Belden Chemical Resistant Floor Brick are manufactured to conform to the specification requirements of both ASTM C279 and ASTM C410 (industrial floor brick). Whenever close dimensional tolerances or minimal distortion is required, ASTM C410, Tables II and III should be used for the dimensional standards of the specification.

NOTES:
  1. Applicable Testing Specification Procedure - ASTM C67
  2. Applicable Testing Specification Procedure - ASTM C885
  3. Applicable Testing Specification Procedure - ASTM C1006
  4. Conforms Under Test Method - ASTM C501
  5. Conforms Under ASTM C904, Type I Material, Maximum = 0.11, Refer to Table No. 2 Titled "Abrasion Requirements". Belden Vertical Fibre Floor Brick has an abrasion resistance index almost 10 times greater than the most stringent requirement of this specification.
