BS 5920:1980 PDF Download

The dimensional stability test techniques defined in BS 4682 should be used in conjunction with the procedure outlined in the BS 5920:1980 standard. All varieties of textile floor coverings up to a maximum thickness of 15 mm are covered by this standard.

With the use of this standard, test specimen dimensions for textile floor coverings will now be determined consistently and precisely. For accurate and comparable test findings, it is essential to measure these samples precisely. Manufacturers and testing facilities can guarantee consistency and accuracy in measuring the dimensions of textile floor covering test specimens by following the instructions provided in this standard.

The standard outlines the steps to use while measuring the specimens' dimensions, giving experts precise guidance. Its goal is to provide a consistent and organized method for measuring specimens, thereby minimizing variability in test results brought on by inconsistency in measuring methodologies. In order to conduct reliable and insightful testing and evaluation of the dimensional stability of textile floor covering test specimens, compliance with this standard helps to ensure that the dimensions of the test specimens are precisely calculated.
