Summary of Test Method4.1 Representative samples of tents are weighed on acalibrated scale. If a prototype tent is used for testing, t
8、heresults must state that a prototype was used.5. Significance and Use5.1 The minimum and packaged weight of a tent areproperties used by consumers to evaluate tents. The weightmay also be used for specifications, manufacturing standards,and quality control.6. Apparatus6.1 Calibrated Scale, within t
9、he weight range of the tent.7. Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units7.1 Tent test specimens shall be new and in unused condi-tion, selected randomly from a production lot of a given modelof tent. They shall conform in all respects to the manufacturersspecifications for the model to be tested. A q
10、uantity of five tentsis required.8. Calibration and Standardization8.1 Test equipment is to be in accordance with Practices E 4and other requirements specific to the equipment.9. Conditioning9.1 Tests may be completed under ambient conditions. Incases of dispute, test samples shall be conditioned in
11、 accor-dance with 9.2.9.2 Erect and dry the tent samples in an atmosphere with arelative humidity of 10 % for a minimum of 24 h; then, placethe tent samples in an atmosphere of 50 6 5 % relativehumidity, 20 6 2C for a minimum of 72 h. Tests may then bedone outside the conditioning room, but the temp
12、erature shallbe 23 6 5C, the tests shall begin within 5 min of removalfrom conditioning, and be completed within 4 h.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F08 on SportsEquipment and Facilities and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F08.22 onCamping Softgoods.Current
