11、dified frequency modulation recording at 7 958 ftprad, 3,8 tpmm (96 tpi), on both sides - Part 1 : Dimensional, physical and magnetic characteristics 0 introduction IS0 8378 specifies the characteristics of 130 mm (5.25 in) flexible disk cartridges recorded at 7 958 ftprad, 3.8 tpmm (96 tpi), using
12、modified frequency modulation (MFM) record- ing on 80 tracks on each side. IS0 837812 and IS0 837813 each specify the quality of record- ed signals, the track layout, and a track format to be used on 130 mm (5.25 in) flexible disk cartridges, intended for data interchange between data processing sys
13、tems. IS0 8378/l and IS0 8378/2, together with the labelling scheme specified in IS0 7665, provide for full data interchange between data processing systems. IS0 837811 and IS0 8378/3, together with the labelling scheme specified in IS0 9293, provide for full data interchange between data processing
14、 systems. 1 Scope and field of application This part of IS0 8378 specifies the dimensional, physical and magnetic characteristics of the cartridge so as to provide physical interchangeability between data processing systems. NOTE - Numeric values in the SI and/or Imperial measurement system in this
15、part of IS0 8378 may have been rounded off and therefore are consistent with, but not exactly equal to, each other. Either system may be used, but the two should be neither intermixed nor reconverted. The original design was made using Imperial units and further developments were made using SI units

Figure 2 -
29、Section A-A, is a cross-section along line A-A in figure 1. Figure 3 - Protective envelope with cartridge, shows a protective envelope with cartridge, side 1 up. 5.2 Main elements The main elements of this flexible disk cartridge are - the recording disk; - the liner; - the jacket. The cartridge is
30、stored in an envelope. 5.3 Description The jacket is of a square form. It includes a central window, an index window and a head window in both sides. The liner is fixed to the inside of the jacket. It comprises two layers of material between which the disk is held. The liner has the same openings as
31、 the jacket. The disk has only a central and an index window. 5.4 Optional features The interchange characteristics of the jacket allow for varia- tions of its construction as follows : a) the jacket may include flaps (for example three flaps as shown in the diagram, or more); b) the jacket may incl
32、ude notches along the reference edge; c) the centre of the disk may be reinforced by hub support rings (see annex D). 6 General requirements 6.1 Environment and transportation 6.1 .I Testing environment Tests and measurements made on the cartridge to check the requirements of IS0 8378 shall be carri
33、ed out under the follow- ing conditions : - temperature : 23 f 2 OC (73 IL 4 OFI; - relative humidity : 40 to 60 %; - conditioning before testing : 24 h minimum. The temperature and the relative humidity shall be measured in the air immediately surrounding the cartridge. The stray magnetic field at
34、any point on the disk surface, in- cluding that resulting from the concentrating effect of the recording head, shall not exceed 4 000 A/m (50 Oe). 6.1.2 Operating environment Cartridges used for data interchange shall be operated under the following conditions : - temperature : 10 to 51,5 OC (50 to
35、125 OF); 2 IS0 8378/l-1986 (E) - relative humidity : 20 to 80 %; - wet-bulb temperature : less than 29 OC (84 OF). The temperature and the relative humidity shall be measured in the air immediately surrounding the cartridge. It is rec- ommended that the rate of change of the temperature should not e
36、xceed 20 OC (36 OFI per hour. For reliable interchange, it is recommended that the temperature and relative humidity conditions when reading are not at the opposite extremes to the conditions when writing. There shall be no deposit of moisture on or in the cartridge. The stray magnetic field at any
37、point on the disk surface, in- cluding that resulting from the concentrating effect of the recording head, shall not exceed 4 000 A/m (50 Oe). 6.1.3 Storage environment During storage the cartridges shall be kept under the following conditions : - temperature : 4 to 51,5 OC (40 to 125 OFI; - relativ
38、e humidity : 8 to 80 %. Each cartridge shall be in an envelope and in an upright pos- ition. There shall be no deposit of moisture on or in the cartridge. The ambient stray magnetic field at any point on the disk sur- face shall not exceed 4 000 A/m (50 Oe). NOTE - Cartridges which have been stored
39、at temperatures and humidities outside the operating conditions may exhibit degraded per- formance characteristics. Such cartridges should be subjected to a conditioning period of not less than 24 h within the operating environ- ment prior to use. 6.1.4 Transportation Responsibility for ensuring tha
40、t adequate precautions are taken during transportation shall be with the sender. During transpor- tation the cartridge shall be in its envelope and in a protective package. The latter shall be free from dust or extraneous mat- ter. It shall have a clean interior and a construction to minimize ingres
41、s of dust and moisture. It is recommended that a suffi- cient space exists between cartridge and outer surface of the final container so that risk of damage due to stray magnetic fields will be negligible. It is recommended that the following conditions are not exceeded : - temperature : -40 to 51,5
42、 OC (-40 to 125 OF); - maximum rate of temperature change : 20 OC (36 OF) per hour; - relative humidity : 8 to 90 %. There should be no deposit of moisture on or in the cartridge. 6.1.5 Handling The cartridge shall stay out of its envelope for the shortest time possible. When handling the cartridge
43、the operator shall not touch the exposed magnetic surfaces of the disk and shall avoid exposing the cartridge to direct sunlight, moisture and dust. 6.2 Materials 6.2.1 Jacket The jacket may be constructed from any suitable material. 6.2.2 Liner The material of the liner shall be able to retain dust
44、 without damage to the disk. 6.2.3 Disk The disk may be constructed from any suitable material (for ex- ample bi-axially oriented polyethylene terephthalate) coated on both sides with a strong and flexible layer of magnetic material (for example y-Fe,Os). 6.2.4 Envelope The envelope may be manufactu
45、red from any suitable material (for example paper). 6.3 Direction of rotation The direction of rotation shall be counterclockwise when look- ing at side 0. 7 Dimensional characteristics The dimensional characteristics listed in the following clauses are indicated in figures 4 to 7.
