2、evision. 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 Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This practice provides one environment in w

3、hich toexpose finished pressure-sensitive tape material for the purposeof accelerating the aging of it. It is applicable to tape in rollform when the user observes the precautions detailed withinthe procedure. The practice does not provide for a conclusionwithin itself, but is for use in conjunction

4、 with appearance orphysical property tests to follow the accelerated exposure.While this practice was developed using packaging type tapes,its use on other types of tape with similar construction isencouraged. It is not intended for use on electrical grade tapes(see Test Methods D1000).1.2 This stan

5、dard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Practice4.1 The pressure-sensitive tape is exposed to an atmosphereof 80 % relative humidity at 150F (66C

8、) for a period of 96 h.Following a period for returning to a standard atmosphere, thetape is ready for a prescribed examination using a method suchas Test Methods D3330/D3330M.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice accelerates the natural aging of pressure-sensitive tapes so that the response to t

9、he usual physicalproperty tests changes to the same extent as with an exposureto approximately two years of natural aging when comparedwith the response to tests before aging.5.1.1 Natural aging in this context means a continuousperiod of aging of tape in a closed fibreboard container (indarkness) i

10、n the variable climate of either the warm moistsouth, the warm dry southwest or the moderate midcontinent,USA.5.2 The extent of change for one physical property shouldbe expected to be different than for another property and sowould also relate to different natural aging time.5.3 An abnormal product

11、 lot may cause differences intesting response that throw off the expected time patterns.5.4 Appearance of normal tape product will usually changeonly slightly on two years natural aging. This acceleratedexposure usually produces an exaggerated change in appear-ance which would be seen under natural

12、conditions only inabnormal product.5.5 There is no present experience to relate this acceleratedexposure to responses of tape in applications where the tape isunder a use stress.6.

This gives 500 times the number of grams ofwater required to humidify the air volume to 80 % relativehumidity at 150F (66C) and should supply the moisturerequired to accommodate the absorption by the sample roll

Sampling8.1 Sampling of material for this practice should be inaccordance with the requirements of the a

22、pplicable material orcommodity specification.8.2 Lacking the previously mentioned specification, sam-pling should be as required in the physical property methodapplicable to the testing to follow the exposure.8.3 When no other sampling requirement is applicable,sampling should be as set forth in Pra

23、ctice D3715/D3715M.9. Sample9.1 The sample should consist of rolls of tape.9.1.1 The quantity of tape in any sample roll need not bemore than necessary to supply the specimens for the physicalproperty tests to follow the exposure.9.1.2 No sample roll should be less than12 in.

24、ample rolls should be originally wound, not rewoundrolls.10. Procedure10.1 Humidity Vessel in Oven:10.1.1 Place the sample rolls above the solution in the vesselso that roll edges lie in a horizontal plane (parallel with theliquid surface). Include no more sample rolls than will displaceone fourth o

25、f the air volume in the vessel.10.1.2 Arrange the sample rolls so that all surfaces areexposed to the humid air in the vessel. Use separators thatallow free air space around and between the rolls and which arenon-hygroscopic.10.1.3 Close the assembly and place in the oven.10.1.4 Assure that care is

26、taken to prevent the solution fromwetting any part of the assembly (including tape), other thanthe reservoir it occupies, when the assembly is moved in andout of the oven. This reduces salt deposition and crystallinebuild-up.10.1.5 Remove the assembly from the oven after 96 h.Immediately remove the

27、sample rolls from the assembly.10.1.6 Condition the sample in the standard conditioningatmosphere described in Practice D4332 for a minimum of 4 hwith free air space around the rolls.10.1.7 Conditioning is intended to produce an equilibriumin both temperature and moisture of samples with the standar

28、dconditions. This may require 24 or 48 h for some materials.10.1.8 Ascertain if the desired equilibrium is present byperforming the physical property test(s) at 4 h and again atsome later time. If no significant difference is found, thedesired equilibrium is satisfied or it is of no importance to th

The environment in the vessel is dependent on careful obser-vation of the requirements of loading in relationship to vessel volume andliquid surface area in accordance with Section 7.10.2 Humidity Chamber:10.2.1 Place the sample rolls on a rack in the humiditychamber so that rol

37、 Information)X1. NOTES ON THE EFFECT OF THIS EXPOSURE ON PHYSICAL PROPERTY TEST VARIABILITY AND THEEXPOSURES RELATIONSHIP TO NATURAL AGINGX1.1 Industry experience shows that this exposure can havea variable effect on the tape. This is like the variability in anytest method that we commonly term its

38、precision. It is an effectdue to the small differences that occur in performing any stepof a process. For instance, when repeating this conditioningone might not set the temperature exactly the same or theatmospheric pressure might vary or the purity of the salt mightdiffer from different vendors. T

39、hese small differences result inslightly different aging of the tape from time to time. Thisvariation does not appear as something we can measuredirectly on its own. It is superimposed on the variabilityinherent in performance of the subsequent physical propertytest for which this conditioning was p

40、reparatory. We do notexpect this superimposed (added) variability effect to be great.Since it is seen as a change in the apparent variability of thephysical property test results, we can relate it to the expectedprecision of the test by making the following statement:X1.2 The effect of this exposure

41、 on the inter-laboratoryprecision of any physical property test performed on the samelot of product is expected to be no more than 25 % increase indispersion over that expected from the test without firstperforming the accelerated aging exposure. An illustration ofthis can be made with the peel adhe

42、sion test. If that test had aprecision statement reading, “The multi-laboratory precision ofthe peel adhesion method is 612 % of the mean at the 95 %confidence level,” we would expect that after this conditioningthe response to the peel test would make that precision toappear to have lessened to 615

43、 % of the mean.X1.3 It should be explained that with pressure-sensitivetapes, as with other materials which are “destroyed” during thetesting process, one can never measure the same physicalproperty more than once on the same specimen of tape. Thismeans that a measurement of precision for a physical

44、 propertytest on tape always has as one of its components the inherentvariability between tape specimens. Aging reduces this inher-ent variability between specimens for some types of tape andsome tests. Therefore this conditioning does not always causean increase in dispersion.X1.4 ASTM subgroup stu

45、dies show that the relationshipbetween this exposure and any natural aging is irregular andvaries not only with the test but also the tape product.4It wassaid in 5.1 that this exposure produces an effect in the responsewhich would occur with approximately two years of naturalaging. For example, a gi

46、ven type of tape a specified physicalproperty test might yield data comparable to 2.5 years ofnatural aging. A different type of tape could yield datacomparable to more or less than that time period.4Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and maybe obtained by requesting
