16、4. If the flexural modulus strength results comparing the original and alternate(s) of both before &after retention value averages are statistically similar (using a “difference of means” calculation with a 0.10alpha significants level), the alternate glass fiber is accepted as an equivalent without

17、 additional testing,otherwise, full testing per 1746 Sec 24 for short & long term material properties is required.RATIONALE FOR DECISION:Since UL1746 Sec 20 and Sec 24 are intended to evaluate the completed FRP matrix (resin & fibers) andnot individual components, the identified analysis sequence an

18、d associated test methods have beenconsistently applied by UL in order to determine the equivalence of alternate glass fibers.The fiber comparison (material type, dimensions and content) is an initial equivalence measure of theoriginal vs alternate fibers within the same FRP matrix. The ASTM D790 Fl

19、exural Strength Test of physicalproperties and Difference of Means statistical analysis of both as-received and after boiling has been thebest way to compare different fibers based on established and accepted industry practice. The highernumber of test samples improves the statistical calculations,

20、and the sample boiling simulates expectedsoftening of the resin in the matrix related to liquid exposures over time.If both the construction and performance measures meet the high level of equivalence, and since theglass is highly resistant to chemical change and the previously tested resins have no

21、t changed, additionaltests are not necessary.
