Designation:D531912An American National StandardStandard Specification forGlass-Fiber Reinforced Polyester Wall and Ceiling Panels1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5319;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers the classification,materials ofconstruction,workmanship,physical requirements,and meth-ods of testing glass-fiber-reinforced polyester composite walland ceiling panels intended for use in light construction andsemi-structural applications.1.2 Supplementary information on chemical resistance,im-pact resistance,and installation practice are provided in Ap-pendix X1.1.3 The classification of these composite panels into classesbased on relative response to a laboratory test shall not beconsidered a fire-hazard classification.1.4 Laboratory flammability tests(Test Methods E84 andD1929)applicable to this specification should be used tomeasure and describe the properties of materials,products,orassemblies in response to heat and flame under controlledlaboratory conditions and should not be used to describe orappraise the fire hazard or conditions.However,results may beused as elements of a fire risk assessment which takes intoaccount all of the factors which are pertinent to an assessmentof the fire hazard of a particular end use.1.5 The intent of this specification is to define the class,grade,and general laminate properties of the composite walland ceiling liner panels in order to ensure a quality productwhich will perform in the intended application.This specifi-cation is not intended to restrict or limit technological changesaffecting performance when changes are agreed upon betweenthe purchaser and manufacturer.1.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard.The values given in parentheses are providedfor information only.1.7 The text of this specification references notes andfootnotes that provide explanatory material.These notes andfootnotes(excluding those in Tables and Figures)shall not beconsidered as requirements of this specification.1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.NOTE1There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D374 Test Methods for Thickness of Solid Electrical Insu-lationD618 Practice for Conditioning Plastics for TestingD883 Terminology Relating to PlasticsD1600 Terminology forAbbreviated Terms Relating to Plas-ticsD1929 Test Method for Determining Ignition Temperatureof PlasticsD2244 Practice for Calculation of Color Tolerances andColor Differences from Instrumentally Measured ColorCoordinatesD3029 Test Methods for Impact Resistance of Flat,RigidPlastic Specimens by Means of a Tup(Falling Weight)(Withdrawn 1995)3E84 Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics ofBuilding MaterialsE631 Terminology of Building Constructions3.Terminology3.1 GeneralDefinitions are in accordance with Terminolo-gies D883 and E631 and abbreviations with TerminologyD1600,unless otherwise indicated.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 camber,nnon-linearity of the long axis of a panel.NOTE2In the process of water jet,knife,saw,or rotary sheartrimming of a continuous panel,sidewards motion of the panel through thecutting medium can be induced by imbalances in the system.The resultingtrim cuts,although maintaining parallelism between the long sides,may1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D20 onPlastics and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D20.24 on Plastic BuildingProducts.Current edition approved Oct.1,2012.Published November 2012.Originallyapproved in 1992.Last previous edition approved in 2008 as D5319 97(2008).DOI:10.1520/D5319-12.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 describe a continuous curve,rather than a straight line along the long axisof the panel.Imbalances in side-to-side cure rates or material distributionmay also produce this phenomenon.This curvature of the long axis maycreate problems with installation of the panel.Limits are placed on thedegree of non-linearity to minimi
