42、ross thewidth of the roll. Take at least one set of test specimens fromeach roll being tested. In the case of sheet stock, a statisticallyvalid sampling plan shall be used. Five specimens are recom-mended for sheeting of widths of five feet or less and tenspecimens are recommended for sheeting great

43、er than five feetin width.NOTE 2Care must be taken in choosing the size of the specimen inrelation to the anvil to assure that the weight of the specimen overhangingthe anvil does not overcome the weight applied to the presser foot, whichwill result in erroneous readings. If it is necessary to use a

44、 largerspecimen, a heavier weight should be used.11.5.4 ProcedureA procedure, suitable for the materialand specimen geometry being tested, as described in TestMethod D 5947 shall be used. The surfaces of the anvil, thepresser foot spindle, and the specimens shall be clean and dry.Take one measuremen
