1、Designation: B 428 08Standard Test Method forAngle of Twist in Rectangular and Square Copper andCopper Alloy Tube1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B 428; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year o

2、f last revision. 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 Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This test method establishes the r

3、equirements for thedetermination of the angle of twist in rectangular and squarecopper and copper alloy tube.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 of this standard to establish appro-priate safety

5、ance and Use4.1 The rectangular or square copper alloy tube covered bythis test method may be used in applications in which controlof twist is important to proper fit in final assembly and tominimize rework to bring the tube into compliance. It isrecognized that the amount of twist, in degrees, per

6、incrementof length can change as a result of the weight of the productand its length during measurement.4.2 This test method provides a procedure for measuring thetwist in square and rectangular copper and copper alloy tubesas a measure of the deviation from straightness.4.3 This test method allows

7、the purchaser and supplier ormanufacturer to inspect square and rectangular copper andcopper alloy tube with a standard technique that providesacceptable twist in delivered tubes.5. Apparatus5.1 Horizontal Reference Plane (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) ofsufficient length to support the tube specimen and a

8、 clampingdevice to hold one end of the specimen against the referenceplane.5.2 Transparent Plastic Protractor Segment engraved withangle lines as shown in Fig. 3.5.3 Parallel Face Blocks.6. Test Specimen6.1 The test specimen shall be cut to a length that permitsthe measurement of the angle of twist.

9、7. Procedure7.1 Place the tube specimen lengthwise on the referenceplane. Whenever the specimen has noticeable edgewise curva-ture, place the specimen so that a side having convex curvatureis in contact with the reference plane. Further placementrequirements are as follows:7.1.1 For rectangular tube

10、, place a major outer dimensionside (width side) against the reference plane, as shown in Fig.1.7.1.2 For square tube, having curvature along all edges,place the specimen so that the side with the least convexcurvature is against the reference plane.7.2 Clamp one end of the specimen so that the tube

11、 surface,adjacent to that end and facing the reference plane, will be infirm contact with this plane. Keep the other end of thespecimen free.7.3 Position the protractor segment flush against the freeend of the specimen, as shown in Fig. 2, and measure the totalangle of twist by reading the degrees f

In making this reading, keep the lower edge of the1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee B05 on Copperand Copper Alloys and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee B05.06 onMethods of

Precision

16、and Bias8.1 This test method is unaffected by edgewise curvature ofthe specimen, and the precision for measurement of total angleof twist is 60.5.8.2 This test method has no bias because the values of twistare a direct measurement based on the accuracy of theprotractor and the observation of the ope
