1、Designation: D2209 00 (Reapproved 2010)Standard Test Method forTensile Strength of Leather1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2209; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A numb
2、er in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () 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 determination of the loadrequi
3、red to rupture a leather test specimen having a12-in.(12.7-mm) width. The load to rupture divided by the originalunstretched cross-sectional area gives the tensile strength. Itmay be used for all types of leather that are smooth and firmenough to permit accurate thickness measurements. This testmeth
4、od does not apply to wet blue.1.2 The values stated 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
5、user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Terminology3.1 For definitions of leather terms used in this standardrefer to Terminology D1517.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The width and thickness are measured in the center ofthe narro
7、w area of the leather specimen. The specimen isclamped in the testing machine as described in 9.3. The forcerequired to rupture the leather at a jaw separation of 10 6 2in./min. is measured. The tensile strength is calculated in psi orin kPa by dividing the force by the area of the original crosssec
8、tion of its narrow section. The percent elongation at ruptureis also measured.5. Significance and Use5.1 The tensile strength test gives a reliable indication of thequality of the leather. Improperly lubricated and partiallydegraded leathers give low values for tensile strength. Theorientation of th
9、e specimen in relation to the backbone and thelocation of the specimen on the hide influence the resultssignificantly. This test method is excellent for development,control, specification acceptance, and service evaluation ofleather. This test method may not apply when the conditions oftest employed
10、 differ widely from those specified in the testmethod.6. Apparatus6.1 Testing Machine, Power-Driven The applied loadshall be indicated on a dial, scale, or chart. The load indicatorshall record or indicate the maximum load at the time ofrupture of the specimen. The machine shall be equipped with ase
11、t of grips for clamping the specimens. The faces of the gripsshould be knurled or otherwise roughened to prevent slippingof the specimen. The gripping surfaces shall be at least 1 by 112in. (25.4 by 38 mm). The grips shall be mounted with thelonger dimension perpendicular to the direction of the app
12、li-cation of the load. The speed of the power-activated grip shallbe uniform speed of 10 6 2 in./ min (254 6 50 mm/min) whenrunning free. The error of the machine up to a load of 50 lbf(222 N) shall not exceed 2 %; at loads of more than 50 lbf theerror shall not exceed 1 %.6.2 Thickness GageA dead-m

One mach
27、ine is a load-cell type and the other apendulum type. The results show very close correlation between labora-tories.NOTE 4The precision data for between skins are not given becausethe results were based on different skins from several production lots. Thevariables in leather for between skins will g
28、ive a higher variation of theresults, but this factor should not affect the precision of the test method.12.
