ASTM D5823 Pile Height

Pile height – Distance from the surface of primary backing to the tips of the pile. Pile height is measured by using an insertion gauge.

This test method covers the determination of tuft height using a grooved specimen holder. It applies to cut-pile and loop-pile floor covering after adhesive backing has been applied to bond the pile yarn to the backing fabric. Tufts are cut from the surface of the sample and the length is measured under magnification. This test method was modified due to the sample being a true multi-level material.
