12、 standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. Internationa

13、l organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules

14、given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. Draft International Standards adopted by technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 11561 was

Annex A and Annex B of this International Standard are for information only.iv blankBSISO 11561:1999 BSI 04-2000 1 Introduction The purpose of this International Standard is to determine

16、 the ageing (long-term decrease in thermal resistance) of closed-cell cellular plastic materials and products which have properties that, due to diffusion of contained gases, change with time. The thermal resistance and its rate of change will vary with product variability, temperature and thickness

17、, and also within the thickness due to cross-sectional variability and the effects of natural or applied surface skins or protective facings. The long-term thermal resistance is one property required for establishing design thermal performance under service conditions and for determining life-time e

18、nergy requirements. This International Standard contains two procedures based on the conditioning of thin slices at room temperature, since conditioning at elevated temperatures can induce changes in a material other than those due to diffusion processes. The first, method A, relates to the core mat

19、erial only. An alternative, method B, is a simplified test to determine a conservative value of a design life-time thermal performance of a product. Two informative annexes provide essential background information on the ageing process and on the factors to be considered when measurements are requir

20、ed on faced products. The phenomenon and mechanisms of ageing have been known and understood for many years. The use of a blowing agent produces a relatively uniform cell size and initial high thermal resistivity. However, during the subsequent life of the foam, the principle component gases in the

21、air diffuse into the cells and this increases the cell gas pressure, effectively increasing the thermal conductivity of the gas mixtures. In addition, some of the blowing agent is absorbed by or dissolved into the polymer matrix, saturating it, while the remainder diffuses out. This inward diffusion

22、 is influenced by appropriate diffusion coefficients. These in turn are influenced by the temperature, effective cell diameter in the direction of movement of air components, and the nature of the polymer matrix. Since the diffusion of nitrogen and oxygen molecules into the cells is very much faster

23、 than the outward diffusion of the generally used larger molecule (the blowing agent), the whole ageing process is a combination of two stages: a) a primary stage (thermal drift) due to the significant rate of change of cell gas composition (usually complete within 5 years); b) a secondary stage whe

24、re air diffusion is complete but there is still very slow outward diffusion of the blowing agent (a period much greater than 10 years and estimated in some cases to be over 100 years). 1 Scope This International Standard specifies two laboratory test methods, based on slicing and scaling techniques,

25、 to determine the long-term changes in the thermal resistance of closed-cell (normally 90 %) cellular plastic materials that contain gases which, through diffusion processes, affect the properties of a foam with time. Using standard methods for the measurement of thermal resistance, method A consist

26、s of periodic measurements performed over a short time interval on thin specimens conditioned in a controlled ambient temperature environment. The results of relative change with time are used in conjunction with a mathematical technique to derive the thermal resistance of greater thicknesses of the

27、 material as a function of time. Method B describes a simple test to determine a conservative design life-time value (25 years and longer) for an unfaced, closed-cell, cellular plastic product. This method is limited currently to unfaced homogeneous materials. For this method, multiple specimens of

28、the core and surfaces of materials with variations in the slope of the primary stage thermal resistivity and a time relationship of less than 10 % within a sample are considered to be homogeneous. Generally, products with natural skins or with density deviations normally found with such products may

29、 be considered acceptable for test by this technique. 2 Normative references The following normative document contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard.

NOTE 2Examples of ageing processes are the settling of some low-density fibrous materials and gas diffusion in cellular plastics. NOTE 3Whatever the

35、 process, ageing is always strongly related to the environmental or service conditions to which the material, product or system is exposed and to its shape, size and finish.
