2、vision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of
3、the burst-ing strength of leather by the ball method.It may be used to testa large variety of leathers and leather products.It is particularlyapplicable to light-and medium-weight leathers,such as shoeuppers and garments.This test method does not apply to wetblue.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound
4、units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibi

8、pecimen is mounted in the ball burst fixturewhich is attached to a testing machine,as described in TestMethod D2209.The machine is operated at a jaw separation of4 6 1 in./min.The maximum load registered is recorded.Thebursting strength in lb/in.of thickness is calculated by dividingthe bursting loa
9、d by the thickness of the specimen.5.Significance and Use5.1 This test method is designed to measure the burstingstrength of leather by measuring the force required to force aspherical ended plunger through a piece of leather.Thebursting load and extension will be generally proportional tothe diamet
10、er of the plunger.This test method is suitable fordevelopment,control and service evaluation of the leather.There is good correlation between bursting strength and tensilestrength.This test method may not apply when the conditionsof the test employed differ widely from those specified in thetest met
