11、ecovery of carpets”. In addition to incorporating certain necessary technical changes, in this revision the title has been modified slightly, metric units have replaced imperial units, and the term “textile floor covering” has been used in place of the more restrictive “carpet”. The first edition ha

12、s been withdrawn as of the publication date of this revision. The thickness of a textile floor covering depends upon the pressure applied to it. The ability of a textile floor covering to be compressed and to recover after compression is an important factor in its performance. A background paper on

13、this subject was published in Textile Institute and Industry, 11, no.1 (April)1973. A pressure of2 kPa 1)has been adopted for measuring the initial thickness of textile floor coverings since under the conditions of test this pressure has been found to be just sufficient to flatten any protruding fib

14、res without appreciably compressing textile floor coverings of low density. The highest pressure used in this method is200kPa, which appreciably compresses most textile floor coverings. The method of measuring thickness used in this standard is based on that prescribed in BS4051 “Method for determin

15、ation of thickness of textile floor coverings”. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obliga

18、nd/or density of pile, unless these areas can be measured separately. 2 References The titles of the British Standards referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard the following definitions apply: 3.1 initial thickness the

19、thickness of a textile floor covering measured under a pressure of2kPa 3.2 compression the change in thickness of the textile floor covering when the pressure is increased from2kPa to200kPa 3.3 work of compression the work done on the textile floor covering when the pressure is increased from2kPa to

20、200kPa, i.e.the area under the load-compression curve NOTECompression takes no account of the shape of the load-compression curve. Work of compression will distinguish between textile floor coverings which, although they have the same value of compression, have differently shaped load-compression cu

21、rves. 3.4 percentage thickness recovery the thickness to which the textile floor covering recovers when the pressure is diminished from200kPa to2kPa, expressed as a percentage ofthe initial thickness 3.5 percentage compression recovery the change in thickness when the pressure is diminished from200k

22、Pa to2kPa, expressed as a percentage of the compression 3.6 percentage work recovery the work done by the textile floor covering when the pressure is diminished from200kPa to2kPa, expressed as a percentage of the work of compression from2kPa to200kPa pressure, i.e.(the area under the load-recovery c

23、urve divided by the area under the load-compression curve) 100 NOTEPercentage thickness recovery is based upon the total thickness of the textile floor covering. Percentage compression recovery would normally be expected to rank textile floor coverings in the same order as the percentage work recove

24、ry. Percentage work recovery is mainly influenced by the work done by movement of the pile in carpets and is thus more sensitive to change in the pile than percentage thickness recovery and has a much lower value. 4 Principle The thickness of a textile floor covering specimen is measured as the dist

25、ance between the reference plate on which the textile floor covering rests and a parallel circular presser-foot exerting a known pressure to an area between300mm 2and1000mm 2inclusive within a larger area of textile floor covering. By applying a series of increasing, and subsequently of decreasing,

26、loads to the specimen, the thickness at various pressures and the load-compression and load-recovery curves are determined. 5 Apparatus 5.1 The instrument used for measuring the thickness shall have a circular plane presser-foot of area between300mm 2and1000mm 2 . It shall be capable of exerting pre

27、ssures normal to the surface of the textile floor covering from2kPa to200kPa with intermediate values of5kPa,10kPa,20kPa,50kPa,100kPa and150kPa, with an accuracy of0.2kPa. The instrument shall have a means of measuring thickness with an accuracy of0.1mm over a range of25mm. The movement of the press

28、er-foot shall be normal to the plane of the textile floor covering. The reference plate on which the specimen rests shall be plane, at least125mm125mm in size, and parallel to the presserfoot to within one part in500. The reference plate and the presser-foot shall be flat to an accuracy of0.0125mm.

29、If a dial gauge is used for the thickness measurement, it shall conform to the requirements of BS907. The rigidity of the instrument frame should be such that no measurable deflection occurs under the loads to be used. 5.2 The circular guard ring shall have a mass of1000g, an external diameter not g

30、reater than125mm and an internal diameter of d+40mm (d being the diameter of the presser-foot in mm), such that a pressure of at least1 kPa is exerted. A throat of40mm width may be cut from the guard ring. 5.3 A straightedge, e.g.a ruler, for brushing the surface of the specimen.BS4098:1975 2 BSI 07

31、-1999 6 Atmosphere for conditioning and testing 6.1 The atmosphere required for conditioning and testing is the standard atmosphere for testing textiles specified in BS1051, i.e.an atmosphere of relative humidity652% and temperature20 2 C. 7 Test specimens 7.1 Textile floor coverings with yarn pile

32、or flocked pile. Prepare sufficient specimens to allow at least five tests to be made. Test specimens shall be at least75mm 75mm, but they may be of any larger dimensions as required by other tests, or several measurements may be made on one larger sample provided that the centres of the areas in co

