2、umber 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 fatigue oftire cords in rubber due to compression or extension,or both,using a disc fatigue tes
3、ter.The fatigue is measured as a loss instrength.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the t

7、.1.2 For definitions of other terms related to textiles,seeTerminology D123.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 disc fatigue is a measure of the strength loss of a tirecord,which is subjected to repeated stresses.The stresses areaccomplished by subjecting the tire cords,after being cured inrubber,to repeate
8、d cycles of compression and extension.4.2 The specimen of interest is the cord after it has beenstressed and later removed from the rubber in which it wasimbedded.Cord specimens are placed between strips of rubbercompound and molded into blocks.The specimen block is thenmounted between two rotating
9、discs that are positioned in sucha way that the specimen will undergo compression orextension,or both,as the discs rotate.After a specified numberof cycles,the cords are removed from the blocks and theirbreaking force measured on a tensile testing machine.Thefatigue,based on the unfatigued specimen
10、strength,is ex-pressed as a percent strength loss in fatigued specimens.5.Significance and Use5.1 This test method is not recommended for acceptancetesting of commercial shipments in the absence of reliableinformation on between-laboratory precision.5.1.1 If there are differences of practical signif
11、icance be-tween the reported test results for two laboratories(or more),acomparative test should be performed to determine if there is astatistical bias between them,using competent statistical assis-tance.As a minimum,test samples should be used that are ashomogeneous as possible,that are drawn fro
12、m a material fromwhich the disparate test results were obtained,and that arerandomly assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory fortesting.Other fabrics with established test values may be usedfor this purpose.The test results from the two laboratoriesshould be compared using a statistical test fo
13、r unpaired data,ata probability level chosen prior to the testing series.If a bias isfound,either its cause must be found and corrected,or futuretest results must be adjusted in consideration of the knownbias.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D13 on Textilesand is the dire
