32、cording and reproduction. 2 Object The object of this standard is to list and define the methods of measurement and equipment necessary to determine the mechanical characteristics of magnetic recording tape. It will also enable users of magnetic tapes to compare technical product data of different m
33、anufacturers, produced in accordance with this standard. 3 Standard atmospheric conditions for testing Ambient temperature: 20 5 C Relative humidity: 60 15% The sample roll of tape shall be incubated for24h at the stated conditions before the test is commenced. 4 Information to be supplied by the ma
34、gnetic tape manufacturer Information supplied by the manufacturer shall fall into two distinct categories: a) mandatory information to be clearly shown in the presentation of technical data, indicated by the word “mandatory” on the right-hand side of the page, in this standard; b) optional informati
35、on which may be given at the discretion of the manufacturer, indicated by the word “optional” on the right-hand side of the page, in this standard. 4.1 Recommended form for published data Where data obtained in accordance with this standard or with any other IEC publication form part of publicity ma
36、terial, they should be clearly set apart and should be preceded by the following particulars: i) the number of the appropriate IEC publication; ii) makers name or trade mark; iii) makers type reference and/or description; iv) base material (a generic name is sufficient). 5 Parameters to be measured
37、5.1 Tape width (mandatory) Definition The tape width is the perpendicular distance between its longitudinal edges. Method The width of the tape, covered with a glass, is measured without tension at a minimum of five different positions along the tape using a calibrated microscope or profile projecto
38、r having an accuracy of at least2.54m. Result The tape width is the arithmetical average of the five measurements, and is expressed in millimetres. 5.2 Tape thickness 5.2.1 Total tape thickness (mandatory) Definition The total tape thickness is the overall thickness of the tape, and is composed of b
39、ase thickness, magnetic coating thickness and back coating thickness (if any). Method The total tape thickness shall be measured by means of a micrometer having an accuracy of at least0.54m. Ten measurements shall be made at intervals of approximately1m along the tape length. Result The total tape t
40、hickness is the arithmetical average of the ten measurement results, and is expressed in micrometres. 5.2.2 Magnetic coating thickness (optional) Definition The magnetic coating thickness is the total thickness of the magnetic layer(s) of a tape. Method The magnetic layer(s) shall be removed with a
41、suitable solvent, and the remaining tape thickness measured using a micrometer having an accuracy of at least0.54m. Ten measurements shall be made at intervals of approximately1m along the tape length. Result The magnetic coating thickness is calculated from the difference between the total tape thi
42、ckness (Sub-clause5.2.1) and the arithmetical average of the ten measurement results obtained from this Sub-clause5.2.2. It is expressed in micrometres. 5.2.3 Back coating thickness (optional) Definition The back coating thickness is the total thickness of any coating applied to the tape side opposi
43、te to that carrying the magnetic layer(s). Method The back coating layer shall be removed with a suitable solvent, and the remaining tape thickness measured using a micrometer having an accuracy of at least0.54m.EN 60094-4:1994 4 BSI 03-2000 Ten measurements shall be made at intervals of approximate
44、ly1m along the tape length. Result The back coating thickness is calculated from the difference between the total tape thickness (Sub-clause5.2.1) and the arithmetical average of the ten measurement results obtained from this Sub-clause5.2.3. It is expressed in micrometres. 5.2.4 Base thickness (opt
45、ional) Definition The base thickness is the thickness of the film carrying the magnetic and back coating (if any) layer(s). Method The magnetic and back coating (if any) layer(s) shall be removed with a suitable solvent, and the film thickness measured using a micrometer having an accuracy of at lea
46、st0.54m. Ten measurements shall be made at intervals of approximately1m along the tape length. Result The base thickness is the arithmetical average of the ten measurement results, and is expressed in micrometres. 5.3 Static longitudinal curvature (optional) Definition Static longitudinal curvature
47、is the deviation of one edge of unit length of tape from a straight line. Method Two tape samples are allowed to unroll and assume their natural curvature on a flat surface (seeFigure 2, page8). The flat surface shall consist of an anodized precision base plate mounted at an angle of1 to the horizon
48、tal plane. The surface contains a scale in millimetres and two engraved reference lines of1m in length which are perpendicular to the scale as shown inFigure 2. Theupper end of each reference line is referenced tooneedge of a groove, having the specified width forthe particular type of tape sample.
49、(See IEC Publication94-1: Magnetic Tape SoundRecording and Reproducing Systems, Part1: General Conditions and Requirements, Clause9). Two samples of tape having a length greater than1m are placed in the grooves, clamped and aligned with the reference lines. A precision roller is placed on the zero line and a section of both tapes is formed into a semicircle by hand. Both semicircles of tape are released and at the same time the roller is allowed to move in the direction indicated by the arrow inFigu
