25、 the fabric distortion aftertesting.14.5 Preparation of Specimens:14.5.1 Each test specimen shall be 254-mm (10-in.) longand 152-mm (6-in.) wide, with the length dimension takenparallel to the machine direction of the fabric.14.5.2 Cut five specimens spaced uniformly across thefabric sample. No spec
26、imen shall be taken within 51 mm (2 in.)of any selvage edge of the fabric.14.5.3 Using an indelible marker, mark a 25-mm (1-in.)border from each outside edge, forming a block that will beused for measurement purposes.14.6 ConditioningCondition the test specimens using theprocedures described in Prac

30、14.7.1 Heat the silicone oil to approximately 274C(525F). Place the ladle in the oil to allow it to equilibrate andminimize excessive, rapid cooling of the oil prior to adding tothe test pans.14.7.2 Measure and record the original length and widthmeasurements of the bordered box pattern. Measure alo
31、ng eachline and at a midpoint in both directions to provide foraveraging of the measurements in both directions.14.7.3 Lay an aluminum baking pan on top of the insulationboard.14.7.4 Remove a ladle full of silicone oil, and immerse thethermometer in the oil. When the temperature has dropped to260C (
32、500F), pour quickly into the test pan.14.7.5 Within 3 s after pouring the oil, lay a fabric specimeninto the oil, placing one end in the pan and rolling in theremaining length of the fabric.14.7.6 Take additional pans, and repeat the process de-scribed in 14.7.3 through 14.7.5 for the remaining four
33、specimens.14.7.7 Once cooled to room temperature, remove the fabricspecimen from the test pan and place it on an absorbent towel,dabbing with additional absorbent towels to remove as muchexcess oil as possible.14.7.8 Rate and record the visual distortion and appearancerating of each specimen using A
34、ATCC Test Set No. 128. Anaverage can then be determined for the sample fabric.14.8 Calculation:14.8.1 Remeasure the dimensions of the outlined block foreach specimen as described in 14.7.2. Do not attempt to flattenor straighten the specimen for measurements.14.8.2 Using the initial and final (as te
35、sted) measurementsfor each specimen, determine the percent of shrinkage of thefabric sample as follows:% shrinkage length! 5 100 3initial length 2 final lengthinitial length(1)% shrinkage width! 5 100 3initial width 2 final widthinitial width(2)14.9 Report:14.9.1 State that the tests were performed
36、in accordancewith these specified test methods. Describe the material orproduct evaluated and sampling method used.14.9.2 Record the distortion appearance rating for each testspecimen as determined with AATCC Test Set No. 128, anddetermine the average.14.9.3 The tested fabric will be qualified on a
37、pass/fail basis.If the average visual rating as determined withAATCC Test SetNo. 128 is found to be 4 or 5, the sample is considered to besuitable for application as a hot-applied built-up ply reinforce-ment. The test sample is considered to have failed with a visualrating of 1 to 3.14.9.4 For fabri
38、cs that have passed the requirements givenin 14.9.3, record the percent shrinkage in both directions foreach specimen. Determine the respective averages, and reportthem as that samples percent shrinkage.14.10 Precision and Bias:14.10.1 PrecisionThe precision of the procedure in thistest method is be
39、ing determined.14.10.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference materialto determine the bias for the procedure in this test method ofdetermining the heat distortion/stability of thermoplastic fab-rics for use in hot-applied built-up roofing, no bias statement isbeing made.15.

40、ionInspection shall be in accordance with therequirements of this specification.15.2 Inspection AlternativesAlternative inspection re-quirements shall be determined by and as agreed upon betweenthe purchaser and the supplier.16. Rejection and Resubmittal16.1 Failure to ConformFailure to conform to a
41、ny of therequirements as stated in this specification constitutes groundsfor rejection.16.2 Rejection RedressThe supplier shall have the right toinspect the rejected materials. The supplier and the purchasershall agree to the quantity of rolls deemed unacceptable. Thesupplier shall then have the rig
42、ht to submit the same number ofnew rolls as replacement.17. Packaging and Package Marking17.1 The rolls shall be wrapped or banded securely with asubstantial grade of paper, plastic wrap, or taping that encirclesthe roll in a manner that will prevent slipping or unraveling.17.2 No roll shall contain
43、 more than two pieces, and nomore than 3 % of the rolls in any lot (pallet or shipment) shallcontain two pieces. Pieces represent roll ends that can be (1)individual and loose, (2) adhered, or (3) stitched to appear asone continuous piece. These rolls must be marked clearly witha red tag or other it
44、em to identify the location of the splice.17.3 Unless otherwise specified, each package shall bemarked plainly with the manufacturers or suppliers name,product or brand name, or both, and theASTM designation andtype.18.
