Any material, portions of components, and composites defined by this specification that have
11、 been treated, modified or reformulated to conform to Flammability Lot Sampling Plan of Ford Laboratory Test Method BN 024-02, regardless of maximum burn rate, must be evaluated for both permanency of materials flame retardant properties and changes in mechanical, chemical and physical properties pe
12、r ESB-M25P3-A applicable to the basic material category of this particular specification. 3.9 ENVIRONMENTAL AGING Upon completion of each of the following environmental aging tests (3.9.2, 3.9.3, 3.9.4), the fabrics shall meet 85% of the requirements for elongation, air permeability, and coating adh
13、esion as specified in the individual material specification. In addition, the material after aging shall retain 75% of the original unaged value for breaking strength, trapezoid tear strength, tongue tear strength, and burst strength. Also, the stiffness value for the material after aging shall chan
14、ge no more than 25% of the original value. 3.9.1 Conditioning The materials shall be conditioned per section 3.1 prior to conducting any test after aging. 3.9.2 Heat Aging 21 days at 102 C. 3.9.3 Cycle Aging Three cycles ENGINEERING MATERIAL SPECIFICATION ESB-M15P16-A Copyright 2013, Ford Global Tec
