This E

14、uropean Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the lat- est by September 2002. This document supersedes EN 31 8:1993. Compared t

15、o the version EN 318:1993 the following modifications have been made: a) The scope has been extended from fibre boards to wood-based panels b) The conditioning procedure has been modified According to the CENKENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following coun- tr

16、ies are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Swe- den, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 3 EN 318:2002 (E) 1 Scope This European Stan

17、dard specifies a method for the determination of dimensional changes in wood-based panels, due to changes in the relative humidity of the air. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are

18、cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest ed

19、ition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments). EN 322, Wood-based panels - Determination of moisture content. EN 326-1, Wood-based panels - Sampling, cutting and inspection - Part I: Sampling and cutting of test pieces and expression of test results. 3 Principle Because variati

20、ons in relative humidity affect the moisture content of a panel and result in changes to its dimen- sions, test pieces are measured after conditioning to different levels of relative humidity. The equilibrium moisture content of panel products is dependent on the history of moisture change. Higher e

21、quilibrium moisture contents for any one relative humidity are achieved in desorption compared with adsorption; this gives rise to a hysteresis effect. In order to obtain the true dimensional change, this is measured between 65 % relative humidity and 85 % relative humidity in adsorption and 65 % re

22、lative humidity and 30 % relative humidity in desorption. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Balance Balance as described in EN 322. 4.2 Measuring instruments for length and thickness Instruments for measuring length and thickness with an accuracy of f 0,Ol mm. An example of a length measuring equipment is shown in Fi

23、gure 1. 4.3 Calibration bar Corrosion resistant metal bar of sufficient length and shape to calibrate the length measuring equipment. The length of the calibration bar shall be known to within 0,Ol mm. 4.4 Climate chamber Climate chamber(s) capable of maintaining the required temperature to f 1 “C a

24、nd relative humidity to f 3 %. 4 EN 318:2002 (E) 300 I I Figure 1 - Example of length measuring equipment 4.5 Drying cabinet Ventilated drying oven, capable of being controlled at (103 f 2) OC. 4.6 Hygrometer Hygrometer with an accuracy of f 1 % relative humidity to measure and record the relative a

25、ir humidity in the climate cham ber. 4.7 Thermometer Thermometer with an accuracy off 0,5 OC to measure and record temperature in the climate chamber 5 Test pieces The normal dimensions of test pieces are (300 f 2) mm x (50 f 2) mm x t (panel thickness) but longer test pieces may be used. From each

26、panel, two sets of four test pieces shall be cut in each panel direction to give 16 test pieces per panel in total. The general conditions for sampling of the test pieces shall be in accordance with EN 326-1. 6 Procedure 6.1 Test piece preparation 6.1 .I General The test pieces shall be prepared wit

27、h suitable markings to ensure that the measurement will be carried out at the same position each time. 6.1.2 Thickness measuring points The marks are placed on the centre line of the test piece 50 mm from the ends and at the mid point, as shown in Fig- ure 2. Ink marks on the surface of the test pie

28、ce are considered to be adequate. Other types of markings may be used if proven to give correct results. 6.1.3 Length measuring points A suitable reference system comprises glass plates with a thickness of at least 1 mm glued to the ends of the test piece. An alternative reference system is metal kn

29、obs, placed at a distance of 250 mm apart, approximately 25 mm from each end. The knobs can be mechanically fastened or glued onto the surface of the test piece. The adhesive shall not be water-based or hygroscopic. Other types of reference systems may be used if proven to give correct re- sults. 5

Condition the test pieces to constant mass in each of the steps given in Table 1. Measure l

32、ength, thickness and mass according to 6.3 after steps 2 and 3. Constant mass is considered to be reached when the results of two successive weighing operations, carried out at an interval of 24 h, do not differ by more than 0,l % of the mass of the test piece. The climate shall be measured and reco

33、rded at an interval of not less than once an hour during the conditioning of the test pieces . 6.3 Measurements After steps 2 and 3 of the conditioning periods the following parameters shall be measured on the test pieces: - the distance between the length markings. Before measuring the length, the

34、equipment shall be calibrated by using the calibration bar described in 4.3. Warped or bent test pieces shall be straightened during the meas- urement; - the thickness of the test pieces. The measurements shall be carried out at three points, see Figure 2; - the mass of the test pieces. 6 EN 318:200

35、2 (E) All the measurements have to be performed in the conditioning atmosphere or within 5 minutes after the test pieces have been taken out from the climate chamber. 6.4 Drying After the test, the test pieces shall be dried according to EN 322 and then be weighed. 7 Expression of results 7.1 Moistu

36、re content For each test piece calculate the moisture content for the three climates in steps 2 and 3 in accordance with EN 322 by using the results from 6.3 and 6.4. When necessary, the recorded masses shall be corrected to take account of the mass of the markings used. NOTE give misleading results
