metal weight adjustable between 2.25 and 4.50lbf (10 and 20 N). Mount it suitably through guides over ametal
44、 horizontal plane to enable the weight to be lowered at auniform speed perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Thebottom of the weight shall be parallel to the top surface of thehorizontal plane at all times. The creasing surface of the weightis a rectangle of such dimensions that the side which ispe
45、rpendicular to the crease made on the specimen is 1.5 in. (40mm). Suitable apparatus is shown in Fig. 2.8.2.2 Provide suitable means for lowering the weight at auniform rate of 12 in. (300 mm)/min and of raising the weightat the end of a 2-s dwell. Accomplish this by one of thefollowing: (a) utilizi
46、ng the breaking strength machine, de-scribed in 7.2, in combination with a system of pulleys; (b)byusing a motor fitted with reducing gears and a cam, or (c)byother devices that accomplish the purpose.8.3 Test SpecimensPrepare ten specimens as described in7.3 except that specimens shall be taken fro
47、m samples of tapeor rolls of fabric only. In the case of fabric, cut the specimensin the warp direction only.8.4 Conditioning:FIG. 1 Drum-Type Gripping DevicesD1458 1338.4.1 It is usually not necessary to condition specimens forthis test. When specimens are not especially conditioned, testthem at th
48、e Standard Laboratory Temperature of 23 6 1C(73.4 6 1.8 F).8.4.2 Where it is desired to obtain the greatest degree ofreproducibility, condition specimens in accordance with 5.2.8.5 Procedure:8.5.1 Adjust the weight so that the specimens are creased bya load of 4.5 lbf (20 N)/in. of width.8.5.2 Fold
49、the specimen without creasing, and insert thelooped end under the weight so that the crease will be formedunder the center of the weight. Lower the weight at a uniformrate of 12 in. (300 mm)/min to crease the specimen.8.5.3 Allow the creased specimen to support the weight fora period of 2 s, at the end of which period lift the weight fromthe specimen.8.5.4 Determine the breaking strength of the creased speci-men in accordance with 7.5.8.6 ReportReport the following information:8.6.1 Average, maximum, and minimum breaking strengthsafter creasing, i
