3、method describes the measurement for burstingstrength with a ball burst strength tester of textiles or garmentsthat exhibit a high degree of ultimate elongation.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as the standard. Within the test,the inch-pound u

Summary of Test Method4.1 A specimen is securely clamped without tension be-tween groove
9、d, circular plates of the ball burst attachmentsecured to the pulling (movable) jaw for the constant-rate-of-traverse (CRT) testing machine. A force is exerted against thespecimen by a polished, hardened steel ball that is attached tothe pendulum-actuating (fixed) clamp of the machine, untilrupture

Significance and Use5.1 This test method for the determination of ball burstingstrength of textiles is being used by the textile industry for theevaluation of a wide variety of fabrics.5.2 Test results obtained using the procedures in TestMethod D3787 have not been correlated with actual p

Test Method D3787 is considered satisfactory foracceptance testing of commercial shipments of textiles fabricsfor bursting strength since the method has been used exten-sively in the trade for acceptance testing. In cases of disagree-ment arising from differences in values reported by t

The test results from the two laboratories should becompared using a statistical test for unpaired data at aprobability level chosen prior to the testing series. If a bias isfound,

Precision and Bias13.1 Interlaboratory Test Dataan interlaboratory test wasrun in 1990 in which randomly drawn specimens of threefabrics were tested in each of four laboratories. The fabricswere
31、circular knit, stabilized knit and brushed knit fabrics. Thecomponents of variance for bursting strength results expressedas variance are reported in Table 1.NOTE 3The difference in variability between the two groups offabrics is attributed to the differences between the source yarns rather thanthe
32、type of equipment on which the fabrics were knit. There is no objectiveevidence to support this supposition.13.2 Critical DifferencesFor the components of variancereported in 13.1, two averages of observed values should beconsidered significantly different at the 95 % probability levelif the differe
33、nce equals or exceeds the critical differences listedin Table 2 (Note 4).NOTE 4The tabulated values of the critical differences should beconsidered to be a general statement particularly with respect to between-laboratory precision. Before a statement can be made about two specificlaboratories, the
34、amount of statistical bias, if any, between them must beestablished, with each comparison being based on recent data obtained onspecimens randomly drawn from a sample taken at random from a lot ofthe material to be evaluated.13.3 BiasThe procedure of this test method produces atest value that can be
35、 defined only in terms of a test method.There is no independent, referee method by which bias may bedetermined. This test method has no known bias.414.
