Select the rolls or padsin such a manner as to be representative of the shipment.3.2 FabricSelect one
15、roll from each ten rolls or fractionthereof in a shipment of full-width fabric.3.3 TapeThe producer and consumer shall agree upon thenumber of rolls selected. Unless otherwise specified, a mini-mum of three rolls per lot shall be selected. For samplingpurposes, a lot consists of identifiable materia
16、ls of the sametype manufactured in one production run and offered fordelivery at the same time.4. Selecting Samples4.1 Cut off and discard not less than two turns of fabric orsix turns of tape from each roll or pad selected for samplingbefore the samples are selected.4.2 From shipments such as sheet
17、s of fabric or strips of tape,take samples representative of the shipment in accordance with4.1.5. Selecting Test Specimens5.1 Prepare the test specimens from samples as selected inSection 4 and as provided for in the individual test methods.CONDITIONING6. Terminology6.1 Definitions of Terms Specifi
18、c to This Standard:6.1.1 conditioning (of resin-coated glass fabrics or glassfabric tapes), nthe process of exposing test specimens of thematerial to a specified temperature, or to an atmosphere ofspecified relative humidity and temperature, for a specifiedperiod of time.7. Significance and Use7.1 T
19、he electrical properties of resin-coated glass fabrics areaffected by their temperature and moisture content. For thisreason it is necessary to control these properties for a specifiedtime immediately prior to testing in order to attain reasonablygood reproducibility of test values. The time of expo
20、sure to theconditioning atmosphere must be long enough to permit thetest specimen to reach a relatively stable value. Usually themoisture content of these materials has little effect on themechanical properties.8. Conditioning8.1 Unless otherwise specified in the individual test meth-ods, condition
21、test specimens as described in 8.1.1, 8.1.2,or8.1.3. In matters of dispute, consider 8.1.2 the referee method.Use the method described in 8.1.3 only if specifically agreedupon by the producer and consumer.8.1.1 Condition the test specimen for 48 h in the StandardLaboratory Atmosphere (50 6 2 % relat
22、ive humidity at atemperature of 23 6 1C (73.4 6 1.8F), and conduct the testsin the Standard Laboratory Atmosphere.8.1.2 Condition the test specimen for 48 h in the StandardLaboratory Atmosphere (50 6 2 % relative humidity at atemperature of 23 6 1C (73.4 6 1.8F), and conduct the testsimmediately upo
23、n removal of the test specimen from theconditioning room or chamber.8.1.3 Do not condition the test specimens if it is desired totest the material in the condition as received by the purchaser,but allow the packages containing the rolls of cloth or tapefrom which the specimens are to be taken to rea
24、ch approxi-mately test-room temperature before the packages are openedand the specimens cut. Remove the specimens to be testedfrom the roll as required and test immediately, unless otherwisespecified.WEIGHT9. Terminology9.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:9.1.1 weight (of resin-coated
25、 glass cloth and glass clothtapes), nthe weight per unit area as determined in accordancewith this method. It is usually expressed in pounds per squareyard for a specified nominal thickness.10. Significance and Use10.1 The ratio of resin weight to glass cloth weight, withinand between shipments, can
26、 be determined from the weight ofresin-coated glass cloth and glass cloth tape and the weight ofthe cloth base. This ratio is a factor in determining the electricalcharacteristics of the material. Weight values are useful forestimating weight in designing electrical equipment containinga constituent
27、 part of resin-coated cloth or tape.11. Procedure11.1 Determine the weight per unit area using the methodgiven in Test Methods D295.THREAD COUNT12. Terminology12.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:12.1.1 thread count, nThe thread count of resin-coatedglass cloth refers to the count of
28、the number of threads presentin the base glass cloth per linear inch (centimetre) of length orwidth, respectively.13. Significance and Use13.1 Thread count, together with the weight and the widthof the glass cloth, is accepted as the common means fordesignating and identifying cloth constructions.13
29、.2 Certain of the physical and electrical properties ofwoven fabrics are dependent on thread count. That is, assumingthe same size of yarn, an increase in thread count increases theweight, breaking strength, and density of the cloth. Also, the4Available from Institute of Electrical and Electronics E

Report15.1 The results of the warp or filling count shall bereported as threads per inch (centimetre).NOTE 2Before counting black resin-coated materials, it will benecessary to remove the resin film with a knife blade or other suitablei
