1、Designation:B75410(Reapproved 2015)1Standard Test Method forMeasuring and Recording the Deviations from Flatness inCopper and Copper Alloy Strip1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B754;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the
2、case of revision,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.1NOTEEditorial changes were made in 1.1,1.5 and 2.1 in May 2015.1.Scope*1.1 This test method establishes
3、a procedure for the mea-surement of distortions in thin metal strip and the application ofthese measurements to an equation that will indicate thedeviation from flatness.1.2 The distortions to be measured in this test method aredish,wavy edges,buckle,longitudinal corrugation,and her-ringbone.1.3 Thi
4、s test method is not intended to include the measure-ment of coil set or longitudinal curl,camber or edgewisecurvature,or twist.1.4 This test method is limited to metal strip 0.003 to 0.020in.(0.08 to 0.50 mm)thick and not more than 6.0 in.(150.0mm)wide.1.5 UnitsThe values stated in inch-pound units
5、 are to beregarded as standard.The values given in parentheses aremathematical conversions to SI units which are provided forinformation only and are not considered standard.1.6 The following safety hazard caveat pertains only to thetest method(s)described in this test method.This standard doesnot p

9、.The relative flatness of the sample isdetermined by measuring length and height of the irregularityand calculating percent of deviation.5.Significance and Use5.1 This test method is intended for measuring distortion instrip used for making close tolerance parts.Since distortion inthis strip would i
10、nfluence the shape of the part being producedand cause difficulties in feeding through close-fitting dies andother manufacturing equipment,it is important that this mate-rial be flat.5.2 This test method provides a universal procedure formeasuring the irregularities that cause the deviation fromflat
11、ness.5.3 This test method allows the purchaser and manufacturerto inspect strip with a standard technique to a mutually agreedupon and acceptable percentage deviation from flatness.6.Apparatus6.1 Surface Plate,to be used as a reference flat.It must havea large enough surface area to accommodate the
