ASTM C367/C367M Testing for Acoustical Ceiling Panels

← Back to all standards

ASTM C367 is the set of test methods for the strength properties of prefabricated architectural acoustical tile and lay-in ceiling panels. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ASTM C367 Covers

It evaluates strength-related properties, including transverse (flexural) strength, of acoustical ceiling tile and panels.

How the Test Is Run

A tile or panel specimen is supported and loaded, commonly in bending, until it fails, and the strength is calculated from the failure load and dimensions.

Why It Matters

Strength properties govern handling and service performance of ceiling panels; a flexure fixture and accurate load measurement are essential.
