Significance and Use5.1 A measurement of a fabrics edgecomb resistance indicates the relative tendency of a fabric to pull apart under seam stressor similar action. The related concepts of yarn slippag
15、e and seam slippage are limited to sewn seams, whereas the measurementof edgecomb resistance is made at the edge of a cut part in the absence of a sewn seam. The absence of a sewn seam in this testmethod eliminates the effect that a particular stitch might have on the tendency of a yarn to slip near
16、 an edge of a cut part5.2 This test method is useful for material design evaluations in such applications as airbags in which seam stress is a majorconcern.5.3 This method may be used as a complement to Test Method D5822.6. Apparatus6.1 Tensile Testing MachineA constant-rate-of-extension (CRE) type,
17、 that is designed for the tensile forces anticipated, thatis operated at a rate of 200 6 10 mm/min, that has a force range selected such that the anticipated break occurs between 10 and90 % of full scale load, and that has jaws and grip faces as agreed upon by purchaser and supplier.6.2 Clamps, jaws
18、 with smooth, flat, parallel faces a minimum of 60 mm wide by 25 mm tall. The jaws may be padded or coatedunder the jaw face area and should be mounted in the upper position in the tensile testing machine.6.3 Fixture, compatible with tensile tester, equipped with twelve equally spaced 1 mm diameter
19、pins with sharp points, 8 mmin length and corresponding 1.5 mm diameter holes with a stop located 5 mm from the center of the holes (Fig. 1). The fixtureshould be properly centered with the upper clamps and their surfaces should be aligned (not twisted).6.4 Load Cell, whose rated capacity is between
20、 110 and 1000 % of expected stripping load. A2000 N load cell is generally usedfor inflatable restraints.6.5 For inflatable restraints, all test equipment used in accordance with this test method shall be certified for calibration annuallyby an independent agency or equipment manufacturer whose resu
21、lts are traceable to National Institute of Science and Technology(NIST) or other national standards laboratory. The test parameters of the equipment shall be tested within the operating rangescovered in the cushion specification or equivalent document.FIG. 1 FixtureD6479 1527. Sampling and Specimen
22、Preparation7.1 Edgecomb resistance testing is a destructive test. If used in conjunction with lot testing, sampling is required.7.2 For acceptance testing the lot size is the number of rolls of fabric produced in one production day, or as specified in theapplicable material specification.7.3 From th
23、e end of each roll of fabric taken from the lot sample, cut a 1 m long, full width sample of fabric.7.4 From the laboratory sample, select five test specimens each from the warp and fill directions (Fig. 2).7.5 Without sealing or unraveling the edges, cut each specimen 5061 mm wide and 30065 mm long
24、, with the long dimensionparallel to the warp yarns for a warp-oriented test, and parallel to the fill yarns for a fill-oriented test.Specimen Cut:7.5.1 Cut Edge Method:7.5.1.1 Without sealing or unraveling the edges, cut each specimen 50 6 1 mm wide and 300 6 5 mm long, with the longdimension paral
25、lel to the warp yarns for a warp-oriented test, and parallel to the fill yarns for a fill-oriented test.7.5.2 Ravel Edge Method:7.5.2.1 Cut each specimen 60 6 1 mm wide and 300 6 5 mm long, with the long dimension parallel to the warp yarns for awarp-oriented test, and parallel to the fill yarns for
26、 a fill-oriented test.7.5.2.2 Ravel each specimen to give a testing width of 50 6 1 mm wide by removing an approximately equal number of yarnsfrom each side.7.6 A final cut should be made to the edge that is inserted into the edgecomb fixture to ensure a continuous full yarn is present.8. Conditioni
27、ng8.1 Specimens for edgecomb resistance testing shall be conditioned at the standard atmosphere for testing textiles for at least4 h prior to test in accordance with Test Method D1776.FIG. 2 Test SpecimensD6479 1539. Procedure9.1 Prepare the tensile testing machine in accordance with Test Method D50
28、35.9.2 Set the gage length between the bottom edge of the upper clamp to the top surface of the edge comb fixture to 200 6 1 mm.9.3 Select the force range of the testing machine for the break to occur between 10 and 90 % of full-scale force. Calibrate orverify the testing machine for this range.9.4
29、Set the testing machine for a loading rate of 200 6 10 mm/min.9.5 Ensure proper clamping as directed by Test Method D5035.9.6 Mount one end of the specimen into the bottom clamp position of the edgecomb fixture, ensuring that the end of thespecimen abuts flatly and evenly against the alignment block
30、, parallel to and behind the pinholes.9.7 Pierce the end of the specimen with the 12 1.0 mm pins and secure the hinge.9.8 Mount the opposite end of the specimen securely in the opposite clamp of the testing machine in accordance with TestMethod D5035. Ensure that the specimen is not pulled and the y
31、arns displaced. Ensure specimen alignment is adjusted to presenta 90 angle where the specimen intersects the grip or fixture, or both.9.9 Operate the machine and break the specimen in accordance with Test Method D5035.9.10 Record the breaking force separately for both the warp and fill directions. D
