REFERENCE Client's Purchase order No. 041894 dated May 21, 1981. LA 72209•-1 Client confirmation dated May 8, 1987 per Mr. Don Duggin. TEST REQUEST AND METUOD The submitted sample was tested for (A)Flammability in accor- dance with the procedures outlined in ASTM Designation E-648, "Standard Test Method for Critical Radiant Flux of Floor Cover- ing Systems Using a Radiant Heat Energy Source". This test method is comparable to NFPA No. 253, and (B)Smoke Density in accordance with the procedures outlined in ASTM Designation E-662, "Standard Test Method for Specific Optical Density of Smoke Generated by Solid Materials". This test method is com- parable to NFPA No. 258. (Flaming Exposure Only). SWLE IDENTIFICATION The sample tested was submitted and identified by the Client as: No. 1904 Progym Field Floor Covering. Constructions Loop Pile PVC Backed )toll Goods Pile Yarn: 100% Antron 856 Nylon Pile Weight: 21.3 oz./sq.yd. Backing Material: Primary - Woven Polypropylene Secondary -- PVC Overall Weight: 87.1 oz./sq.yd. Overall Thickness: 0.275" Page 2 y HI R-124 "J9 15. 12ti, I -C. H '._F' UNITED STATE$$ TESTING COMPANY, INC, LA 72209-1 A. FLAMMABILITY PER ASTM E•-648 PREPARATION AND CONDITIONING The floor covering material was cut into three sections 10" wide by 42" long and bonded to �" inorganic reinforced cement board with the Collins and Aikman C-16 Pile Vinyl Adhesive for Powerbond. The adhesive was applied with a 3/32" x 3/32" x 1/8" notched trowel at a coverage rate of 100-1.25 square Ia feet per gallon. Prior to clamping the floor covering system in the mounting frame the specimens were conditioned at 21 ± 3°C and a rela- tive humidity of 50 t 5% and allowed to reach moisture equi- librium. TEST PROCEDURE The test chamber was pre -heated for one hour and the radiant panel black body temperature verified to be within 5% of the temperature established during calibration. The pilot burner was ignited and the specimen inserted into the chamber. After a two -minute pre. -heat, the pilot burner flame was placed in ..contact with the specimen for ten minutes, then removed. The test was continued until all flaming ceased. The distance burned was measured and converted to Critical Radiant Heat Flux at flame out. Page 3 V HPR-24-'89 15:24 f-UH_ CFS P644-01 UNITED STATES TESTING COMPANY, INC. LA 72209-1 S. ASTM E--662 SPECIFIC OPTICAL DENSITY'OF SMOKE PREPARATION AND CONDITIONING The carpet sample was cut into three specimens three inches square and prepared for testing as outlined in the aforemen- tioned standard. Prior to .insertion in the specimen holder, the samples were dried for 24 hours at 1.40 ± 5°F and then conditioned to equilibrium at a temperature of 73 ± 5°F and a relative humidity of 50 ± 5%. TEST PROCEDURE The test chamber was preheated to 95 ± 40F and all steady state conditions checked. Following placement of the specimen in the chamber and initiation of the test, light transmittance and time were plotted continuously with a multi. -range recorder. The test in the flaming mode, was continued for a minimum of 3 minutes after the recording of minimum light transmittance. The chamber was then evacuated of smoke particulate until maxi- mum light transmittance was reached. That value was recorded as clear beam and is used in calculating the Maximum Corrected Specific Optical Density. Page 4 171 UNITED STATES TESTING COMPANY, INC. LA 7Z209-1 TEST RESULTS A.

REQUIREMENTS The 1981 Edition of the NFPA "Life Safety Code" provides the following classification for regulating interior flooring materials in specified occupancies% CLASS z - includes materials which have =a A iziozT- Critical Radiant Vlux of 0 45w atts/cm=. CLASS II - includes materials which have a minimum Critical Radiant Flux of 0.22 watts/cm'. Examples of the requirements for application of interior flooring material in exits and corridors for specified occupancies are listed below: Health Care Centers Class I in new facilities and for newly installed flooring -materials in existing facilities. Child Care Centers Class I or 11 in both new and existing facilities. IIotels and Dormitories Class I or it in both new and existing facilities. A artments Class I or II in both new and existing facilities. Pace 5 r 1-4b4 _Ui UNITEd STATES TESTING COMPANY, INC.
