Compressibility Clause Samples
The Compressibility clause defines the requirements and standards for how materials or products must respond to compression forces. Typically, this clause specifies acceptable limits for deformation or volume reduction when a material is subjected to pressure, often referencing industry standards or test methods. For example, it may require that a foam used in packaging must not compress beyond a certain percentage under a specified load. The core function of this clause is to ensure that materials maintain their integrity and performance under expected conditions, thereby preventing product failure or damage during use or transport.
Compressibility. Replacement brake lining assemblies and replacement drum brake linings of the type for which approval is requested shall be tested for compressibility according to standard either ISO 6310:1981, ISO 6310:2001 or ISO 6310:2009. Flat specimens according to sample type I may be used. The compressibility values shall not exceed 2 per cent at ambient temperature and 5 per cent at 400 °C for pad assemblies and 2 per cent at ambient temperature and 4 per cent at 200 °C for shoe assemblies and drum brake linings.
Compressibility. The measurement hereunder shall be corrected for deviation from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ law using a method at ELC’s option on a not unduly discriminatory basis and in accordance with AGA Report No. 8, Compressibility Factor of Natural Gas and Related Hydrocarbon Gases (1994), as amended from time to time.
Compressibility. A sufficient number of tests shall be performed on representative samples from each strata designated in the field exploration to adequately determine shear strength, settlement potential, grain size distribution, seismic design properties, and bearing capacity. All testing and sampling are to be performed in accordance with AASHTO, ASTM, or MDOT procedures and industry standards. Unconfined Compression (UC, AASHTO T208) and Unconsolidated-Undrained (UU, AASHTO T296) triaxial compression tests shall be used to determine the shear strength characteristics of cohesive soils. A wide range of confining pressures shall be used with representative samples from each zone to develop a ▇▇▇▇’▇ failure envelope. Consolidated-undrained (CU, AASHTO T297) triaxial compression tests and 3-point direct shear tests (AASHTO T236) shall be performed when required by the Geotechnical Branch. Consolidation tests shall be performed on representative samples of all potentially compressible soil strata. The in-situ void ratio, saturation percentage, specific gravity, over-consolidation ratio, and coefficients of compression and vertical drainage shall be determined for these tests. The angle of internal friction for each sand zone shall be determined by performing triaxial tests at three (3) relative densities. The relative densities shall be 15, 50, and 85 percent. Three (3) confining pressures shall be utilized at each relative density. These pressures are 20, 40, and 60 psi. A total of nine (9) sand triaxial tests (points) will be run per set in order to define the failure envelope at 15, 50, and 85 percent relative densities.
Compressibility. The measurement of gas will be corrected for deviation from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Law at the pressures and temperatures under which gas is measured by use of the calculation appearing in the America Gas Association Committee Report #8 as supplemented or amended. Inert content of the metered gas stream used in the calculations shall be determined by a chromatographic analysis using spot sampling when deliveries begin and thereafter by (i) chromatographic analysis not less than annually, (ii) or chromatographic input at each of the points where the gas is received and delivered.
