18、reword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a tec
19、hnical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters o
20、f electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated
21、to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible fo
22、r identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 3377-1 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 289, Leather, in collaboration with the Physical Test Commission of the International Union of Leather Technologists and Chemists Societies (IUP Commiss
23、ion, IULTCS), in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement). IULTCS, originally formed in 1897, is a world-wide organization of professional leather societies to further the advancement of leather science and technology. IULTCS has three Commissions
24、, which are responsible for establishing international methods for the sampling and testing of leather. ISO recognizes IULTCS as an international standardizing body for the preparation of test methods for leather. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 3377-1:2002), which ha
25、s been technically revised with respect to Figure 1 and Table 1, and also Clauses 6 and 7. ISO 3377 consists of the following parts, under the general title Leather Physical and mechanical tests Determination of tear load: Part 1: Single edge tear Part 2: Double edge tear Copyright European Committe

28、ning the tear strength of leather using a single edge tear. The method is sometimes described as a trouser tear. It is applicable to all types of leather. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the

NOTE For manual evaluation, it is advantageous to use the “large” specimen. 5 Sampling and sample preparation 5.1 Sample in accordance with ISO 2418. From the sample, cut six test piec
36、es in accordance with ISO 2419, three test pieces with the longer side parallel to the backbone and three test pieces with the longer side perpendicular to the backbone. If there is a requirement for more than two hides or skins to be tested in one batch, then only one test piece in each direction n
37、eed be taken from each hide or skin, provided that the overall total is not less than three test pieces in each direction. 5.2 Condition the test pieces in accordance with ISO 2419. 5.3 Measure the thickness of the test pieces in accordance with ISO 2589.

39、amps are at a suitable distance to firmly hold the test piece (e.g. 50 mm). 6.2 Clamp one leg of the test piece in one jaw of the tensile test machine (see Figure 2). Fold the other leg through 180 and clamp in the other jaw. Ensure that the long edges of the test piece are parallel to the testing d
40、irection of the machine. Figure 2 Method of fixing test piece in jaws of the tensile test machine 6.3 Run the tensile test machine until the test piece is torn apart and record the force-extension plot. 6.4 Determine the tear load of the test piece as the arithmetic mean of the forces on the peak tr
41、ace, proceeding in the following way. Divide the peak trace into four equal parts, beginning with the first peak and ending with the last peak. The first part and the last part shall not be used to calculate the mean value. Determine the tear load as the mean value, in newtons, of the two remaining
42、middle subsections. In the electronic evaluation method, all the data points of the force in the middle subsections of the trace are taken into consideration. If the manual calculation method is used, select and note the two highest peaks (maxima) and the two lowest valleys (minima) from each of the
43、 middle subsections (i.e. eight values). Peaks and valleys suitable for calculation are characterized by a 10 % minimum rising and falling of force. Tear load is defined by the arithmetic mean of these values. The use of this evaluation method shall be mentioned in the test report. Depending on the
44、evaluation procedure chosen, a different number of values is taken into consideration as the calculation basis. Consequently, the results of the two calculation methods may differ. Being more precise, the electronic method shall be preferred. In some cases, due to the lack of distinguishable peaks a
45、nd valleys, evaluating the trace can be difficult. Such results shall be rejected and the test repeated. In case of litigation, the tear load shall only be determined using the electronic evaluation method on test pieces with standard dimensions (4.3). 6.5 Repeat 6.2 to 6.4 for other test pieces. Co
