Significance and Use5.1 For

11、 matters relating to lot acceptance of commercialshipments and conformity to specification or other standard,refer to Section 13 of this test method.5.2 This test method is useful in the selection and designvalidation of permeable, uncoatable fabrics used in inflatablerestraint cushions. The dynamic

12、 conditions and higher pressuredifferentials of this test method may better simulate theinflation and deflation cycle of an airbag module duringdeployment than do the steady-state conditions of Test MethodD 737.5.2.1 Only uncoated, permeable fabrics should be used. Useof coated fabrics may yield inv

17、xperience dynamic air per-meability in sudden bursts. In such cases, the physical appa-ratus or its software algorithms may require modification toprovide suitability for use.5.5 Due to the split-second time interval for testing, thepressure versus time data is subject to recording anomalies andelec

18、tronic noise. The data should be digitally filtered to obtainthe underlying smooth pressure curve prior to data analysis.The software in the apparatus includes a reliable algorithmboth to smooth the curve and to determine the exponent of airpermeability.5.6 It is inherent in the design and operation

19、 of thisequipment that major components key to the calibration andmeasurements are specific to the individual test head. The sizeor permeability measuring range of the test head is typicallychosen to correspond to the fabric specimen to be tested. Theprecision of this test method is highly dependent

20、 on the size ofthe test head. The precision of the data collected using one testhead should be used to estimate the precision of data collectedusing a different test head, even on the same apparatus.5.7 It is mandatory that fabric specimens be conditioned andtested in standard atmosphere for testing

29、he purchaserand the supplier, take as a lot sample all the rolls in acommercial shipment. Consider the rolls to be the primarysampling units.7.3 Laboratory Sample7.3.1 An entire roll of fabric or a full-width cut from the endof a roll within a lot sample constitutes a laboratory sample.7.4 Test Spec

30、imens:7.4.1 Test specimens are the pieces of fabric that actuallyundergo testing. Cut or mark specimens from the end of eachroll of fabric in the laboratory sample, as indicated in thematerial specification or equivalent. Cut 165mm by 330 mmrectangular specimens from the full-width fabric sample, or

31、mark similarly sized areas across the full-width fabric samplewithout cutting individual specimens.7.4.2 If areas of full width fabric are tested without cuttingindividual specimens, position test areas representing a broaddistribution across the length and width, preferably along thediagonal of the

32、 laboratory sample, and no nearer the edge thanone tenth its width.8. Conditioning8.1 Precondition test specimens in accordance with PracticeD 1776 or as agreed upon between the the purchaser and thesupplier.8.2 Prior to testing, bring the test specimens to moistureequilibrium at ambient atmospheric

33、 pressure, at 21 6 1C (706 2F), and at 65 6 2 % relative humidity, unless directed todo otherwise by an agreement by the purchaser and supplier.8.3 Equilibrium is considered to have been reached whenthe increase in mass of the specimen in successive weighingsmade at intervals of not less than 2 h do

34、es not exceed 0.1 % ofthe mass of the specimen.9.
