Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 hook and loop fastenera touch fastener, comprisedof two flexible mating strips, the surface of one mating stripbeing covered w
6、ith tiny, stiff protrusions shaped like hookswhich engage the other mating strip which is covered withpliable loops.3.1.1.1 DiscussionThis fastener comprises a non-adhesive method of joining two materials where ready adjust-ment and removal is desirable and fastening is accomplishedby pressing the m
7、ating strips together and separation isaccomplished by simply peeling apart. Terms herein referringto hook and loop fastening systems shall be construed toinclude other types of touch fasteners in which the fasteningstrength in the shear mode (that is, against forces applied in theplane of the faste
8、ner) substantially exceeds the fasteningstrength in the peel mode (that is, against forces appliedperpendicular to the planes of the two components of thefastener).3.1.2 shear strength, nthe resistance to forces that cause,or tend to cause, two contiguous parts of a body to sliderelatively to each o
9、ther in a direction parallel to their plane ofcontact.3.2 For definitions of other textile terms used in this testmethod, refer to Terminology D123.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 An area of hook surface is applied to an area of loopsurface with controlled engagement pressure. This combina-tion is subj
10、ected to a dynamic shear force acting parallel to thesurfaces of the specimens.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method gives a measure of a key property ofhook and loop touch fasteners which is of interest to users ofsuch devices. This is a means of determining the resistance toseparation when f
11、orces are applied parallel to the plane of thefastener.5.2 In the case of a dispute arising from differences inreported test results when using this test method for acceptancetesting of commercial shipments, the purchaser and the sup-plier should conduct comparative tests to determine if there isa s
12、tatistical bias between their laboratories. Competent statis-tical assistance is recommended for the investigation of bias.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D13 on Textilesand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D13.54 on Subassemblies.Current edition approved Ju

15、ible and which arefrom a lot of hook and loop of the type in question. The testspecimens should then be randomly assigned in equal numbersto each laboratory for testing. The average results from the twolaboratories should be compared using Students t-test and anacceptable probability level chosen by
16、 the two parties beforethe testing began. If a bias is found, either its cause must befound and corrected or the purchaser and the supplier mustagree to interpret future test results in the light of the knownbias.6. Apparatus6.1 Rollerconsisting of a smooth steel surface, approxi-mately 434 in. (21
17、mm) in diameter, 214 in. (57 mm) wide, andequipped with a handle, length 418 in. (105 mm), for propellingthe roller back and forth without adding additional weight tothe specimen being rolled (see Fig. 1). The weight of the roller(including the handle) is 11 lbs. 614 lb (4994 6 114 g).6.2 Testing Ma
18、chineA constant rate of extension (CRE)tensile tester shall be used. The tester shall have two clampswith centers in the same plane, parallel to the direction of themotion of the stressing clamp, and so aligned that they willhold the specimen ends wholly in the same plane; a means ofmoving the stres
19、sing clamp at a uniform rate of 12.0 6 0.5in./min (305 6 13 mm/min); an autographic device for record-ing the maximum load.6.2.1 The instrument shall be calibrated to an accuracy of1.0 % of the full scale and the scale range used for the test shallbe such that the main test falls within 20 to 80 % o
20、f full range.7. Sampling7.1 Select the test samples so as to be as representative ofthe unit (a shipment, a lot, and so forth.) as possible.7.2 LotA lot shall consist of all the material of the sametype, color and width, made at the same time from the samematerials in no more than a two week period.
