32、s listed below to be considered a fair hit.See Annex A1 for flowchart showing the decision logic fordetermination of fair hit.9.3.1 The test threat shall impact the test item at an angle ofincidence or obliquity within 5 from the intended angle.9.3.2 The test threat shall have yaw verified to be 5 u

33、singa yaw card, flash radiography, high speed video, or photogra-phy. Yaw shall be checked for every test threat shot.9.3.2.1 The yaw measurement equipment shall be posi-tioned perpendicular to the projectile line of flight. The yawmeasurement equipment shall be securely mounted and an-chored to mai

34、ntain its required position and alignment.9.3.2.2 When photographic means are used to assess theprojectile yaw angle, the measurement shall be made as closeas practical to the strike face of the test item but not more than305 mm (12 in.) from the front of the strike face.E3107 1729.3.2.3 When yaw ca

35、rds are used to assess the projectileyaw angle, the cards shall be positioned between 51 and 305mm (2 and 12 in.) from the front of the strike face of the testitem.9.3.3 The test threat shall impact the test item no closer tothe edge of the test item than the minimum shot-to-edgedistance. The measur

36、ement for shot-to-edge distance shall betaken from the center of the projectile impact to the nearestedge of the ballistic material in the test item. When notspecified elsewhere, the minimum shot-to-edge distance shallbe 51 mm (2 in.).9.3.4 For intended edge shots, the test threat shall impact thete

37、st item no further than the maximum shot-to-edge distance.9.3.5 The test threat shall impact the test item no closer to aprior impact than the minimum shot-to-shot distance. Themeasurement for shot-to-shot distance shall be taken from thecenter of one projectile impact to the center of another. When

38、the minimum shot-to-shot distance is not specified, the mini-mum shot-to-shot distance shall be 51 mm (2 in.).NOTE 5When assessing whether a particular impact location meetsthe minimum shot-to-shot distance requirements, the shot-to-shot dis-tances should be measured from that impact location to all

41、ounting and Positioning of Soft Armor Test Itemson a Clay Block10.1 The testing of nonplanar soft armor test items intendedfor females requires the use of appliques as specified inPractice E3086, unless specified elsewhere.NOTE 6Appliques that may be needed for testing nonplanar softarmor test items

42、 other than those intended for females shall be specified inother standards and specifications. Testing of planar soft armor test itemsdoes not require the use of appliques.10.2 The test item shall be positioned on a clay block suchthat the entire test item is supported. When the test itemexceeds th

43、e size of the clay block, install backing fixtureextensions coplanar with the backing material surface to allowthe test item to be fully supported.10.3 The test item, and its applique(s) for nonplanar testitems, shall be held in contact with the clay block and securedusing approximately 50 mm (2.0 i

44、n.) wide elastic straps, heldclosed by hook-and-loop fasteners. Two vertical and threehorizontal straps shall be positioned such that they do notinterfere with the impact points on the test item. Fig. 1 showsexamples of strapping arrangements.10.4 The clay block shall be positioned to achieve proper

45、bullet impact location and angle (for example, angle ofincidence, obliquity) of the test threat. For any shots requiringa nonzero angle of incidence, the clay block shall be rotated toachieve the appropriate angle.10.5 Between test threat impacts, the test item shall bemanipulated by hand so that an

46、y wrinkles or bunching in thetest item (caused by a previous shot) are smoothed out. Noeffort shall be made to recover any bullets trapped in the testitem until the test series is complete.NOTE 7Manipulation of a bullet is allowed if the bullet will interferewith subsequent shots. The test item may

47、be removed if necessary tosmooth it out.10.5.1 The test item shall be repositioned on the backingmaterial such that the test item is supported by smooth backingmaterial for a distance of no less than 76 mm (3.0 in.) in alldirections around the next shot location.NOTE 8Instructions related to strikin

48、g the backing material betweenshots shall be specified by other standards and specifications.11. Ballistic Test Procedure for Soft Armor Test Items11.1 Acomplete test series for the assessment of penetrationresistance and backface deformation consists of individualballistic tests being conducted on
