United States14.2 Breaking force is determined by mounting a test specimen in a tensile testing machine and a

15、pplying a force to the specimenuntil it breaks.5. Significance and Use5.1 Glass fiber reinforcing meshes are used to strengthen EIFS. The reinforcing meshes are embedded into base coats thatcontain portland cement, which potentially exposes the glass fibers in the reinforcing meshes to weakening by

16、the action of alkali.The breaking force following alkali exposure as determined by this method, is a factor used to comparatively evaluate the alkaliresistance of EIFS glass fiber reinforcing meshes in the laboratory.5.2 This test method does not purport to simulate the conditions that may be encoun

17、tered in service. The performance of anEIFS is a function of many factors, such as proper installation, rigidity of supporting construction and resistance of the EIFS todeterioration by other causes.6. Apparatus and Reagents6.1 Tensile Testing Machine, of the controlled rate of extension type, as de

18、fined in Specification D76D76/D76M, clumps andjaw faces conforming to those in Test Method D5035.6.2 Container and container cover for alkali solutionmaterial inert to alkali of suitable dimensions to permit unbent meshspecimens to be fully covered with a depth of 25 mm (1 in.)1 in. of alkali soluti

19、on. The cover for the container shall be of suitabledesign to prevent evaporative loss from the solution which would increase its concentration.6.3 Distilled water6.4 Reagent Grade Sodium Hydroxide7. Sampling7.1 Laboratory Samplefrom a sample roll, cut 30 specimens 50 6 3 mm (2 in.)2 in. wide at lea

20、st 600 mm 6 13 mm (24in.)24 in. long; 15 specimens with their long dimensions parallel to the machine (warp) direction, and 15 specimens with theirlong dimensions parallel to the cross (fill) direction.7.2 The actual number of yarns shall be equal within the width dimensional tolerance allowed (6 3

21、(63 mm 18 in.), and theactual number of yarns shall be reported.7.3 Specimens shall be spaced across the width of the fabric to ensure representation of different warp yarns. Fill specimensshall be from widely spaced locations within the sample roll.8. Preparation of Specimens8.1 Number each specime

22、n at both ends and then cut the specimens in half crosswise to provide one set for determining theconditioned breaking force and another set for determining the unconditioned breaking force. This allows for breaks on pairedspecimens which leads to more direct comparison of alkali conditioned versus

23、unconditioned breaking force.9. Alkali Conditioning of Specimens9.1 Record the number of and placement of each specimen so that, following conditioning, the breaking force value of eachconditioned specimen may be associated with the breaking force value of the unconditioned specimen from the same 50

24、 by 600mm (2 2 by 24 in.)in. strip. Markings may be destroyed by the alkali exposure. Any specimen tags used shall not be reactivewith the alkali solution.9.2 Prepare a 5%5 % (50 g/L 6.68 oz/gal) sodium hydroxide solution and place it in the conditioning container to a depthsufficient to cover the s

25、pecimens with 25 mm of solution (1 in.).1 in. of solution. Maintain the solution at 2222 6 3C (72726 5F).5F.9.3 Immerse in the solution one 50 xby 300 mm (2 2 by 12 in.)in. specimen strip from each pair cut from the 50 xby 600mm (2 2 by 24 in.)in. strips. Cover the strips by 25 mm (1 in.)1 in. of so

26、lution. The strips shall be straight. If the strips havea tendency to curl, they may be weighted at the ends by small weights inert to the solution, such as ceramic tile fragments. Coverthe solution container with a tight cover and mark the solution level on the container. Self clinging plastic wrap

27、 may be used. Ifthe solution level drops from evaporative loss, discontinue test.9.4 Condition specimens in the solution for 28 days.9.5 Following the 28 day conditioning, remove specimens, rinse briefly in distilled water, and dry for 7 days at 22 6 3C(7272 6 5F)5F and relative humidity of 50 6 5%.

28、5 %.9.6 Maintain the specimens not being conditioned at ambient laboratory room temperature of 22 6 3 (723C 72 6 5F)5Fand a relative humidity of 50 6 5%.5 %.E2098/E2098M 13210. Preparation of Tensile Testing Machine10.1 Prepare tensile testing machine in accordance with Test Method D5035 Section 10.

29、11. Procedure11.1 A resin may be applied to the ends of the specimens to make “tabs” to prevent slippage and jaw breaks during breakingas defined in Specification D579D579/D579M.11.2 Mount the specimen securely with 200 mm (8 in.)8 in. of separation between the grips.11.3 Operate the machine to exte

30、nd the specimen at the rate of 100 mm (4 in.)4 in. per minute until the specimen breaks.11.4 Record the breaking force (N/50 mm lbf/2 in.).11.5 If specimen slips in the jaw, or breaks at the edge of, or in the jaws, discard the result and take another specimen. Continueuntil 5five acceptable breaks

31、have been obtained for each of:(a) Unconditioned specimens with their long direction parallel to the warp.(b) Conditioned specimens with their long direction parallel to the warp.(c) Unconditioned specimens with their long direction parallel to the fill.(d) Conditioned specimens with their long dire

32、ction parallel to the fill.NOTE 1The fragile nature of the specimens and the resultant test variability will make it obvious to the operator when a sample is itself defectiveor has been damaged by the testing process. Results of such samples should not be used.12. Calculation or Interpretation of Re

33、sults12.1 Breaking Forcefor each of the four test configurations from 10.511.5 calculate the average breaking force observed forthe five acceptable specimens.
