SPECIMEN SIZE AND SHAPE AND ITS EFFECT ON ACCURACYA1.1 GeneralA1.1.1 Specimens of sizes and shapes other than the 8.000-in.2(51.613-cm2) circle maybe used provided cons

17、ideration isgiven to controllable factors affecting the accuracy of themethod. Specifically, the area of the specimen shall be knownand controlled to an accuracy of 60.1 %, and the minimummass of the specimen shall be 70 mg. Specimens ranging insize from 8 to 32 in.2(52 to 206 cm2) are convenient to

18、 handleand can be prepared to meet the aforementioned requirements.A1.2 Source of ErrorA1.2.1 Inherent errors in determining thickness by the massmeasurement method result from the limits on the accuracy ofthe density value assigned to the alloy, the accuracy with whicha specimen can be cut and its

19、area determined, and theaccuracy of the mass measurement. Much time could bedevoted to a discussion of refinement of errors but it shallsuffice here to draw on experience as a guide for determiningthe accuracy of the method.A1.3 Error from Uncertainty of the Densities of theSpecimen (ED)A1.3.1 The d

20、ensity of aluminum foil or sheet alloys shall bethose listed in Table 1 or it shall be determined by the methoddescribed in Annex A2. Values so obtained are accurate to6 0.3 % of the true density. The error imposed by uncertaintyof the density then is ED= 6 0.3 % of the thickness deter-mined.A1.4 Er

21、ror from Control of the Area of the Specimen(EA)A1.4.1 Aprecision blanking press can cut a specimen whosearea is known and reproducible to an accuracy of 60.1 %. If dis the specific diameter required to provide the area used in thethickness computation, then the error in area resulting from asmall e

22、rror, Dd, in the diameter is 200 Dd/d %. It follows thenthat to maintain an area accurate to 60.1 %, the tolerance onthe diameter of the blanked circle shall be 60.0005 times thecircle diameter. The fact that the tolerance on diameter de-creases in direct proportion to the diameter is a factor tocon

23、sider in selecting the specimen size to use in the method.Compliance with this tolerance limits the area error toEA= 6 0.1 % of the thickness determined.A1.5 Error from Measuring the Mass of the Specimen(EM)A1.5.1 The accuracy of measuring the mass of a foil orsheet specimen has been found to be 0.7

24、 mg. This imposes amaximum error on the method of 6 0.07/(TAD) %ofthethickness determined. Since D, density of the foil or sheet, isfixed, it is seen that the magnitude of the mass measurementerror is a function of the thickness, T, of the foil or sheet andthe area, A, of the specimen. The area, A,

25、is a controllablefactor in the method, and the importance of selecting a largearea to minimize the overall percentage error in the method forthin foil or sheet is apparent from a few simple calculations.The product TAD is the mass of the specimen in grams, so toprevent the mass measurement error fro

28、 1.0 %, it is necessary that the mass of the specimenbe larger than 70 mg. The maximum error in the method due tomass measurement then is EM= 6 0.07/(TAD) % of thethickness determined.A1.6 Maximum Error of the MethodA1.6.1 If ED, EA, and EMrepresent the errors in percentageof thickness determined as

29、 imposed by the limits of accuracy ofdensity, area, and mass measurement, respectively, then themaximum error of the method is (ED+EA+EM) percent of thethickness determined. Since these errors at a given test locationare normally in the nature of a bias rather than random error,the accuracy of the m

30、ethod is best described in terms of thismaximum error. The maximum error of the method in percentis as follows:ED1 EA1 EM5F0.4 10.07TAD!Gwhere TAD is the mass of the specimen in grams.A2. CALCULATING THE DENSITY OF ALUMINUM ALLOYSA2.1 CalculationA2.1.1 The following describes the procedures used toc

A sample calculation is shown for5052 alloy.A2.1.2.1 For each alloying element, the arithmetic mean ofits registered limits is determined. The mean is rounded to

32、thenumber of places indicated in Table A2.2. Rounding, exceptwhen specified otherwise, shall be in accordance with therounding method of Practice E29.A2.1.2.2 For each impurity element or combination ofimpurity elements for which a maximum limit is registered, anarithmetic mean is determined using z

33、ero as the minimumlimit. The mean is rounded to the number of places indicated inTable A2.1.A2.1.2.3 For impurity elements having a combined limit(such as Si + Fe), each of the elements is considered to have anequal concentration. The concentrations are calculated bydividing the mean determined for

34、the combined limit inA2.1.2.2 by the number of elements in the combined limit.Each element concentration is rounded to the number of placesindicated in Table A2.1.A2.1.2.4 The element concentrations in A2.1.2.1-A2.1.2.3are totaled and then subtracted from 100 to obtain the concen-tration of aluminum

35、 to be used in the calculation. Thealuminum concentration is rounded to two decimal places. For1XXX series aluminum, calculated aluminum content may beless than the specified minimum aluminum content. Neverthe-less, the calculated aluminum content should be used forpurposes of this calculation proce

36、dure.A2.1.2.5 Each element concentration determined inA2.1.2.1-A2.1.2.4 is multiplied by the value 1/Density given inTable A2.2. Each of these results is rounded to three decimalplaces.A2.1.2.6 The values determined in A2.1.2.5 are addedtogether and this sum is divided into the number 100. Theresult

Theexpression of density values to more decimal places than is outlined aboveinfers a higher precision than is justified and should not be used.A2.1.2.8 The density in g/in.3is calculated by multiplyingthe value obtained in A2.1.2.7 by 16.387 and rounding to twodecimal places.A2.2 AccuracyA2

(0.05 mm) andless in thickness is described.A3.2 ApparatusA3.2.1 A hand striking die is a convenient way to cut thespecimen. The precision blanking pr

47、ess with the polyethylenefilm on a piece of paper will also produce good results, but anyother method capable of the desired precision may be used.A3.3 Test SpecimenA3.3.1 Because of the lower density of polyethylene film, aminimum specimen of 16.000 6 0.016 in.2(103.23 6 0.10cm2) is recommended; ot

48、her specimen sizes may be used asdiscussed in Annex A1. If there is evidence of surfacecontamination, the specimen may be wiped clean with a drycloth or tissue, but no solvent should be used.A3.4 CalculationsA3.4.1 The density of polyethylene film may be determineddirectly by Test Method D 1505. In

49、many cases the film densitywill be known within the accuracy needed for this method(about 0.5 %) from specifications or previous experience.Polyethylene density is usually reported in g/cm3. To convertthis to g/in.3as needed in this calculation, multiply by 16.39.SUMMARY OF CHANGESCommittee B07 has identified the location of selected changes to this standard since the last issue (E 252 05)that may impact its use.
