1、Designation: D 2210 00 (Reapproved 2004)Standard Test Method forGrain Crack and Extension of Leather by the Mullen Test1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2210; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the
2、 year 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.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the
3、 determination of the resis-tance of leather to grain cracking and for measuring theextension of the leather. It is limited to light leathers such asshoe uppers, garment, gloves, and upholstery. This test methoddoes not apply to wet blue.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety
4、 concerns, if 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.

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 extensionthe amount of stretch of leather over thediaphragm under pressure.3.1.2 grain crackingthe appearance of cracks on thesurface of the leather as the lea
6、ther is extended over adiaphragm under pressure to form a sphere.4. Significance and Use4.1 The test method is designed to measure the forcerequired to crack the grain of leather by steady hydraulicpressure on a diaphragm of definite diameter applied to theflesh side of the specimen to form a sphere
7、. The cracking of thegrain is a result of failure under elongation or stretch. Theelongation or stretch of the leather can be measured at differentloads or at the failure of the grain to determine if the stressleather will withstand under lasting conditions. Cuts, scratches,and other defects will ca
8、use considerable variation in theresults by concentration of the applied force to the weak points.This test method is excellent for manufacturing control, speci-fication acceptance, and service evaluation in the lastingproperty of leather. This test method may not apply when theconditions of the tes
9、t employed differ widely from thosespecified in the test method.5. Apparatus5.1 Testing Machine,3as shown in Fig. 1. The machine shallbe hand- or power-driven. The machine shall hold the speci-men firmly, without slippage, between two annular, plane,unpolished (matte) surfaces that may have fine, sp
10、iral toolmarks not over 0.010 in. (0.25 mm) in depth.5.2 Upper Clamping SurfaceThe upper clamping surface(clamping ring) shall have a circular opening 1.240 6 0.010 in.(31.50 6 0.25 mm) in diameter and shall be connected to theclamping mechanism through a swivel joint to ensure an evenclamping press
11、ure.5.3 Lower Clamping SurfaceThe lower clamping surface(diaphragm plate) shall be 0.219 6 0.003 in. (5.56 6 0.08 mm)thick and have an opening of 1.240 6 0.01 in. (31.50 6 0.52mm) in diameter. The circular edges of the openings that comein contact with the specimen and the rubber diaphragm shall ber
12、ounded to a radius of not over 0.025 in. (0.64 mm) to preventany cutting action. During the test, the circular edges of theopenings in the two clamping plates shall be substantiallyconcentric with no overlapping of any point.5.4 Diaphragm, of rubber, 0.034 6 0.002 in. (0.86 6 0.05mm) thick, clamped
13、under the lower clamping plate so that,before the diaphragm is stretched by pressure underneath it, thecenter of its upper surface is below the plane of the clampingsurface.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D31 on Leatherand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D3
14、1.03 on Footwear. This testmethod was developed in cooperation with the American Leather Chemists Assn.(Standard Method E 58 1965).Current edition approved Sept. 1, 2004. Published September 2004.

This gage shallbe ca
18、librated to read directly to the nearest 0.001 in. (0.03 mm).It shall be equipped with a flat anvil and a presser foot.5.6 Bourdon TubeThe apparatus shall be equipped with aBourdon tube, maximum-reading-type, pressure gage gradu-ated in pounds-force per square inch and accurate throughoutthe entire
19、range of its scale to within a value of 1 % of itsmaximum capacity. The capacity of the gage shall be such thatthe individual readings will be not less than 25 % nor morethan 75 % of the total capacity of the gage.5.7 Pressure ControlThe machine shall be equipped withmeans of applying controlled inc
20、reasing hydraulic pressure tothe underside of the diaphragm until the specimen cracks. Thispressure shall be generated by a piston forcing a liquor (usuallyglycerin) into the pressure chamber of the apparatus. Formachines shown in Fig. 1 where the cracking pressure is theonly measurement, the pressu
21、re will be generated by pumpingliquid at a rate of 170 6 10 mL/min or by turning a handwheelat approximately 30 r/min. For machines shown in Fig. 2 wherecracking pressure and extension are measured, the pressurewill be generated by pumping liquid at a rate of 15 6 2 mL/minor by turning a handwheel a

31、ducibility reported in 10.1.2 is based on dataobtained at two laboratories, and a different operator. The results showclose correlation between laboratories.NOTE 2The results given in Section 10 are based on tests on 30 sidesof leather and do not apply to findings and cut parts.NOTE 3The precision d
32、ata for between skins are not included becausethe results were based on different skins from several production lots. Thevariables in leather for between skins will give a higher variation of theresults, but this factor should not affect the precision of the method.11. Keywords11.1 burst strength ex
