7、rd This British Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee TCI/3 and is the English language version of EN995:1995 Textile floor coverings Assessment of the creep of the backings, published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). When prEN 995 was at the prEN formal vote stage th

8、e UK voted against it because it considers that, as the test is not fully proven, the accuracy of the test as it stands should be pointed out and the limitations of the test method should be explained (seeNational annex NA). Although the UK voted against this standard, the overall formal vote was po

(ISO 139:1973) ISO 1957:1986, Machine-made textile floor coverings Sampling and cutting specimens for physical tests. 3 Principle The test specimen is subjected to the prolong

24、ed action of a very high static load under defined temperature conditions; the indentation under application of the load is measured. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Static loading apparatus, fitted with a thickness measuring device which can be used to take measurements to0,1mm accuracy and to apply a pressure of2

25、000KPa on a circular presser foot with a surface area of500mm 2diameter(25,24 0,10)mm. 4.2 Ventilated chamber, which can be brought to a temperature of40 C 2 C and large enough to be able to accommodate the static loading apparatus(4.1). 5 Sampling and preparation of test specimens Take at least thr

26、ee test specimens, each measuring100mm 100mm in accordance with ISO1957. 6 Conditioning Condition the prepared test specimens in the standard atmosphere for testing textiles as defined in EN20139for at least24h. 7 Test method With the apparatus in the chamber set at40 C 2 C, arrange the test specime

27、n with its use surface uppermost under the static loading apparatus so that the presser foot is at the centre of the test specimen and apply the specified pressure of (2000 10)KPa. Leave the assembly as it is and measure the indentations after (60 2) min and24h 0,4%. Note the indentations E 1and E 2

28、after1h and24h for each test specimen. 8 Calculation and expression of results Calculate, for each test specimen, E= E 2 E 1 . For all the test specimens, calculate the arithmetic mean of Efor all the test specimens. Express the creep by the result obtained Em,in millimetres, to one decimal place. 9

29、 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) reference to this standard, i.e.EN995; b) full identification of the product tested, including the type, origin, manufacturers reference numbers; c) details of the sample; d) the individual values (E 1 , E 2 , E ) for each test

30、 specimen; e) the creep Em ; f) the appearance of the imprint on the two faces of the test specimen (extent of the fold, where applicable); g) any deviation from this standard which is likely to have affected the results.BSEN995:1996 BSI 11-1999 4 National annex NA (informative) Investigation of fac

31、tors related to creep NA.1 Technical evidence The following technical evidence indicates that the results obtained from the test method are unrelated to those factors which occur as a result of creep of tile backing in an installation. Following the determination of creep, % E(designated Emin the EN

32、 text), on six qualities of carpet tile (AtoF) as part of an inter-laboratory comparison, a further exercise was carried out to compare %E with parameters which would be relevant in use. It was felt that in a “use” situation, the creep-related factors of greatest importance to the user would be: a)

33、depth of indentation following a suitable period of recovery; b) height of any rim or protrusion on the back of the tile; c) diameter of any rim on the back of the tile, since this would be related to lateral flow of tile backing material leading to possible adhesion between adjacent tiles; d) any v

34、isual effects on the face of the tile. The following were measured and tabulated alongside %E: The following correlation coefficients were ascertained: NA.2 Conclusions NA.2.1 The low level loop tufted products showed least indentation after a period of recovery. The hair and velour products showed

35、a more noticeable imprint. The visual effect did not have any obvious relationship with %E. NA.2.2 Rather surprisingly, the %E parameter appears to have a poor correlation with I F , H Rand D R , the measurable factors which would be important in a “use” situation. Moreover, the correlation is negat

36、ive. The sample giving the greatest %E showed the lowest indentation after a period of recovery. This appears to be purely a function of the choice of carpet types used in the investigation. NA.2.3 The creep test described in EN995 gives results which appear to be largely unrelated to those factors

37、which occur as a result of creep of tile backing in an installation. I F depth of indentation on face, measured at least 7 days after removal from the creep test (in mm); H R height of rim on back measured after 7 days (in mm); D R diameter of rim on back (in mm).
