The protractor isattached to the torsion head by means of a friction bearing topermit movement for adjusting the zero

The original apparatus wasdescribed by Williamson, I., British Plastics, Vol 23, 1950, pp 87-90, 102; andtypical examples of the results of its use on leather were given in a paper byWitnauer, L. PA, and Palm, W.E., Journa

13、l, American Leather Chemists Assn.,JALCA, Vol 59, 1964, pp. 246-258.4Gloves were made from the neck and butt areas of cattlehide work-gloveleather selected for 3 of softness varying from soft to firm. These were ranked fromsoftest to firmest by 20 individuals. Since there was some overlapping of ran

14、k asassigned by individual observers, the final rank was assigned according to highestnumber of selections. Specimens of leather cut from the sides in the area from whicheach glove was cut were tested for stiffness according to this test method. At 90 oftwist, the stiffness values gave a ranking sim

15、ilar to that obtained by feel. Specimenscut parallel to the backbone gave more consistent ranking than specimens cutperpendicular to the backbone. This undoubtedly reflects the fact that work glovesare cut from a side with the fingers parallel to the backbone. A report of theseexperiments and data u

The top clamp, C, shall bemounted at the bottom of the torsion

22、tus6.1 Clamp the specimen in the testing apparatus as de-scribed below so that 89 6 2 mm (3.5 6 0.1 in.) of thespecimen is free between the clamps. It is advisable to markthis distance on the specimen using a bench marker.6.2 Insert the specimen into the jaws of the bottom clamp,E, until the edge of

23、 the clamp meets the bench mark. Be surethe specimen is perpendicular to the jaws of the clamp.6.3 Insert the other end of the specimen into the jaws of theupper clamp, C, up to the bench mark. Be sure the specimen isperpendicular to clamp.6.4 Insert the bottom clamp into the clamp guide, F.6.5 Unlo

When the clamps are parallel adjustthe top clamp indicator, I, so it is over the “0” mark

The indicator is attached to the upperclamp by a friction clasp.6.7 Lock the top dial, K, by turning knob G clockwise untiltight.6.8 Set the top dial by actually turning dial K to read 270(top dial is tension f

26、itted).NOTE 1By setting the dial to 270, the 90 twist of the specimen willbe subtracted out automatically, and the readings obtained will be that ofthe wire to give the desired 90 twist of the specimen.NOTE 2When setting top dial care should be taken not to twist thewire, causing the top clamp indic

27、ator to move. Movement of the indicatormeans that knob G was not tightened sufficiently. If this happens repeatoperations 6.5-6.8 as may be necessary.NOTE 3Dial K is attached to knob H through a friction bearing, thuspermitting dial K to be adjusted while the wire, which is attached to knobH, is in

28、a locked position when knob G is tight. Loosening knob G permitsknob H and dial K to be turned freely as a unit.NOTE 4The procedure outlined here is for testing of specimens at 90twist. If in the detailed specification, other degrees of angular twist arespecified, then the preflexing cycles and the

29、final measurement shall bemade at the specified degree of twist. The zero shall be adjusted to read360 minus the specified degrees of angular twist, and the torsion valueswill become corrected for the new value.7. Procedure7.1 Preflex the specimen by applying the same degree ofangular twist as speci

35、kwise direction, untilthe specimen clamp indicator, I, shows a 90 twist (see Note 4).7.7 Read from the upper dial, K, the angle of torsion andrecord this value to the nearest 5.NOTE 5Torsion values can be obtained at several increments ofangular twist on the same specimen without removing it from th

36、eapparatus. If torsion measurements are to be made at more than oneincrement of angular twist, it is advisable to make the first torsionmeasurement at the lowest degree of twist and proceed with the increasingincrements in consecutive order. When this is done it is essential that thespecimen be pref

37、lexed for two cycles at each increment of angular twist.NOTE 6Excessively high values may be due to either (a) overshootingthe end point from turning the dial too rapidly; ( b) the specimen is notperpendicular to clamp jaws and causes bottom clamp to bind; or (c)neglecting to reset zero point betwee

38、n the second preflexing cycle and thefinal reading.NOTE 7Excessively low values, especially at higher degrees of twistmay be caused by inadvertently stopping the specimen at 90 instead ofgoing to the higher order.7.8 Release the specimen from the top clamp.7.9 Remove the bottom clamp from the guide
