Significance and Use5.1 The test procedures provide a standard method of obtaining data for research and development, quality control, acceptanceand rejection under specifications, and special purposes.5.2 The data obtained by these test methods are applicable to

26、the material under conditions of the particular test and are notnecessarily the same as obtained in other environments in use.D3574 1626. General Test Conditions6.1 Tests shall be conducted under known conditions of temperature and humidity or as entirely conducted at 23 6 2 C and50 6 10 % relative

27、humidity, unless otherwise specified in the individual test procedure.method. The product shall be conditionedundeflected,conditioned, undeflected and undistorted at the temperature and humidity of test undistorted, at 23 6 2 C and 50 610 % relative humidity, for at least 12 h before being tested. I

28、n cases of dispute, the tests shall be made at a temperature of 23 62C and in an atmosphere of 50 6 5 % relative humidity.tested, unless otherwise specified in the individual test method.6.2 It is recommended for referee purposes that all tests shall be performed 7seven days or more after the foam h

29、as beenmanufactured.6.3 For mechanical tests, it is advisable to carefully select the proper load cell for each test. It is recommended that the expectedload for any individual test falls within 10-90 % of the load cell capacity.7. Sampling7.1 When possible, the completed manufactured product shall

30、be used for the test specified. Representative samples of the lotbeing examined shall be selected at random, as required.7.2 When it is necessary or advisable to obtain specimens from the articles, as in those cases where the entire sample is notrequired or adaptable for testing, the method of cutti

31、ng and the exact position from which specimens are to be taken shall bespecified. The density and the state of cure can vary in different parts of the finished product, especially if the article is ofcomplicated shape or of varying thickness, and these factors affect the physical properties of the s

32、pecimens. Also, the density isaffected by the number of cut surfaces on the specimen. If a test specimen is die cut, ensure that the sides are not concavedconcaveand allow sufficient time for complete recovery of the thickness across the full width of the specimen before testing.7.3 When the finishe

33、d molded product does not lend itself to testing or to the taking of specimens because of complicated shape,small size, metal or fabric inserts, adhesion to metal, or other reasons, molded test slabs, as agreed upon between thesupplierpurchaser and the purchasersupplier, shall be prepared.7.4 When d

34、ifferences in test results arise due to the difficulty in obtaining suitable specimens from the finished parts, thesupplierpurchaser and the purchasersupplier shall agree upon an acceptable location from which to take the specimen.8. Measurement of Test Specimens8.1 Measure the length and width with

35、 a scale, tape, or caliper gauge. Take care not to distort the foam.8.2 Measure thickness up to and including 25 mm using a height or electronic display gauge with a minimum foot area of 650mm2. Hold the pressure of the gauge foot to a maximum of 800 Pa (see Note 2). Thicknesses over 25 mm shall be

36、measured witha height or electronic display gauge, a sliding caliper gauge, or as specified in 8.1. When a sliding caliper gauge is employed, makethe gauge setting with the gauge out of contact with the foam. Pass the specimen through the previously set gauge; the propersetting shall be the one when

37、 the measuring faces of the gauge contact the surfaces of the specimen without compressing it.NOTE 2For soft foams having compression force deflection values less than 1.65 kPa, the pressure on the gauge or compression foot shall not exceed200 Pa.8.3 The scale, tape, or gauge shall be graduated so a

38、s to permit measurements within 61 % of the dimensions to be measured.8.4 Unless otherwise specified, results shall be the mean of the measurements.TEST ADENSITY TEST9. Scope9.1 This test method covers determination of the density of uncored foam by calculation from the mass and volume of thespecime

39、n. The density value thus obtained applies only to the immediate area from which the specimen has been taken. It doesnot necessarily relate to the bulk density of the entire molded pad.NOTE 3This standard is equivalent to ISO 845.10. Test Specimen10.1 Core DensityA representative specimen of regular

40、 shape, circular or square without skins or densification lines, not lessthan 100010,000 mm3 (0.61 in.3) in volume, shall be cut from a portion free of voids and defects and as near as possible to thesection from which the tension and tear specimens were taken.10.2 Section DensityA representative sp

41、ecimen with skins on the top and bottom surface measuring at least 0.1 m2 in area byfull-part thickness, shall be cut from an area free of voids and defects and as near as possible to the location from which the tensionand tear specimens were taken. When these dimensions are not possible, the larges

42、t representative portion as agreed upon betweenthe supplierpurchaser and the purchasersupplier, shall be used.D3574 16311. Number of Specimens11.1 One specimen shall be tested, unless otherwise agreed upon by the supplierpurchaser and the purchaser.supplier.12. Procedure12.1 Determine the mass of th

43、e specimen within 1 %.to a precision of 61 %.12.2 Determine the dimensions of the specimen in accordance with Section 8, and calculate the volume.13.

Precision and Bias15.1 See Section 146151 for Precision and Bias statements.TEST B1 INDENTATION FORCE DEFLECTION TESTSPECIFIED DEFLECTION (IFD)16. Scope1

45、6.1 This will be known as the indentation force deflection test and the results as the IFD values. This test consists of measuringthe force necessary to produce designated indentations in the foam product, for example, 25 and indentations at 25 and 65 %deflections. (See Appendix X3 for additional in

46、formation).NOTE 4This standard and ISO 2439 address the same subject matter, but differ in technical content and results cannot be directly compared betweenthe two methods.17. Apparatus17.1 An apparatus having a flat circular indenter foot 200 +3/0 mm in diameter connected by means of a swivel joint

47、 capableof accommodating the angle of the sample to a force-measuring device and mounted in such a manner that the product or specimencan be deflected at a speed of 50 to 250 mm/min. The apparatus shall be arranged to support the specimen on a level horizontalplate which is perforated with approxima

48、tely 6.5-mm holes on approximately 20-mm centers to allow for rapid escape of air duringthe test. Special supportsupports for contoured molded pads shall be perforated in the same manner as the flat plate, unlessotherwise agreed upon between the supplierpurchaser and the purchaser.supplier. Pads lon

49、ger than the base plate shall be supportedfrom distortion at the 4.5-N contact force.force (see 20.3).NOTE 5Equipment design and test fixturing can affect the results of this test.As an example, load cells placed below the support plate can experiencea bridging effect that likely does not occur in equipment which has the load cell mounted above the indenter foot.18. Test Specimen18.1 The test specimen shall consist of the entire product sample or a suitable portion of it, except that in no case shal
