1、Designation: D1709 15Standard Test Methods forImpact Resistance of Plastic Film by the Free-Falling DartMethod1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1709; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of l

2、ast 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 U.S. Department of Defense.1.

3、ermination of theenergy that causes plastic film to fail under specified conditionsof impact of a free-falling dart. This energy is expressed interms of the weight (mass) of the missile falling from aspecified height which would result in 50 % failure of speci-mens tested.1.2 Two test methods are de

4、scribed:1.2.1 Test Method A employs a dart with a38.10 6 0.13-mm (1.500 6 0.005-in.) diameter hemisphericalhead dropped from a height of 0.66 6 0.01 m (26.0 6 0.4 in.).This test method may be used for films whose impact resis-tances require masses of about 50 g or less to about 2 kg tofracture them.

5、1.2.2 Test Method B employs a dart with a50.80 6 0.13-mm (2.000 6 0.005-in.) diameter hemisphericalhead dropped from a height of 1.50 6 0.03 m (60.0 + 0.25,1.70 in.). Its range of applicability is from about 0.3 kg toabout 2 kg.1.3 Two testing techniques are described:1.3.1 The standard technique is

6、 the staircase method. Bythis technique, a uniform missile weight increment is employedduring test and the missile weight is decreased or increased bythe uniform increment after test of each specimen, dependingupon the result (fail or not fail) observed for the specimen.1.3.2 The alternative techniq

7、ue provides for testing speci-mens in successive groups of ten. One missile weight isemployed for each group and missile weight is varied inuniform increments from group to group.1.3.3 The staircase technique and the alternative techniquegive equivalent results both as to the values of impact failur

The values stated in parentheses are for informationonly.NOTE 1Tests on materials that do not break, for any reason, are notconsidered to be valid. It ha

Significance and Use4.1 Test MethodsAand B are used to establish the weight ofthe dart when 50 % of the specimens fail under the conditionsspecified

20、. Data obtained by one test method cannot be com-pared directly with the other test method nor with thoseobtained from tests employing different conditions of missilevelocity, impinging surface diameter, effective specimendiameter, and thickness. The values obtained by these testvariables are highly

21、 dependent on the method of film fabrica-tion.4.2 The results obtained by Test Methods A and B aregreatly influenced by the quality of film under test. Theconfidence limits of data obtained by this procedure can,therefore, vary significantly, depending on the sample quality,uniformity of film gage,

22、die marks, contaminants, etc. (seeSection 15).4.3 Test Methods A and B have been found useful forspecification purposes. Correlation between test results andfield performance can usually be established.4.4 The impact resistance of plastic film, while partlydependent on thickness, has no simple corre

23、lation with samplethickness. Hence, impact values cannot be normalized over arange of thickness without producing misleading data as to theactual impact resistance of the material. Data from these testmethods are comparable only for specimens that vary by nomore than 625 % from the nominal or averag

24、e thickness of thespecimens tested.4.5 Several impact test methods are used for film. It issometimes desirable to know the relationships among testresults derived by different test methods. A study was con-ducted in which four films made from two resins (polypropyl-ene and linear low-density polyeth

25、ylene), with two film thick-nesses for each resin, were impacted using Test MethodsD1709 (Method A), D3420 (Procedures A and B), and D4272.The test results are shown in the Appendix. Differences inresults between Test Methods D1709 and D4272 may beexpected since Test Methods D1709 represents failure

26、 initiatedenergy, while Test Method D4272 is initiation plus completionenergy. Some films may show consistency when the initiationenergy is the same as the total energy. This statement and thetest data also appear in the significance sections and appen-dixes of Test Methods D3420 and D4272.5. Appara

27、tus5.1 The apparatus shall be constructed essentially as shownin Fig. 1, using the following components common to both testmethods:5.1.1 Dart WellIf the dart impact machine utilizes anenclosed dart well, it must contain a single unobstructed ventwith a minimum area of 625 mm2(1 in.2) to provide adeq

28、uateventing.NOTE 4Some dart impact machine designs utilize enclosed dart wellsthat do not permit adequate venting to the atmosphere during impact. Datahave shown that this has a significant effect on the observed impact value,especially with films that exhibit high elongation during testing, resulti

29、ngin atypically high impact values.NOTE 5The use of smaller, multiple vents is permitted if it can bedemonstrated that the venting efficiency is comparable and has nostatistically significant effect on the values obtained.5.1.2 Specimen ClampA two-piece annular specimenclamp having an inside diamete

30、r of 125 6 2.0 mm (5.0 + 0.0,0.15 in.) and conforming to the following requirements:5.1.2.1 The lower or stationary half of the clamp shall bemounted rigidly so that the plane of the specimen is horizontal.5.1.2.2 The upper or movable part of the clamp shall bedesigned to maintain positive and plane

31、 contact with the lowerpart of the clamp when in position. The clamps shall beprovided with suitable means of maintaining sufficient contactto hold the film sample firmly in place during the test.Pneumatically operated clamps have been successfully em-ployed.5.1.2.3 Rubber-like gaskets may be affixe

32、d to the specimencontact surfaces of both clamps to provide a cushion whichminimizes thickness variation effects. Rubber gasketing3.0 6 1 mm (0.125 + 0.025, 0.04 in.) thick, of 50 to 60 ShoreA durometer hardness, 125 6 2.0 mm (5.00 + 0.00, 0.15 in.)in inside diameter and 150 6 3.0 mm (6.0 + 0.02, 0.

33、2 in.) inoutside diameter has been found satisfactory for this purpose.5.1.2.4 Slippage of films greater than 0.10 mm (0.004 in.) inthickness may be minimized or eliminated by securing crocuscloth or 50D garnet abrasive paper to the gaskets with doublesensitive tape so that the abrasive surface is i

34、n direct contactwith the film. There should be sufficient clamping force toeliminate detectable slippage. Other means of reducing slip-page such as additional clamping devices or positive clampingsurfaces may be used provided that the film is not weakened atthe inside wall of the specimen clamps and

35、 that the effectivediameter of 125 6 2.0 mm (5.00 + 0.00, 0.15 in.) of the filmis not changed.5.1.3 Dart Release Mechanism, capable of supporting a2-kg weight shall be used for supporting and releasing the dart3Available from American National Standards Institute (ANSI), 25 W. 43rd St.,4th Floor, Ne
