- Abstract
- This paper describes methods and equipment for measuring the weight, over-all thickness, thickness of enamel and of seal coat, resistance to scrubbing with cleaning compound, resistance to kerosine, flexibility, and tearing strength of printed-enamel felt-base floor covering. Results of laboratory tests are correlated with results of service tests of 11 proprietary products. The correlation was significant for all properties studied except thickness of seal, coat, but no single property was outstanding in its level of significance.
