BS EN 73:2014EN 73:2014 (E) 4 Introduction During its service life, preservative-treated wood can be exposed to conditions which may cause the volatilization and removal of the wood preservative thereby re
17、ducing its effectiveness. This European Standard provides a laboratory based method for ageing test blocks which are to be subject to biological testing. BS EN 73:2014EN 73:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies an evaporative ageing procedure, applicable to test specimens of wood which
18、 have been previously treated with a wood preservative, in order to evaluate any loss of effectiveness when these test specimens are subsequently subjected to biological tests. 2 Principle Test specimens are prepared for biological testing of the effectiveness of wood preservatives against either fu
19、ngi or insects using the appropriate standards methods. Test specimens are exposed, for a specified period, in a dust-free current of air of a defined velocity and temperature. 3 Equipment 3.1 A wind tunnel which is compartmented and fitted with devices for heating and distributing air. The air shal
20、l be dust-free and shall not be polluted by chemical products which could have an effect on the test results. The heating and distribution devices shall be such that the temperature and air velocity are maintained constant and uniform in each compartment. The air leaving the tunnel shall be led away
21、 in such a manner that it cannot re-enter the tunnel. 3.2 A device which: a) controls the temperature within the defined limits stated in 5.2; b) measures and records the air temperature within the defined limits as stated in 5.2. 3.3 An anemometer capable of measuring air velocity of (1 0,3) m/s. 4
22、 Test specimens 4.1 Definitions and origin The test specimens and their preparation are defined in the standards concerning the biological tests to which they are intended to be subjected. The evaporative ageing procedure shall be carried out no more than 3 months after the end of the conditioning p
23、eriod that follows the treatment of the test specimens described in the relevant biological test standard. An alternative period can be used if specified by the product supplier. This shall be stated in the test report. 4.2 Number of test specimens The number of test specimens shall allow the releva
24、nt biological tests to be carried out in accordance with the instructions in the appropriate standards, bearing in mind that the evaporative ageing procedure shall be applied equally to treated test specimens that are subjected to biological agents and to control test specimens. BS EN 73:2014EN 73:2
25、014 (E) 6 The control test specimens may be of the following kinds where required by the relevant test standard: treated control test specimens that will not be subjected to attack by biological agents after the evaporative ageing procedure. These will serve as controls for changes in mass in those
26、tests in which this factor is taken into consideration; untreated control specimens which, after evaporative ageing, are subjected to the test by biological agents, to check any variation in the behaviour of untreated wood. 5 Procedure 5.1 Arrangement of the test specimens Arrange the test specimens
27、 in the compartments on grids made from metal or any other inert material which can be decontaminated, resting them with one of their faces on the base so that none of the other faces is less than 10 mm from the side partitions. The faces parallel to the grain of the wood shall be parallel to the ge
28、neral direction of air flow and they shall be at least 10 mm from the corresponding faces of the adjacent test specimens. Do not place in the same compartment either test specimens treated with different products or with different concentrations or loadings of the same product or treated and control
29、 specimens. Arrange the test specimens according to type, as follows: Test specimens treated on all surfaces Rest the test specimens on one of the small faces parallel to the grain of wood with the faces that are perpendicular to the grain of the wood at least 20 mm away from the corresponding faces
30、 of adjacent test pieces. For example, specimens intended for testing in accordance with EN 113 (basidiomycetes). Test specimens for which the faces perpendicular to the grain of wood are sealed before treatment Arrange the test specimens as above. The sealed faces may, however, be brought closer to
31、gether. For example, specimens intended for testing in accordance with EN 118 (termites). Test specimens with one treated face only Rest the test specimens on the opposite face to that which has been treated. For example, test specimens intended for the test determining preventive action against ter
32、mites (EN 118) and the larvae of Hylotrupes bajulus. 5.2 Starting and adjustment of the apparatus With the test specimens in position, establish an air current controlled at a temperature of (40 2) C which enters the compartments at a speed of (1 0,3) m/s. 5.3 Procedure Maintain the test specimens i
33、n the arrangement specified in 5.1 and under the conditions specified in 5.2 for two weeks (14 days). BS EN 73:2014EN 73:2014 (E) 7 In order to obtain homogeneous evaporation from all the treated faces of a test specimen, rotate the test specimens through an angle of 180 on its small horizontal axis
34、 every two week (14 days) period (see Figure 2). Test specimens with only one treated surface shall be rotated through an angle of 180 on their vertical axis every two weeks (14 days) period (see Figure 3). If a compartment contains more than one test specimen, at the same time as rotating the test
35、specimens, change the position of the specimens within this compartment, the method depending on the number of test specimens which it contains and on the duration of the procedure (see Figure 1). a) Position of test specimens in 1st week b) Position of test specimens in 2nd week c) Position of test
36、 specimens in 3rd week Each progressive move is associated with a rotation (see Figures 2 and 3). Figure 1 Movement of test specimens in a compartment containing more than one test specimen BS EN 73:2014EN 73:2014 (E) 8 Figure 2 Rotation of test specimen with 4 or 6 treated surfaces through an angle
37、 of 180 on its small horizontal axis NOTE The specimen rests on the untreated surface that is opposite the treated surface. Figure 3 Rotation of test specimen with only one treated surface through an angle of 180 on its vertical axis 5.4 Exposure period in the tunnel The duration of the exposure per
38、iod is 12 weeks. For certain specific applications alternative periods of ageing may be used, in which case the ageing period should be mentioned in the report of the biological test concerned. 6 Destination of the test specimens after the evaporative ageing procedure After completion of the ageing
39、procedure and the post exposure conditioning period the test specimens shall be subject to biological tests within 3 months. 7 Reference to this standard in biological test reports Quote the evaporative ageing procedure by giving the number of this European Standard (i.e. EN 73), the duration of eva
40、porative ageing period and the date of the start of the biological tests in the test report for each biological test. The duration and conditions of storage of the test specimen between initial preparation and the start of the ageing procedure shall also be reported. Any deviation from the method de
41、scribed in this standard shall be reported in the test report.
