Significance and Use5.1 This test method assesses the cut resistance of

16、a materialwhen exposed to a cutting edge under specified loads. Dataobtained from this test method can be used to compare the cutresistance of different materials.5.2 This test method only addresses that range of cuttinghazards that are related to a cutting action across the surface ofthe material.

17、It is not representative of any other cutting hazardto which the material may be subjected such as serrated edges,saw blades or motorized cutting tools. Nor is it representativeof puncture, tear, or other modes of fabric failure.6. Apparatus6.1 Cut Test Apparatus:6.1.1 The cut test apparatus is desi

18、gned to measure thedistance traveled by the cutting edge as it is maintained undera known load during the test, so that force distance data can begenerated.Aschematic of the cut test principle is shown in Fig.1. A motor-driven balanced arm (A) holding the cutting edge(B) in contact with the specimen

19、 mounted on a mandrel (C).The arm propels the blade across the specimen until sufficientforce is applied to cause the specimen to sustain a cut through.The force is generated entirely by the weights mounted on thelever arm assembly. See Annex for details on available cutprotection test equipment.6.1

20、.1.1 The cut test apparatus is powered by a constantspeed electric motor. The motor speed is adjusted by a powercontroller. The cut through is electronically recorded as thecutting edge cuts through the specimen and makes electricalcontact with the conductive strip or substrate. The distancetraveled

21、 is recorded on a distance meter capable of recording to0.1 mm 0.004 in.6.1.2 Weights are mounted on the lever arm assembly. Theapparatus must be capable of handling loads ranging from 10g 0.35 oz to 15 kg 33 lb.6.2 MandrelThe top surface of the mandrel is a roundedform which has an arc of at least

22、32 mm 1.25 in. in a circlehaving a radius of 38 mm 1.5 in. The surface of the mandrelshould either be made of electroconductive material or becovered with an electroconductive material.6.3 Blade4,5Blades shall be made of stainless steel with ahardness of 78-80 on the 30N scale or approximately 59-64

23、HRC. Blades shall be 1.0 6 0.5 mm 0.039 6 0.020 in. thickand ground to a bevel width of 2.5 6 0.2 mm 0.098 6 0.008in. along a straight edge. This is an included angle ofapproximately 22 at the cutting edge. Blades shall have acutting edge length greater than 65 mm 2.56 in. and shallhave a width grea

24、ter than 18 mm 0.71 in.6.4 Calibration Material6,5Calibration material is a Neo-prene sheet having a hardness of 50 6 5 Shore A and athickness of 1.57 mm 0.062 in. 6 0.05 mm 0.002 in.6.4.1 This calibration material shall be stored under con-trolled laboratory conditions in an opaque container to pre

25、ventdeterioration by heat or ultraviolet light.6.5 Data AnalysisData analysis can be accomplished by acomputer, capable of analyzing the data collected using thebest method to fit the curve.7. Hazards7.1 The cut test equipment can pose a potential hazard to thetechnician if proper safety precautions

Sampling8.1 Lot SampleAs a lot sample for acceptance testing,take at random the number of shipping units directed in anapplicable material specification.8.2 Laboratory SampleAs a laboratory sample for accep-tance testing, tak

32、e at random from each shipping unit in the lotsample, the number of packages or pieces directed in anapplicable material specification or other agreement betweenthe purchaser and the supplier.9. Conditioning9.1 Condition test specimens as indicated in PracticeD 1776.10. Procedure10.1 Test Specimens:

33、Cut a 50 mm by 100-mm 2 in. by 4-in. specimen at randomfrom each laboratory sampling unit. Cut all woven and knitstructures on the bias with the goal of making an angle of 0.785rad (45) between the warp and filling (wale and course)directions of the fabric and the blade.10.2 Preparation for Testing:

34、10.2.1 Test apparatus:10.2.1.1 Plug in cut test apparatus without weights or bladesin operating position.10.2.1.2 Turn machine on and adjust the motor drivenbalanced arm to ready position.10.2.1.3 Calibrate lever arm balance. See Annex or instru-ment manufacturers operating instructions.10.2.2 Speci

35、men mounting:10.2.2.1 Cover mandrel face with double-face tape.10.2.2.2 Place a 6-mm 0.25-in. strip of conductive foilcentered down the length of the mandrel on the double-facetape. Clip the end of this foil to the mandrel, or attach itsecurely to the electrical circuit that detects cut through inso

36、me other fashion.10.2.2.3 Without stretching or distorting it, place a speci-men over the tape with the surface to be cut facing up. Applyfirm pressure on the specimen.10.2.2.4 Insert the mandrel in the support column with therounded side facing the motor-driven balanced arm and alignso that the bla

37、de contact is centered on the rounded surface.Tighten mandrel in place, if appropriate.10.3 Validation of cutting edge supply:10.3.1 Calibrate the cutting edge supply using the Neoprenesheet calibration material.10.3.2 Cut a 50 mm by 100-mm 2 in. by 4-in. specimen ofthe calibration material and foll

38、ow mounting procedure de-tailed in 10.2.2.10.3.3 Validate the cutting edge supply by using a load of500 g on the calibration material at the beginning and end ofeach sample being tested, or validate one blade out of 20 foreach blade supply or manufacturing lot number. If using theTDM-100 tester or C

39、PP tester with modified arm, the cutthrough length for the calibration material must be between 15and 25 mm 0.6 and 1.0 in. If using the CPP tester with thestraight arm, the cut through length for the calibration materialmust be between 10 and 15 mm 0.4 and 0.6 in. The cutthrough lengths for all the

40、 blades in a lot should not differ inlength by more than 10 mm 0.40 in. Read the distance meterand record the distance if the cut through is within theacceptable range.10.3.4 When the length of cut through is outside thesedistances, check for the following:10.3.4.1 The cutting edges being used are n

41、ew.10.3.4.2 The Neoprene material is the same as that specifiedin Section 6.10.3.4.3 The calibration procedure for the lever arm indi-cates that the force at point of contact is generated by aneffective weight of 500 g, allowing for any lever-arm effects.10.4 Test procedure7:10.4.1 Cut the test spec

Make certain thatonly the blade edge and not

44、the corner of the blade is touchingthe specimen.10.4.8 Acut through should occur within one full traverse ofthe blade. The machine will stop automatically. Read thedistance meter, and record the distance and corresponding loadif the cut through is within the length range from 5 mm to 50mm 0.2 to 2.0

45、 in.10.4.9 For electrically conductive materials, take care toavoid premature electrical contact. An 8-mm 0.38-in. strip oftissue paper may need to be carefully aligned on top of theconductive foil strip before positioning the specimen.10.4.10 If no cut through occurs within one full traverse ofthe

46、blade, stop the machine. Lock the cutting arm with bladeoff the specimen, and remove the weights and blade. Move thespecimen 6 mm 0.25 in. to a new spot, install a new blade,7A CD-ROM (Adjunct No. ADJF1790) about this procedure is available. TheCD-ROM contains video which highlights key changes betw

Move the specimen 6 mm0.25 in. to a new spot, install a new blade, increase ordecrease the load, return the motor-driven balanced arm to theready position, zero the distance meter, and retest.
