1.1 本规程涵盖了测定弯曲阻力时柔性屏障材料的调节。可以进行后续测试，以确定弯曲对材料性能的影响。这些测试超出了本规程的范围。 1.2 以国际单位制或英寸-磅单位表示的数值应单独视为标准值。每个系统中规定的值可能不是精确的等效值；因此，每个系统应相互独立使用。将两个系统的值合并可能会导致- 符合标准。 1.3 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.4 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 5.1 该实践在确定软包装材料对弯曲形成的针孔故障的阻力方面很有价值。通常使用调节水平A、B或C。参考实践 E171 和指南 F2097 . 5.2 调节D和E通常用于确定弯曲对屏障性能的影响，与气体和/或水分相关的传输速率。 5.3 本规程不测量或调节与弯曲失效相关的材料磨损。 5.4 多层结构的一个或多个层的完整性故障可能需要替代测试。使用气体或水蒸汽的补充渗透试验可与弯曲试验结合使用，以测量铺层完整性的损失。弯曲后可使用其他测试方法评估针孔的存在。有关测试方法的列表，请参阅指南 F2097 . 图1 Gelbo轴螺旋槽的平面演变30.70-mm[1.20-in]直径轴 5.4.1 本规程中描述的各种条件旨在防止评估结果为孔太多而无法有效计数（通常大于50个）或孔太少而不显著（每个样品通常小于5个）的材料结构。 在选择测试的调节水平时，应考虑材料结构、测试基础以及与指定目标的相互一致性。

1.1 This practice covers conditioning of flexible barrier materials for the determination of flex resistance. Subsequent testing can be performed to determine the effects of flexing on material properties. These tests are beyond the scope of this practice. 1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 This practice is valuable in determining the resistance of flexible packaging materials to flex-formed pinhole failures. Conditioning levels A, B, or C are typically used. Reference Practice E171 and Guide F2097 . 5.2 Conditioning D and E are typically used for determining the effect of flexing on barrier properties transmission rates related to gas and/or moisture. 5.3 This practice does not measure or condition materials for abrasion related to flex failure. 5.4 Failures in the integrity of one or more of the plies of a multi-ply structure may require alternative testing. Supplementary permeation testing using gas or water vapor can be used in conjunction with the flex test to measure the loss of ply integrity. Other test methods may be used after flexing for assessment of presence of pinholes. For a list of test methods, refer to Guide F2097 .

Material structure, testing basis, and a mutual agreement with specified objectives are to be considered in the selection of conditioning level for testing.
