Modulusand work-to-break are calculated from the force-elongationcurve. The output of a constant-rate-of-extension (CRE) tensiletesting machine can be co
16、nnected with electronic recording andcomputing equipment, which may be programmed to calculateand print the test results of tensile properties of interest.5. Significance and Use5.1 The levels of tensile properties obtained when testingaramid yarns and tire cords are dependent on the age andhistory
17、of the specimen and on the specific conditions usedduring the test. Among these conditions are rate of stretching,type of clamps, gage length of specimen, temperature andhumidity of the atmosphere, rate of airflow across the speci-men, and temperature and moisture content of the specimen.Testing con
18、ditions accordingly are specified precisely to obtainreproducible test results on a specific sample.5.2 Because the force-bearing ability of a reinforced rubberproduct is related to the strength of the yarn or cord used as areinforcing material, breaking strength is used in engineeringcalculations w
19、hen designing various types of textile reinforcedrubber products. When needed to compare intrinsic strengthcharacteristics of yarns or cords of different sizes or differenttypes of fiber, breaking tenacity is very useful because, for agiven type of fiber, breaking force is approximately propor-tiona
20、l to linear density.5.3 Elongation of yarn or cord is taken into consideration inthe design and engineering of reinforced rubber productsbecause of its effect on uniformity of the finished product andits dimensional stability during service.5.4 The FASE is used to monitor changes in characteristicso
21、f the textile material during the various stages involved in theprocessing and incorporation of yarn or cord into a rubberproduct.5.5 Modulus is a measure of the resistance of yarn or cord toextension as a force is applied. It is useful for estimating theresponse of a textile reinforced structure to
22、 the application ofvarying forces and rates of stretching. Although modulus maybe determined at any specified force, initial modulus is thevalue most commonly used.5.6 Work-to-break is dependent on the relationship of forceto elongation. It is a measure of the ability of a textile structureto absorb
23、 mechanical energy. Breaking toughness is work-to-break per unit mass.5.7 It should be emphasized that, although the precedingparameters are related to the performance of a textile-reinforced product, the actual configuration of the product issignificant. Shape, size, and internal construction also
24、can haveappreciable effect on product performance. It is not possible,therefore, to evaluate the performance of a textile reinforcedproduct in terms of the reinforcing material alone.5.8 If there are differences of practical significance betweenreported test results for two laboratories (or more), c
25、ompara-tive tests should be performed to determine if there is astatistical bias between them, using competent statistical assis-tance. As a minimum, test samples should be used that are ashomogeneous as possible, that are drawn from the materialfrom which the disparate test results were obtained, a
26、nd thatare randomly assigned 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 te
27、sting series. If a bias isfound, either its cause must be found and corrected, or futuretest results must be adjusted in consideration of the knownbias.6. Apparatus6.1 Tensile Testing MachineA single-strand tensile testingmachine of the constant rate of extension (CRE) type. Thespecifications and me
28、thods of calibration and verification ofthese machines shall conform to Specification D76. The testingmachine shall be equipped with an autographic recorder(rectilinear coordinates preferred). It is permissible to usetensile testing machines that have a means for calculating anddisplaying the requir
29、ed results without the use of an auto-graphic recorder. It is also permissible to use automated tensiletesting equipment.6.1.1 ClampsBollard type clamps, in which the specimenis gripped between plane-faced jaws and then makes a partialturn (wrap angle) around a curved extension (or other type ofsnub
30、bing device) of one jaw before passing to the other similarclamp (see Fig. 1). Clamps with a wrap angle of 3.14 rad180 are recommended for yarns with a linear density up to10 000 decitex 9000 denier. For linear densities above 10 000decitex 9000 denier, clamps with a wrap angle of 4.71 rad270 are re
31、quired to prevent slippage.6.1.1.1 Clamps shall grip the test specimen without spuriousslippage or damage to the test specimen which can result in jawbreaks. The clamps shall maintain constant gripping conditionsduring the test by means of pneumatic or hydraulic clamps. Thesurface of the jaws in con
32、tact with the specimen shall be of amaterial and configuration that minimizes slippage and/orspecimen failure in the clamping zone.6.1.2 Gauge LengthThe gauge length shall be the totallength of yarn measured between the clamping point A of thefirst clamp and the point B of the second clamp in the st
33、artingposition (see Fig. 2).6.1.3 Use a crosshead travel rate in mm/min in./min of50 % of the nominal gauge length in millimeters inches of thespecimen for para-aramids; 100 % of the nominal gauge lengthin millimeters inches of the specimen for meta-aramids.7.