21、 It shall beexpressed in linear units of 10 000 yards (9144 m).7.3 Sample RollsSelect one roll randomly from eachlinear unit 10 000 yards (9144 m). If the lot does not containfive units, additional rolls shall be selected from the lot to givea sample size of five rolls.7.4 For specification purposes
22、, the material under test mustbe mated with material supplied by the manufacturer of thematerial being tested.8. Specimen Preparation8.1 Hook and loop material for this test shall be in the widthas supplied, not to exceed 1 in. (25.4 mm) in width. Formaterials greater than 1 in. (25.4 mm), the mater
23、ial shall be slitto 1 in. (25.4 mm) in width. If material is less than 1 in. (25.4mm) wide as tested, test results will not be directly propor-tional to those obtained with the 1 in. (25.4 mm) wide material.8.1.1 Remove the outer lap of each roll before selecting therequired number of strips, hook a
24、nd loop, 4 in. 614 in.(102 6 6 mm) long.8.1.2 Each specimen is marked with an arrow () pointingin the direction that the specimen is unwound from the roll.This arrow is marked on the specimen on the leading end as itis unwound from the roll. The arrow () indicates the directionof the hooks and loops
25、 of the specimens.8.1.3 Select the sample consisting of the four (4) contiguousspecimens as described in 8.1.1 and mark it with the appropri-ate identification (roll number, lot number, date, and so forth).There are four (4) possible direction configurations of closureas shown in Fig. 2. The four sp
26、ecimens of hook and loopselected will be used to characterize the shear strength of eachof the configurations.9. Conditioning9.1 Condition the specimens in an atmosphere for testing of23 6 2C (73.4F 6 3.6F) and 50 6 5 % relative humidity asdescribed in Practice D618 for a period of 24 h or until the
27、specimens reach moisture equilibrium. Lay specimens flat withthe functional side up so that the conditioning atmosphere hasfree access to them.10. Procedure10.1 Select from the four (4) specimens of hook and loop,the first closure to be tested and referring to Fig. 2, prepare thefirst closure specim
28、en with the marked arrows as shown inSequence 1.FIG. 1 Roller for Making Closure of Hook and Loop TouchFasteners Prior to TestingFIG. 2 Test Configurations for Dynamic Shear Strength of Hookand Loop Fasteners (Not to Scale)D5169 98 (2010)2NOTE 1The reason for testing all four possible closure config
29、urationsis that the hook or loop material, or both, may have directionality (that is,the hooks or loops may not be perpendicular to the base fabric of whichthey are a component), and affect the shear force.10.1.1 Carefully align and superimpose the hook strip overthe loop strip so that the hook stri
30、p covers the loop strip and themarked ends are matched as shown in Fig. 2, Sequence 1.10.1.2 Place a flat steel plate 8 in. (20 cm) long and 112 in.(4 cm) wide and weighing 4 pounds (1814 gm) (approximatelyequivalent to12 lbs per in.2of closure) onto the closure,completely covering it, slowly, and w
31、ithout adding any handpressure. After 2 s remove the plate. This initial mating of theclosure is done to create just enough hook and loop engage-ment so as to be able to continue with the test procedure.10.1.3 Securely fasten the two ends of the mated hook andloop to a hard flat surface such as a me
32、tal plate, table top, andso forth using masking tape, staples, clamps, hook and loopstraps, or the like.10.1.4 Push the roller without adding weight over the entirelength of the joined strips and then pull it back over the entirelength. This constitutes one cycle; a continuous uninterruptedback and
33、forth motion of the roller, without lifting it from thematerial. Each cycle should take about 2 s.10.1.4.1 Perform five (5) cycles with the roller withoutlifting it from the material. Remove the specimen from theholder.10.2 Prepare the second closure specimen as described in10.1.1-10.1.4.1 except wi
34、th the marked ends as shown inSequence 2 of Fig. 2.10.3 Prepare the third closure specimen as described in10.1.1-10.1.4.1 except with the marked ends as shown inSequence 3 of Fig. 2.10.4 Prepare the fourth closure specimen as described in10.1.1-10.1.4.1 except with the marked ends as shown inSequenc
35、e 4 of Fig. 2.10.5 In the sequence in which the closure specimens wereprepared, select them for testing in the tensile tester.10.6 Position the clamps of the tensile tester so they are3 618 in. (76 6 3 mm) apart. Place the free ends of thespecimen to be tested in the clamps of the tester with the ho
36、okstrip in the moving clamp. The mated specimen should beapproximately centered and aligned approximately perpen-dicular to the clamps. Use a clamp separation speed of12.0 612 in./min (305 6 12 mm/min).10.7 Observe the chart paper produced by the autographicrecorder. Make note on the recording chart
37、 of the test specimennumber and the sequence number from diagram 2.10.8 Record the force (maximum load) required to separatethe hook and loop closure.11. Calculation11.1 Convert the force (maximum load) to separate the 2 in.overlap of closure to lb per in.2(a psi).11.2 Calculate the average force (m
38、aximum load) of thesample from the four (4) specimens tested.12. Report12.1 Report the following information:12.1.1 State that the specimens were tested as directed inASTM Test Method D5169.12.1.2 Describe the material or product sampled (includingtype, color, source and manufacturers code or part n
39、umber),12.1.3 The width of the material tested and whether thewidth was as supplied or slit down to 1 in. (25.4 mm) asrequired in 8.1,12.1.4 The shear strength as the average separation force(maximum load) of each sample in lbs per in.2to the nearest lbper in.2(psi).13. Precision and Bias13.1 Precis
40、ionBased on limited testing from one labora-tory, the within-laboratory or repeatability standard deviation isabout 2.51 lb or the coefficient of variation is about 0.07.Repeatability is dependent on the specific material beingtested: some materials would be expected to be higher or lowerthan this.
41、Between-laboratory reproducibility is being deter-mined by the subcommittee.13.2 BiasThe procedure in Test Method D5169 for mea-suring the shear strength of hook and loop touch fasteners hasno bias because the value of the shear strength of hook andloop touch fasteners can be determined only in term
42、s of a testmethod.14.
