2、ar of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.INTRODUCTIONThe test methods presented her
3、ein have been developed and are presented to serve two distinctpurposes. They are divided into two parts.Part A. General Test Methods for Evaluating the Basic Properties of Wood-Base Fiber and ParticlePanel MaterialsPart A is for use in obtaining basic properties suitable for comparison studies with
4、other materials of construction. These refined test methods are applicable for this purpose to allmaterials covered by Definitions D 1554.Part B. Acceptance and Specification Test Methods for HardboardPart B is for specific use inspecifications for procurement and acceptance testing of hardboard. Th
5、ese test methods are generallyemployed for those purposes in the industry. By confining their intended use as indicated, it has beenpossible to achieve adequate precision of results combined with economy and speed in testing, whichare desirable for specification use.The choice between a particular t
6、est method and its alternative should be made with a fullunderstanding of the intended purpose of each, because values obtained from tests may, in some cases,differ. Of the test methods presented in both parts, some have been in generally accepted use for manyyears, some are modifications and refine
7、ments of previously developed test methods, and some aremore recent developments. Where test methods are suitable for more than one of the purposes, theyare delineated in Part A, but not repeated in Part B. It is the intent that reference to the appropriatesection of the test method shall suffice in

15、evaluating certain properties of wood-basedfiber and particle panel materials. These test methods areincluded elsewhere in the Annual Book of ASTM Standards.The pertinent ones are listed in Table 1. A few of the testmethods referenced are for construction where the wood-basematerials often are used.
16、1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The SI equivalents are approximate in manycases. 1 in. = 25.4 mm, 1 lbf = 4.45 N.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user
17、of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Test Specimens5.1 The numb
33、er of specimens to be chosen for test and themethod of their selection depend on the purpose of theparticular tests under consideration, so that no general rule canbe given to cover all instances. It is recommended thatwhenever possible, a sufficient number of tests be made topermit statistical trea
34、tment of the test data (see Note 2). In theevaluation of a panel material, specimens for test should beobtained from a representative number of panels. In propertiesreflecting differences due to the machine direction of the panel,specimens from each panel shall be selected both with the longdimensio
35、n parallel to the long dimension of the panel, and withthe long dimension perpendicular to the long dimension of thepanel.NOTE 2Guidance on statistical sampling is provided in PracticeD 2915.6. Moisture Content and Conditioning Requirements6.1 The physical and mechanical properties of buildingpanels
36、 depend on the moisture content at time of test.6.2 The moisture conditioning selection for each test proce-dure within this standard depends upon the purpose of theparticular tests under consideration. All specimens within eachtest sample shall be conditioned as required to meet the specifictest ob
37、jectives.6.3 The following moisture conditioning regimens are com-monly employed with the test procedures of this standard:6.3.1 Dry “As Received”Specimens to be tested “asreceived” shall be tested without supplemental conditioning toalter the moisture content.6.3.2 Dry “Conditioned”Specimens to be
38、tested air-dryshall be conditioned to a constant weight and moisture contentin a conditioning chamber maintained at a relative humidity of65 6 5 % and a temperature of 68 6 6F (20 6 3C) (See Note3).NOTE 3This conditioning regime represents a common standard forwood and wood-based materials.6.3.3 Wat
39、er SoakedSpecimens to be tested in the soakedcondition shall be submerged in water at 68 6 2F (20 6 1C)for 24-h (see Note 4) before the test and shall be tested within30 minutes upon removal from the water.NOTE 4When it is desired to obtain the effect of complete saturation,the specimens shall be so
40、aked for a longer period.6.3.4 Accelerated AgingAccelerated aging cycles shall becompleted per Section 7 of this standard.6.3.5 OtherOther conditioning methods that are designedto meet the test objectives may be employed provided that theyare clearly described in the test report.6.4 Specimens shall
41、be subjected to the conditioning regi-mens of section 6.3 after they have been cut to the finaldimensional sizes required for the test procedures within thisstandard.6.5 When water soaked conditioning (section 6.3.3), accel-erated aging conditioning (section 6.3.4) or other conditioningmethod is emp
42、loyed to simulate an application moistureexposure:6.5.1 The sample weights and dimensions shall be recordedbefore and after conditioning. Any computed stresses shall bebased upon the pre-conditioned dimensions.6.5.2 A matched set of material shall be tested in the dry(section 6.3.1 or 6.3.2) conditi
43、on to estimate the relativestrength loss due to the moisture cycle. The condition selectedfor the matched set shall be based upon the test objectives.6.6 For all testing within this standard, the moisture condi-tioning method selected and resulting test sample moisturecontents shall be reported.7. A
44、ccelerated Aging7.1 Scope and Significance7.1.1 The accelerated aging test shall be used to obtain ameasure of the inherent ability of a material to withstand severeexposure conditions and maintain its mechanical and physicalproperties. The cycling exposure to which the material shall besubjected is
45、 a simulated condition developed to evaluate how amaterial will stand up under aging conditions. All of the testslisted in this standard may not be required for any specificinvestigation or specification. Static bending (Section 9),nail-holding (Sections 13 to 15) and water absorption andthickness s
46、welling (Section 23) tests are usually sufficient toevaluate the resistance of a wood-base panel material to aging.In some instances it may be desirable to evaluate the effect ofaccelerated aging on some other property. When this is thecase, appropriate specimens shall be prepared and subjected toth
47、e six cycles of accelerated aging before the property isevaluated7.2 Test Specimens7.2.1 The test specimens shall be cut to size for testing asspecified in the pertinent sections of this standard before beingsubjected to the cyclic exposure listed in section 7.3. Whentests involving fasteners are ma
48、de, the fasteners shall be drivenprior to the aging exposure. Corrosion-resistant fasteners shallbe used because extractives or other materials present willcorrode ordinary steel fasteners.7.3 Accelerated Aging Cycles7.3.1 Subject each specimen to six complete cycles ofaccelerated aging. If the cycl
49、e is to be broken, as for aweekend, the break shall be made during the freezing portionof the cycle. Each cycle shall consist of the following:7.3.2 Immersion in water at 120 6 3F (49 6 2C) for 1 h,7.3.3 Exposure to steam and water vapor at 200 6 5F (936 3C) for 3 h,7.3.4 Freezing at 10 6 5F (-12 6 3C) for 20 h,7.3.5 Heating at 210 6 3F (99 6 2C) in dry air for 3 h,7.3.6 Exposure again to steam and water vapor at 200 6 5F(93 6 3C) for 3 h, and7.3.7 Heating in dry air at 210 6 3F (99 6 2C) for 18 h.7.3.8 After the completion of the six-cycle accelerated
