Designation:D4028/D4028M13(Reapproved 2021)Standard Specification forSolar Screening Woven from Vinyl-Coated Fiber Glass Yarn1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4028/D4028M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers the requirements for vinyl-coated fiber glass solar screening,and should help usersrecognize the characteristics of acceptable vinyl-coated fiberglass solar screening.This specification is limited in applica-tion to vinyl-coated fiber glass solar screening that is producedwith a ribbed pattern woven in the warp direction.Theapplicability of this specification to vinyl-coated fiber glasstype solar screening of a non-rib,a double rib(ribs in bothwarp and filling direction),or a filling rib construction is notknown.1.2 This specification shows the definitions,generalrequirements,and physical requirements for commercial stan-dard vinyl-coated fiber glass solar screening designed andwoven for installation in any dwelling,building,or structurefor the purpose of providing a significant reduction in solarheat gain,while providing outward view and interior light.Solar screening provides a structure that has insect-restrainingcapabilities equivalent to standard insect screening.NOTE1For information on standard insect screening,see Specifica-tion D3656/D3656M.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system are not necessarily exact equivalents;therefore,toensure conformance with the standard,each system shall beused independently of the other,and values from the twosystems shall not be combined.1.4 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest method portion,Sections 8 21 of this specification:Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety,health,andenvironmental practices and determine the applicability ofregulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D76/D76M Specification for Tensile Testing Machines forTextilesD123 Terminology Relating to TextilesD3374/D3374M Specification for Vinyl-Coated Glass YarnsD3656/D3656M Specification for Insect Screening and Lou-ver Cloth Woven fromVinyl-Coated Glass YarnsD3773/D3773M Test Methods for Length of Woven FabricD3774 Test Method for Width of Textile FabricD3775 Test Method for End(Warp)and Pick(Filling)Countof Woven FabricsD4909 Test Method for Color Stability of Vinyl-CoatedGlass Textiles to Accelerated Weathering(Withdrawn1996)3D4912/D4912M Test Method for Fabric Stability of Vinyl-Coated Glass Yarn Insect Screening and Louver ClothD4963/D4963M Test Method for Ignition Loss of GlassFiber Strands and FabricsD5035 Test Method for Breaking Force and Elongation ofTextile Fabrics(Strip Method)D7018 Terminology Relating to Glass Fiber and Its Products2.2 AATCC Standard:4Evaluation Procedure 1 Grey Scale for Color Change2.3 ANSI/ASHRAE Standard:5Standard 74-1988 Method of Measuring Solar-Optical Prop-erties of Materials1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D13 onTextiles and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D13.18 on Glass Fiber andits Products.Current edition approved July 1,2021.Published September 2021.Originallyapproved in 1981.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as D4028/D4028M 13.DOI:10.1520/D4028_D4028M-13R21.2For 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.4Available from American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists(AATCC),P.O.Box 12215,Research Triangle Park,NC 27709-2215,http:/www.aatcc.org.5Available from American Society of Heating,Refrigerating,and Air-Conditioning Engineers,Inc.(ASHRAE),1791 Tullie Circle,NE,Atlanta,GA30329,http:/www.ashrae.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Re
