Performance Requirements8.1 Flexibility Unless otherwise specified in the contractor order (see 5.1), the wall base shall show no visible cracks,breaks, or other evidence of weakness when tested in accor-dance with Test Method F137 using a14 in. (6.35 mm

31、)diameter mandrel. This requirement is not applicable forsculptured wall base thicker than 0.125 in. (3.17 mm) inthickness.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 cont

32、ain no 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 F1515, the color change of the wall base shall have anaverage E no greater than 8.0 after 200 h of exposure

33、to light,simulated by a properly fitted xenon-arc radiant energy source.8.4 Resistance to ChemicalsWhen tested in accordancewith Test Method F925, the wall base shall have no more thana slight change in surface dulling, surface attack, or stainingwhen exposed to the following chemicals:8.4.1 White v

34、inegar (5 % acetic acid).8.4.2 Rubbing alcohol (70 % isopropyl alcohol).8.4.3 White mineral oil (medicinal grade).8.4.4 Sodium hydroxide solution (5 % NaOH).8.4.5 Hydrochloric acid solution (5 % HCl).8.4.6 Sulfuric acid solution (5 H2SO4).8.4.7 Household ammonia solution (5 % NH4OH).8.4.8 Household

The length of the wall baseshall not be less than as marked on the label or package whenmeasured with a calibrated scale or tape graduated in 1/8 in.(3.18 mm) divisions and capable

42、of measuring the maximumlength of the specimen. The specimen shall be extended to itsfull length on a flat surface and all creases and bucklesremoved, insofar as practical, without applying stresses thatcause any significant stretching. The measuring device shall beapplied in such a manner that the

43、length is not distorted duringmeasurement.9.3.1 If a roll contains multiple lengths, a maximum of threepieces shall be permitted; the shortest length shall not be lessthan 15 ft (4.57 m).9.4 SquarenessEach vertical end of the wall base shallform an angle of 90 6 0.5 with the top edge and shall fitag
