The
Performance Charts below are divided
into two sections to help you evaluate
the overall performance of the systems. The
System Performance Criteria are the most
important to consider because they represent
the performance in a typical installation. Panel
Only Criteria such as Concentrated Load
is often used to specify access floor
systems; however, the test is not representative
of an actual installation because it
is performed with the panel resting on
blocks, not understructure.
