Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms used in this testmethod refer to Terminology F 141.4. Significance and Use4.1 Res
5、ilient floor tile is subjected to impacts from objectsthat may be inadvertently dropped on to surfaces. It is notpossible to know all of the factors related to the droppedobjects (shape, weight, height of drop) or the condition of theenvironment in which the tile is located (types of subfloor,degree
6、 of adhesion to subfloor, temperature). Therefore, thistest method can only provide a relative measure of resistance ofresilient floor tile to impact.5. Apparatus5.1 Impact Testing Apparatus, consisting essentially of aspecimen support, weights, and a device for guiding a freelyfalling weight. A sui

The three balls shall be firmly attached to the baseplate and the balls

(2.54-cm diameter) weighing 0.143 60.002 lb (0.065 6 0.001 kg) shall be used for testing18 (0.317cm) and thinner floor covering; and a 1-in. (2.54 cm) diametersteel cylinder weighing 0.350 6 0.005 lb (0.159 6 0.002
9、kg)shall be used and having a hemispherical end, for testing316 in.(0.476 cm) and14 in. (0.635 cm) material.5.1.3 Slotted Tube, graduated in14 in. (0.635 cm) divisions,about 20 in. (50.8 cm) in height and of sufficient size to permitthe weight to fall through it freely, is mounted vertically overthe
10、 specimen support so as to guide the freely falling weight tothe center of the circle formed by the three balls.5.2 Zinc Oxide Paste, made by mixing powdered zinc oxidewith water to form a thin paste.6.
