ASTM E3090/E3090M-19,Standard Test Methods for Strength Properties of Metal Ceiling Suspension Systems.
In the past mechanical properties of metal ceiling suspension systems have been buried in other standards such as Specification C635 and Practice E580.
This test method is an attempt to pull all testing requirements into one document.
ASTM E3090/E3090M-19 covers metal ceiling suspension systems used primarily to support acoustical tile, acoustical lay-in panels, or suspended T-bar type ceiling systems.
Keywords of this standard:
ceiling suspension mechanical properties; connection strength in compression; connection strength in tension;load carrying capacity
