Summary of Test

21、Method4.1 An apparatus having a guided dropping platen capable of having variable mass, inputs a dynamic force into a test specimenplaced on a rigid impact surface at a predetermined impact velocity that equates to a free fall drop height.An accelerometer rigidlymounted to the dropping platen and co

22、nnected to a data acquisition system records the shock experienced (acceleration-timehistory) during the impact on the test specimen. By changing the variables, such as impact velocity, static loading (dropping platenmass), and the number of test impacts for any given test, dynamic shock cushioning

23、characteristics (cushion curves) of thepackaging material can be developed.5. Significance and Use5.1 Dynamic cushioning test data obtained by this test method are applicable to the cushioning material and not necessarily thesame as obtained in a package. In addition to the influence of the package,

24、 the data can also be affected by the specimen area,thickness, loading rate, and other factors.6. Apparatus6.1 Testing Machine:6.1.1 Any guided vertical drop testing system that will produce test conditions conforming to the requirements specified in thissection is acceptable. The system shall consi

25、st of a rigid flat faced dropping platen, a rigid flat impact surface whose face is parallelto the dropping platen face.NOTE 2Lack of rigidity can cause undesirable vibrations in the apparatus that are recorded in the acceleration-time curve. This condition has alsobeen a suspected cause for discont

26、inuities in dynamic data where the mass of the dropping platen is varied at constant height. The existence of flexingin the apparatus often can be verified with aid of high-speed video and subsequently corrected.6.1.2 The dropping platen should have provisions for firmly mounting additional mass to

27、adjust its total mass to a desired value.Its mass may be determined by consideration of the static loading of the items the dynamic test is simulating. Various testingsystems will have different ranges of testing capability, both for drop height and static loadings.6.1.3 All dropping platens are inf

28、luenced by guide system friction and air resistance.The significance of these effects varies withthe type of apparatus and the mass on the dropping platen. For this reason, the equivalent free fall impact velocity of the droppingplaten is equated to a free fall drop height rather than an actual plat

29、en drop height. (ExampleUsing the formula in 11.2, a 30 in.(0.7 m) free fall is equated to a 152 in./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 reaction mass. The reaction mass shall be sufficiently heavy and rigid so thatno

30、t more than 2 % of the impact acceleration is lost to the reaction mass while conducting dynamic tests. The rigid impact surfaceshould be in intimate contact with the reaction mass so that the two bodies move as one (surface preparation or grouting may berequired). This performance may be verified b

31、y using shock sensors, one located on the dropping platen and one on the impactsurface or on the reaction mass immediately next to the impact surface to measure the acceleration levels.The ratio of the measuredimpact acceleration of the reaction mass divided by the measured acceleration of the dropp

32、ing platen shall be equal to or less than2 %.D1596 1426.2.2 As an alternative to measuring the acceleration level of the reaction mass for each test condition, the reaction mass isacceptable if it is 50 times the maximum mass of the dropping platen. Neither the depth nor the width of such a mass sha

33、ll be lessthan half the length.6.3 Instrumentation and Shock Sensors:6.3.1 Instrumentation is required to measure the impact velocity to an accuracy of 62 % of the true value.6.3.2 Accelerometers, signal conditions, and data storage apparatus are required to monitor acceleration versus time historie

34、s.The instrumentation systems shall have the following minimum properties:6.3.2.1 Frequency response range from 2 Hz or less to at least 1000 Hz.6.3.2.2 Accuracy reading to be within 65 % of the actual value.6.3.2.3 Cross axis sensitivity less than 5 % of full scale.7. Sampling7.1 The choice of samp

35、ling plans for materials depends on the purpose of the testing. Practice E105 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 E122 and many statistical tests

36、 provide excellent guidance on the choice ofsample size. It is recommended that at least three replicate test specimens be used for each initial test condition. Then, dependingon the accuracy and degree of certainty required, this sample size may be increased or decreased.7.3 Randomization of test s

37、pecimens from the sample of material and randomization of the order of testing are recommended.This may be accomplished by the use of random number tables, lottery, or other accepted procedures of randomization.8. Test Specimens8.1 Test specimens shall be right square prisms or other configuration a

38、s desired with the maximum length and widthdimensions less than the corresponding drop platen dimensions. It is recommended that the minimum length and width dimensionsbe 4 by 4 in. (101.6 by 101.6 mm). Because pneumatic effects and buckling properties of cushioning materials may be influencedby siz

39、e and shape of the specimen, 8 by 8 in. (203.2 by 203.2 mm) specimens are recommended whenever possible. Whencomparing data for different cushions, identically shaped specimens should be used.NOTE 3Not all test apparatus are able to provide static loadings across the usable range of all possible mat

40、erials to be tested. For this reason it isimportant to prominently note the sizes of specimens tested in the test report.9. Conditioning9.1 Materials, such as cellulosic materials, that undergo changes in physical properties as the temperature and the relativehumidity to which they are exposed are v

41、aried need to be preconditioned in accordance with Practice D4332. For polymericcushions, condition test specimens prior to test for a sufficient length of time to essentially achieve and maintain equilibrium inaccordance with any requirements. In the absence of other requirements, use standard cond

42、itioning atmosphere of 236 23 6 2C(73.4 6 3.6F) and 50 6 2 % relative humidity.10. Procedure10.1 DimensionsDetermine measurements for area calculations with an apparatus yielding values accurate to 0.01 in. (0.3mm).10.2 ThicknessLoad top surface of conditioned specimen as furnished or cut, to 0.025

43、psi (17.55 kg/m2). (ExampleSpecimen size of 8 by 8 in. (203.2 by 203.2 mm) = 64 in.2 (41290 mm2); 64 in.2 0.025 psi (41290 mm2 (1 106) 17.55kg/m2 = a load of 1.6 lb (0.725 kg).) After a 30 s interval, and while the specimen is still under 0.025 psi (17.55 kg/m2) load,measure the thickness to the nea

44、rest 0.01 in. (0.3 mm) at the specimen top surface geometric center. As an alternative procedure,average the thickness measurements taken at the four corners of the specimen. Record this value as the specimen thickness. Forodd shapes report where measurements were taken.10.3 Area and MassMeasure the

45、 top surface area of the specimen with apparatus yielding values accurate to 132 in. or 1 mm.Measure the mass of the specimen with apparatus yielding values accurate to 30 g.10.4 Dynamic TestCenter the test specimen on the impact surface face and prepare the dropping platen to strike the cushionon i

46、ts top surface area. Then impact the specimen with a series of five drops at a predetermined static loading and impact velocityin the dynamic tester, allowing a minimum of 1 min between drops. When testing under special conditions, if possible, returnspecimen to the special condition between drops.

47、Do not allow specimen to be out of the special condition for more than 30 min.As an alternative, condition test specimens in the chamber. Place testing machine in chamber, check impact velocity of droppingplaten. Test at temperature, with recording instrumentation outside of chamber. Take a complete

48、 acceleration-time record for eachdrop and measure the impact velocity of the platen just before impact to ensure it is representative of the impact velocity equatedto the desired free drop height. To obtain dynamic data of a general nature for a given cushion, it is necessary to repeat the fivetest

49、 drops on a new specimen varying some condition of test such as static loading, impact velocity, or cushion thickness. As anD1596 143option, upon the completion of the five drops measure the final thickness of the specimen in accordance with the procedure outlinedin 10.2 to determine dynamic set. This test method does not recommend predictive methods to estimate transmitted shocks as theycan have high degrees of error and produce cushion curves with misleading data.311.
