(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Determining Slump Resistance of Carpet Adhesives
Standard Test Method for Determining Slump Resistance of Carpet Adhesives
SCOPE
1.1 This test method describes a procedure to measure slump, or sag, resistance of a towel-grade carpet adhesive using a button slump test apparatus.
1.2 This test method provides a visual evaluation to relate troweled bead profile and trowel pickup.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given 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.
