4 Principle
A test piece is securely clamped between rigid coaxial apertures. A polished steel ball traversing at a fixed speed is pressed against the test piece until failure occurs. The force required to cause failure and the displacement of the polished steel ball at failure are recorded.
5 Apparatus and reagents
5.1 Testing machine, power driven, equipped with an electronic force measurement system and an electronic crosshead displacement monitor. The drive system shall be capable of maintaining constant the speed of the moving head to ±10 % of the set value. The force measurement system shall be capable of measuring the relevant forces occurring during the test within class 2 of ISO 7500-1:2018. The crosshead displacement monitor shall be capable of measuring the relevant displacements under load to within ±1,0 mm.
7 Preparation of test pieces
7.1 Take five test pieces across the usable width of the sample (see NOTE), at least 1 mm from the
extremity of the sample, and of sufficient size so that each test piece can be clamped firmly in the clamping system of the test machine. The smaller dimension of each test piece shall be at least 12 mm greater than the outside diameter of the clamping surfaces. Alternatively, the sample may be tested at the requisite location across its width, avoiding areas that have already been used for a test by at least 20 mm.
NOTE The usable width is defined in ISO 2286-1 as that width, excluding the selvedge, which is consistent in its properties, uniformly finished, and free of unacceptable flaws.
7.2 The face of the coated fabric to be tested shall be defined and agreed between the interested
parties. The results might not be the same if the opposite face is tested.
7.3 When it is required to determine the properties of wet material, immerse the test pieces for 24 h in water (5.4), or water containing no more than 0,1 % wetting agent or surfactant (5.5), of about 20 times the total volume of the test pieces at the room temperature. Immediately after removal from the water, rinse the test pieces thoroughly in water and proceed to test within 1 min.BS EN ISO 3303-1 pdf download.
