Accelerated Exposure of Automotive Interior Trim Components Using a Controlled Irradiance Xenon-Arc Apparatus

2024-02-23
CURRENT
J2412_202402
This test method specifies the operating procedures for a controlled-irradiance, xenon-arc apparatus used for the accelerated exposure of various automotive interior trim components. Test duration, as well as any exceptions to the specimen preparation and performance evaluation procedures contained in this document, are covered in material specifications of the different automotive manufacturers. Any deviation to this test method, such as the use of optical filter combinations, is to be agreed upon by contractual parties.

DYNAMIC FLEX FATIGUE TEST FOR SLAB POLYURETHANE FOAM

1969-03-01
HISTORICAL
J388_196903
This SAE Recommended Practice describes a laboratory test procedure for evaluating the loss of thickness and the amount of structural breakdown of slab polyurethane foam seating materials. A test specimen is measured for thickness under a specified load and subsequently subjected simultaneously to compressive and shear deformation in a controlled atmosphere. This is accomplished by subjecting the foam to a rolling shearing action under a constant load for a specified number of cycles. Specimen thickness under a constant load is obtained after a 1 hr recovery period following dynamic fatigue to determine loss in foam thickness.

Fiberboard Crease Bending Test

2010-05-10
HISTORICAL
J119_201005
This test method is designed to determine the suitability of a painted or unpainted fiberboard for application involving creasing and bending. The specific purpose of the test is to determine whether a given material, properly creased, can be bent along the impressed crease without objectionable failure on the surface of the bend.
