1.1 本试验方法包括测定桩地板覆盖物暴露于各种湿热条件下时可能发生的纵向和宽度方向的尺寸变化和变形。该方法适用于所有桩地板覆盖物，包括地毯模块形式。 1.2 该方法适用于机织绒线地板。 1.3 以英寸-磅为单位的数值应视为标准值。括号中给出的值是到国际单位制的数学转换，仅供参考，不被视为标准值。 1.4 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.5 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 5.1 测定绒线地板覆盖物的尺寸变化有助于控制绒线地板覆盖物制造过程中的质量和成本。绒线地板覆盖物尺寸的变化可能会影响外观和性能。由于目前实验室间精度的估计值是可接受的，并且该方法在验收测试行业中常用，因此该测试方法被认为适合于商业装运的验收测试。 5.2 如果两个实验室（或更多实验室）的报告测试结果之间存在实际意义上的差异，则应进行比较测试，以确定它们之间是否存在统计偏差，使用适当的统计辅助。作为最低限度的使用样品进行此类比较试验，这些样品应尽可能同质，从与初始试验期间产生不同结果的样品相同批次的材料中提取，并随机等份分配给每个实验室。应使用未配对数据的统计测试对相关实验室的测试结果进行比较，这是在测试系列之前选择的概率水平。如果发现偏差，则必须找到并纠正其原因，或者考虑到已知偏差，必须调整该材料的未来测试结果。

1.1 This test method covers the determination of dimensional changes in the lengthwise and width-wise direction and distortion likely to occur when pile floor coverings are exposed to various conditions of moisture and heat. This method is applicable to all pile floor coverings including carpet module form. 1.2 This method is applicable to machine made pile yarn floor covering. 1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversion to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 The determination of dimensional change of pile yarn floor covering is useful in quality and cost control during manufacture of pile yarn floor covering. The appearance and performance may be affected by the changes in the dimensions of pile yarn floor covering. This test method is considered satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercial shipment because current estimates of between laboratory precision are acceptable, and this method is commonly used in the trade for acceptance testing. 5.2 If there are differences of practical significance between reported test results for two laboratories (or more), comparative tests should be performed to determine if there is a statistical bias between them using competent statistical assistance. As a minimum use the samples for such comparative tests that are as homogenous as possible, drawn from the same lot of material as the samples that resulted in disparate results during initial testing and randomly assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory. The test results from the laboratories involved should be compared using a statistical test for unpaired data, a probability level chosen prior to the testing series. If a bias is found either its cause must be found and corrected, or future test results for that material must be adjusted in consideration of the known bias.