Take the yarn from theoutside beam layers unless there is a question or disagreementregarding the shipment; in this case, take the sample only afterremoving yarn from the beam to a radial depth of 6 mm 14 in.or more to minimize the effects of handling and atmosphericchanges that ma
37、y have occurred during shipment or storage.Place each laboratory sampling unit in a moisture-proofpolyethylene bag or other moisture-proof container to protectthe samples from atmospheric changes until ready to conditionthe samples in the atmosphere for testing industrial yarns andtire cords. Take t
38、he number of specimens for testing specifiedfor the specific property measurement to be made.7.2 Cord:7.2.1 Number of Samples and SpecimensThe size of anacceptance sampling lot of tire cord shall be not more than onetruck or rail car load or as determined by agreement betweenthe purchaser and the su
39、pplier. Take samples at random fromeach of a number of cones, tubes, bobbins, or spools within alot to be as representative as possible within practical limita-tions. Make only one observation on an individual package foreach physical property determination. Take the number ofsamples, therefore, tha
40、t will be sufficient to cover the totalnumber of specimens required for the determination of allphysical properties of the tire cord. The recommended numberof specimens is included in the appropriate sections of specifictest methods covered in this standard. Where such is notspecified, the number of
41、 specimens is as agreed upon betweenbuyer and supplier.7.2.2 Preparation of SamplesRemove and discard a mini-mum of 25 m 25 yd from the outside of the package beforetaking the sample or any specimens. If specimens are not takendirectly from the original package, preferably wind the sampleon a tube o
42、r spool by means of a winder using a tension of 56 1 mN/tex 0.05 6 0.01 gf/den. If the sample is collected asa loosely wound package, or in the form of a skein, someshrinkage invariably will occur, in which case, report that theobserved results were determined on a relaxed sample. Usecare in handlin
43、g the sample. Discard any sample subjected toany change of twist, kinking, or making any bend with adiameter less than 10 times the yarn/cord thickness (or diam-eter). Place the sample in a moisture-proof polyethylene bag orother moisture-proof container to protect it from atmosphericchanges until r

Take a sample from at least one roll of fabric perlot. From each
45、 roll of tire cord fabric, take the number ofspecimens as specified in the test method for each property tobe measured.7.3.2 Size of SampleTake a sample equal to the length ofcord between the regular tabby woven at the end of the roll anda special tabby woven a short distance from the end when thero
46、ll of fabric is manufactured. For rolls that do not have aspecial woven tabby, improvise a tabby by the use of gummedtape or strips of cemented fabric applied across a section of thecord fabric to give a tabby sample length at least 0.5-m 18-in.long and at least one tenth of the roll width wide.7.3.
47、3 Preparation of SamplesCut the warp cords of thefabric along the center line of the special tabby for a distanceequal to the width of the sample. If this distance is less than thefull width of the fabric, cut the filling yarns of the sample andof the special and regular tabbies in the direction par
48、allel withthe warp cords. The resulting section of cord fabric is the tabbysample. Attach the tabby sample to a piece of cardboard orfiberboard, the length of which shall be equal to at least thelength of the cord warp between tabbies. Fold the tabbyportions of the sample over each end of the board,
49、 and securethe sample to the board with pressure-sensitive tape or staples.Use care to avoid contact of tape or staples with the area to betested. Handle the sample carefully, and hold it under sufficienttension in the warp direction to prevent the cords from kinking.Discard any specimen subjected to change of twist, kinking, ormaking any bend with a diameter less than 10 times theyarn/cord thickness (or diameter). The board with the samplemay be folded lengthwise and parallel with the warp forconvenience. Place the board with the fabric sample in