33、ntact with the presser-foot are not less than75mm apart and the whole area of the specimen is supported in the same horizontal plane. Select these specimens well away from distorted parts of the sample. Test areas shall not contain the same warp and weft threads. 7.2 Textile floor coverings other th

34、an those covered by7.1. Prepare sufficient specimens to allow ten tests to be made. Test specimens shall be at least125mm 125mm, but they may be of any larger dimensions as required by other tests, or several measurements may be made on one larger sample provided that the centres of the areas in con

35、tact with the presser-foot are not less than75mm apart and the whole area of the specimen is supported in the same horizontal plane. Select these specimens well away from distorted parts of the sample, and ensure that the area tested has not been previously compressed by a guard ring. Test areas sha

36、ll not contain the same warp and weft threads. 8 Preparation of test specimens For specimens with a pile, brush lightly the use-surface, firstly against, then with the direction of pile lean, using a straightedge, e.g.a ruler. Lay out the specimens flat, singly and with the use-surface uppermost, in

37、 the standard atmosphere for testing textiles for a period of at least24h before testing. 9 Test procedure Ensure that the apparatus is placed on a vibration-free surface, and check that the presser-foot shaft moves freely with negligible friction. With the presser-foot and base plate in contact, se

38、t the gauge to read zero or, alternatively, obtain the zero reading for the base plate. Place the specimen, use-surface uppermost, on the base plate so that no part of the presser-foot will be within20mm of the edge of the specimen or within75mm of any previous measurement. (Whena textile floor cove

39、ring of more than one thickness level or pile construction is being tested, no part of the presser-foot shall be within20mm of a change of construction.) Lower the presser-foot gently onto the specimen to apply a pressure of2kPa, and after30s note the gauge reading to the nearest0.1mm. Use the guard

40、 ring when testing textile floor coverings without pile. NOTEThe guard ring may be used when testing other constructions. Without raising the presser-foot, add extra mass carefully 2)to increase the pressure to5kPa and record the gauge reading after30s. Then immediately increase the pressure to10kPa

41、 and after30s record the gauge reading. Continue this procedure, raising the pressure in turn to20kPa,50kPa,100kPa,150kPa and200kPa, recording the gauge reading in each case when the pressure has been applied for 30s. Immediately after taking the gauge reading at the highest pressure, reduce the pre

42、ssure to150kPa. After30s record the gauge reading and reduce the pressure to100kPa. Continue removing the mass at30s intervals, recording the gauge reading before the removal of each incremental mass, down to the original pressure of2kPa. Do not at any time decrease the pressure during the loading s

43、equence or increase it during the unloading sequence. Repeat the procedure for each specimen. 10 Calculation and expression of results 10.1 The thickness for each specimen shall be tabulated to the nearest0.1mm at each pressure. When a textile floor covering of more than one thickness level or pile

44、construction has been tested, the results for each level shall be tabulated separately and each level treated separately in the calculations and graphs that ensue. 2) Take care to add extra mass gently so that the required pressure is not exceeded.BS4098:1975 BSI 07-1999 3 The mean for each pressure

45、 shall be calculated and plotted on a graph as in Figure 1 with lines joining the mean values. The individual values of thickness at each pressure shall also be plotted on the same graph so as to display the variation. 10.2 One or more of the following estimates of compression and recovery may then

46、be calculated from the mean results: a) the compression (t 2 t 200 ) to the nearest0.1mm; b) the work of compression, in joules per square metre, estimated as the area under the loading curve 3) , e.g.area ABD in Figure 1; c) the percentage thickness recovery,100t r /t 2 ; d) the percentage compress

47、ion recovery, (t r t 200 )/(t 2 t 200 ) 100; e) the percentage work recovery, as estimated by the ratio of the work of recovery to the work of compression 3) , e.g.100 area BCE/area ABD in Figure 1. 11 Report 11.1 The report shall state that the tests were performed in accordance with this standard

48、and shall indicate which of any optional or alternative requirements have been met. 11.2 The mean thickness of the sample at2kPa, to the nearest0.1mm, and the number of specimens tested shall be reported. A graph of the individual observations with lines joining the mean values shall be given. If re

49、quired, the calculated values of compression, work of compression, percentage thickness recovery, percentage compression recovery or percentage work recovery shall be stated. In Figure 1, t 2 is the initial thickness at2kPa pressure (point A), t 200 is the compressed thickness at200kPa pressure (point B), t r is the recovered thickness at2kPa pressure after loading to200kPa pressure (point C). 3) Calculate the area under the curve as (1.5t 2 +4t 5 +7.5t 10 +20t 20 +40t 50 +50t 100 +50t 150 173t 200 ) J/m 2 where t 2is the thickness at2 kPa (mm), t 5is the t
