Significance and Use5.1 For

16、matters relating to lot acceptance of commercial shipments and conformity to specification or other standard, refer toSection 13 of this test method.5.2 This test method is useful in the selection and design validation of permeable, uncoatable fabrics used in inflatable restraintcushions. The dynami

17、c conditions and higher pressure differentials of this test method may better simulate the inflation anddeflation cycle of an airbag module during deployment than do the steady-state conditions of Test Method D737.5.2.1 Only uncoated, permeable fabrics should be used. Use of coated fabrics may yield

18、 invalid results and potentially damagethe test apparatus.5.3 Within the limits of variance expressed in Section 12, this test method is useful for design validation and may be suitablefor incorporation in a material specification or for lot acceptance testing of commercial shipments. Caution is adv

19、ised on very lowpermeability fabrics or with the 200 cm3. size test heat because between-laboratory precision as presented in Section 12 may beas high as 21 %.5.4 This test method may be used for materials other than inflatable restraint fabrics which experience dynamic air permeabilityin sudden bur

20、sts. In such cases, the physical apparatus or its software algorithms may require modification to provide suitabilityfor use.5.5 Due to the split-second time interval for testing, the pressure versus time data is subject to recording anomalies andelectronic noise. The data should be digitally filter

21、ed to obtain the underlying smooth pressure curve prior to data analysis. Thesoftware in the apparatus includes a reliable algorithm both to smooth the curve and to determine the exponent of air permeability.5.6 It is inherent in the design and operation of this equipment that major components key t

22、o the calibration and measurementsare specific to the individual test head. The size or permeability measuring range of the test head is typically chosen to correspondto the fabric specimen to be tested. The precision of this test method is highly dependent on the size of the test head. The precisio

23、nof the data collected using one test head should be used to estimate the precision of data collected using a different test head, evenon the same apparatus.5.7 It is mandatory that fabric specimens be conditioned and tested in standard atmosphere for testing textiles.6. Apparatus6.1 Removable Test

30、e such thatminimal effect on accuracy of the data occurs. The accuracy of the pressure transducers, amplifiers, and timers within the testapparatus shall be calibrated to within 6 3%.7. Sampling7.1 Dynamic air permeability testing is a destructive test and therefore necessitates sampling procedures

31、if used in conjunctionwith lot acceptance of commercial shipments.7.2 Lot Sample:7.2.1 For acceptance testing, the lot size is the quantity of fabric finished in one production day or as agreed upon between thepurchaser and the supplier.7.2.2 Unless otherwise agreed upon between the purchaser and th

32、e supplier, take as a lot sample all the rolls in a commercialshipment. Consider the rolls to be the primary sampling units.7.3 Laboratory Sample7.3.1 An entire roll of fabric or a full-width cut from the end of a roll within a lot sample constitutes a laboratory sample.7.4 Test Specimens:7.4.1 Test

33、 specimens are the pieces of fabric that actually undergo testing. Cut or mark specimens from the end of each roll offabric in the laboratory sample, as indicated in the material specification or equivalent. Cut 165mm165 by 330 mm rectangularD6476 122specimens from the full-width fabric sample, or m

34、ark similarly sized areas across the full-width fabric sample without cuttingindividual specimens.7.4.2 If areas of full width fabric are tested without cutting individual specimens, position test areas representing a broaddistribution across the length and width, preferably along the diagonal of th

35、e laboratory sample, and no nearer the edge than onetenth its width.8. Conditioning8.1 Precondition test specimens in accordance with Practice D1776 or as agreed upon between the the purchaser and thesupplier.8.2 Prior to testing, bring the test specimens to moisture equilibrium at ambient atmospher

36、ic pressure, at 21 6 1C (70 62F),1C, and at 65 6 2 % relative humidity, unless directed to do otherwise by an agreement by the purchaser and supplier.8.3 Equilibrium is considered to have been reached when the increase in mass of the specimen in successive weighings madeat intervals of not less than

37、 2 h does not exceed 0.1 % of the mass of the specimen.9. Procedure9.1 Select and condition specimens in accordance with 8.1.9.2 Mount the fabric specimen on the test fixture, ensuring that the retention mechanism clamps the fabric tightly with minimaltension and without damage or wrinkling.9.3 Perf

38、orm all system calibrations.9.4 Enter the specimen number into recording portions of the data acquisition.9.5 Ensure the pressure vessel is pressurized with desiccated air to a pressure sufficiently high to test the specimen within thepressure ranges specified.9.6 In accordance with the applicable m

39、aterial specification or laboratory guideline, select and install the appropriate test headfor the fabric type to be measured.9.7 Preset the start, upper, and lower pressure limits.9.7.1 Unless otherwise stated in the customer specification, the test head size, and starting pressure should be select

40、ed such thatan average peak pressure of 100 6 10 kPa is reached during the test. Also unless otherwise stated in the customer specification,the Lower Limit should be set to 30 kPa and the Upper Limit should be set to 70 kPa.9.8 Establish data acquisition system response to pressure inputs.9.9 Initia

41、te the starting sequence and note the response of the data acquisition system to verify successful airflow.9.10 Record maximum differential pressure in kPa (psi),kPa, time to maximum pressure in ms, or whatever data points arerequired by the material specification.9.11 Remove the specimen from the t

42、est stand and mark it as having been tested.9.12 On the test report, record the data required by the material specification.NOTE 1The unit of permeability commonly used for ADAP measurement is mm/s. A velocity of 1 mm/s is the mathematical equivalent of apermeability of 0.1 cm3/(cm2.s). Permeability

43、 and velocity are considered interchangeable terms.10. Equipment Calibration10.1 For inflatable restraints, all test equipment used in accordance with these test methods shall be certified for calibrationannually by an independent agency or equipment manufacturer whose results are traceable to the N

44、ational Institute of Science andTechnology (NIST) or other national standards laboratory. The test parameters of the equipment shall be tested within the operatingranges covered in the material specification or equivalent document.11.

Precision and Bias12.1 BiasFor multifilament fabrics such as those used for inflatable restraints, there is no standard refere

48、nce material availableto serve as an accepted standard value for dynamic air permeability testing. In the absence of a known true value, the accuracyof this test method cannot be determined.12.2 The analysis of precision of test results using this test method is meaningful both within-laboratory and

49、 between-laboratorywith multiple operators.12.3 An Interlaboratory Test3was planned and conducted on uncoated fabrics covering a range of permeabilities typically usedin inflatable restraint cushions in accordance with Practice E691 and Practice D2904. For inflatable restraint fabrics, the typicalrange of permeabilities is between zero and 10 cfm when measured in accordance with Test Method D737. Two variables, ADAPand EXPONENT were studied. Analysis was done using SAS 6.1, PROC. GLM, and PROC. VARCOMP. Three components ofvariance - single-operator, within-laboratory, and be
