Test specimens individually after constantweight is reached and within 10 min upon removal from theconditioning chamber.NOTE 1Laboratory test results indicated that c

10、onditioning tempera-tures may range from 70 to 100 F (21 to 38 C) without significantlyaffecting the results. However, relative humidity is critical.

Flexural Strength (Method A)7.1 Summary of Test MethodFlexural properties of gyp-sum panel products are evaluated by supporting the specimennear the ends and applying a transverse load midway b

16、etweenthe supports.7.2 Significance and UseThis test method covers a pro-cedure for evaluating the ability of gypsum panel products towithstand flexural stresses during handling or use of thematerial. This test method is used to determine compliancewith gypsum panel product specifications. The degre

(356 6 0.41 mm) on centers measured at the pointsof surface contact with the specimen. The supports shall beattached to a plate that shall be rigidly attached to the testappara

19、tus. The supports shall be parallel to each other andperpendicular to the long dimension of the test specimen. Thebearing surface of the end supports shall be on the same planeto ensure contact along the entire bearing surfaces. Supportsshall be not less than 12 in. (305 mm) in length. When a loadis

20、 being applied, the loading bar shall be in contact with the fullwidth of the specimen. The load-bearing surface shall beparallel to the bearing surface of the specimen supports. Thespecimen and supports shall be located so that the vertical axisthrough the center of the load-bearing surface passes

21、throughthe specimen at one half of the specimen width and one half ofthe distance between the supports.7.4 SamplingSampling shall be in accordance with Sec-tion 4.7.5 Test Specimens:7.5.1 Cut four specimens, each 12 in. (305 mm) by approxi-mately 16 in. (406 mm) from each gypsum panel product in the

22、sample, two having the 16-in. dimension parallel to the edgeand two having the 16-in. dimension perpendicular to the edge.Cut the specimens not less than 4 in.

(356 mm) oncenters, and apply the load on a similar bearing midwaybetween the supports. Position perforated gypsum lat

24、h so theload is not applied over perforations.7.6.2 For specimens with the long dimension parallel to theedge, test one specimen from each gypsum panel product faceup and the other face down. For specimens with the longdimension perpendicular to the edge, test one specimen fromeach gypsum panel prod

25、uct face up and the other face down.7.6.3 For gypsum panel products with surfacing material,the load is determined at the time of transverse failure of thesurfacing material and core through the thickness of thespecimen. The specimens shall not show a break in the bondbetween the surfacing and the c

26、ore before transverse failure ofthe gypsum panel product. If a single specimen fails, test twoadditional specimens from the same sample, and, if either oneof the two specimen fail, the sample has failed. For gypsumpanel products without surfacing material, the load is deter-mined at the time of tran

27、sverse failure through the thickness ofthe specimen.7.7 ReportCalculate and report the average breaking loadin pound-force or newtons for each test condition, rounded tothe nearest 1 lbf (N). The test conditions are: (1) parallel, faceup; (2) parallel, face down; (3) perpendicular, face up; and, (4)

29、 punch into the area of test.8.2 Significance and UseThis test method covers a pro-cedure for evaluating the ability of the gypsum panel productcore, ends, and edges to resist crushing during handling or useof the material. This test method is used to determine compli-ance with gypsum panel product

30、specifications. The degree ofcorrelation between these test methods and service perfor-mance has not been determined.8.3 ApparatusSee 6.1.
