The terminology applied to materials in these testmethods shall be in accordance with the terms appearing inTerminologies D 883 and D 1711.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 In referring to the cutting, application, and loading ofthe speci
21、mens, the following terms apply:3.2.1.1 crosswise (CW), adjin the direction of the sheet at90 to the lengthwise direction. This is normally the weakestdirection in flexure.

24、.1 bonding strength, nthe force required to split aprescribed specimen under the test conditions specified herein.4. Conditioning4.1 The properties of the materials described in these testmethods are affected by the temperature and moisture exposureof the materials to a greater or lesser extent, dep
25、ending on theparticular material and the specific property. Control of tem-perature and humidity exposure is undertaken to: (1) obtainsatisfactory test precision, or (2) study the behavior of thematerial as influenced by specific temperature and humidityconditions.4.2 Unless otherwise specified in t

27、Apparatus and Procedure5.1 Measure thickness in accordance with Test MethodsD 374.5.2 On test specimens, the use of a machinists micrometeras specified in Method B is satisfactory for the determination ofthickness for all of the test methods that follow. Where it isconvenient, the deadweight dial mi
28、crometer, Method C, maybe used.5.3 On large sheets, use Method B. Choose a micrometerwith a yoke of sufficient size and rigidity to permit accuratemeasurements in the center of the sheet.6. Precision and Bias6.1 Results of comparative tests in several factories, mea-suring 36-in. (914-mm) square she
29、ets by a variety of suchdevices, indicate that the trade is able to measure sheets132 and18 in. (1 and 3 mm) in thickness to accuracy of 0.0015 in.(0.0381 mm). (In the tests, s, of 0.0005 in. (0.0127 mm) wasobtained.)6.2 This test method has no bias because the value forbreaking strength is determin
30、ed solely in terms of this testmethod itself.TENSILE PROPERTIES7.

Rate of Loading8.1 The materials covered by these test methods generallyexhibit high elastic modulus. Us
32、e any crosshead speed pro-vided that the load and strain indicators are capable of accuratemeasurement at the speed used, except use 0.05 in./min (1mm/min) in matters of dispute.9. Procedure9.1 Measure the tensile strength and elastic modulus inaccordance with Test Method D 638 except as modified in
33、 thefollowing paragraphs.9.2 Measure the width and thickness of the specimen to thenearest 0.001 in. (0.025 mm) at several points along the lengthof the flat section, which is indicated as Dimension F in Fig. 1.Record the minimum values of cross-sectional area so deter-mined.9.3 Place the specimen i
34、n the grips of the testing machine,taking care to align the long axis of the specimen and the gripswith an imaginary line joining the points of attachment of thegrips to the machine. Allow 0.25 in. (6.3 mm) between the endsof the gripping surfaces and the shoulders of the fillet of the flattest spec
35、imen; thus, the ends of the gripping surfaces should bethe indicated distance apart, as shown in Fig. 1, at the start ofthe test. Tighten the grips evenly and firmly to the degreenecessary to prevent slippage of the specimen during the test,but not to the point where the specimen would be crushed.9.
36、4 Tensile StrengthSet the rate of loading. Load thespecimen at the indicated rate until the specimen ruptures.Record the maximum load (usually the load at rupture).9.5 Elastic ModulusWhen elastic modulus is desired, usea load-extension recorder with appropriate extension transmit-ter and proceed as
37、in 9.3. Attach the extension transmitter, andproceed as in 9.4.10.
