United States14. High-temperature Core Cohesion4.1
15、 Summary of Test MethodThe high-temperature corecohesion of gypsum panel products is evaluated by applying ashear force and bending moment to a cantilevered test speci-men by hanging a weight from the free end of the specimen.The specimen is exposed to heating from two burner flames ata specified di
16、stance and location from its fixed end. Theexposure of the specimen to the burner flame results in thecalcination of the specimen, which weakens the core matrixand results in deflection of the loaded, cantilevered specimen.When a specified deflection occurs, the specimen is examinedfor breakage. Thi
17、s test is derived from an earlier version of thehigh-temperature core cohesion test found in EN 520.4.2 Significance and UseThis test method provides aprocedure for evaluating the high temperature strain capacityof gypsum panel products.4.3 Apparatus:4.3.1 Specimen Mounting DeviceA fixture capable o
18、frigidly supporting the specimen and weight in the horizontalplane. The specimen is clamped or otherwise held rigidly atone end in a cantilevered horizontal position. The mountingfixture shall provide sufficient clearance of the end weightfixture above the horizontal base to allow for the full presc
19、ribeddeflection of the specimen. (Figs. 1 and 2).4.3.2 Hanger StrapA bracket for suspending a weightfrom the free end of the test specimen consisting of anL-shaped metal strap constructed of 20 gauge sheet metal orother suitable material. The short leg of the strap is 0.65 60.05 in. (16 6 1 mm) in l
20、ength. The long leg of the strap hasa mounting hole drilled in it near the outer extremity and is ofsufficient length that the hook or wire by which the loadingweight is suspended from the strap does not contact thespecimen.4.3.3 Loading WeightA weight fitted with a hook or wirefor hanging it from t
21、he free end of the specimen by means ofthe hanger strap. The loading weight may be configured as acup or disk to receive weighted shot or slotted disks to adjustthe weight for different test specimen thicknesses. The totalweight of the entire loading device (hanger strap, loadingweight, suspension w
22、ire or hook) shall correspond to thenominal thickness of the sample in accordance with Eq 1,rounded to the nearest integer multiple of 25, and shown inTable 1:4.3.4 PlatformAn adjustable height platform to limit thedeflection of the specimen to the specified distance of 0.4 60.05 in.
