Significance and Use4.1 Bursting strength is widely used as a measure of theresistance to rupture in many kinds of paper. The test isrelatively easy and inexpensive to make and appea

Apparatus5.1 Bursting Tester, having the following features andauxiliary equipment:5.1.1 Clamp, for firmly and uniformly securing the testspecimen without slippage during the test (recommendedclamping load 2700 N 600 lb) between two annular, plane,parallel, and
10、 preferably stainless steel surfaces.5.1.1.1 The upper clamping surface (the clamping ring) hasa circular opening 30.50 6 0.05 mm 1.200 6 0.002 in. indiameter. The surface which is in contact with the paper duringtesting has a continuous, spiral, 60 V-groove, at least 0.25 mm0.010 in. deep and of 0.
11、8 mm 132 in. pitch, the groovestarting at 3.2 mm 18in. from the edge of the opening. Thecircular edge of the opening that is in contact with the paperduring testing is relieved of sharpness with a very fine abrasivecloth (such as crocus cloth) but not rounded off enough to alterthe diameter of the o

The

During tests, the circularedges of the openings in the two clamping plates are requiredto be concentric to within 0.25 mm 0.01 in.NOTE
17、2Because the clamping mechanism and clamping surfaces aresubject to considerable wear or distortion, they should be examinedperiodically and repaired or replaced when necessary.5.1.2 Circular Diaphragm, of pure gum rubber, 0.85 6 0.05mm 0.034 6 0.002 in. thick. This is clamped between thelower clamp

The diaphragm should be inspectedfrequently for permanent distortion and, if distorted, replaced.5.1.3 Means of applying controlled, increasing, hydrostaticpressu
20、re by a fluid, at the rate of 95 6 5 mL/min to theunderside of the diaphragm until the specimen bursts. Therecommended fluid is USP (96 %) glycerin. Purified ethyleneglycol (the permanent types of radiator antifreeze with addi-tives are not satisfactory) may be substituted if desired.NOTE 3The hydra
21、ulic system, including the gages or transducers,must be mounted so as to be free from externally induced vibration.NOTE 4Because the bursting resistance of paper increases withincreased rate of loading, the rate of strain must be maintained effectivelyconstant to obtain reproducible results. Any air
22、 present in the hydraulicsystem of the tester will lower the rate of distortion of the specimen andmust be substantially removed. Air is most commonly trapped under therubber diaphragm and in the tubes of the gages. A simple method oftesting for the presence of excessive quantities of air is given i
23、n 8.3.5.1.4 Pressure Gage A maximum-reading pressure gageof the bourdon type, of appropriate capacity and with agraduated circular scale 95 mm 334 in. or more in diameter.5.1.4.1 The choice and characteristics of the gage are givenin Table 1. The 0 to 840 kPa 0 to 120 psi range gage may beused for a
24、ny test within its capacity, if so noted in the report.5.1.4.2 The expansibility of a gage is in the volume of liquidentering the gage tube per unit increase in pressure when air isabsent. It can be determined most conveniently by means of adilatometer device described by Tuck and Mason (1)5. Thegag
25、e expansibility must be within 15 % of the specified value.NOTE 5An appreciable flow of liquid into the gage occurs from thestart of the test to the instant of burst. A gage, therefore, reduces the rateof distension of the specimen by an amount depending upon its expansi-bility. When a number of gag
26、es are mounted on a single apparatus, caremust be taken that only the gage on which the measurement is being madeis open to the hydraulic system; otherwise an erroneously low burstpressure will be recorded.5.1.4.3 To avoid overloading and possible damage to thegage, a preliminary bursting test shoul
27、d be made with ahigh-capacity gage.5.1.5 As an alternative, a pressure transducer which con-nects to the tester in the same manner as the gage along withits necessary signal processing circuitry may be used. Thistransducer displays the results in a digital form, and in addition,may provide an output
28、 for communication with various dataprocessing devices (and can be substituted for the pressuregage in 5.1.4).5.1.5.1 Typical transducer ranges are shown in Table 2.5.1.5.2 To avoid overloading and possibly damaging thetransducer, a preliminary bursting test should be made with ahigh-capacity transd
29、ucer.6. Sampling6.1 Obtain the sample for testing in accordance with Prac-tice D 585.7. Test Specimens7.1 Not less than 20 specimens, each at least 64 by 64 mm(2.5 by 2.5 in.), shall be obtained from each test unit of thesample, so as to be representative of the test unit.8. Calibration and Maintena
30、nce8.1 Calibrate the pressure-indicating device by means of adead-weight tester of the piston type. If the device is aBourdon-type gage, it must be calibrated while inclined at thesame angle at which it is to be used. Preferably, calibrate withthe gage in its normal position. For an instrument error
31、 of lessthan 3 %, calibrate the pressure-indicating device in such amanner that known pressures are applied dynamically atapproximately the same rate as in testing of paper. Maximumreading pressure devices are subject to dynamic errors as wellas ordinary static calibration errors. A suitable method
32、ofdynamic calibration for greater precision is described in Tucket al. (2).8.1.1 Calibrate gages in frequent use at least once a month.If a gage is accidentally used beyond its capacity, recalibratebefore it is used again.8.2 Calibration of Transducer/Readout SystemCalibratethe transducer can be cal
33、ibrated on the same device as is usedto calibrate gages.8.2.1 Calibrate transducers in frequent use should be cali-brated at least once a month.5The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis test method.TABLE 1 Gage CharacteristicsRange of bursting pressure Ra

Any time that maintenance iscarried out on the apparatus that could allow air to enter thehydraulic system, take steps to ensure that all of the air hasbeen removed.8.3.1 To determine if there is air in the system, first applypressure as described in
36、 5.1.2 to raise the diaphragm 9 mm (38in.) above the top of the diaphragm plate and hold for 1 min.Any air trapped between the diaphragm and the fluid will showup as a white spot under the surface of the diaphragm. If thisoccurs, reinstall the diaphragm.8.3.2 Observe the pressure developed. Pressure

39、 By means of a special device for forcing hydraulicfluid into the system or by manually operating the hydraulicsystem, force the hydraulic fluid through the system until itemerges from the bleeder valve with an even flow and noevidence of free air bubbles are observed. Replace the cap onthe bleeder
40、valve before the fluid stops flowing. Remove sheetmetal from clamping device and check diaphragm height,adjusting if necessary.9. Conditioning9.1 Condition the sample in accordance with PracticeD 685, and make all tests in the same standard atmosphere.10. Procedure10.1 Unless the approximate strengt
41、h of the paper undertesting is known, make a preliminary test to determine therequired capacity of the measuring device (gage or transducer)being used. See Table 1 and Table 2. To avoid overload andpossible damage to a measuring device, begin the preliminarybursting tests with a high-capacity gage.
42、See 5.1.10.2 Clamp the specimen securely in position, apply thehydrostatic pressure as specified in 5.1.3 until the specimenruptures, and record the maximum registered by the pressuregage. Watch carefully for any movement (buckling) of theunclamped margin of the specimen. If slippage is indicated,di
43、scard the test and increase the clamping pressure for subse-quent tests.10.3 Make at least ten acceptable tests, applying an equalnumber to each side of the paper. Make no tests on areascontaining watermarks, creases, imperfections, or visible dam-age.10.4 After each test, return the measuring devic
44、e to zero.For the gage unit, this involves gently returning the indicatorneedle to the zero point.11.
