Resilient floor coverings - Determination of gelling

This standard establishes the procedural framework for determining the density of resilient floor covering materials. It defines the specific methods and equipment required to assess the compactness of such surfaces, ensuring consistent evaluation across different testing environments. The document outlines the necessary preparation steps for test specimens, including conditioning protocols and dimensional measurements prior to testing. It specifies the calculation methods for deriving density values from measured mass and volume data. The scope covers various types of resilient flooring commonly used in commercial and residential applications, providing a unified approach for quality control and product specification. By adhering to the outlined procedures, laboratories can generate reliable data regarding the physical characteristics of the materials. This approach facilitates comparative analysis and supports the verification of manufacturing consistency without introducing subjective interpretations into the measurement process.
