18、2015BS ISO 10361:2015Textile floor coverings Production of changes in appearance by means of Vettermann drum and hexapod tumbler tester1 ScopeThis International Standard describes procedures that use the mechanical action of a Vettermann drum or a hexapod tumbler tester to produce changes in appeara
19、nce (surface structure and colour) to all types of textile floor coverings. It does not include pilling or colour changes due to other actions.Changes produced by these drum testers are assessed in accordance with the applicable assessment standard.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in w

24、5.1.1 Vettermann drum tester, with a metal drum of the following dimensions (see Figure 1): internal diameter: (730 10) mm;INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 10361:2015(E) ISO 2015 All rights reserved 1BS ISO 10361:2015ISO 10361:2015(E) internal depth: (270 5) mm; effective depth: (240 7) mm; thickness of c
25、urved surface: (8 0,5) mm.The drum shall be capable of rotating at a speed of (16 1) r/min and shall have facilities for reversing the direction of rotation every 5 min with approximately 1 s stationary time. The drum system shall incorporate a revolution counter, and specimens shall be held in plac
26、e by four adjustable retaining segments thickness (15 1) mm on each side wall of the drum.Loose pile fibres shall be extracted by a vacuum cleaner. Figure 1 illustrates the drum in cross-section.A vulcanized fibre backing sheet of size 2 320 mm 270 mm 1,5 mm thick and of density 1,1 g/cm3to 1,3 g/cm
27、3at 20 C is loosely laid inside the drum shell on the working side.The sheet remains permanently in the drum.5.1.2 Steel ball, fitted with 14 cylindrical rubber studs located so as to be equally spaced on the ball surface. The studs shall be replaceable and screwed into flat faces machined into the
28、surface of the ball (see Figure 2). diameter of the ball: (120 0,2) mm distance between diametrically opposed flat stud-mounting faces: (118 0,1) mm mass without studs: (6 800 100) g mass with 14 studs: (7 600 100) gEach stud shall consist of a light grey natural rubber disc attached to a steel back
29、ing plate having an integral mounting screw.Specification of the studs: thickness of metal plate: 3 mm diameter: (40 0,5) mm height (without spiral drill): (15 0,5) mm spiral drill: metric 8 hardness of studs: shore A (48 3) measured according to ISO 7619-1, reading after 3 sAfter each test (20 000
30、revolutions), replace two opposite studs with new ones.1)The two studs that have been used longest shall be replaced first. The studs shall be stored in a dark room at between 18 C and 23 C, but not longer than 18 months.5.1.3 Vacuum cleaner, having a suction head width at least equal to the width o
31、f the specimens.1) Replacement studs for the Vettermann drum tester can be obtained from TFI Charlottenburger Allee 41 52068 Aachen Germany (postmastertfi-online.de) This information is given for the convenience of users of this International Standard and does not constitute an endorsement by ISO of

34、on of test specimens5.3.1 SelectionSelect the specimens in accordance with ISO 1957 to be as representative as possible of the bulk. Before cutting out the test specimens, mark the sample and each test specimen on the back with an arrow set in the direction of pile lay.Colour and design can play a l
35、arge part in the assessment of appearance retention, and this should be borne in mind when selecting specimens.4 ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 10361:2015ISO 10361:2015(E)5.3.2 Number and dimensionsCut out a sufficient number of specimens so as to be able to line the inside of the drum completel
36、y. Specimens shall measure at least 450 mm long in the direction of manufacture by 265 mm wide. Cut a similarly sized and positioned specimen for comparison purposes.Provided that there is no fibre or finish transfer, specimens from up to five different samples of similar thickness may be tested at
37、the same time for production control purposes.5.3.3 PreparationThe test specimens and the specimen for comparison shall be cleaned as described in 5.4 with the upright vacuum cleaner (5.1.3) and left to condition flat, singly, pile uppermost for at least 24 h. If fraying of the edge occurs during te
38、sting, apply adhesive tape to the edges of the specimens.5.4 ProcedureFit the specimens into the drum (5.1.1), with the use surface towards the centre of the drum and the edges under the retaining segments. Ensure that the ends of the specimens lie near the centre of the retaining segments and clamp
39、 firmly.If required, non-foam backed textile floor coverings may be tested over an underlay by mounting the underlay in the drum (5.1.1) prior to fitting the specimens into the drum as described above.Test results apply only to the combination of carpet and specific underlay. These are not valid for
40、 combinations with other underlays. For identification of the underlay used, it is recommended to give the following details: material, mass per unit area, and thickness.Check that the ball (5.1.2), together with its studs, is clean and free from any contamination. If necessary, wipe it with ethanol
41、 using a clean tissue and place the ball in the drum. Preset the revolution counter for the long run test (simulation of long-term use in a heavy-wear situation), or for the short run test (simulation of early changes in appearance in less severe wear situations). Then, switch on the machine to star
42、t the test (number of revolutions as defined in the specification standard).The following points should be noted: if not described, no underlay is used for the testing; the Vetterman drum test always starts against the direction of the pile lay in every test; the vacuum cleaner is in use, but is not
43、 in direct contact with the use surface.After the long run test, clean the specimens with the vacuum cleaner (5.1.3), making four forward and backward passes along the length and ensuring that the whole area is covered and that the final pass is in the direction of pile lay.Allow the specimens to co
44、ndition flat, singly, and pile uppermost for at least 24 h before assessing in accordance with the applicable assessment standard.Assessments at intermediate numbers of cycles may be carried out, provided that the specimens are vacuum cleaned and examined as they are for the final assessment, except
45、 that they are assessed immediately without reconditioning.6 Method B Hexapod method6.1 Apparatus6.1.1 Hexapod tumbler tester, with a plastic drum of the following dimensions: ISO 2015 All rights reserved 5BS ISO 10361:2015ISO 10361:2015(E) internal diameter: (305 1) mm; wall thickness: approximatel
46、y 8 mm; internal depth: (210 1) mm.The drum shall be capable of rotating at a speed of (35 2) r/min and shall have facilities for reversing the direction of rotation every 15 min. The drum system shall incorporate a revolution counter and the drum base and lid shall have a locating groove to hold a
47、specimen backing sheet (6.1.2) flat against the inner wall of the drum. Figure 3 illustrates the drum and lid disassembled and Figure 4 shows the drum in cross-section.6.1.2 Polyethylene specimen backing sheet, of nominal size 950 mm long, 215 mm wide, and thickness of 2 mm.6.1.3 Hexapod, comprising
48、 a 50 mm mild steel cube with 25 mm thick plates welded to each face. The outside corners of the plates shall be rounded, such that, when the studs are fitted and the hexapod placed on a flat surface, no metal touches the flat surface (see Figure 5).A replaceable polyurethane stud with steel backing
49、 shall be screwed centrally into each face. diameter of stud: (40 1) mm height of stud: (15 1) mm edge radius of stud: (15 1) mm thickness of steel backing: (3 0,25) mm shore A hardness, measured in accordance with ISO 868: (92,5 7,5) total mass of hexapod with its six studs: (3,8 0,1) kgThe physical properties of height, diameter, and hardness shall be tested after every 400 000 cycles.
