Floor Detective® Laboratory Testing Reference

Summary

ASTM D5848 Pile Weight Test is a laboratory procedure used to determine the amount of pile fiber contained within a carpet specimen. Results are commonly used for construction verification, specification compliance review, manufacturing comparisons, and quality-control evaluations. The test measures pile fiber mass rather than performance characteristics and should be interpreted together with other construction measurements.
