1、Designation: D 2207 00 (Reapproved 2005)Standard Test Method forBursting Strength of Leather by the Ball Method1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2207; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of
2、 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.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determi
3、nation of the burst-ing strength of leather by the ball method. It may be used to testa large variety of leathers and leather products. It is particularlyapplicable to light- and medium-weight leathers, such as shoeuppers and garments. This test method does not apply to wetblue.1.2 The values stated
4、 in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate saf
5、ety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Test Method4.1 The leather specimen is mounted in the ball burst fixturewhich is attached to a testing machine, as desc
7、ribed in TestMethod D 2209. The machine is operated at a jaw separation of4 6 1 in./min. The maximum load registered is recorded. Thebursting strength in lb/in. of thickness is calculated by dividingthe bursting load by the thickness of the specimen.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is des
8、igned to measure the burstingstrength of leather by measuring the force required to force aspherical ended plunger through a piece of leather. Thebursting load and extension will be generally proportional tothe diameter of the plunger. This test method is suitable fordevelopment, control and service
9、 evaluation of the leather.There is good correlation between bursting strength and tensilestrength. This test method may not apply when the conditionsof the test employed differ widely from those specified in thetest method.6. Apparatus6.1 Testing Machine, as described in Test Method D 2209.NOTE 1Th
10、e machine shall have a cross-head speed of 4 6 1 in./min(1.6 6 0.4 mm/s).6.2 Thickness GageA dead-mass type of thickness gageas described in Test Method D 1813.6.3 Burst Tester,3as shown in Fig. 1. The diameter of theball or plunger shall be14 in. (0.250 in. (6.4 mm).6.4 Parts Required to Modify Bur
11、st Tester, as illustrated inFig. 2, or equivalent.6.5 Die, Knife, or Shears, for cutting the test specimen.6.6 Dial Gage, mounted on the burst tester as shown in Fig.1 to measure the height of the extension of the leatherspecimen.NOTE 2This gage shall be calibrated to read directly to the nearest0.0
12、01 in. (0.025 mm). It shall be equipped with a flat anvil and presserfoot.6.7 Autographic Recorder to record the extension to thenearest 0.1 in. (2.5 mm).1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D31 on Leatherand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D31.07 on Physical Pr
13、operties General. This test method was developed in cooperation with the American LeatherChemists Assn. (Standard Method E 14 1965).Current edition approved April 1, 2005. Published May 2005.

Test Specimen7.1 The test specimen shall be a disk of leather at lea
16、st 1.75in. (44.5 mm) in diameter.7.2 A strip of leather between 1.75 and 6 in. (44.5 and 152mm) wide may be used for a test specimen. Two tests shall berun on each strip.NOTE 3When tests are made on a strip of leather, the clamping areascan be overlapped so that tests can be made with a minimum dist
17、ance of1.25 in. (31.8 mm) between bursts.8. Conditioning8.1 All specimens shall be conditioned in accordance withPractice D 1610. Conditioning other than that prescribed shallbe noted in the results.9. Procedure9.1 Measure the thickness of the specimen to the nearest0.001 in. (0.025 mm) in two place
18、s near its center of testing.NOTE 4If the test specimen is a strip, the centers of all the test areasshall be properly marked, and the thickness at each center shall bedetermined.9.2 Mount the specimen holder in the machine. Place thespecimen in the holder, grain up. Adjust the space between thegrip
19、ping surface in accordance with the thickness of thespecimen, and grip the specimen securely by pulling theplunger handle downward.9.3 Operate the machine at 4 6 1 in./min (1.6 6 0.4 mm/s).9.4 Observe the specimen for total burst. Record the maxi-mum load registered by the machine as the bursting lo
20、ad.NOTE 5Bursting strength, in pounds per inch of thickness, can becalculated by dividing the bursting load by the thickness of the specimenmeasured in inches.9.5 Observe on the gage the extension or stretch of theleather at different loads up to total burst.10. Report10.1 Report the following infor
21、mation:10.1.1 Thickness to the nearest 0.001 in. (0.025 mm),reported for each specimen or averaged and reported as thethickness of the sample,10.1.2 Bursting load to the nearest 1 lbf (4 N), reported foreach specimen or averaged and reported as the bursting load ofthe sample, and10.1.3 Extension of
22、the specimen as measured by thevertical travel of the plunger, reported as the height extensionto the nearest 0.001 in. (0.025 mm) at the bursting point.11. Precision and Bias11.1 The following criteria may be used to judge theacceptability of the results if at least 15 units have been tested:11.1.1

25、rom the official samplingposition should not be considered suspect unless the average ofthe two results differs by more than 5 %.NOTE 6The reproducibility reported in 11.1.2 is based on dataobtained at two laboratories, each with a different type of testing machineand a different operator. One machi
26、ne is a load-cell type and the other apendulum type. The results show very close correlation between labora-tories.NOTE 7The results given in Section 11 are based on tests on 30 sidesof leather and do not apply to findings and cut parts.NOTE 8The precision data for between skins are not given becaus
27、ethe results were based on different skins of several production lots. Thevariables in the leather for between skins will give higher variation of theresults, but this factor should not affect the precision of the test method.12.
