Scope1.1 This test method is intended for use in determining therecovery properties of resilient floor covering after long-termindentation test, 24 h under the load specified in

3、the detailspecification. The reported value, residual indentation, is thedepth of the depression remaining 24 h after removal of thespecified load.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are

Procedures7.1 Measure the initial thickness of each specimen, wearlayer up, at the center of the specimen using the dial microm-eter. Record the value to the nearest 0.001 in. (0.025 mm) as T1.7.2 Place the 2 by 2 in. (50.8 by

(28.58 mm) diameter surface flat against the wear layer ofthe specimen.7.3 Stack the remaining specimens and indentor plates asshown in Fig. 2. Place as many specimen/indentor plate setsunder the indentation

20、 machine plunger as will fit.7.4 Square the stack of specimen/indentor plate sets andthen center the stack under the plunger of the indentationmachine.7.5 Check all clearances to be sure that the plunger andmajor load shaft with weight platform and weights will be freeto move down without restrictio

21、n as the height of the stack ofspecimens diminishes during test. If necessary, place a metalspacer above or below the plunger, and adjust the position ofthe collar on the plunger that supports a dial indicator (not usedfor static load test) to ensure adequate clearances during test.7.6 Apply the loa
