EN ISO 8442-5:2004 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the sharpness and edge retention of knives which are produced for professional and dome

20、stic use in the preparation of food of all kinds, specifically those knives intended for hand use. Powered blade instruments of any kind are excluded. Generally these types of knives are manufactured with blades of either plain edge design or with edges incorporating particular features to enhance o

21、r optimize aspects of cutting ability. The following two types of knife blade are suitable for the cutting test: Type A edges: Cutting edges which can be resharpened by the user and edges with a pitch greater than 1 mm; Type B edges: Cutting edges which are not intended to be resharpened on a steel.

22、 Whilst these knives are predominantly manufactured with blades made from various grades of heat treated steels, the testing of knives of any construction or blade material is not precluded providing that the test criteria are met. The principle of the testing is to reproduce a cutting action, by fo

23、rward and reverse strokes, against a pack of synthetic test medium under controlled parameters. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 cutlery utensils for the preparation and serving of food having a blade with a cutting ed

24、ge 2.2 centre line line which generally bisects the cross-section of the blade passing through the cutting edge and the back of the blade (see Figure 1) EXAMPLE EN ISO 8442-5:2004 (E) 5 Figure 1 Centreline 2.3 initial cutting performance (ICP) cutting ability to be expected by the user from a knife

25、when supplied “as new” from the factory or point of sale 2.4 cutting edge retention (CER) ability of the knife blades edge to resist wear throughout its useful life 2.5 total card cut (TCC) cumulative amount of card cut (measured in millimetres) by the test knife over the duration of a full test 2.6

26、 cutting cycle one forward plus one reverse stroke of the designated length of the blade against the medium 3 Testing 3.1 General When tested in accordance with the test method of clause 7 each type of knife shall conform to 3.2 to 3.4. This test shall be carried out before any other physical or mec

27、hanical test so that edge performances are assessed in the “as received” condition. 3.2 Test length The portion of the cutting edge of the blade to be tested (see 3.3) shall be straight except for a maximum deviation (positive or negative, not both) of 1 mm. In the case of type “ B “ edges the shape

28、 of the blade is considered to be the underlying profile on which the detail is superimposed (see Figure 2). EN ISO 8442-5:2004 (E) 6 Key A Max. deviation from straight (shown positive) B Stroke length Figure 2 Blade to be tested 3.3 Test conditions The same test is applied to both types of knives b

29、ut the duration for the purpose of establishing cutting edge retention is determined by the type of edge. Test parameters are given in Table 1. Table 1 Cutting test parameters Blade edge Type Test load N Stroke Length (mm) Nominal cutting speed (mm/s) Total no. Cutting cycles (F) A 50 40 50 60 B 50

30、40 50 200 3.4 Cutting performance When tested in accordance with clause 7 the minimum initial cutting performance (ICP) and cutting edge retention (CER) shall conform to the performance levels specified in Table 2. Table 2 Performance levels Blade edge type Minimum ICP mm Minimum CER (TCC) mm A 50 1

31、50 B 50 1 500 4 Principle Performance of the blade in terms of distance cut through the medium on each cycle is measured throughout the duration of the test, which is designed to accelerate wear of the knife blade over a short period. Blades shall cut an adequate amount of medium to complete the tes

32、t and the two cutting performance indicators ICP and CER are calculated in accordance with clause 8 from the accumulated data. EN ISO 8442-5:2004 (E) 7 5 Test medium A specially developed chemical pulp is produced in the form of sheets of card containing a controlled amount of abrasive material i.e.

33、 quartz. This card shall be pure chemical soda pulp without any other chemical additive except for the addition of silica in the proportion of (5 0,5) % by weight. The properties of the quartz shall conform to Tables 3 to 5. The quartz shall have the percentage composition of chemical elements speci

34、fied in Table 3. Table 3 Composition of silica abrasive Compound Composition % SiO 299 Fe 0,013 Al 2 O 30,22 MgO Nil Alkalines Nil The grain size distribution of quartz shall be as specified in Table 4.

The

36、 physical properties of each strip shall be as specified in Table 5. Table 5 Physical properties Thickness mm Weight g/m Strip (pack) width mm 0,31 0,02 200 10 10,0 0,1 EN ISO 8442-5:2004 (E) 8 Before use, the test medium shall be conditioned in a controlled atmosphere of (55 5) % relative humidity

37、at (20 2) C for a period of 24 h. The card shall be open to this atmosphere and used within 4 h of removal from it. 6 Apparatus NOTE A suitable apparatus for performing the cutting test is shown in Figure 3 and comprises the elements of 6.1 to 6.6. 6.1 Card strip holder A rigid holder with a 10 mm w

38、ide aperture to hold the strips of card (max. 50 mm deep). The holder shall provide sideways restraint against the cutting force of the knife and also a support bar above the card, which protrudes, from the holder to provide the reaction against the 50 N test load throughout the test. The card pack

39、shall be clamped by a force of (130 2,5) N on the inboard side of the cutting line and any cut card shall be allowed to fall away freely (see also Figure 4). 6.2 Counterbalance arrangement An arrangement of add-on or counterbalance weights, which in conjunction with the card and holder, vertical sli

40、de element and all its fittings shall result in a total vertical static load at the interface between card and blade of 50 2 0 +N (average over the working range) at the start of each new test. 6.3 Blade fixture A fixture, which holds the blade and presents the cutting edge uppermost and provides su

41、pport against the test load and also a means of easy levelling of the test lengths. The centre line through the section of the blade shall be vertical. When held in the fixture, the blade edge shall be capable of cutting through the 50 mm of card cleanly without any undue frictional influences excep

42、ting that from the blades sharpened bevel against the face of the uncut card. The blade edge shall be prevented from coming into contact with the metal support bar by means of an independent depth stop. 6.4 Transverse blade slide unit A transverse frictionless slide unit, on which the blade fixture

43、shall be mounted to reduce the influence of friction forces between the blades sharpened bevel and face of the uncut card. This will allow movement of the blade away from the card holder during the cutting strokes, normal to the direction of the cutting strokes. At the beginning of the first stroke

44、through each 50 mm block of card the point at which the blade starts its cut shall be (3 0,2) mm away from the edge of the card holder/clamp. The end of the card pack should be straight and aligned to an approximate angle of 20 to the vertical to allow an approximately equal length of card beyond th

45、e cutting point. 6.5 Longitudinal blade slide unit A longitudinal frictionless slide table, which provides the motion to the blade in the direction of the cutting strokes. This shall have a drive system which is capable of producing a nominal 50 mm/s cutting speed, which is achieved by maintaining a

46、 more or less constant speed of 50 mm/s over at least 90 % of the specified stroke, with rapid acceleration and deceleration at the ends. This parameter will be verified over several non-cutting cycles and the result shall be (45 0,5) mm/s average speed. The stroke shall also be repeatable within (4

47、5 0,5) mm/s average and verified over several non-cutting cycles of the table. 6.6 Card cut amount transducer A displacement transducer, capable of measuring the depth of cut through the pack of card on each cutting cycle, with a minimum resolution of 0,1 mm (i.e. 1/3 card thickness).
