1、Designation: D1610 18Standard Practice forConditioning Leather and Leather Products for Testing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1610; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A

2、 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 practice covers the conditioning of all uni

3、ts andspecimens of leather and leather products prior to testing andthe conditions under which they should be tested. This practicedoes not apply to wet blue.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user

4、of this standard to establish appro-priate safety, health, and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.3 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in th

Summary of Test Method4.1 The conditioning prescribed in this practice is designedto obtain reproducible test results on leather and leatherproducts by the standardization of the relative humidity andtemperature conditions to which the leather or leather

9、 productis subjected prior to and during testing.5. Significance and Use5.1 Temperature and relative humidity have an influence onmany of the physical properties of leather. Depending onenvironmental conditions the moisture content in leather mayvary significantly. Standardized conditioning in part

10、allows forreliable comparisons to be made among different leather andleather products, and among different laboratories.6. Apparatus6.1 Room, in which the standard atmosphere is automati-cally maintained.6.2 PsychrometerEither a sling psychrometer, or a station-ary type psychrometer having the air c

11、irculated over thethermometer bulbs.NOTE 1It is preferable to draw air over the thermometer bulb ratherthan blow air, from a fan source, over them. Heat from the fan may causeerrors in the readings.6.3 ThermometersThe thermometers should conform ap-proximately to the following requirements: range 0

12、to 52C (32to 122 F); graduation 0.2C (0.5F). They should be matchedto within 0.1C (0.25F) throughout the range used. Calibratethermometer in accordance with manufacturers instructions.NOTE 2Under ordinary conditions, an error of 1 % in relativehumidity corresponds to an error of approximately 0.1C (

13、0.2F) in thewet-bulb depression.6.4 Chamber for maintaining 65 % relative humidityArelative humidity of 65 6 2 % at 20 6 2C can be maintainedin a closed space by the use of a saturated solution of certain1This practice is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D31 on Leather andis the direct respon

Appropriate saturatedsalt solutions can be prepared from either pure ammoniumnitrate or pure sodium nitrate.NOTE 3Creeping of the solid phase in the

19、 physical properties of the leather.4A sulfuric acid solution that is 35.6 % by weight (sp. gr.1.270 20C) is satisfactory. It is necessary to check the sp.gr. of this solution from time to time and to restore it to thevalue 1.270 by appropriate additions of water or concentratedsulfuric acid.7. Cali

20、bration7.1 ThermometersThe thermometers used for the determi-nation of the wet- and dry-bulb temperature shall be calibratedagainst a certified standard thermometer and any correctionsfound necessary shall be applied to the readings.NOTE 5Test Method E337 may be used for reference.7.2 Relative Humid

21、ityUse either the sling or the stationarypsychrometer to determine the relative humidity of the condi-tioned atmosphere. In both cases, air circulation rate around thethermometer bulbs should be not less than 10 ft (3 m)/s and theexposure not less than 60 s before readings are taken. Whenusing the s

22、ling psychrometer, readings, especially of the wetbulb, shall be taken as quickly as possible after bringing it torest.7.2.1 Using the wet- and dry-bulb readings, determine therelative humidity from psychrometric tables.3NOTE 6The wet-bulb temperature, Tw, in degrees Celsius correspond-ing to a rela

23、tive humidity of 50 % at a given air temperature, t, in degreesCelsius (dry-bulb) and a given barometric pressure, B, in centimetres ofmercury, may be calculated as follows:Tw5 0.82t 2 2.68 2 0.03 76.2 2 B!

Procedure8.1 Either the prepared test specimen or the unit from whichit is to be cut shall be conditioned.8.2 The conditioning room is to be used for both condition-ing and testing. Suspend each test specimen or

26、unit so that thestandard atmosphere will have free access to all the surfaces.8.3 Time of ConditioningStore the specimens or units inthe standard atmosphere until they reach mass equilibrium.This usually requires from 24 to 75 h, depending on the leatherand its thickness. The specimens shall have re

27、ached equilib-rium when hourly weightings show progressive mass changesnot greater than 0.25 %.8.4 MeasurementsMeasure all dimensions of test speci-mens after conditioning. If the units are conditioned, cut allspecimens from the unit and measure them in the standardatmosphere.9. Report9.1 The report

28、 of results of testing shall be accompanied bya statement as to whether or not the specimens were condi-tioned and tested in the standard atmosphere.10.
