Summary of Practice4.1 The test specimen is mounted in the rotatable drum withthe pile surface towards the center of

8、the drum and the edgesunder the retaining segments. A steel ball, with 14 rubber studsrolls randomly inside the drum on the pile surface for aspecified number of revolutions.5. Significance and Use5.1 This equipment may be used to bring about the changesin texture on the surface of pile floor coveri

9、ng caused bymechanical action.5.2 The acceptance criteria of this practice shall be set bymutual agreement between the purchaser and the supplier.6. Apparatus and Material6.1 Vettermann Drum Tester (See Fig. 1):6.1.1 Drum, incorporating a revolution counter and fouradjustable retaining segments (thi

10、ckness: 15 6 1mm(0.6 6 0.03 in.) on each side wall of the drum. A free-runningcircular brush mounted in such a way that it lightly contacts thesurface of specimens and loose fibers are continuously ex-tracted by a vacuum cleaner. A vulcanized fiber backing sheet2320 by 270 by 1.5 mm (93.3 by 10.6 by

11、 0.06 in.) is looselylaid inside the drum. This sheet remains permanently in thedrum.6.1.2 The Vettermann drum dimensions are as follows:Internal diameter 730 6 10 mm (28.7 6 0.39 in.)Internal depth 270 6 5 mm (10.6 6 0.20 in.)Effective depth 240 6 7mm (9.46 0.28 in.)Thickness of curved surface 8 6
