1、Designation: F2573 06 (Reapproved 2010)An American National StandardStandard Specification forLow Velocity Resilient Material Projectile1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2573; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case
2、of revision, the year of last revision. 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 specification covers critical characteristics of lowvelocity resilient material projecti
3、les (herein referred to asLVRM projectiles) made of a resilient material, and shall havea diameter no smaller than 20 mm (0.7874 in) and no greaterthan 30 mm (1.18 in.), with a hardness no greater than 75 Shore00 in accordance with Specification D2240. This specificationhelps define whether a projec
4、tile is suitable for use with a lowvelocity projectile marker (herein referred to as LVP marker asdefined in Specification F2574). The weight of the LVRMprojectile is not to exceed 4.0 g. Furthermore, this specificationestablishes minimum warning and package labeling to helpensure that the LVRM proj
5、ectiles are used in a safe manner andthat the risk of injury is reduced.1.2 A LVRM projectile is not a paintball as defined inSection 2.1.2 of Specification F1979.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 This sta
6、ndard does not purport to address all of thesafety 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 to determine theapplicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
