Summary of Test Method4.1 The nominal linear density of the sample is known ordetermined and the elongation at the breaking force is deter-mined from representative specimens.4.2 A specimen from the sample is placed in a pair ofline-contact clamps and held at a selected elongation for a
10、specified period of time. The permanent deformation or non-recoverable stretch is measured after a specified recoveryperiod.5. Significance and Use5.1 Test Method D3106 for testing permanent deformationof elastomeric yarns is considered satisfactory for acceptancetesting of commercial shipments when
11、 there is prior agreementas to the exact value of elongation to be used for testing, sincecurrent estimates of between-laboratory precision are accept-able.5.1.1 If there are differences or practical significance be-tween reported test results for two laboratories (or more)comparative tests should b

If differing numbers andpackages are to be taken from the shipping cartons in the lotsample, determine at random which shipping car

25、package. If there is evidence ofdamage, continue to withdraw units of five layers and reinspectuntil there is no discernible damage. Withdraw yarn over theend of the package and cut specimens approximately 150 mmlong. Discard specimens that are damaged during withdrawalor cutting. Withdraw at least2
26、mofyarn between specimensfrom a single package.8. Specimens Per Package8.1 Take a number of specimens per package such that theuser may expect at the 95 % probability level that the test resultis no more than 0.55 percentage points above or below the trueaverage of the package. Determine the number
27、of specimens asfollows:8.1.1 Reliable Estimate of sWhen there is a reliableestimate of s based on extensive past records for similarmaterials tested in the users laboratory as directed in the testmethod, calculate the required number of specimens perpackage using (Eq 1):n 5 ts/E!2(1)where:n = number
28、 of specimens per package (rounded upward to awhole number),s = reliable estimate of the standard deviation of individualobservations on similar materials in the users laboratoryunder conditions of single-operator precision,t = value of Students t for two-sided limits, a 95 %probability level, and t
29、he degree of freedom associatedwith the estimate of s (see Table 1), andE = 0.55 percentage points, the value of the allowablevariation.8.1.2 No Reliable Estimate of sWhen there is no reliableestimate of s for the users laboratory, (Eq 1) should not beused directly. Instead, specify the fixed number
30、 of ten speci-mens. This number of specimens is calculated using s = 0.87percentage point, which is a somewhat larger value of s than isusually found in practice. When a reliable estimate of s for theusers laboratory becomes available, (Eq 1) will usually requirefewer than ten specimens.9. Condition

Preconditioning is not necessary for the currently producedrubber and other elastomers having a moisture regain below1.

Procedure10.1 Test all specimens in the standard atmosphere fortesting textiles.10.2 Determine the elongation at the breaking force for eachspecimen as directed in Test Method D2433.NOTE 3When Test Method D3106 is used for acceptance testing, thelaboratory of the
33、purchaser and the laboratory of the supplier should agreeon a specific value of the elongation at the breaking force.10.3 Determine the linear density for the sample as directedin Test Method D2433. The nominal linear density value maybe used.10.4 Adjust the line-contact clamps for a 100 mm nominalg
34、age length (see Fig. 1). This is the original length of aspecimen.NOTE 4A convenient method for checking the gage length is to placea piece of carbon paper and white paper in the clamps and close theclamps. The distance between the marks on the whitepaper (made by thecarbon paper) is the nominal gag
35、e length. If the test apparatus isassembled as described in Appendix X1, the nominal gage length may beset directly.10.5 Fasten one end of the specimen in the top clamp. Passthe other end of the specimen through the lower clamp facesand through the toggle clamp. Attach a tensioning mass equalto 0.03

42、parted to the yarn. It isrecommended that prior to actual testing, the operator familiarize himselfwith the rate of stretch required to effect the total required stretch withinthe specified time limit.10.8 At the end of the 4-h period, raise the lower clamp untilthe specimen has enough slack to prev

Start the stop watch ortimer and hold the specimen in this condition for 10 min 6 30s.10.9 At the end of the recovery period, lower the moveableclamp until the specimen is just straight without beingstretched and measure the length of the s

The measured length is the stretched length of aspecimen after a 10-min relaxation time.10.10 Raise the lower clamp immediately after measuringthe specimen, allowing enough slack to prevent the specimenfrom becoming taut due to recovery. Hold the specimen in thisconditi
