A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONCut resistance is an important property for protective clothing and
3、 equipment, and several standardtesting devices have been adopted across different industries to measure this property. A commonpractice in cut resistance testing is to subject a material specimen to a transversely moving blade underan applied load and measure the distance of blade travel required t
4、o cut through the specimen. Thistest method calculates the load required to cut through different specimens at 25.4 mm 1 in. bladetravel. This calculated load, defined as a rating the calculated cutting load, can be used to compare thecut resistance of materials.The original F1790-97 test method def
5、ined a commercially-available apparatus known as the CutProtection Performance Tester (CPP). In an attempt to harmonize F1790/F1790M with ISO1399613997 (another international testing standardsstandard for measuring cut resistance) andimprove the test method, the scope of the test method was changed
6、in F1790-05 to allow the use ofother cut testing equipment, specifically the Tomodynamometer (TDM-100) and a modification to theCPP arm called the Modified CPP (mCPP). The revision addressed issues related to measurement ofhigh frictional coefficient materials like elastomers, specimen mounting, rat
7、ing calculated cutting loadcalculation,determination, and other procedures to harmonize with ISO 13997:1999. After furtherround-robin evaluation by the subcommittee, it was demonstrated that the revisions to the test methodresult in a bias between the original F1790-97 test method and the revised F1
8、790-05 test method whenusing the CPP. F1790-05 was not widely adopted in North America because of this bias and largeamount of data and experience accumulated with F1790-97. F1790-97 continues to be the test methodpredominately practiced when using the CPP device. To reduce confusion for end-users o
9、fF1790/F1790M and to allow for differences between testing devices, the subcommittee has decided tolimit the scope of F1790/F1790M to include only the CPP device and createcreated a separate testmethod for use of the TDM-100.TDM-100 (Test Method F2992/F2992M).1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the
10、measurement of the cut resistance of a material when mounted on a mandrel and subjected toa cutting edge under a specified load using the Cut Protection Performance (CPP) Tester.1.1.1 This procedure is not valid for high-porosity materials which allow cutting edge contact with the mounting surface p
11、riorto cutting.1.1.2 Test apparatus may have limitations in testing materials with a thickness greater than 3 mm or having a high frictionalcoefficient such as elastomers.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each
12、system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is
13、the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.1 This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F23 on Personal Protective Clothing and Equipment and is the direct

Significance and Use5.1 This test method assesses the cut resistance of a material when exposed to a cutting edge under specified loads. Dataobtained from this test method can be used to compare the cut resistance
31、of different materials.5.2 This test method only addresses that range of cutting hazards that are related to a cutting action by a smooth sharp edgeacross the surface of the material. It is not representative of any other cutting hazard to which the material may be subjected suchas serrated edges, s
32、aw blades or motorized cutting tools. Nor is it representative of puncture, tear, or other modes of fabric failure.6. Apparatus6.1 Test PrincipleThe principle of the cut test is to measure the distance traveled by a cutting edge as it is maintained undera load during the test.The cut test apparatus
33、consists of the following primary components (see Fig. 1): (A) a pivoting motor-drivenbalance arm to hold the cutting edge and to which the load is applied, (B) a cutting edge; and (C) a fixed supporting mandrel onwhich the specimen is to be mounted. The apparatus should propel the cutting edge acro
34、ss the specimen until sufficient work isapplied to cause the specimen to cut through.FIG. 1 Schematic of Cut Test PrincipleF1790/F1790M 1536.2 CPP Test Apparatus4The CPP test apparatus (see Fig. 2) consists of a motor-drivenMotor-driven balance arm (A) thatholds the cuttingCutting edge (B) in contac
35、t with the specimen mounted on a fixedFixed supporting mandrel (C). The balance armis connected to the motorMotor using a drive wheel (D) and a connectionConnection arm assembly (E). The diameter of the drivewheel is 50.8 mm 2.0 in., and the distance between the center of the drive wheel and attachm
36、ent point of the pivotConnectionarm assembly is 25.4 mm 1.0 in. resulting in a maximum linear displacement of 50.8 mm 2.0 in. for the balance arm and cuttingedge. Cutting edge displacement is measured by a distanceDistance meter (F) attached to the motor driven balance arm and pivotarm assembly that
37、 is capable of measuring to 0.1 mm 0.004 in. Weights are placed on a pivoting leverLever arm assembly (G)to generate the load needed to penetrate the moving edge into the specimen and produce a cut through. The location of the weighton the lever arm will determine the resulting load. Weights placed
38、on the location (G1) closest to the arm pivot (G1) will resultin a load equal to the applied weight. Weights place on the location furthest (G2) from the pivot (G2) will result in a load twicethat of the applied weight. The apparatus must be capable of loads ranging from 10 g 0.35 oz to 15 kg 33 lb.
39、Lever armcounterweight adjustment (H) is used to balance the arm prior to adding weight to the lever arm.6.2.1 Cutting SpeedActionThe apparatus shall propel the cutting edge across the specimen at an average speed of 4.2 mm/s0.17 in./s.motor and drive wheel must be set to rotate at 5.0 6 0.25 rpm. T
40、he distance from the center point of the motor anddrive wheel to the pivot point of the connection arm is 25.4 mm 1.0 in.NOTE 1Since the cutting edge is propelled by a rotating drive wheel, the resulting vertical speed is not constant during the test. The speed rangesfrom 0 mm/s at the start of the
41、test, then reaching a maximum of 14 mm/s at the midpoint of the during the test, and then decreases back to 0 mm/s bythe end of the test. The average speed blade during the test is thus 4.2 mm/s 0.17 in./s as calculated using the equation for angular velocity.6.2.2 Cut Through DetectionCut through i