32、nstrument. As an alternative method, liquid resin removers may be usedfor this purpose, provided specimens are dried before the thread count istaken.THICKNESS16. Terminology16.1 Definition:16.1.1 thickness (of an electrical insulating material),nthe perpendicular distance between the two surfaces of
33、interest, determined in accordance with a standard method.17. Significance and Use17.1 This test is of value in determining whether thematerial meets specified tolerances for thickness. In addition,thickness values are essential because of the importance ofspace factor in designing electrical equipm
34、ent.17.2 Determination of dielectric strength, usually expressedin volts per mil, also necessitates thickness measurements.18. Test Specimens18.1 In the case of fabrics, cut a specimen 1 in. (25.4 mm)wide across the entire width.18.2 In the case of tapes, remove the specimens fromsamples selected in
35、 accordance with Section 3. Prepare speci-mens 36 in. (914 mm) long.19. Procedure19.1 Unless otherwise specified, measure the thickness inaccordance with Method C of Test Methods D374 with thefollowing modifications:19.1.1 In making thickness measurements, use only onelayer of the material.19.1.2 In
36、 the case of fabrics, take ten measurements equallyspaced across the width of the specimen. The thickness of thecloth is the average of the ten measurements.19.1.3 In the case of tapes, unless otherwise specified, taketen measurements equally spaced along the length of eachspecimen. The thickness of
37、 the tape is the average of the tenmeasurements.19.1.4 The diameter of the pressure foot is 0.250 6 0.001in. (6.35 6 0.03 mm) and the diameter of the anvil is at least2 in. (50 mm). The pressure on the pressure foot (dead weight)is 25 6 2 psi or 172 6 14 kPa.19.1.5 Methods A and C of Test Methods D3
38、74 shall not beconsidered interchangeable.19.2 Method B of Test Methods D374 may be used uponspecific agreement between the producer and consumer.20. Report20.1 Report the average, maximum, and minimum thick-nesses, in inches, reported to the nearest 0.0001 in. (0.0025mm).21. Precision and Bias21.1
39、This test method has been in use for many years, but noinformation has been presented to ASTM upon which to basea statement of precision. No activity has been planned todevelop such information.21.2 This test method has no bias because the value forthickness is determined solely in terms of this tes
40、t methoditself.BREAKING STRENGTH22. Terminology22.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:22.1.1 breaking strength (of resin-coated glass cloths andglass cloth tapes), nthe force per unit width required to breakthe cloth or tapes when tested under certain prescribed condi-tions.23. Signific
41、ance and Use23.1 The breaking strength of finished cloth and tape is ofimportance as a measure of its ability to withstand reasonablepulling without failure while being applied in service.24. Apparatus24.1 Use a constant rate of elongation type tensile testingmachine as described in Test Method D828
42、.25. Test Specimens25.1 From full-width fabric samples or from sample rolls oftapes over 1 in. (25.4 mm) in width cut specimens 1 in. inwidth (Note 3) and not less than 12 in. (305 mm) in length. Fortape having a nominal width of 1 in. or under, preparespecimens of the original width and not less th
43、an 12 in. inlength.NOTE 3In the case of specimens 1 in. in width and having ultimatebreaking loads above the capacity of the machine, it is permissible toreduce the width of the specimen to 0.5 in. (12.7 mm).25.2 In the case of fabrics, cut five specimens with the sidesparallel to the warp threads a
44、nd five with the sides parallel tothe filling threads (Note 4), from samples selected in accor-dance with Section 4.NOTE 4Frequently the fill threads of glass fabrics used to manufac-ture resin-coated glass fabrics do not run in a straight line and are notperpendicular to the warp threads. Breaking
45、strength from specimens cutperpendicular to the warp thread may, therefore, be highly variable.25.3 In the case of tapes, cut five specimens from each rollselected in accordance with 3.3.26. Procedure26.1 Maintain the clearance distance between jaws at 6 in.(153 mm).D902 12326.2 The rate of separati
46、on of the jaws must be 12 6 0.5in/min (305 6 13 mm/min).26.3 Reject all readings obtained when the specimen breaksat or in the jaws.27. Report27.1 The breaking strength of a roll of fabric or tape is theaverage of the breaking strengths of all the specimens testedfrom the roll. Report the average, m
47、aximum, and minimumbreaking strengths in pounds per inch width (or newtons permetre), together with the width and nominal thickness.27.2 In the case of fabrics, report the breaking strengths ofthe warp threads and the filling threads separately.28. Precision and Bias28.1 This test method has been in
48、 use for many years, but noinformation has been presented to ASTM upon which to basea statement of precision. No activity has been planned todevelop such information.28.2 This test method has no bias because the value forbreaking strength is determined solely in terms of this testmethod itself.DIELE
