8、st Method4.1 A specimen is separated manually for a distance ofabout 1.5 in.(38 mm).Each layer then is placed in opposingclamps of a tensile tester,and the force to continue theseparation for a specified distance is recorded.The peak forcesin specified length intervals are averaged and the resistanc
9、e todelamination calculated.5.Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used for acceptance testing ofcommercial shipments.Comparative tests as directed in 5.2may be advisable.5.2 In a case of a dispute arising from differences inreported test results when using this test method,the purchaserand t
10、he supplier should conduct comparative tests to determineif there is a statistical bias between their laboratories.Compe-tent statistical assistance is recommended for the investigationof bias.As a minimum,the two parties should take a group oftest samples that are as homogenous as possible and are
11、froma lot of material of the type in question.The test samples thenshould be assigned randomly in equal numbers to eachlaboratory for testing.The average results from the twolaboratories should be compared using a statistical test forunpaired data and an acceptable probability level chosen by thetwo
12、 parties before testing is begun.If a bias is found,either itscause must be found and corrected or the purchaser and thesupplier must agree to interpret future test results with consid-eration to the known bias.5.3 This test method is useful to evaluate quality and costcontrol during the manufacture
13、 of pile yarn floor covering.Both appearance and performance of the pile floor coveringcan be affected by delamination of the secondary backing.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D13 on Textilesand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D13.21 on Pile Floor Coverings.
