Summary of Test Method4.1 Test specimens are securely mounted on a test apparatus.4.2 A chain saw, of specific characteristic and operating at a designated speed, is brought into contact with the test specimenat specified locations.4.2.1 The cutting action of the saw chain
26、 will achieve one of three results (1) complete cut through, (2) no cut through whilesaw chain continues to run, or (3) complete chain stop.4.3 Data collection of cut resistance and CS50 is measured electronically by means of wires placed on the top and the bottomof the test specimen to measure cut
27、through time, and an electronic means to measure chain speed just prior to contact with testspecimen and after contact is initiated.5. Significance and Use5.1 The purpose of this test method is to provide a measurable criterion of performance defining the level of cut resistance tothe cutting action
28、 of a saw chain provided by foot protective devices.5.2 The protection, which can be demonstrated by the foot protective devices, tested in accordance with this test method, isachieved by (1) the material resisting cutting when put in contact with the moving saw chain; (2) a part of the material bei
29、ng drawnF1458 152into the saw chain and drive mechanism to block the saw chain movement; (3) the materials resisting cutting and absorbingrotational energy so that saw chain speed can be slowed down sufficiently to stop the movement of the saw chain; or (4) anycombination of these.5.3 In case of a d
30、ispute arising from differences in reported test results, when using this test method for acceptance testing ofcommercial shipments, the purchaser and the supplier should perform comparative tests to determine if there is a statistical biasbetween their laboratories. Competent statistical assistance
31、 is recommended for the investigation of bias. As a minimum, the twoparties should take a group of test specimens from the same lot of components to be evaluated. The test specimens should thenbe randomly assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory for testing. If a bias is found, either its cause
32、must be determined andcorrected, or the purchaser and the supplier must agree to interpret future test results in light of the known bias.6.
