United States15.2 Test results obtained using the procedures in Test Method D3787 have not been correlated with actual performance. TestMethod D3787 is cons
16、idered 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 and the seller when using T
17、est 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 evaluated.NOTE 3The kind of force
18、 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 performed to determine if ther
19、e is a statistical bias between them. The test samples used should be:be ashomogeneous as possible, drawn from the material from which the disparate test results were obtained, and randomly assigned inequal numbers to the laboratories for testing. Other materials with established test values may be
20、used for this purpose. The testresults from the two laboratories should be compared using a statistical test for unpaired data at a probability level chosen priorto the testing series. If a bias is found, either the cause must be determined and corrected or future test results must be adjustedin con
21、sideration of known 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 ball that replaces the fi
22、xed clamp of the tensiletester and of a ring-clamp mechanism that replaces the pulling (moving) clamp of the tensile tester (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).Movement of the ring clamp pushes the fabric in the ring clamp against the steel ball.6.2.1 The polished steel ball shall have a diameter of 25.400 6 0.
23、005 mm (1.0000 6 0.0002 in.) and shall be spherical within0.005 mm (0.0002 in.). The ring clamp shall have an internal diameter of 44.450 6 0.025 mm (1.750 6 0.001 in.).7. Sampling7.1 Lot SampleTake a lot sample as directed in the applicable material specification. In the absence of such a specifica

27、sample, cut at least one laboratory sample thefull width of the fabric and at least 1 m (1 yd) along the selvage. From each roll or piece of circular knit fabric selected from thelot sample, cut a band at least 300 mm (1 ft) wide.8. Selection and Number of Specimens8.1 Unless otherwise agreed upon,
28、as when specified in an applicable material specification, take five specimens of thelaboratory sample(s) of fabric. Each specimen shall be at least 125 mm (5 in.) square, or a circle 125 mm (5 in.) in diameter.Specimens need not be cut for testing. No two specimens should contain the same warp and
29、filling or wale and course 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
30、inthe standard atmosphere 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
31、. Start theCRT tensile testing machine, using a pulling clamp speed of 305 6 13 mm/min (12 6 0.5 in./min), and continue at that speed untilthe specimen bursts. 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
32、the nearest 0.5 N (0.1 lb) 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.FIG. 2 Ball Burst AttachmentD3787 16312.2 Report the bursting stre
33、ngth of each specimen and the average bursting strength of the 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 o
34、f four laboratories. The fabrics were circular knit, stabilized knit, and brushed knit fabrics. The componentsof variance for bursting strength results expressed as variance are reported in Table 1.NOTE 4The difference in variability between the two groups of fabrics is attributed to the differences
35、 between the source yarns rather than the 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
36、at the 95 % probability level if the difference equals or exceeds the critical differences listed inTable 2 (Note 5).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
37、be made about two specific laboratories, 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 thi
38、s test method produces a test value that 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.4 Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and may be obtained by requesting Re
