The work of prepa

19、ring 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. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in l

20、iaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publica

21、tion as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

23、heir mixtures. The method described in this standard can possibly be applied to other materials under proper operating conditions. NOTE This method also allows a shrinkage ratio to be assessed. However, the reference method for measuring the shrinkage ratio is ISO 11501, Plastics Film and sheeting D

24、etermination of dimensional change on heating. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply. 2.1 heatshrinkable film film which is extruded and stretched (hot drawn) during manufacture and which remains in this state after cooling down. NOTE When this film is agai

25、n brought up to the temperature at which the stress was induced and then fixed during its manufacture, this stress is liberated and the film shrinks back. depending on the treatment applied, the film can be either heatshrinkable both lengthwise and crosswise: this film is called “biaxially oriented”

26、; or mainly heatshrinkable lengthwise: this film is called “uniaxially oriented”. 2.2 shrinkage ratio decrease in the length of the specimen when it is brought up to the shrinkage temperature, expressed as a percentage of the initial specimen length 2.3 shrinking force, F r force developed by the fi

27、lm when it reaches the temperature corresponding to that at which the stress was induced at the time of manufacture A high film shrinkage is linked to this small force. This small force and this high shrinkage permit the film to gently shrink down on the load. 2.4 contracting force, F c force develo

28、ped by the film during its cooling process This force, much greater than the shrinkage force, ensures the fastening of the load. 2.5 reference temperature, F r air temperature measured by the probe located 5 mm adjacent to the force measurement specimen 45 s after mounting in the heating hood. Under

29、 these conditions, it is considered that sufficient time is allowed for the thermocouple used for the measurement to reach the temperature 3 Principle of the measurement Specimens connected to a force meter or to a displacement transducer are rapidly brought up to the shrinkage temperature, then coo

30、led in the open air to an ambient temperature of 23 C2 C. A device continuously records the reference temperature, the force and possibly the displacement. The recording of these measurements allows one to determine the optimal shrinking conditions.EN ISO 14616:2004 2 BSI 8 September 2004 4 Apparatu

31、s 4.1 Heating hood, vertically mobile, equipped with heating elements and with a regulating device capable of maintaining the air temperature at the specified temperature. 4.2 T-shaped bracket, allowing the fixing of the specimen. 4.3 Force meter, allowing the measurement of the shrinkage and contra

32、ction forces within a force range of at least 20 N with an accuracy of 2 %. 4.4 Displacement transducer, capable of measuring a displacement with an accuracy of 1 mm. 4.5 Multichannel acquisition device, allowing the continuous recording of the different variables: times, forces, displacement, . 4.6

33、 Thermocouple probe, having a diameter of 1,5 mm (max), capable of measuring the air temperature 5 mm off the force measurement specimen with an accuracy of 2 C. The thermocouple tip shall be oriented towards the middle of the specimen. This thermocouple is used for determining the reference tempera

34、ture F r . Depending on the heating resistors and on the location of the apparatus (influence of the environment), the performance characteristics of each individual testing apparatus may differ slightly. It is therefore necessary to determine the relationship between the temperature F r(45 s after

35、mounting the heating hood, see 2.5) and that displayed by the regulating device. Plot the correlation curve between F rand the settings of the hood temperature regulating device. This operation shall be repeated at regular intervals in order to detect any possible drift. NOTE In general, this correl

36、ation curve is determined for a range of temperatures F rbetween 100 C and 230 C. 4.7 Thickness gauge, capable of measuring to an accuracy of 1 m. Figure 1 Example of apparatusEN ISO 14616:2004 BSI 8 September 2004 3 5 Specimens Prepare at least ten specimens in each direction (lengthwise and crossw

37、ise). Their width shall be 15 mm 0,5 mm. Their length shall be such that it is possible to have an effective length between jaws of 100 mm. Their thickness, measured by the thickness gauge (4.7) to the nearest 1 m, is represented by the mean of three measurements repeated regularly on the specimen l

38、ength. 6 Procedure 6.1 Measurement of the shrinking and contracting forces The procedure is identical irrespective of the direction of the specimens, lengthwise or crosswise. As the curves obtained with the lengthwise specimens are easier to develop, it is advised to begin testing in the lengthwise

39、direction. 6.1.1 Install the specimens perfectly flat and straight on the force meter without applying any tensile force. 6.1.2 In the absence of a reference temperature F r , known or specified by a product standard, set the temperature regulating device so as to obtain a reference temperature F ro

40、f 200 C3 C using the correlation curve defined in 4.6. 6.1.3 Lower the hood in order to bring the specimens to the shrinkage temperature. Start the timer (or the recording of the time on the plotting table) and the recording of the force. The film shrinkage temperature is reached when the maximum sh

41、rinking force is attained. Record this force, F r , in newtons. When this force has decreased by around 15 % to 30 %, lift the hood and stop the timer (or the recording of the time). Record the time. Continue to record the forces. Record the maximum value of force attained by the contraction, F c ,

42、in newtons. 6.1.4 If the maximum of the recorded shrinking force appears after less than 15 s exposure to the heat, repeat the test by lowering the reference temperature F rby successive steps of 10 C until shrinkage is obtained between 15 s and 30 s. If the maximum shrinking force does not appear a

43、fter 30 s exposure to the heat, resume testing by raising the temperature by successive steps of 10 C until shrinkage is obtained between 15 s and 30 s. 6.2 Assessment of the shrinkage ratio The assessment of the shrinkage ratio can be carried out either at the same time as that of the forces or con

44、secutively, depending on the configuration of the apparatus. It enables one to rapidly compare the properties of the shrinkable films in the production control procedure. NOTE This method does not replace the reference method for measuring the shrinkage ratio specified in ISO 11501. 6.2.1 Install th

45、e specimen perfectly flat and straight, between one of the arms of the bracket and the displacement transducer, the effective length of the specimen being 100 mm. 6.2.2 Conduct the measurement under the same conditions as those adopted for the measurement of the shrinking and contracting forces. Whe

46、n they are conducted simultaneously, make additional provision for recording of the displacements. Record the final value of the displacement after the cooling down of the specimen.EN ISO 14616:2004 4 BSI 8 September 2004 7 Expression of results Calculate: the shrinking stress in pascals, Pa the con
