NOTE The number of sp

42、ecimens to be tested is decided by the manufacturer. Li,av 1,0 in % a-1With an absolute limit of all individual Li,max 1,20 in % a-1Individual values shall be rounded to the second decimal place. Average value shall be rounded to one decimal place. EXAMPLE 1 Measurements of only two specimens: a) 0,

45、pecimen the mean value is 1,0: passed. If the mean value of 4 specimens remain 1,0: failed Option B: Measure Li of further 2 specimens and if average value of the 4 tested specimens is less than 1,0 and no individual value 1,20: passed EXAMPLE 2 Measurements of 4 specimens Measure directly 4 specime

BS EN 1279-3:2018EN 1279-3:2018 (E) 7 For most insulating glass units, measured Li values are much higher than actual gas leakage values after 10 years of natural ageing. Therefore, the limiting value shall not be used for calcul

47、ating the gas concentration during the lifetime of the IGU. See also Annex B. 5.2 Tolerances on gas concentration Gas concentration before and after the test procedure given in 6.3, shall not be lower than 5 % absolute below the nominal value used to calculate the U-value declared by the IGU manufac

48、turer. 5.3 Durability of the gas and interaction with IGU components For the purposes of gas filling, only inert gases should be used like Ar, Kr, Xe. The use of any other gas will require chemical compatibility tests to be carried out. 6 Test method 6.1 Principle of testing The gas leakage rate at

49、20 C is measured after subjecting the test specimens to a climate exposure as specified in EN 1279-2:2018 with the following modifications: in step 1 the number of cycles is 28; and in step 2 the time at a constant temperature of 58 C is 4 weeks. For the measurement of the gas leakage rate, the specimen is placed in a gastight container and, after a given time, the amount of gas which has leaked from the specimen is measured. After this measurement, the gas concentration in the specimen is analys
