1、Designation:D2692/D2692M15Standard Test Method forAir Permeability of Tire Fabrics,Tire Cord Fabrics,TireCord,and Yarns1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2692/D2692M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,
2、the year of last revision.A number 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 longitudi-nal air permeability for tire fabrics,tire cord fabrics,
3、tire cords,or yarns embedded in cured rubber compound.This testmethod is designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of fabrictreatments intended to prevent air permeability.This testmethod is applicable to fabrics made from all types of fiberswith all types of rubber compound.1.2 The values stated in
4、 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 two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 This standa

10、icance and Use5.1 This test method is considered satisfactory for theacceptance testing of commercial shipments of tire fabricssince this test method has been used extensively in the trade foracceptance testing.This test method is also considered satis-factory for quality control.5.1.1 In case of a
11、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 laboratories.Competent statis-tical assistance
12、is recommended for the investigation of bias.As a minimum,the two parties should take a group of testspecimens that are as homogeneous as possible and that arefrom a lot of material of the type in question.The testspecimens should then be randomly assigned in equal numbersto each laboratory for test
13、ing.The average results from the twolaboratories may be compared using appropriate statisticalanalysis and an acceptable probability level chosen by the twoparties before the testing is begun.If a bias is found,either itscause must be found and corrected or the purchaser and thesupplier must agree t
14、o interpret future test results with consid-eration to the known bias.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D13 on Textilesand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D13.19 on Industrial Fibers andMetallic Reinforcements.Current edition approved Feb.1,2015.Published Apri
