ASTM C1032-96

Standard Specification for Woven Wire Plaster Base

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers woven wire plaster base, flat or self-furring, with or without stiffener wires, and with or without backing, designed for use as a base to receive gypsum or portland cement based plaster.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The SI equivalents of inch-pound units are approximate.
1.3 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard.
