22、egradation after the test such as; wrinkling, distortion, delamination, shrinkage, folding, cracking or other changes that will interfere with normal function. 3.8 Water and Splash Resistance. Weigh a production part. Completely immerse the part in water for 1 hr. Remove from the water and let the p
23、art sit in vehicle position for 24 h. Reweigh the part. The part weight shall not have increased more than10% from the original dry weight. 3.9 Laminate Peel Strength. For sandwich or laminated constructions, all layers must meet the minimum peel strength of 750 N/m with cohesive failure of the core
24、. Breaks in the laminate skin are acceptable provided the load at break is 750 N/m minimum. Run the peel tests of the laminated face skins or films at an angle of 90 on a power driven machine with a constant rate of 300 mm/minute jaw separation. Report results for regions of the part designated by G
25、M Engineering. Run the peel test as received, following 3.2.3 Environmental Cycle, 3.2.4 Heat Aging, and 3.2.6 Impact Resistance. Test a minimum of three (3) specimens for each condition.
