Stacks of gypsum board, waiting to be delivered directly into the building.
Type X gypsum board is 5/8 in thick, it is used as a method of fire resistance, and contributes to much of the fire resistance rating of a building. ASTM is incharge of conducting tests to determine the fire resistance of gypsum board. To get type X rating the wallboard has to achieve at least a one hour fire resistance rating
Type X wallboard is made with noncombustible fibers, they maintain the integrity of the core as the wallboard begins to shrink.
