Significance and Use4.1 This bearing strength test for plastics is intended toapply in the specification of various thermoplastic or thermo-setting products in sheet form where rivets, bolts, or simi

It alsois intended to apply wherever sheet materials of the classesindicated are required to sustain edgewise loads that areapplied by means of pins or rods of circular cross section whichpierce the sheet perpendicular to the surface.4.2 T

A size of test specimen shall be chosen thatmost nearly conforms to production requirements of thematerial

21、and the type of loading under consideration. Thethicker specimens with the larger bearing hole are likely to givethe more precise results, although it is advantageous to use thethinner specimens with the smaller bearing hole in testingcertain relatively brittle plastics because they are less likely

It shall be drilled undersized and reamed tosize as indicated. The hole shall be clean and smooth withsharp edges but not polished. It is suggested that the rea

30、d thickness of the conditioned testspecimen to the nearest 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) at the bearinghole. Also measure the diameter of the bearing hole and thedistance from the center of the bearing hole to the edge of thespecimen in the direction of the principal stress to the nearest0.025 mm (0.001 in.)

31、. All measurements to be made using theapplicable test methods in accordance with Test MethodD5947.10. Speed of Testing10.1 The mean rate of crosshead travel in the testing ofspecimens shall not exceed 1.3 6 0.3 mm (0.05 6 0.01in.)/min. In any case the crosshead movement shall be slowenough so that

32、deflection gage readings can be made accu-rately.11. Procedure11.1 The choice of either Procedure A for tension loading(11.2) or Procedure B for compression loading (11.3)isoptional, but it should be recognized that Procedure B giveshigher bearing strength values than Procedure A on the samematerial

33、. Test specimens according to both ProceduresAand Bif a complete specification of bearing strength is required.11.2 Procedure A for Tension LoadingMount the speci-men to be tested in the tension loading fixture and attach adeformation indicator. If a dial gage (Fig. 2) is used, adjust theyoke so tha

34、t contact is made with the specimen at the levelindicated in Fig. 1. Exception is taken in the case of thosethermoplastic materials which exhibit extended plastic flow.Such specimens tend to “neck down” in the region of thebearing hole, and it is necessary to mount the yoke 12.7 mm (12in.) below the

35、 normal position indicated in A, Fig. 1, so that itwill not slip during test.11.3 Procedure B for Compression LoadingMount thespecimen to be tested in the compression loading fixture andload through a flat, hardened compression plate. Adjust theclearance between the thrust bushings of the loading fi

36、xturesuch that their contact with the specimen is sufficient to supportit in a vertical position without binding. Clamp the hardwoodcheek blocks in place and attach the deformation indicator (seeFig. 4).11.4 Details Common to Procedures A and BTake care inaligning the long axis of the specimen with

37、the center line ofthe testing fixture. Load the specimen at the prescribed rate ofcrosshead travel and take deformation readings. In case auto-graphic recording is not available, record the load sustained bythe specimen for every 0.0127-mm (0.0005-in.) deformationup to a total deformation of 4 % of

38、the bearing hole diameter.Continue the test until maximum load is sustained and thecorresponding deformation of the bearing hole is recorded.12. Calculation12.1 Plot the load - deflection curve for each specimen.12.2 Use a template, as described in the Appendix, todetermine the load at 4 % hole defo

(1)where:Sb= bearing strength, MPa (or psi),P = bearing load at 4 % hole deformation, N (or lbf),d = bearing hole diameter, mm (or in.), andt = specimen thickness, mm (or in.).12.4 Calculate the arithmetic mean of the observations andr

Precision and Bias14.1 Attemp

48、ts to develop a comprehensive interlaboratoryprecision and bias statement for this test method have not beensuccessful because of the small number of laboratories usingthis test method. However, limited precision data from onelaboratory on one material utilizing a single operator, a singleapparatus,

49、 on a single day and replicate runs of the material hasbeen provided as follows: Determinations were made on twosets of ten individual specimens to provide two test results. Thecoefficient of variation of the two test results averaged 4.9 %with a difference of 0.3 % between results.14.2 There are no recognized standards to estimate the biasof this test method.
