18、ditions. Conditions should be representative of those the test assembly would experience during regular production assembly and field service. 4.2.1 Environmental Conditions. Environmental conditions should be representative of those the test assembly would experience during regular production assem

19、bly and field service. When testing plastic fasteners, it may be desirable to repeat the tests at extreme environments common during assembly/disassembly (high temperature/high humidity, low temperature/low humidity) as these may affect the characteristics of the fastener. Nylon parts may need to be

20、 conditioned by immersion in water if parts are dry so that friction and flex modulus are representative of production parts. 4.2.2 Test Conditions. Deviations from the requirements of this standard shall have been agreed upon. Such requirements shall be specified on component drawings, test certifi

21、cates, reports, etc. Loading and constraint conditions should represent those of the test assembly during production. 4.2.2.1 If not specified otherwise in the test request documentation, parts shall be tested under the following conditions: insertion force shall be measured at minimum hole size and

22、 maximum panel thickness, and removal force shall be measured at maximum hole size and minimum panel thickness. 4.3 Instructions. 4.3.1 Option A, Characteristic Installation and Disassembly Performance Data. 4.3.1.1 Record load-displacement data while installing the fastener into the test piece, and

23、 then while removing it, if requested. Use any fixturing and adapters necessary to accurately reproduce installation/removal conditions.
