Significance and Use 4.1 Test Methods A und B are used to establish the weight of the dat when $0 % of the specimens fail under the conditions specified. Data obtained by one test method cannot be com pared directly with the other test method nor with those ‘obiained from tests employing different conditions of missile velocity impinging surface diameter, effective specimen diam- ter and thickness. The values obtained by these test variables are highly dependent on the method of film fabrication, 42 The results obiained by Test Methods A and Bare srcatly influenced by the quality of film under test. The confidence limits of data obtained by this procedure can, therefore, vary significantly, depending on the sample quality, uniformity of film gage, die marks, contaminants, ete. (see Section 15), 43 Test Methods A and B have been found useful for specication purposes. Correlation between test results and field performance ean usually be established. 444 The impact resistance of plastic film, while party dependent on thickness, has no simple correlation with sample thickness. Hence, impact values cannot be normalized over a range of thickness without producing misleading data as to the sotval impact resistante of the material. Data from these test methouls are comparable only for specimens that vary by no ‘more than =25 % ftom the nominal or average thickness ofthe specimens tested, 45 Several impact test methods are used for film. It is sometimes desirable 10 know the relationships among test results derived by different test methods. A study was con- ‘ducted in which four films made from two resins (polypropy- lene and linear low-density polyethylene), with two film thicknesses for each resin, were impacted using Test Methods 1709 (Method A).

If slippage occurs, tis js reason to reject the results. The likelihood of occurrence of slippage increases with increasing dart weight and with in- ‘reasing drop height and is greater with some materials than ‘vith others. Slippage may be checked conveniently during the Course of testing of a routine sample at a. missile weight wherein both failures and non-filures are being observed. Either of the following procedures is effective. 8.2.1 Before dropping the missile on a clamped specimen. raw a circle on the film using a ball-point pen in contact with the inside wall of the upper clamp. Apply only the pressure of the pen itself to the film, After the dart is dropped and prior 10 removing the plastic film, draw another circle using a ball point pen of another color. If the lines are drawn, distinct ouble lines at any point on the circumference show that slippage has occurred.
