Title
Standard Test Method for Resistance to Puncture of Cushioned Resilient Floor Coverings
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Dec 28, 1990
Scope:
This test method covers the laboratory procedure for determining the
resistance of cushioned
resilient floor coverings to punctures from dropped pointed objects
such as dinner forks.
This test method employs a 35-g cylindrical dart with a flat,
small-diameter tip that is dropped
onto a specimen of flooring. The dart represents the weight of a
typical fork and the tip produces
a similar puncture to those which result from dropped forks.
Flooring with thick wear layers may not puncture under even the most
severe drop. Although data can
be obtained by increasing the drop height or the weight of the dart,
values of this magnitude have
no practical application.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of whoever uses this standard to consult
and establish appropriate
safety and health practices and determine the applicability and
regulatory limitations prior to
use. For specific precaution statement see 8.2.
