Bothappearance and performance of the pile floor covering can be affected by delamination of the secondary backing.6. Apparatus6.1 Tensile Testing MachineA cons
18、tant-rate-of extension (CRE) type conforming to Specification D76 with a constant rate ofspeed of 12 6 0.5 in./min (304 6 10 mm/min) is preferred. A constant-rate-of-traverse (CRT) type tensile testing machineconforming to Specification D76 and operated at the same speed is permitted. There may be n
19、o overall correlation with CRE-typeand CRT-type testing machines. Consequently, the two machines cannot be used interchangeably. In case of controversy, theCRE-type testing machine shall prevail.6.2 Clamps and Jaw FacesThe use of hydraulic or pneumatic clamping systems with a minimum of 1 by 3 in. (
20、25 by 76 mm)serrated or padded faces designed to minimize slippage in the clamps during testing is recommended. Manual clamping ispermitted providing no slippage of the specimen is observed. The faces shall be parallel and have matching centers with respectto one another in the same clamp and to the
21、 corresponding jaw face of the other clamp.6.3 Tape, self adhering, cloth reinforced tape has been found suitable.7. Sampling7.1 Lot SampleAs a lot sample for acceptance testing, take at random the number of rolls or pieces of pile yarn floor coveringas directed in an applicable material specificati

In the absence of such an agreement, take one roll or piecefrom the lot to be tested.NOTE 1An adequate specification or other agreement between the
23、purchaser and supplier requires taking into account the variability between rollsor pieces of pile yarn floor covering and between specimens from a roll or pieces of pile yarn floor covering to provide a sampling plan with a meaningfulproducers risk, consumers risk, acceptable quality level, and lim

(457 mm) in themachine direction by full width (cross machine direction) from each roll or piece in the lot sample.7.3 Test SpecimensFrom each laboratory sampling unit, cut th
25、ree specimens with the longer direction parallel to the machinedirection. Consider the long dimension as the direction of the test.7.3.1 Secondary Back of Textile ConstructionCut the specimens 3 6 0.08 in. by at least 6 in.

(50 6 2 mm by at least 152 mm).7.3.3 Specimen Sampling and Labelling Take specimens, representing a broad distribution along the length and across thewidth of each laboratory sampling unit. Take one specimen near each edge of the laboratory sampling unit but no
27、nearer theextreme edge than 5 % of its width, and take one specimen from the center area. Ensure that specimens are free of folds, creasesor wrinkles. Avoid getting oil, water, grease, etc., on the specimens when handling. Label to maintain specimen identity.8. Conditioning8.1 Bring the specimen to

Preparation and Verification of Apparatus Systems10.1 Preparation of Tensile Testing Machine:10.1.1 Prepare the machine according to the manufacturers instructions and using the conditions given in 10.1.2-10.2.2.10.1.2 Set the distances between the clamps at 1.0 6 0.05
31、in. (25.4 6 1 mm). Select the full-scale force range of the testingmachine such that the maximum force occurs between 15 and 85 % of full-scale force. Verify the testing machine for this range.10.1.3 Select the testing machine speed of 12 6 0.5 in./min (304 6 10 mm/min).10.1.4 When using a microproc
32、essor automatic data gathering system, set the appropriate parameters as defined in themanufacturers instructions.10.2 Verification of the Total Operating System of the Apparatus:D3936 12210.2.1 Verify the total operating system, for example, loading, clamping, and recording or data collection, when
33、ever there arechanges in the loading system, especially an increase, or clamping mechanism by testing a control material.10.2.2 Compare the data with the previous data, if the average is outside the tolerances established, and recheck the total systemto locate the cause of the deviation (see Guide D
34、4697).11. Procedure11.1 Mount the loose end of the secondary backing or attached cushion, as applicable, in the stationary clamp jaws and the otherloose end of the specimen in the movable clamp. Apply uniform tension across the clamp width of the specimen (see Fig. 1).11.2 Start the machine and auto
35、graphic recording device. If the attached cushion breaks, record that the resistance todelamination exceeds the breaking force of the cushion.11.3 A trace from the recording device consisting of a series of peaks, each representing the force at which the layers haveseparated, and troughs correspondi
36、ng to the fall back of the force will be generated. After the initial peak is recorded and anadditional 3 in. (76 mm) of the specimen has been delaminated, (this represents approximately 6.0 in. (152 mm) of jaw separation),stop the machine, and return the crosshead to the start position.11.4 Remove
37、the delaminated specimen from the clamps, and test the remaining specimens.12. Calculation12.1 From the recording device, determine the value of the highest peak in each 0.5-in. (13 mm) interval of delamination,ignoring the initial peak force (which represents approximately 1.0 in. (25 mm) of jaw se
38、paration). Average these five peak forcesfor each specimen to the nearest 0.1 lbf (0.5 N) (see Fig. 2).12.2 Calculate the resistance to delamination for each specimen to the nearest 0.1 lbf (0.5 N)/unit width, using the followingequation:D 5 F/W (1)D3936-12_1where:D = resistance to delamination, lbf
39、/in. (N/mm),F = average peak force for the specimen, lbf (N), andW = specimen width, 3 in. (76 mm).12.3 Calculate the average resistance to delamination for each laboratory sampling unit and for the lot, or both.12.4 Calculate the standard deviation or coefficient of variation, or both, if requested

Precision and Bias14.1SummaryWhen comparing two averages, the differences should not exceed the single-operator precision values shown inTables 1 and 2 for the respective number of tests in 95 out of 100 cases when all the observations are ta
43、ken by the same well trainedoperator using the same test method techniques and specimens drawn randomly from the sample of material. Larger differencesare likely to occur under all other circumstances.14.2Interlaboratory Test DataAn interlaboratory test was run in 1996 in which randomly-drawn sample
