Apparatus4.1 The apparatus shall consist of a comparator stand havinga flat anvil base at least 6 in. (15 cm) square, equi

8、pped with athickness gage graduated to 0.001 in. (0.02 mm). The gageshall be equipped with a flat presser foot 0.2506 0.01 in. (6.356 0.5 mm) in diameter. The foot shall exert a force of 16 6 0.1ozf (4.45 6 0.03 N) maximum.4.1.1 The contact surfaces of the anvil and the thicknessgage presser foot sh

9、all be parallel within 0.0001 in. (0.003mm).4.1.2 Before placing the micrometer into operation, thesurfaces shall be cleaned so the gage zeros properly.5. Test Specimens5.1 The test specimen shall be a minimum of one tile or a 12by 12-in. (300 by 300-mm) piece of sheet flooring.6. Calibration6.1 Cal

10、ibrate the gage by means of gage blocks or shimstock of known thickness appropriate to the thickness of thematerial being measured.7. Conditioning7.1 Condition the test specimen at least 24 h at 736 3F (236 2C) and 50 6 10 % relative humidity and test in the sameenvironment.8. Procedure8.1 Place the

11、 specimen with the wearing surface upward onthe comparator stand anvil, taking care that the specimen is flatagainst the anvil.8.2 Lower the presser foot gently until it contacts thesurface of the specimen.8.3 Upon contact with the surface, take a reading to thenearest 0.001 in. (0.02 mm) from the g

12、age. Take all measure-ments at least 0.75 in. (19 mm) from any edge of the specimen.8.4 Take a total of five measurements on each specimen, atrandomly selected locations unless otherwise specified.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee F06 on ResilientFloor Coverings and is the

17、ion of this test method is based on aninter-laboratory study of ASTM F386 - 02(2008) Standard TestMethod for Thickness of Resilient Flooring Materials HavingFlat Surfaces, conducted in 2009. Each of five laboratoriestested ten different flooring materials. Every “test result”represents the average o

18、f five individual determinations, and allparticipants were asked to report triplicate test results. Exceptfor the limited number of laboratories participating, andmaterials tested, Practice E691 was followed for the design andanalysis of the data; the details are given in anASTM ResearchReport.311.1

19、.1 Repeatability Limit (r)Two test results obtainedwithin one laboratory shall be judged not equivalent if theydiffer by more than the “r” value for that material; “r”istheinterval representing the critical difference between two testresults for the same material, obtained by the same operatorusing

20、the same equipment on the same day in the samelaboratory.11.1.1.1 Repeatability limits are listed in Table 1.11.1.2 Reproducibility Limit (R)Two test results shall bejudged not equivalent if they differ by more than the “R” valuefor that material; “R” is the interval representing the criticaldiffere

21、nce between two test results for the same material,obtained by different operators using different equipment indifferent laboratories.11.1.2.1 Reproducibility limits are listed in Table 1.11.1.3 The above terms (repeatability limit and reproduc-ibility limit) are used as specified in Practice E177.1

22、1.1.4 Any judgment in accordance with 11.1.1 and 11.1.2would normally have an approximate 95 % probability of beingcorrect, however the precision statistics obtained in this ILSmust not be treated as exact mathematical quantities which areapplicable to all circumstances and uses. The limited numbero

23、f materials tested and laboratories reporting results guaranteesthat there will be times when differences greater than predictedby the ILS results will arise, sometimes with considerablygreater or smaller frequency than the 95 % probability limitwould imply. Consider the repeatability limit and the

24、repro-ducibility limit as general guides, and the associated probabil-ity of 95 % as only a rough indicator of what can be expected.11.2 BiasAt the time of the study, there was no acceptedreference material suitable for determining the bias for this testmethod, therefore no statement on bias is bein

25、g made.11.3 The precision statement was determined through thestatistical examination of a total of 137 analytical results,submitted by the five participating laboratories, on ten flooringmaterials.A: rubber sheet/tileB: rubber sheet/tileC: rubber tileD: rubber tileE: rubber tileF: rubber tileG: lin
