They are not part of thisspecification.The definition of type X as given in 5.2 and the alternate definition given in this appendix are intended only as a test to define the gypsumboard as meeting the requirements of type X. These tests do not indicate a preferred applica
27、tion nor do they limit the use of the product inother fire-rated assemblies.All gypsum panel products for which type X is defined, except gypsum lath and gypsum shaftliner board, use the same test for type Xproducts, therefore, the type X definition indicates a consistent level of fire resistance.X1
