1、Designation: F1304 08 (Reapproved 2013)Standard Test Method forDeflection of Resilient Floor Tile1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1304; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.
2、 A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method is used to determine the deflection ofrelatively rigid resilient floor tile such as vinyl compositiontile.1.2 The v
3、alues stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated wi
4、th 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.

Thesesamples are tested for deflection.6. Preparation of Appar
9、atus6.1 Install the deflection frame in the tensile tester. Check tosee that the three bars are parallel, and that the center bar isaccurately centered between the two outside bars. Position theframe so that the test sample can be placed with the wearingsurface touching the center bar, and the back
10、surface touchingthe two outer bars, without deflection of the sample. This is thezero point for measuring deflection. Check that the deflectionspeed of the tester is 4 618 in./min. (102 6 3 mm/min.).Check the deflection measuring device to see that it accuratelymeasures the relative movement between
11、 the center bar and theframe holding the two outer bars.NOTE 1If a pendulum-type weighing system is used on the testmachine, which has appreciable movement of the attached jaw, themechanism may be locked in place to make measurement of the deflectioneasier, and to maintain the specified deflection r
12、ate, since measurement ofthe load is not required. Electronic load cell machines usually havenegligible movement.7.
