1、Designation: D 4020 05Standard Specification forUltra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene Molding andExtrusion Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4020; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the

2、 year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) 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. Scope*1.1 This specification provide

3、s for the identification ofvirgin, unmodified homopolymer ultra-high-molecular-weightpolyethylene (UHMW-PE) plastics molding and extrusionmaterials. This identification is made in such a manner that theseller and purchaser can agree on the acceptability of differentcommercial lots or shipments.1.2 I

4、t is not intended to differentiate between variousmolecular weight grades of ultra-high-molecular-weight poly-ethylene commercially available.1.3 It is not the function of this specification to providespecific engineering data for design purposes.1.4 Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylenes, as def

5、inedin this specification, are those linear polymers of ethylenewhich have a relative viscosity of 1.44 or greater, in accor-dance with the test procedures described herein.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.

6、6 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest method portion. Section 7, of this specification: Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety an

7、d healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.NOTE 1There is no ISO equivalent specification. However, inISO 11542-1, a range of viscosity numbers defines the viscosity ofUHMW-PE grades. The viscosity numbers are determined in accordancewith ISO 1628-3.2.
