ASTM C627-18e1
(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Evaluating Ceramic Floor Tile Installation Systems Using the Robinson-Type Floor Tester
Standard Test Method for Evaluating Ceramic Floor Tile Installation Systems Using the Robinson-Type Floor Tester
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This test method provides a standardized procedure for evaluating performance of ceramic floor tile installations under conditions similar to actual specific usages. It can be used to make comparisons between customary basic installation methods, to establish the influence of minor changes in a particular installation method, and to judge the merit of proposed novel methods.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the evaluation of ceramic floor tile installation systems, using the Robinson2-type floor tester.
1.2 This test method is intended solely for evaluating complete ceramic floor tile installation systems for failure under dynamic loads and not for evaluating particular characteristics of ceramic tile, such as abrasion resistance. This test method does not claim to provide meaningful results for other than evaluating complete ceramic floor tile installation systems.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The metric (SI) units 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

3. Summary of Test Method
3.1 This test method consists of preparing test assemblies that duplicate the type of installation under consideration, subjecting
them to one or more tests on the Robinson floor tester, and evaluating the results in a prescribed manner. Description of the
installation method must specifically include all variables, for example, the type of materials and mixture proportions of
substratum, setting material, and tile grout; type of tile, installation technique, and cure.
4. Significance and Use
4.1 This test method provides a standardized procedure for evaluating performance of ceramic floor tile installations under
conditions similar to actual specific usages. It can be used to make comparisons between customary basic installation methods, to
establish the influence of minor changes in a particular installation method, and to judge the merit of proposed novel methods.
