Appendix
B
This
appendix is not part of the ANSI/NALFA minimum requirements
for laminate flooring, but is included for informational
purposes only.
The
test measures the moisture content of laminate flooring.
1.1
Method Addendum
1.1.1
The test method shall conform to ASTM D 1037 in Sections 119
through 120 with additional criteria:
1.1.2
Sample size shall consist of two specimens with a size of 75
mm x 75 mm (3 in x 3 in) with smoothly and squarely trimmed
edges collected from opposite ends of a sample.
1.1.3
Specimens shall not be preconditioned.
1.1.4
Weigh specimen and place in oven 103oC ±
2°C
(217oF + 4oF) for 48 hours.
1.1.5
Reweigh specimen directly after removal from oven.
1.1.6
Calculate moisture content per Section 120.1.
1.2
Test Report
1.2.1
Average moisture content of the two specimens.
Light
Reflectance (Luminance)
2.0
Scope
This
test measures light reflectance based on the definition of
Luminance Factor of laminate flooring.
2.1.1
The definition shall conform to ASTM E 284 using the
following methodology.
2.1.2
Luminance Factor is defined as the tristimulus value Y.
2.1.3
Values are to be determined by Hunter Lab ColorQuest IIÒ
Spectrophotometer or equivalent using C.I.E. system
guidelines with cool white fluorescent illuminate, 10-degree
observer, spectral reflection included.
2.2.1
Calculated
Tristimulus value Y shall be reported. |
