Standard Test Method for Resistance to Delamination of the Secondary Backing of Pile Yarn Floor Covering

SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the resistance to delamination of the secondary backing applied to some pile yarn floor coverings.
1.2 This test method is applicable to all backings including natural manufactured fibers or attached cushion.
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as the standard. Within the text the inch-pound units are shown in parentheses. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification. In case of referee decisions, the SI units shall prevail.
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.
