2、r Design of Molds for Test Specimens of Plastic Molding Materials Tbis standard is issued under the fied designation D 647;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of onghal adoption or,in the c a s e of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates
3、the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon(6)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved fir use by agencies of the Deparimenr o f Definse.Consult the DoD Index of Speccations and aandards fir the specc year of issue which has been adopt
4、ed by the Depariment o f Definse.1,Scope 1.1 This practice covers the design of molds for test specimens of plastic materials.Designs are shown for com-pression molds(Figs.1-4),a transfer mold(Fig.5)for use in producing bar,disk,and tensile test specimens in thermoset-ting plastic materiais primaril
5、y,and an injection mold(Fig.5)for use in producing bar,disk,and tensile test specimens in either thermoplastic or thermosetting materials.The plastic and mold temperatures,pressure and cycle timing used for the molding material should conform to the appropriate molding practice,if available,or to th
6、e material specification.If such information is not available,the recom-mendations of the material supplier should be followed,1.2 Designs shown have been found suitable for a broad range of plastics but may not be optimum for any given materiai.Only the specimen dimensions are actually standardized
7、?1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.The values in parentheses are given for informa-tion only.1.4 This standard may involve hazardous materials,oper-ations,and eqirbment.This standard does not purport to address all ofthe safety probletns associated with its use.It
