Sum

19、mary of Test Method4.1 An apparatus having a guided dropping platen capableof having variable mass, inputs a dynamic force into a testspecimen placed on a rigid impact surface at a predeterminedimpact velocity that equates to a free fall drop height. Anaccelerometer rigidly mounted to the dropping p

20、laten andconnected to a data acquisition system records the shockexperienced (acceleration-time history) during the impact onthe test specimen. By changing the variables, such as impactvelocity, static loading (dropping platen mass), and the numberof test impacts for any given test, dynamic shock cu

21、shioningcharacteristics (cushion curves) of the packaging material canbe developed.5. Significance and Use5.1 Dynamic cushioning test data obtained by this testmethod are applicable to the cushioning material and notnecessarily the same as obtained in a package. In addition tothe influence of the pa

22、ckage, the data can also be affected bythe specimen area, thickness, loading rate, and other factors.6. Apparatus6.1 Testing Machine:6.1.1 Any guided vertical drop testing system that willproduce test conditions conforming to the requirements speci-fied in this section is acceptable. The system shal

23、l consist of arigid flat faced dropping platen, a rigid flat impact surfacewhose face is parallel to the dropping platen face.NOTE 2Lack of rigidity can cause undesirable vibrations in theapparatus that are recorded in the acceleration-time curve. This conditionhas also been a suspected cause for di

24、scontinuities in dynamic data wherethe mass of the dropping platen is varied at constant height. The existenceof flexing in the apparatus often can be verified with aid of high-speedvideo and subsequently corrected.6.1.2 The dropping platen should have provisions for firmlymounting additional mass t

25、o adjust its total mass to a desiredvalue. Its mass may be determined by consideration of thestatic loading of the items the dynamic test is simulating.Various testing systems will have different ranges of testingcapability, both for drop height and static loadings.6.1.3 All dropping platens are inf

26、luenced by guide systemfriction and air resistance. The significance of these effectsvaries with the type of apparatus and the mass on the droppingplaten. For this reason, the equivalent free fall impact velocityof the dropping platen is equated to a free fall drop heightrather than an actual platen

27、 drop height. (ExampleUsing theformula in 11.2, a 30 in. (0.7 m) free fall is equated to a 152in./s (3.9 m/s) impact velocity of the dropping platen.)6.2 Reaction Mass:6.2.1 The testing machine shall be attached to a reactionmass. The reaction mass shall be sufficiently heavy and rigid sothat not mo

28、re than 2 % of the impact acceleration is lost to thereaction mass while conducting dynamic tests. The rigidimpact surface should be in intimate contact with the reactionmass so that the two bodies move as one (surface preparationor grouting may be required). This performance may beverified by using

29、 shock sensors, one located on the droppingplaten and one on the impact surface or on the reaction massimmediately next to the impact surface to measure the accel-eration levels. The ratio of the measured impact acceleration ofthe reaction mass divided by the measured acceleration of thedropping pla

30、ten shall be equal to or less than 2 %.6.2.2 As an alternative to measuring the acceleration levelof the reaction mass for each test condition, the reaction massis acceptable if it is 50 times the maximum mass of thedropping platen. Neither the depth nor the width of such a massshall be less than ha

31、lf the length.6.3 Instrumentation and Shock Sensors:6.3.1 Instrumentation is required to measure the impactvelocity to an accuracy of 62 % of the true value.6.3.2 Accelerometers, signal conditions, and data storageapparatus are required to monitor acceleration versus timehistories. The instrumentati

32、on systems shall have the followingminimum properties:6.3.2.1 Frequency response range from 2 Hz or less to atleast 1000 Hz.6.3.2.2 Accuracy reading to be within 65 % of the actualvalue.6.3.2.3 Cross axis sensitivity less than 5 % of full scale.7. Sampling7.1 The choice of sampling plans for materia

33、ls depends onthe purpose of the testing. Practice E 105 is recommended.7.2 The number of test specimens for each condition of test(for example, static loading) depends on the desired degree ofprecision and the availability of materials. Practice E 122 andmany statistical tests provide excellent guid

