Significance and Use3.1 Both dimension and squareness of resilien

6、t floor tile areimportant considerations, because installed flooring may ex-hibit an objectionable appearance when either or both charac-teristics deviate from established tolerances. This test methodprovides a means of determining actual dimensions and square-ness by using a single apparatus and pr

7、ocedure.4. Apparatus4.1 The apparatus shall consist of four dial gages and tworeference index strips mounted on a flat bedplate in a configu-ration that, by rotation of the sample, allows the measurementof all four sides of resilient tile samples (see Fig. 1). One edgeof the bedplate is elevated to

8、create a test surface which isoffset or tilted 15 6 1 degrees from horizontal. This offsetapplies minimal pressure to the test specimen against thelonger index strip to ensure repeatable measurement. A refer-ence plate representing target tile size and squareness is used tozero all dial gages (see F

9、ig. 2).4.2 Dial GagesThe four dial gages are mounted in guideslots that are machined into the bedplate to allow for measure-ment of various tile sizes while remaining within 10% of thecorner of the tile edge (for the two corner gages and onesquareness gage) or within the central 10% of the tile edge

10、 (forthe center gage only). Dial gages may report measurementsusing either electrical or mechanical means, but they shall begraduated to read 0.001 in. (0.02 mm) and have a stem travelgreater than 0.25 in. (6 mm). The contact foot of the dial-gagestem shall be flat 0.500.75 6 0.001 in. (12.719.1 mm

11、6 0.2mm) in diameter and exert a total force of not more than 3.0 60.1 ozf (0.83 6 0.003 N). Dial gages shall be securelypositioned so that when the reference plate is in place, thecontact foot is extended approximately 50% of its full travel.4.3 Index StripsThe apparatus contains 2 fixed indexstrip

12、s. A horizontal index strip shall be mounted parallel to andjust inside the lower edge of the bedplate. It shall be 1.5 6 0.1in. (38 6 3 mm) greater in length and a minimum of twice thethickness of the largest tile to be tested. A second index stripshall be mounted 90 6 10 s (1.57080 6 0.00005 rad.)

13、 to thehorizontal index strip. The lower end of this index strip shall be0.125 6 0.01 in. (3.1 6 0.25 mm) above the right end of thehorizontal index strip and is used to locate one corner of thesample tile.4.4 Reference PlateThe reference plate shall be made tothe target dimensions of the manufactur

14、ed tile. The length andwidth dimensions shall be within 6 0.001 in. (0.02 mm) of thespecified dimensions of the resilient tile. The reference plateshall contain at least two sides which are perpendicular to 906 10 s (1.57080 6 0.00005 rad.) to one another and are usedto set the squareness gage to ze

15、ro.5. Specimens5.1 The specimens shall consist of 5 full size tiles.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee F06 on ResilientFloor Coverings and is the direct responsibility of F06.20 Test Methods - ProductsConstruction/Materials.Current edition approved Nov. 1, 2010.

17、he standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.1Copyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.6. Conditioning6.1 Condition the test specimens, reference plate, and appa-ratus a minimum of 24 h at 73.4 6 1.8F (23 6 1C) and 506

18、 5% relative humidity. Tests shall be conducted in this sameenvironment. Samples shall be conditioned on a flat surfacesuch as a table or floor surface to ensure they will contact thebedplate uniformly during measurement.7. Procedure7.1 Place the appropriate reference plate onto the bedplatesurface

19、and slide it firmly against the two index strips. Set eachof the four dial indicators to zero. Remove the reference plate.All dial indicators will now reflect their fully extended mea-surements. In the case of digital dial indicators, the display willindicate a negative number. In the case of mechan

20、ical dialindicators, the display will move counter-clockwise from zero.NOTE 1Dirt and foreign particles may collect along the upper face ofthe index strip and affect the zero setpoint. Use a small brush to maintainthe cleanliness of the index strip surfaces before and after each use.7.2 Measuring Si

21、ze and SquarenessIdentify one edge ofthe sample tile as “Edge #1” by attaching a label to the face ofthe tile near that edge. Place the tile into the apparatus andcarefully move it into position such that it will depress all fourdial gages and is in firm contact with both index strips. Recordthe mea

22、surements on all four gages to the nearest 0.001 in.(0.02 mm).7.3 Remove the tile from the bedplate and rotate it 90 in theclockwise direction. Repeat the process described in 7.2 andrecord the four gage readings. Repeat for each of the tworemaining sides.7.4 After all samples have been measured, pl

23、ace the refer-ence gage back on the bedplate to verify that no movement ofdial gages has occurred. A movement of greater than 0.001 in.(0.02 mm) shall be cause to repeat the measurement process.8. Calculations8.1 Tile SizeRecord all measurements in the formatshown in Table 1. Measurements shall be r

24、ecorded to thenearest 0.001 in. (0.02 mm) for all gages. The four rotationsprovide two measurements of the length and width at the centerand both edges of each of the tile specimens. Report thedimensions and squareness for each specimen using the for-mulas in 8.2.8.2 Perform the following calculatio

25、ns using Table 1 data todetermine length, width, and squareness deviations for thesample tile. The final report shall include tile size, test date, andlength, width, and squareness deviations.Length and Width Deviation Squareness DeviationLength Deviation, Left Side = (1A+3C)/2 Corner 1 = (D1)Length

Precision and Bias10.1 The precision of this test method is based on anintralaboratory study of F2055, Size and Squareness of Resil-ient Floor Tile by Dial Gage Method, conducted in 2007. Eachof seven laboratories tested six different types of flooring tilematerials for

28、deviations across their length, width, and diago-nal. Every “test result” represents an individual determination.All participating laboratories reported ten replicate test results(from one operator) for each type of flooring material. PracticeE691 was followed for the design and analysis of the data
