1、Designation: D 7330 07Standard Test Method forAssessment of Surface Appearance Change in Pile FloorCoverings Using Standard Reference Scales1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 7330; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the

2、case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the assessment of changes ofsurface appearance of pile floor co

3、verings after exposure toactual or simulated foot traffic. This test method applies to pileyarn floor coverings that are, or have been, installed; laboratoryfloor-trafficked samples; or textiles floor coverings traffickedby mechanical traffic simulators. The subjective assessment isfacilitated by us

Summary of Test Method4.1 The floor covering shall be tested in a

9、mechanical wearsimulator or tested under controlled laboratory foot traffic testsreferenced in Practices D 5251, D 5252, D 5417, D6119, andD 6962. The tested floor covering shall then be assessed forsurface appearance change by comparing unexposed controlsto the exposed sample by using the appropria

10、te AppearanceChange Grading Scale.5. Significance and Use5.1 The determination of surface appearance change in pileyarn floor covering is useful in quality and cost control duringmanufacture of pile yarn floor covering. This test method isconsidered satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercials

11、hipments because current estimates of between laboratoryprecision are acceptable, and this test method is commonlyused in trade for acceptance testing.5.2 If there are differences of practical significance betweenreported test results for two laboratories ( or more), compara-tive test should be perf

12、ormed to determine if there is astatistical bias between them, using competent statistical assis-tance. As a minimum, use the samples for such comparativetests that are as homogenous as possible, drawn from the samelot of material as the samples that resulted is desparate resultsduring initial testi

Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units7.1 Test specimens consist of previously esposed specimenstested in accordance to the appropriate test method and anunexposed 9control9 specimen.8. Conditioning8.1 All specimens shall be allowed to recover at ambientroom conditions, undisturbed,

19、for a minimum of 16 hours priorto grading. The specimens shall not be stacked on top of eachother.9. Procedure9.1 Place unexposed and exposed specimens under andperpendicular to the specified lighting such that the unexposedspecimen is adjacent to the exposed portion of the exposedspecimen. The spec

20、imens shall be lain laid in a manner as toorient the pile directions in the same direction.9.2 Select the appropriate reference scale, which mostresembles the construction of the pile yarn floor covering beingassessed9.3 Observing features such as crushing, loss of tuft defini-tion, and matting, cho

22、0 ft.) at a 45-90 anglefrom the specimen. Assessors shall observe specimens fromvarious directions and rate the highest degree of surfacechange.9.5 Each assessor shall grade each specimen independentlyof the other assessors.10.

Precision and Bias12.1 An interlaboratory study was conducted in 1999 inwhich randomly drawn samples of three materials were evalu-ated for surface appearance change by six laboratories. Eachlaboratory used three operators, each of w

The data from eachoperator was calculated indivi

27、dually and not as averages. Thisstudy should be considered a preliminary evaluation, a moreextensive study is currently planned.12.3 Requirements for determining precision of TestMethod D 7330 Carefully examine the data for cases having nodata for a particular material within a lab.
