1、Designation: D 2813 03 (Reapproved 2008)Standard Practice forSampling Leather for Physical and Chemical Tests1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2813; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of l
2、ast revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () 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 practice covers the sampling of f
3、inished leather andfabricated leather items for physical and chemical tests. Theproduct is grouped into lots that are randomly sampled in sucha manner as to produce a representative sample of the lot. Thissample may be used to determine compliance of the lot withapplicable specification requirements
4、, and on the basis ofresults, the lot may be accepted or rejected in its entirety.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety 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 d

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 lot (or batch)units of products from a single type,grade, class, size, and composi
6、tion, manufactured under essen-tially the same conditions and time.3.1.2 Leather in formed lots should be produced from:(1) Units of product of similar size and type.(2) Tanning and finishing material obtained from the sameproducer (functionally equivalent).(3) A single product method.(4) Sequential
7、 production batches.3.1.3 unita piece of leather in the form in which it ispurchased, such as a single hide, skin, or any part thereof, or asingle fabricated-leather article in the form in which it ispurchased, such as a counter, pair of shoes, a gasket, etc.4. Significance and Use4.1 The sampling p
8、rocedures described in this practice havebeen designed to ensure random sampling of finished leatherand fabricated leather items for physical and chemical tests.Leather is a natural product and as such is subject to extensivevariability. The physical and chemical properties vary consid-erably depend
9、ing on location on the hide, side or skin fromwhich the test sample is taken. Random sampling of specimensfrom a predefined location and orientation minimizes test biasand variability. This practice defines these parameters.5. Conditioning5.1 Physical tests of leather and leather products, unlessoth
10、erwise specified in the applicable test method, specification,or procurement document, shall be performed under standardatmospheric conditions as described in Practice D 1610, whichis 50 6 4 % relative humidity at a temperature of 23 6 1C(73.4 6 2F).6. Procedure6.1 Prior to sampling, identify the pr
11、oduct properly as a lotor batch.6.2 Select units from locations scattered throughout the lot,not from the same portion of the lot, such as a single carton,layer, etc. Take without regard to quality.6.2.1 The number of samples taken depends on the reliabil-ity of the test results, the deviation of th
12、e properties, and theerror of the testing procedure. The number of samples takenmay be at the discretion of the user and the related test methodand should also be recorded on the test report.6.3 Location and Size of Cuttings :6.3.1 SkinsCut the test piece to the size and shaperequired for the tests
13、to be made, with one edge parallel to and1 in. (25.4 mm) from the backbone line, beginning 3 in. (76mm) from the root of the tail. Pieces shall be cut from only oneside of the backbone of each skin. The test area for skinscorresponds to area a for cattlehides of Fig. 1.6.3.2 CattlehidesThe location
14、and size of cutting shall beas follows:1This practice is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D31 on Leather andis the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D31.07 on Physical Properties. Thispractice was developed in cooperation with the American Leather Chemists Assn.(Standard Method J 1 1956).

17、 test to be made,with one edge parallel to and 2 in. (51 mm) from the backboneline beginning 5 in. (127 mm) from the root of the tail. In mostinstances, test piece a may be cut 8 in. (203 mm) by 8 in. (203mm). Sample double bends, belting butts, and hides on onlyone side of the backbone (see Fig. 1,

Locate themiddle of the piece midway between points D and F.6.3.2.3 Double ShouldersCut the test piece, Y, 5by7in.(127

Locate the middle of the piecebetween B and E.6.3.3 Cut each specimen for test with its long dimensionperpendicular to the backbone line unless otherwise specifiedin the corresponding test method.6.3.4 When severa
20、l specimens are required from each piece,cut them in order of their corresponding method, beginning atthe edge nearest the tail. For example, the specimen for stitchtear strength would be cut before that for tensile strength.36.3.5 When cutting specimens for physical tests, areasselected must be fre

Samples should be prepared in duplicate.6.3.7 For chemical analysis, grind leather remnants fromphysica
22、l tests in a cutter mill4with a 4 mm-diameter meshsieve. Before grinding, cut leather sample in pieces of adequatesize of approximately 10 mm square to facilitate grinding. Mixthese pieces well before grinding. Mix ground and sievedleather sample thoroughly and then store at room temperaturein a cle
23、an, dry, and airtight container until used for chemicalanalysis. If ground leather finer than 4 mm is required, regrindthis leather to whatever fineness is needed.7.
