Classification4.1 The film and

17、sheeting covered in this specification shallbe designated by a type number, composed by listing thedesired cell limit for each of the five properties, in the ordershown in Table 1.NOTE 3Examples of this classification system are as follows:With this type of classification it is possible to assemble

18、on paper a combinationof properties that is impossible to obtain with the present state of technology. Apurchaser using this specification for the first time will probably find it necessaryto contact material suppliers to learn what materials are commercially available.4.2 In cases where surface tre

19、atment is specified by thepurchaser, the test method must be agreed upon between thepurchaser and the seller. The recommended test to measure thedegree of surface treatment is Test Method D 2578.5. General Requirements5.1 AppearanceThe material shall have appearance quali-ties conforming with those

20、produced by good commercialpractice. It shall be as free as commercially possible of gels,streaks, pinholes, particles of foreign matter, and undispersedraw material. There shall be no other visible defects such asholes, tears, or blisters. The edges shall be free of nicks andcuts visible to the una

21、ided eye. There shall be no visibleevidence of damage from shipping.5.2 Thickness TolerancesThe point-to-point thicknesstolerances of the film or sheeting covered in this specificationshall be nominal 620 %.5.3 Yield TolerancesThe actual yield of film or sheetingcovered in this specification shall b

22、e within the tolerance limitsof the nominal yield as prescribed in Table 2. In cases whereeach roll, blanket, or unit of production is packaged andmarked by the producer as the ultimate consumer sales unitwith stated dimensions, the single-roll tolerances for yield shallapply.5.4 Width TolerancesThe

23、 tolerance for width shall be63.2 mm (0.13 in.)/ft of nominal width except that thetolerance shall be not less than 63.2 mm (0.13 in.).5.5 LengthFor unit consumption the length of film orsheeting per roll shall be within +4, -0 % of the length asmarked, or as agreed upon between the purchaser and th

24、eseller. Each roll shall be in one piece, except that it ispermissible for no more than 20 % of the rolls in any oneshipment to contain a maximum of three pieces. Such rollsshall be clearly labeled.6. Detail Requirements6.1 The film or sheeting shall conform to the requirementsof Table 1 as indicate

25、d by the type designation.6.2 The film and sheeting shall not be blocked excessivelyas agreed upon between the purchaser and the seller.7.

This test

32、 method is notapplicable to impact strengths greater than 300 g. Run impactstrengths of greater than 300 g in accordance with Test MethodB of Test Methods D 1709.NOTE 4The impact resistance of polyethylene film, while partlydependent on thickness, has no simple correlation with sample thickness.Henc

33、e, impact values expressed in grams cannot be normalized over arange of thicknesses without producing misleading data as to the actualimpact resistance of the material. Data from these methods are comparableonly for comparing specimens that vary in thickness by no more than625 % from the nominal or
