7、eparation is accomplished bysimply peeling apart.Terms herein referring to hook and loopfastening systems shall be construed to include other types oftouch fasteners in which the fastening strength in the shearmode(that is,against forces applied in the plane of thefastener)substantially exceeds the

10、 parallel to thesurfaces of the specimens.5.Significance and Use5.1 This test method gives a measure of a key property ofhook and loop touch fasteners which is of interest to users ofsuch devices.This is a means of determining the resistance toseparation when forces are applied parallel to the plane
11、 of thefastener.5.2 In the case of a dispute arising from differences inreported test results when using this test method for acceptancetesting of commercial shipments,the purchaser and the sup-plier should conduct comparative tests to determine if there isa statistical bias between their laboratori
12、es.Competent statis-tical assistance is recommended for the investigation of bias.As a minimum,the two parties should take a group of testspecimens which are as homogenous as possible and which arefrom a lot of hook and loop of the type in question.The testspecimens should then be randomly assigned
13、in equal numbersto each laboratory for testing.The average results from the twolaboratories should be compared using Students t-test and anacceptable probability level chosen by the two parties beforethe testing began.If a bias is found,either its cause must befound and corrected or the purchaser an
14、d the supplier mustagree to interpret future test results in the light of the knownbias.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D13 on Textilesand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D13.54 on Subassemblies.Current edition approved Feb.1,2015.Published April 2015.Origin
