1、Designation: F1752 96 (Reapproved 2014) An American National StandardStandard Test Method forArchery Bow ComponentCord Material1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1752; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revisi
2、on, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method establishes the classification and test-ing of cord as a component material used in t
3、he fashioning ofbowstrings.1.2 This test method is not intended to provide informationbeyond any evaluation of the cord material that would deter-mine its fitness for use other than in the fabrication ofcompleted bowstrings.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if
4、any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Significance and Use4.1 This test
11、 method is intended to provide the user of cordmaterials for bowstrings the basic information for evaluationand procurement.4.2 This test method is not meant to be all inclusive sincespecial circumstances may occur that will dictate the use ofnonconforming procedures for evaluation. Special circum-s
12、tances and the requirements they establish cannot be antici-pated totally and, therefore, must be considered on an indi-vidual basis.5.

24、.5.5.2 Elongation tests using capstan clamps are measured at80 % of test specimen average breaking load using 100-mmindex marks arbitrarily marked along the free gage length dueto possible stretching of the test specimen length around thesurface of the capstans.
