Summary of Practice4.1 Inflatable restraint cushions are tested under laboratoryconditions to evaluate cushion integri

Cushion overpressurizationtesting may be
16、 used for design and production validation, formanufacturing process control, for lot acceptance, or for acombination thereof.5.2 This practice constitutes the conditions, apparatus, andprocedures by which inflatable restraints are commonly testedfor cushion overpressurization. It is intended to be
17、used as aguideline in establishing a cushion specification or equivalentdocument. The practices in the specification may deviate fromthe practices described herein when (based on experience)considerations of equipment, cushion design, or other factorsdictate otherwise.5.3 There exists a large variet
18、y in cushion configurationsand equipment designs, obviating a standard test method forcushion overpressurization. Therefore, a cushion specificationshould incorporate the practices stated herein when describinga test method for testing a specific cushion geometry andapparatus design. To ensure accur
19、acy and repeatability, thespecification should also address precision and bias in amanner consistent with ASTM prescribed procedures andconsistent with the particular cushion geometry, equipment inuse, and test procedures.5.3.1 Sources of variation in cushion overpressurizationtesting procedures inc
20、lude orifice size, attachment fixture,sensor location, method of attachment, presence or absence ofinternal bladder, accumulator size and pressure, transducertype and location, the presence or absence of tethers, presenceor absence of vent plugs, and the accuracy of timing devicesand pressure sensor
21、s. All sources of equipment and proceduralvariation should be addressed in the applicable specification.5.4 In accordance with the applicable specification, cush-ions may be pressurized without bursting to determine theirresistance to a fixed level of high internal pressure, or they maybe subjected

40、ngly recommendedthat testing be done in a separate, sound dampened, roomequipped with ballistic glass and double paned viewing win-dows. Appropriate safeguards, procedures, or electricalinterlocks, or combinations thereof, should be in place toensure no personnel will be in the room with the cushion

Sampling10.1 Cushion overpressurization testing is a destructive testand therefore necessitates sampling procedures if used inconjunction with lot acceptance.10.2 For acceptance testing, the lot size is the quantity ofcushions sewn or produced on one production line in onep
42、roduction day.10.3 Lot SampleFor acceptance testing, take at randomthe number of cushions directed in an applicable cushionspecification or other agreement between purchaser and sup-plier. Consider cushions to be the primary sampling units.10.4 Each cushion in the lot sample is a test specimen.11. E
43、quipment Calibration11.1 For inflatable restraints, all test equipment used inaccordance with this practice shall be certified for calibrationannually by an independent agency or equipment manufacturerwhose results are traceable to the National Institute of Scienceand Technology (NIST) or other nati
44、onal standards laboratory.The test parameters of the equipment shall be tested within theoperating ranges covered in the cushion specification orequivalent document.12. Conditioning12.1 Conditioning of specimens for cushion overpressuriza-tion testing is conducted at the standard atmosphere for test
45、ingtextiles for at least 4 h prior to test. For testing of Side Curtainand other pressure holding cushions, conditioning is optional,as it is recognized that the compressed air source used to inflateand overpressurize the cushions being tested is not condi-tioned.13. Procedures for Testing of Driver
46、 and PassengerCushions13.1 Select and condition cushion specimens in accordancewith Section 10.13.2 If cushion bursting is intended and cushion overpres-surization testing equipment does not provide the required airvolume for bursting, seal the cushion vents with a plug or witha sewn fabric patch ma
47、de of the same material as the cushion.13.3 Mount the cushion specimen on the test fixture, ensur-ing that the retention mechanism does not damage the cushionmaterial, and that the pressure transducer and pickup tube donot interfere with the inflation of the cushion.13.4 Install a protective screen
48、around the test fixture, ifneeded, and if testing is not being done in an isolated room.13.5 Perform all system calibrations.13.6 Verify proper framing rate, camera settings, and light-ing intensity levels, if needed.13.7 Enter the test serial number into recording portions ofthe data acquisition an
49、d video systems.13.8 Confirm the pressure vessel is pressurized sufficientlyto evaluate the cushion under test.13.9 Turn on the warning light before arming the pressur-ization switch.13.10 Initiate the starting sequence and note the response ofthe data acquisition system to verify successful pressurization.13.11 Fill the cushion until it reaches the pre-set internalpressure or until it ruptures, as specified.13.12 Record test measurements such as maximum cushionpressure in kPa (psi), time to maximum cushion pressure inmilliseconds, or the location and nature of the cushion rupt
