1、Designation:D7842/D7842M12Standard Test Method forHolding Strength of Tack and Prong Fastener AttachedButtons1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7842/D7842M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year o
2、f last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the holdingstrength of a tack and prong fastener attached button using atens
3、ile testing machine.1.2 This test method is applicable to attached buttons ingarments or to be attached to fabrics intended for use in apparel(see Annex A1).1.3 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.Thevalues stated in each system may
4、 not be exact equivalents;therefore,each system shall be used independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibilit
5、y of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D76 Specification for Tensile Testing Machines for TextilesD123 Terminology Relating to TextilesD1776

10、ner,or thefabric is torn.The peak force at separation is reported as theholding strength.If the fabric tears,the peak force at fabricfailure is recorded and the data is reported and considered as adifferent category to be reported separately from the holdingstrength of the fasteners.5.Significance a
11、nd Use5.1 This test method may be used for acceptance testing ofcommercial shipments of garments with attached buttons.5.2 This test method may be used to determine the compat-ibility of tack attached buttons or prong fastener attachedbuttons to fabrics used in apparel.In which case,the buttonsare a
12、ttached to the fabric in the manner in which they will beused and the combined units tested.6.Apparatus6.1 Tensile Testing Machine,CRE type,meeting Specifica-tion D76.(See Fig.3.)6.1.1 Upper Test Fixture,Fig.4,designed as not to malformthe button specimen with interchangeable bottom plates to testa
