1、Designation: D1814 70 (Reapproved 2015)Standard Test Method forMeasuring Thickness of Leather Units1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1814; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revisio
2、n. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of t
3、he thick-ness of units of all types of leather. It is not suitable formeasuring the thickness of test specimens.1.2 The thickness of leather units may be reported inmillimetres, ounces, or irons. Ounces are generally used whenreferring to the thickness of shoe upper leather. Irons aregenerally used
4、when referring to the thickness of sole leather.(One ounce equals164 in. or 0.0156 in. or 0.396 mm. One ironequals148 in. or 0.0208 in. or 0.53 mm.)1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that ar

Procedure7.1 Leather Other than Sole LeatherPlace the portion ofthe specimen to be measured between the anvil and presser footof the spring-type gage (6.1) in such a manner that thespecimen is in contac
11、t with the whole area of the anvil. Withthe specimen held in this position, compress the thumb lever ofthe gage so that the gage reads approximately 15 oz. Allow thethumb to slide off the lever so that the gage presser foot snapsonto the leather. Read the thickness to the nearest 0.1 mm orestimate i
