Terminology3.1 DefinitionsRefer to Terminology C1154.4. Classification4.1 Flat sheets covered by this specification are div
10、ided intotwo types, according to their intended application.4.2 Type ASheets are intended for exterior applications,subjected to the direct action of sun, rain, or snow. They aresupplied coated or uncoated.4.3 Type BSheets are intended for exterior applications,not subjected to the direct action of
11、sun, rain, or snow.NOTE 1If sheets of Type B are used in an exterior application, wherethey are directly exposed to the weather, but are protected by impregnationor coatings, the weather resistance of the product may be altered by thequality of the protection. Specification of this protection, as we
12、ll as themethod for control and test, are outside the scope of this specification.4.4 The sheets are further classified into four grades accord-ing to their flexural strengths. The manufacturer shall declarethe type and grade of a given product in the literature for thatproduct.1This specification i

16、licable to fibercement flat sheets consisting essentially of an inorganic hy-draulic binder or a calcium silicate binder formed by thechemical reaction of a siliceous material and a calcareousmaterial reinforced by organic fibers, inorganic non-asbestosfibers, or both.

Rejection10.1 If the sampling fails to conform to any one of therequirements of this specification, a second sample from thesame lot shall be prepared and tested. The results of the retestshall be
34、combined with the results of the original test, accord-ing to the sampling procedure, to determine compliance withthis specification.10.2 Failure to conform to any one of the requirements ofthis specification, upon retest as prescribed above, shall con-stitute grounds for rejection.11.
