3、added in September 2013.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers testing procedures for architec-tural joint systems. This test method is intended for thefollowing uses for architectural joint systems:1.1.1 To verify movement capability information suppliedto the user by the producer,1.1.2 To standardize
4、 comparison of movement capability byrelating it to specified nominal joint widths,1.1.3 To determine the cyclic movement capability betweenspecified minimum and maximum joint widths without visualdeleterious effects, and1.1.4 To provide the user with graphic information, draw-ings or pictures in th
5、e test report, depicting them at minimum,maximum, and nominal joint widths during cycling.1.2 This test method is intended to be used only as part of aspecification or acceptance criterion due to the limited move-ments tested.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be rega
6、rded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafet
7、y concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
