The thinnest cross-sectional

35、 area shall be uniform throughout the flooring.8.3 ThicknessThe thickness of the rubber sheet floor covering shall be as specified in the contract or order (see 5.1.4). Anaverage tolerance, obtained from five individual measurements, of 60.006 in. (60.15 mm) from the specified thickness shall beperm

36、itted in the base thickness alone or in combination with the overall thickness, when measured in accordance with Test MethodF386. The difference between the five individual measurements can not be greater than 0.008 in. (0.2 mm). In the case of moldedpattern rubber sheet floor covering, overall thic

37、kness and base thickness shall be reported.8.4 WidthThe width shall be as specified in the contract or order (see 5.1.6). The net width (gross width less selvages) shallnot be less than as marked on the label or package when measured in accordance with 8.6.8.5 LengthThe length of the roll shall be a

38、s specified in the contract or order (see 5.1.7). The sheet length shall not be lessthan as marked on the label or package when measured in accordance with 8.6. Each roll shall be in one piece, except that lessthan 20 % of the rolls in any one shipment may consist of not more than two pieces, the sh

39、ortest length shall not be less than 5linear yards (4.57 m), or as agreed upon by the purchaser and seller. Such rolls shall be clearly marked.8.6 Length and Width MeasurementsMeasurements shall be made with a calibrated 100 ft (30 m) steel tape graduated atintervals of 116 in. or 1 mm. The roll sha

40、ll be extended to its full length on a flat surface and all creases and buckles removed,insofar as practical, without applying stresses that cause any significant stretching. Measurements of length shall be rounded to thenearest inch or 10 mm. Net width shall be measured to the nearest 116 in. or 1

41、mm at not less than ten locations uniformlydistributed along the length of each roll, and the results averaged.TABLE 1 Characteristics and TestsCharacteristic Requirement ASTM Test Method ReferenceComposition of Material Certificate of Compliance 6.1Wear Layer Thickness min 0.040 in.
