29、ther evidence of weakness when tested in accor-dance with Test Method F 137 using a14 in. (6.35 mm)diameter mandrel.NOTE 4Cove wall base shall be tested with the mandrel perpendicularto the cove when oriented as in use.8.2 Staining of Adjacent Surfaces Induced by Wall BaseWall base shall contain no

30、ingredient which will cause stainingof the finished surfaces adjacent to it when aged by the methodspecified in 12.1-12.7.8.3 Resistance to LightWhen tested in accordance to TestMethod F 1515, the color change of the wall base shall have anaverage DE no greater than 8.0 after 200 h of exposure to li

Many proprietarycompounds contain one or more of these basic chem

34、icals. Should the wallbase for an unusual application need to be resistant to a specific chemical,this additional requirement should become part of the procurementdocument.8.5 Dimensional StabilityWall base shall not change inlength by more than 6 0.25 % when tested by the methodspecified in 12.8-12

35、.15.8.6 OdorThe wall base shall be free from offensive odor.9. Dimensions and Permissible Variations9.1 HeightThe height of the wall base shall be as speci-fied in the contract or order (see 5.1.6). A tolerance of 61%ofthe nominal height of the wall base shall be permitted whenmeasured with a scale,

36、 caliper, or other device graduated in0.001in. (0.025 mm) divisions and capable of measuring themaximum height of the specimen. The specimen shall beplaced on a flat surface and the measuring device applied insuch a manner that the height is not distorted during measure-ment.9.2 ThicknessUnless othe

37、rwise specified in the contract ororder (see 5.1.7), the wall base shall be 0.080 in. (2.03 mm) or0.125 in. (3.17 mm) thick.

38、rance of +0.015 in. to 0.015 in. (+0.38mm to 0.38 mm) when measured in accordance with TestMethod F 386.9.3 LengthThe length of the wall base shall be as speci-fied in the contract or order (see 5.1.8). The length of the wallbase shall not be less than as marked on the label or packagewhen measured

39、with a calibrated scale or tape graduated in 1/8in. (3.18 mm) divisions and capable of measuring the maxi-mum length of the specimen. The specimen shall be extendedto its full length on a flat surface and all creases and bucklesremoved, insofar as practical, without applying stresses thatcause any s

Workmanship, Finish and Appearance10.1 The wall base furnished in accordanc

42、e with this speci-fication shall be free of defects, which adversely affect perfor-mance or appearance. Such defects include blemishes, spots,lines, indentations, blisters, and delamination.10.2 Unless otherwise specified in the contract or order (see5.1), the back or bonding surface of the wall bas

44、stances, on the exposedsurface.11. Sampling for Test11.1 Sampling for testing physical characteristics listed inTable 1 shall be done in accordance with the provisions setforth in ANSI/ASQC Z1.41993. The inspection level shall bespecial inspection level S-1, as noted in Table I of ANSI/ASQCZ1.41993,

45、 and acceptable quality level (AQL) shall be 6.5defects per hundred units as noted in Table II-A of ANSI/ASQC Z1.41993 or as otherwise specified in 11.2. The lotshall be expressed in units. A unit represents a single, manu-factured, inventoried, finished carton or roll.11.2 Sampling for testing phys

Test MethodsWall BaseStaining of Adjacent Surfaces Induced byWall Base12.1 ScopeThis test method describes a technique forproducing a stain or di

47、scoloration that wall base may causewhen in contact with a light-colored surface, when exposed toelevated temperature aging under controlled conditions.12.2 Significance and UseWall base often is required tobe in contact with light-colored surfaces. In such applications,the discoloration or stain of

48、 the light-colored surfaces isobjectionable. This test method provides a way to evaluate wallbase for its staining characteristics.12.3 Apparatus:12.3.1 Circulating-Air Oven, capable of maintaining a tem-perature of 158 6 1.8F (70 6 1C).12.4 MaterialsMetal panels 2 in.