34、ance on the choiceof sample size. It is recommended that at least three replicatetest specimens be used for each initial test condition. Then,depending on the accuracy and degree of certainty required,this sample size may be increased or decreased.7.3 Randomization of test specimens from the sample

35、ofmaterial and randomization of the order of testing are recom-mended. This may be accomplished by the use of randomnumber tables, lottery, or other accepted procedures of ran-domization.D 1596 97 (2003)28. Test Specimens8.1 Test specimens shall be right square prisms or otherconfiguration as desire

36、d with the maximum length and widthdimensions less than the corresponding drop platen dimen-sions. It is recommended that the minimum length and widthdimensions be 4 by 4 in. (101.6 by 101.6 mm). Becausepneumatic effects and buckling properties of cushioning mate-rials may be influenced by size and

37、shape of the specimen, 8 by8 in. (203.2 by 203.2 mm) specimens are recommendedwhenever possible. When comparing data for different cush-ions, identically shaped specimens should be used.NOTE 3Not all test apparatus are able to provide static loadings acrossthe usable range of all possible materials

38、to be tested. For this reason it isimportant to prominently note the sizes of specimens tested in the testreport.9. Conditioning9.1 Materials, such as cellulosic materials, that undergochanges in physical properties as the temperature and therelative humidity to which they are exposed are varied nee

39、d tobe preconditioned in accordance with Practice D 4332. Forpolymeric cushions, condition test specimens prior to test for asufficient length of time to essentially achieve and maintainequilibrium in accordance with any requirements. In theabsence of other requirements, use standard conditioningatm

40、osphere of 236 2C (73.4 6 3.6F) and 50 6 2 % relativehumidity.10. Procedure10.1 DimensionsDetermine measurements for area calcu-lations with an apparatus yielding values accurate to 0.01 in.(0.3 mm).10.2 ThicknessLoad top surface of conditioned specimenas furnished or cut, to 0.025 psi (17.55 kg/m2)

41、. (ExampleSpecimen size of 8 by 8 in. (203.2 by 203.2 mm) = 64 in.2(41290 mm2); 64 in.23 0.025 psi (41290 mm24(1 3 106) 3 17.55 kg/m2= a load of 1.6 lb (0.725 kg).) After a30 s interval, and while the specimen is still under 0.025 psi(17.55 kg/m2) load, measure the thickness to the nearest 0.01in. (

42、0.3 mm) at the specimen top surface geometric center. Asan alternative procedure, average the thickness measurementstaken at the four corners of the specimen. Record this value asthe specimen thickness. For odd shapes report where measure-ments were taken.10.3 Area and Mass Measure the top surface a

43、rea of thespecimen with apparatus yielding values accurate to132 in. or1 mm. Measure the mass of the specimen with apparatusyielding values accurate to 30 g.10.4 Dynamic Test Center the test specimen on the impactsurface face and prepare the dropping platen to strike thecushion on its top surface ar

44、ea. Then impact the specimen witha series of five drops at a predetermined static loading andimpact velocity in the dynamic tester, allowing a minimum of1 min between drops. When testing under special conditions, ifpossible, return specimen to the special condition betweendrops. Do not allow specime

45、n to be out of the special conditionfor more than 30 min. As an alternative, condition testspecimens in the chamber. Place testing machine in chamber,check impact velocity of dropping platen. Test at temperature,with recording instrumentation outside of chamber. Take acomplete acceleration-time reco

46、rd for each drop and measurethe impact velocity of the platen just before impact to ensure itis representative of the impact velocity equated to the desiredfree drop height. To obtain dynamic data of a general nature fora given cushion, it is necessary to repeat the five test drops ona new specimen

47、varying some condition of test such as staticloading, impact velocity, or cushion thickness. As an option,upon the completion of the five drops measure the finalthickness of the specimen in accordance with the procedureoutlined in 10.2 to determine dynamic set.11.
