Significance and Use4.1 Compression tests provide information about the com-pressive properties of plastics when employed under conditionsapproximating those under which the tests are made.4.2 Compressive properties include modulu
22、s of elasticity,yield stress, deformation beyond yield point, and compressivestrength (unless the material merely flattens but does notfracture). Materials possessing a low order of ductility may notexhibit a yield point. In the case of a material that fails incompression by a shattering fracture, t
23、he compressive strengthhas a very definite value. In the case of a material that does notfail in compression by a shattering fracture, the compressivestrength is an arbitrary one depending upon the degree ofdistortion that is regarded as indicating complete failure of thematerial. Many plastic mater
24、ials will continue to deform incompression until a flat disk is produced, the compressivestress (nominal) rising steadily in the process, without anywell-defined fracture occurring. Compressive strength canhave no real meaning in such cases.4.3 Compression tests provide a standard method of obtain-i
25、ng data for research and development, quality control, accep-tance or rejection under specifications, and special purposes.The tests cannot be considered significant for engineeringdesign in applications differing widely from the load-time scaleof the standard test. Such applications require additio
26、nal testssuch as impact, creep, and fatigue.4.4 Before proceeding with this test method, referenceshould be made to the ASTM specification for the materialbeing tested. Any test specimen preparation, conditioning,dimensions, and testing parameters covered in the materialsspecification shall take pre
27、cedence over those mentioned in thistest method. If there is no material specification, then thedefault conditions apply. Table 1 in Classification D 4000 liststhe ASTM materials standards that currently exist.5. Apparatus5.1 Testing MachineAny suitable testing machine capableof control of constant-

30、 The accuracy of the testing machineshall be verified at least once a year in accordance withPractices E4.5.2 CompressometerA suitable instrument for determin-ing the distance between two fixed points on the test specimenat any time during the test. It is desirable that this instrumentautomatically

This tool shall be so constructed thatloading is axial within 1:1000 and applied through surfaces thatare flat within 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) and parallel to each oth
33、erin a plane normal to the vertical loading axis. Examples ofsuitable compression tools are shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.5.4 Supporting JigA supporting jig for thin specimens isshown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.5.5 MicrometersSuitable micrometers, reading to 0.01mm or 0.001 in. for measuring the width, thick

Test Specimens6.1 Unless otherwise specified in the materials specifica-tions, the specimens described in 6.2 and 6.7 shall be used.These specimens may be prepared by machining operationsfrom materials in sheet, plate, rod, tube, or similar form, orthey may be pre
35、pared by compression or injection molding ofthe material to be tested. All machining operations shall bedone carefully so that smooth surfaces result. Great care shallbe taken in machining the ends so that smooth, flat parallelsurfaces and sharp, clean edges, to within 0.025 mm (0.001 in.)perpendicu
36、lar to the long axis of the specimen, result.6.2 The standard test specimen, except as indicated in6.3-6.7, shall be in the form of a right cylinder or prism whoselength is twice its principal width or diameter. Preferredspecimen sizes are 12.7 by 12.7 by 25.4 mm (0.50 by 0.50 byD 695 02a21 in.) (pr
37、ism), or 12.7 mm in diameter by 25.4 mm (cylinder).Where elastic modulus and offset yield-stress data are desired,the test specimen shall be of such dimensions that the slender-ness ratio is in the range from 11 to 16:1. In this case, preferredspecimen sizes are 12.7 by 12.7 by 50.8 mm (0.50 by 0.50
38、 by2 in.) (prism), or 12.7 mm in diameter by 50.8 mm (cylinder).6.3 For rod material, the test specimen shall have a diameterequal to the diameter of the rod and a sufficient length to allowa specimen slenderness ratio in the range from 11 to 16:1.6.4 When testing tubes, the test specimen shall have
39、 adiameter equal to the diameter of the tube and a length of 25.4mm (1 in.) (Note 4). For crushing-load determinations (at rightangles to the longitudinal axis), the specimen size shall be thesame, with the diameter becoming the height.NOTE 4This specimen can be used for tubes with a wall thickness
40、of1 mm (0.039 in.) or over, to inside diameters of 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) or over,and to outside diameters of 50.8 mm (2.0 in.) or less.6.5 Where it is desired to test conventional high-pressurelaminates in the form of sheets, the thickness of which is lessthan 25.4 mm (1 in.), a pile-up of sheets 25.4 m
41、m square, witha sufficient number of layers to produce a height of at least 25.4mm, may be used.6.6 When testing material that may be suspected of anisot-ropy, duplicate sets of test specimens shall be prepared havingtheir long axis respectively parallel with and normal to thesuspected direction of
42、anisotropy.6.7 Reinforced Plastics, Including High-Strength Compos-ites and High-Strength Composites and Highly OrthotropicLaminatesThe following specimens shall be used for rein-forced materials, or for other materials when necessary tocomply with the slenderness ratio requirements or to permitatta
43、chment of a deformation-measuring device.6.7.1 For materials 3.2 mm (18 in.) and over in thickness, aspecimen shall consist of a prism having a cross section of 12.7mm (12 in.) by the thickness of the material and a length suchthat the slenderness ratio is in the range from 11 to 16:1 (Note5).6.7.2
44、For materials under 3.2 mm (18 in.) thick, or whereelastic modulus testing is required and the slenderness ratiodoes not provide for enough length for attachment of acompressometer or similar device, a specimen conforming tothat shown in Fig. 5 shall be used. The supporting jig shown inFig. 3 and Fi
45、g. 4 shall be used to support the specimen duringtesting (Note 6).NOTE 5If failure for materials in the thickness range of 3.2 mm (18in.) is by delamination rather than by the desirable shear plane fracture, thematerial may be tested in accordance with 6.7.2.NOTE 6Round-robin tests have established
46、that relatively satisfactorymeasurements of modulus of elasticity may be obtained by applying acompressometer to the edges of the jig-supported specimen.NOTE 1Devices similar to the one illustrated have been successfullyused in a number of different laboratories.
