Standard Practice for Installation Procedures of Vinyl Deck Coverings on Portable Plates in Electrical and Electronic Spaces
ABSTRACT
This practice covers the acceptable installation procedures of insulated vinyl deck covering on portable deck plates. This deck covering shall be installed, in way of the electrical and electronic spaces, for marine use. Requirements for the following are specified: (1) operations area, (2) installation using vinyl sheets, (3) adhesive, (4) fiberglass, (5) fastening with Nylon screws, and (6) exposed areas treated with epoxy. Illustrations of the installation of deck coverings are provided.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the acceptable method for installing insulated deck covering on portable deck plates.
1.2 This deck covering shall be installed, in way of the electrical and electronic spaces, for marine use.
1.3 The values stated in SI (metric) units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are for information only.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
