1、Designation: F 1752 96 (Reapproved 2006)An American National StandardStandard Test Method forArchery Bow ComponentCord Material1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 1752; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revis
2、ion, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method establishes the classification and test-ing of cord as a component material used in
3、 the fashioning ofbowstrings.1.2 This test method is not intended to provide informationbeyond any evaluation of the cord material that would deter-mine its fitness for use other than in the fabrication ofcompleted bowstrings.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, i
4、f any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

6、Terminology3.1 bowstring, ncompleted assembly constructed in partfrom multiple strands of cord material lashed at the center andloop ends with serving string materials and used to connect thelimbs of a bow by which to launch an arrow.3.2 cord material, napplied to a variety of natural ormanmade text

Cord material may be of monocord,twisted, cable, or braided construction.3.3 denier, tex, ndirect yarn numbering systems express-ing size of cord material in terms of mass (weight) of unitlength per 9000 m (9842 yd) for denier or 1000 m (1094 yd) fortex.3.4 diameter, nmeasure of the t

10、the pre-stressed original length.3.9 standard condition, ncondition reached by cord ma-terial when in moisture equilibrium with a standard atmosphereof a given temperature and relative humidity.3.10 strength, nmaximum force applied to a cord materialcausing it to break.4. Significance and Use4.1 Thi
11、s test method is intended to provide the user of cordmaterials for bowstrings the basic information for evaluationand procurement.4.2 This test method is not meant to be all inclusive sincespecial circumstances may occur that will dictate the use ofnonconforming procedures for evaluation. Special ci
12、rcum-stances and the requirements they establish cannot be antici-pated totally and, therefore, must be considered on an indi-vidual basis.5.
