Foreword
This Standard was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This Standard uses the redrafting method to modify and adopt ISO 5402-2:2015,
“Leather - Determination of flex resistance - Part 2: Vamp flex method”.
Compared with ISO 5402-2:2015, this Standard makes the following technical
modifications to adapt to the actual situation of China:
-- With regard to the normative references, this Standard makes technical
adjustments to adapt to the technical conditions of China. The
adjustments are concentrated in Chapter 2 “Normative references”. The
specific adjustments are as follows:
● Use GB/T 6682 which modifies and adopts international standards to
replace ISO 3696 (see 4.4);
● Use GB/T 39364 which modifies and adopts international standards to
replace ISO 2418 (see 5.1);
● Use QB/T 2707 which modifies and adopts international standards to
replace ISO 2419 (see 4.2, 5.3.1, 6.5 and 6.9);
-- Modify the "Instance graph of wrinkles of the bending test sample" to an
ink drawing [see Figure 2b)];
-- Add instructions for sampling of non-standard parts (see 5.1);
-- Change paragraph 2 of 5.1 to the note to 5.2 (see 5.2);
-- Change paragraph 2 of 6.5 to the note to 6.5 (see 6.5);
-- Add specific adjustment time requirements after the completion of the wet
test; add a note on the adjustment time (see 6.5 and 6.9);
-- Add a footnote to the explanation of "efflorescence" (see footnote).
This Standard also makes the following editorial or structural changes:
-- Change the standard name into “Leather - Physical and mechanical tests
- Determination of flex resistance: Vamp flex method”;
-- Divide 5.1 into "5.1 Sampling" and "5.2 Sample preparation"; add article
titles;
Leather - Physical and mechanical tests -
Determination of flex resistance: Vamp flex method
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the determination method of flex resistance of dry or
wet leather and leather coatings.
This Standard applies to the determination of flex resistance of various types of
leather whose thickness is less than 3.0 mm.
2 Normative references
The following documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
For dated references, only the dated version applies to this document. For
undated references, the latest edition (including all amendments) applies to this
document.
GB/T 6682, Water for analytical laboratory use - Specification and test
methods (GB/T 6682-2008, ISO 3696:1987, MOD)
GB/T 39364, Leather - Chemical, physical, mechanical and fastness tests -
Sampling location (GB/T 39364-2020, ISO 2418:2017, MOD)
QB/T 2707, Leather - Physical and mechanical tests - Sample preparation
and conditioning (QB/T 2707-2018, ISO 2419:2012, MOD)
3 Principle
Clamp the test surface of the sample on the reversed V-shaped fixture for a
bending test; fold it outwards. The relative movement of the fixture causes the
sample to bend, so as to form a downward wrinkle that is surrounded by 4
upward wrinkles; check the damage of the sample.
4 Equipment
4.1 Flex resistance testing machine, which shall include the following
components:
5 Sampling and sample preparation
5.1 Sampling
Perform according to the provisions of GB/T 39364. If it is not possible to take
samples from standard parts (such as direct sampling from leather products
such as shoes), take samples from any part within the available area. The
samples shall be representative and indicated in the test report.
5.2 Preparation of specimens
Use a die cutter (4.2) to respectively cut 4 specimens parallel to the back line
and perpendicular to the back line from the test surface, two for dry test and
two for wet test.
Note: If there are more than two samples in the same batch of products that
need to be tested, cut at least two specimens in each direction of each
sample, one for dry test, and one for wet test. The total number of
specimens in each direction is not less than 4.
5.3 Adjustment and pretreatment of specimens
5.3.1 Dry test
Carry out the adjustment of specimens in accordance with the provisions of
QB/T 2707; carry out the test in the standard atmosphere that is used for the
adjustment.
5.3.2 Wet test
Use about 1 mL of distilled water or deionized water to wipe the meat surface
of the sample, to moisten the specimen. Re-wet the sample after every 25 000
times of bending; then, continue the bending test immediately.
6 Test procedure
6.1 Remove the upper part of the fixture (4.1.1); adjust each pair of fixtures to
the maximum separation position.
6.2 Fold the specimen in half, with the test surface of the specimen facing up;
install it on the V-shaped fixture; use the upper part of the fixture to fix the
specimen; ensure that the sample is not slack. The direction of the back line of
the two test samples is consistent with the direction of the moving axis of the
fixture; the other two test samples are perpendicular to the direction of the back
line and the moving axis of the fixture.
6.3 Slowly move each pair of fixtures closer; observe the specimen; ensure that
the center of each specimen has an inward wrinkle (Figure 2). If not, press
lightly on the center of the specimen when the fixtures are moved together, to
form an inward wrinkle.
6.4 Run the instrument to the specified flex endurance times. The specified flex
endurance times can be selected from the following times:
-- Dry test: 50 000, 100 000, 250 000, 500 000, 1 000 000 times;
-- Wet test: 50 000, 100 000 times.
Besides, based on the above-mentioned flex resistance times, take the wet
sample out after every 25 000 times, to check the " efflorescence"1); then, wet
it again; reinstall the machine to continue the test.
Note: If necessary, other specified flex resistance times can also be used.
6.5 Stop the testing machine and take out the specimen. In good light, inspect
the sample with the naked eye and a magnifying glass (4.3). The sample shall
be inspected both in the flat and folded state. Record any damage to the flexed
part, ignoring the part that is clamped by the fixture. If it is necessary to observe
and judge the loose surface of the leather after the test, cut the flexed part to
observe.
Note: Since the sample will be severely damaged after cutting, the subsequent
test cannot be carried out. Therefore, it is recommended to do it after
completing the test.
The damage shall include the following:
a) Creases in the inner bending area of the center;
b) Cracks in the inner bending area of the center;
c) Cracks in the external bending area;
d) Layering or peeling of the surface coating;
e) Cracks that extend to the edge of the sample;
f) Wet test: When the wet test is completed, adjust the sample in the standard
atmosphere that is specified in QB/T 2707 until it is stable. The adjustment
time shall not be less than 24 h. Check the "efflorescence" of the sample.
1) During the wet flex resistance test, due to the high humidity, the compositions of moisture molecules
inside the leather that carry the collagen fiber gap migrate to the leather surface to form white frost,
which is usually called bloom or salt efflorescence.
