1、Designation:D541695(Reapproved 2020)Standard Test Method forEvaluating Abrasion Resistance of Stretch Wrap Films byVibration Testing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5416;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of rev
2、ision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method compares the abrasion resistance ofsimilar types of stretch wrap films.1.2 This standard
3、 does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.3 This internationa
4、l standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2

7、2.3 wrap cycle,nthe series of operations used to wrap aload.4.Significance and Use4.1 This test method is intended to provide only a compara-tive procedure for evaluating unknown films against a standardor control film whose performance has been defined asadequate in actual field conditions.4.2 This
8、 test method leaves open to the discretion of the userseveral key factors,including film wrap method,abrasionsurfaces,and definition of failure,so that it can be tailored toan individual users distribution parameters.4.3 This test method is meant to simulate,in an acceleratedmode,the abrasion that a
9、n outer wrapping of film mightencounter in a typical shipping and distribution environment.4.4 This is a test procedure that allows the user to makerelative comparisons of the abrasion resistance of a film,suchas that the film is containing a palletized load while that loadis undergoing vibration.5.
10、Equipment and Preparation5.1 Load Wrapping ApparatusA machine or apparatus towrap the test load.The method of application is preferably asnear as possible to that used in an actual production situation(for example,stretch wrapper or manual wrapping unit).5.2 Vertical Vibration Table,preferably equip
11、ped with thecapability of varying the frequency or amplitude,or both,ofvibration in a controlled fashion and maintaining a set vibrationmode.5.3 Upright SupportsRigid upright supports that can bebolted or secured otherwise to the vibration table.Thesesupports shall also be adjusted laterally so as t
12、o confine the testload and prevent excessive side to side movement or toppling.5.4 Abrasive Surfaces,attached to the inner faces of uprightsupports so that the wrapped test load comes into contact withand abrades against this surface during the test sequence.5.4.1 The abrasive surface can be compose
13、d of any one of avariety of possible substances,chosen at the users discretion,to simulate the actual abrasive surfaces that might be encoun-tered in the actual distribution cycle.Possibilities include1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D10 onPackaging and is the direct res
