15、ignificance and Use5.1 This test method for the determination of ball bursting strength 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 Test Method D3787 have not been correlated with actual performanc
16、e. TestMethod D3787 is considered satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercial shipments of textiles fabrics for bursting strengthsince the method has been used extensively in the trade for acceptance testing. In cases of disagreement arising from differencesin values reported by the purchaser
17、and the seller when using Test Method D3787 for acceptance testing, the statistical bias, if any,between the laboratory of the purchaser and the laboratory of the seller should be determined with comparison based on testingspecimens randomly drawn from one sample of material of the type being evalua
18、ted.NOTE 3The kind force transfer and strength that occur when knitted goods are worn is prevented by clamping them as directed in this test method.5.2.1 If there are differences of practical significance between reported test results for two (or more) laboratories, comparativetests should be perfor
19、med to determine if there is a statistical bias between them. The test samples used should be: as homogeneousas possible, drawn from the material from which the disparate test results were obtained, and randomly assigned in equal numbersto the laboratories for testing. Other materials with establish
20、ed test values may be used for this purpose. The test results from thetwo laboratories should be compared using a statistical test for unpaired data at a probability level chosen prior to the testing series.If a bias is found, either the cause must be determined and corrected or future test results
21、must be adjusted in consideration ofknown bias.6. Apparatus6.1 Constant-Rate-of-Traverse (CRT) Tensile Testing Machine (CRT), as specified in Specification D76, with a ball-burstattachment replacing the clamp assembly.6.2 Ball-Burst Attachment,3consisting of an attachment having a polished steel bal

From each roll or piece of circular knit fabric selected from thelot sample, cut a band at least 300 mm (1 ft.)ft) wide.8. Selection and Number of Specimens8.1 Unless otherwise agreed upon, as when specified in an applic
28、able material specification, take five specimens of thelaboratory sample(s) of fabric. Each specimen shall be at least 125 mm (5 in)in.) square, or a circle 125 mm (5 in)in.) in diameter.Specimens need not be cut for testing. No two specimens should contain the same warp and filling or wale and cour
29、se yarns. Takeno specimens nearer the selvage than one tenth the fabric width. This restriction does not apply to tubular knitted fabric.9. Conditioning9.1 Bring the specimens (or laboratory samples) from the prevailing atmosphere to moisture equilibrium for testing textiles inthe standard atmospher
30、e for testing as prescribed in Practice D1776.10. Procedure10.1 Make all tests on samples conditioned in the standard atmosphere for testing as specified in 9.1.10.2 Place the specimen without tension in the ring clamp and fasten securely by means of the screw or lever device. Start theCRT tensile t

Record to the nearest 0.5 N (0.1 lb) the ball-bursting strength of the specimen.11. Calculation11.1 Calculate the average bursting force to the nearest 0.5 N (0.1 l
32、b) for each laboratory sample and for the lot.12. Report12.1 State that the specimens were tested as directed in ASTM Test Method D3787. Describe the material or product sampled,and the method of sampling used.12.2 Report the bursting strength of each specimen and the average bursting strength of th
33、e five specimens from each laboratorysample to the nearest 0.1 lbf (0.5 N).13. Precision and Bias413.1 Interlaboratory Test Dataan interlaboratory test was run in 1990 in which randomly drawn specimens of three fabricswere tested in each of four laboratories. The fabrics were circular knit, stabiliz
34、ed knit and brushed knit fabrics. The componentsof variance for bursting strength results expressed as variance are reported in Table 1.4 Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and may be obtained by requesting Research Report RR:D13-1086.TABLE 1 Components of Variance fo
35、r Bursting StrengthExpressed as VarianceWithinLaboratoryComponentBetweenLaboratoryComponentCotton Circular Knit 2.31 6.75Brushed Warp Knit 0.76 5.22D3787 153NOTE 4The difference in variability between the two groups of fabrics is attributed to the differences between the source yarns rather than the
36、 typeof equipment on which the fabrics were knit. There is no objective evidence to support this supposition.13.2 Critical DifferencesFor the components of variance reported in 13.1, two averages of observed values should beconsidered significantly different at the 95 % probability level if the diff
37、erence equals or exceeds the critical differences listed inTable 2 (Note 45).NOTE 5The tabulated values of the critical differences should be considered to be a general statement particularly with respect to between-laboratoryprecision. Before a statement can be made about two specific laboratories,
38、 the amount of statistical bias, if any, between them must be established, witheach comparison being based on recent data obtained on specimens randomly drawn from a sample taken at random from a lot of the material to beevaluated.13.3 BiasThe procedure of this test method produces a test value that
39、 can be defined only in terms of a test method. Thereis no independent, referee method by which bias may be determined. This test method has no known bias.14.
