1、Designation:D 4507 93aAn American National StandardStandard Specification forThermoplastic Polyester(TPES)Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4507;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year o
2、f last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers thermoplastic polyester mate-rials suitable for molding or extrusion.1.2 This specification is
3、 intended to be a means of callingout plastic materials used in the fabrication of end use items orparts.It is not intended for the selection of materials.Materialselection should be made by those having expertise in theplastics field after careful consideration of the design andperformance required
4、 of the part,the environment to which itwill be exposed,the fabrication process to be employed,theinherent properties of the material other than those covered bythis specification,and the economics.1.3 The properties included in this specification are thoserequired to identify the compositions cover
5、ed.There may beother requirements necessary to identify particular character-istics important to specialized applications.These will beagreed upon between the user and the supplier,by using thesuffixes as given in Section 5.1.4 The values stated in SI units,as detailed in PracticeE 380,are to be reg
6、arded as the standard.1.5 This standard should be used to measure and describethe properties of materials,products,or assemblies in responseto heat and flame under controlled laboratory conditions andshould not be used to describe or appraise the fire hazard orfire risk of materials,products,or asse
7、mblies under actual fireconditions.However,results of this test may be used aselements of a fire risk assessment which takes into account allof the factors which are pertinent to an assessment of the firehazard of a particular end use.NOTE1This specification is similar to ISO 7792/1-1985(E),although
