1、Designation: D 5171 09aStandard Test Method forImpact Resistance of Plastic Sew-Through Buttons1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5171; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.
2、A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of impactresistance of plastic sew-through buttons.1.2 The values stated in either acceptab
3、le metric units orother units shall be regarded separately as standard. The valuesexpressed in each system may or may not be exact equivalents:therefore, each system must be used independently of the other,without combining values in any way.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesa
4、fety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Test Method4.1 Individual buttons are placed on a surface centeredunder a tube through which a
9、 preselected mass falls from apreselected height. After the mass impacts the button theimpacted button is removed and visually examined using a 5Xmagnifying glass for breakage, cracking, or chipping.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method may be used to determine the ability ofa button to resist
10、 breaking under impact, for example inpressing the end item, which could cause the button to fail.NOTE 1In the development of this test method it was found that thefollowing factors influenced the ability of a button to resist failure underimpact conditions: resin formulation, shape ligne size, thic
11、kness, numberand spacing of holes. Buttons may also pass this test but fail during thepressing of a garment due to the presence of heat during pressing.5.1.1 If there are differences of practical significance be-tween the reported test results for two laboratories (or more),comparative tests should
12、be performed to determine if there isa statistical bias between them, using competent statisticalassistance. As a minimum, test samples should be used that areas homogeneous as possible, that are drawn from the materialfrom which the disparate rest results were obtained, and thatare randomly assigne
13、d in equal numbers to each laboratory fortesting. Other materials with established test values may beused for this purpose. The test results from the two laboratoriesshould be compared using a statistical test for unpaired data, ata probability level chosen prior to the testing series. If a bias isf
14、ound, either its cause must be found and corrected, or futuretest results must be adjusted in consideration of the knownbias.5.2 Test Method D 5171 for the determination of the impactresistance of buttons may be used for acceptance testing ofcommercial shipments of buttons but caution is advisable s

Apparatus6.1 Impact Resistance Testing MachineThe impact resis-tance tester consists of a tube through which a plunger ofstandard mass drops onto the button from a predeterminedheight. The button is centrally posit
18、ioned based on ligne size,by means of a locating jig, on a flat metal surface. The energyof impact is determined by the mass of the plunger and theheight of the drop.6.2 Magnifying Glassa 5X magnifying glass is used tovisually examine the buttons after impact.6.3 Measuring Devicemeasuring calipers o
19、r micrometer,to determine the ligne size of buttons.7. Sampling7.1 Laboratory SampleAs a laboratory sample, randomlyselect a quantity of buttons, approximately 100 to 200, from aFIG. 1 Impact-Resistance TesterD 5171 09a2carton and from contained boxes, that adequately representsthe material, from wh
20、ich test specimens may be selected.7.2 Test SpecimensRandomly select 15 buttons from thelaboratory sample for testing. If test specimens are submittedfor preproduction approval, testing 1 dozen buttons is accept-able.8. Conditioning8.1 Condition the specimens as directed in Practice D 618using proce
21、dure E. Following conditioning, prepare the speci-mens for testing as instructed in 9.4 of practice D 618.Preconditioning is not required.9. Procedure9.1 Determine Button Ligne SizeUse a button gauge (Fig.2), a set of calipers or micrometer to measure the outside widthof the button at the widest poi
22、nt. If your measuring tool is inMM, divide the diameter by 0.635, then record the ligne size inthe nearest whole number.9.2 Standard button sizes are: 12L, 14L 16L 18L 20L 22L24L 28L 30L 32L 34L 36L 40L 42L 44L 48L 54L 60L 70L;other sizes can be achieved by cutting them to specificspecifications.9.3
23、 Determine Impact ResistancePlace specimen in cen-tering device for ligne size of button so it lies at the center ofthe vertical tube. Allow the mass to fall from a predeterminedand reproducible height onto the button. Lift the mass andremove the specimen from the metal base.10. Evaluation10.1 Visua
24、lly examine the tested specimens with a 5Xmagnifying glass for cracking, chipping, and breakage, any ofwhich constitutes damage. Test the remaining specimens.11. Report11.1 State that the specimens were tested as directed in TestMethod D 5171. Describe the material or product sampled.11.1.1 Total nu

Precision and Bias12.1 No information is presented about either the precisionor bias of th
