Scope

4.1 Knowledge of hardness is useful in the development and the quality control of acoustical tile and lay-in ceiling panels. Deviation from an established hardness range will assist in pointing out processing errors or defective raw materials, thereby aiding the maintenance of uniform product quality.

4.2 This property is also useful in comparing the relative abilities of materials to resist indentations on the panel surface caused by impacts.

4.3 Since the hardness varies with the thickness, only samples of the same thickness shall be directly compared.

1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the strength properties of prefabricated architectural acoustical tile or lay-in ceiling panels as follows:

Tests	Sections
Hardness	4 to 9
Friability	10 to 16
Sag	17 to 23
Transverse strength	24 to 30

1.2 Not all of the tests described in these test methods are necessary to evaluate any particular product for a specific use. In each instance, it is necessary to determine which properties are required.

1.3 These test methods specify procedures that are used in product development, manufacturing control, specification acceptance, and service evaluation.

1.4 Properties determined by these test methods reflect the performance of the materials under the specific conditions of the test, and do not necessarily indicate performance under conditions other than those specified herein.

1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be re......
