1、Designation: D8137 18Practice forAccelerated Aging of Leather1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D8137; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates t

2、he year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice is based on studies relating the rate ofdeterioration of leathers having known durabilities from long-term storage of samples, to the deterioration experi

3、enced bylaboratory exposure of specimens to known contents of acidgases in air or oxygen. This is accomplished by measuring thedeterioration (reduction in tensile strength) of leather speci-mens when they are subjected to exposure to a mixture of air,moisture and sulfur dioxide at a given temperatur

4、e and pressureand for a given exposure time. The loss of tensile strength ofthe specimens resulting from this exposure is compared to thatexperienced by a variety of leathers having various tannagesand having historically long and short service lifetimes.

Summary of Practice5.1 Specimens are prepared and placed in a pressure cham-ber containing known or constant quantities of air, moistureand SO2. They are held in the chamber at a constant tempera-ture for a given time period. After

10、 that processing, the tensilestrengths of the specimens are measured along with the tensilestrengths of unprocessed specimens of the same leather. Theloss of tensile strength resulting from the processing relative tothat of the unprocessed specimens (%) is determined and maybe directly compared to t

11、hat of other leathers considered for anapplication. Where applicable, the results may also be consid-ered as the basis for projected service lifetimes as shown inSection 11.6. Significance and Use6.1 A substantial difficulty in using leather in applicationsrequiring very long service lives is estima

12、ting how well aparticular leather will actually hold up in service. Suchapplications may include use in musical instruments such aspipe organs, bookbinding leathers, etc. Use of leather in pipeorgans in the past (prior to approximately 1930) demonstratedservice lives frequently over 100 years, and t

13、he consequencesof short service lives can result in extremely costly repairs.Many post-1930 leathers have had short service lives (as littleas 15 years) due to the use of various more modern tannagesand processing methods. Identifying exactly what tannage andprocessing was used in a particular leath

14、er and how successfulthis tanning and processing was can be very difficult. Failure ofbookbinding and upholstery leathers formed the impetus forextensive work by leather chemists in the 1940s to identifytests that could be used to verify the durability of leather1This practice is under the jurisdict
