Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be h
14、eld responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 1602:1996. The revision of this standard contains no major changes, only minor corrections and clarifications of an editorial nature. This European Standard is one of a series of standards which specify test m
15、ethods for determining dimensions and properties of thermal insulating materials and products. lt supports a series of product standards for thermal insulating materials and products which derive from the Council Directive of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrat

BS EN 1602:2013EN 1602:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the apparent overall density and the apparent core density under reference conditions. It is applicable to full size thermal ins
30、ulating products and test specimens. This standard can also be applied to the individual layers of multi-layered products. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references,
31、 only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

32、ermination of thickness EN 12085, Thermal insulating products for building applications Determination of linear dimensions of test specimens 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 apparent overall density amass per unit volume of a p
33、roduct, including all surface skins formed during production, but excluding any facings and/or coatings 3.2 apparent core density cmass per unit volume of the core of a product after all surface skins formed during production and all facings and/or coatings have been removed 4 Principle The density
34、is determined as the ratio of the mass and the volume of the test specimen. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Balance, capable of determining the mass of a test specimen to an accuracy of 0,5 %. 5.2 Equipment, for the determination of linear dimensions (see 7.2). 6 Test specimens 6.1 Dimensions of test specimens The
35、test specimens shall be full size products or parts of them, or test specimens used for other tests. The shape of test specimens shall be such that their volume can be easily calculated. BS EN 1602:2013EN 1602:2013 (E) 6 When the apparent overall density is being determined using test specimens cut
36、from a product with surface skins formed during production, the ratio of the area of the surface skin to the total volume shall be the same for the test specimen as for the product. The size of a test specimen should preferably be as large as possible, commensurate with the apparatus available and w
37、ith the shape of the original product. The size of the test specimens may also be specified in other test methods. 6.2 Number of test specimens The number of test specimens for full size products shall be as specified in the relevant product standard. If test specimens from other tests are used, the
38、 number shall be as specified in the test method. If the number is not specified, then at least five test specimens shall be used. In the absence of a product standard or any other European Technical Specification, the number of test specimens may be agreed between parties. 6.3 Preparation of test s
39、pecimens The test specimens shall be cut by methods that do not change the original structure of the product. The location from which the test specimens are taken shall be such that the density obtained is representative of the density of the product. For determining the apparent overall density, an
40、y facings and/or coatings shall be removed from the product. For determining the apparent core density, any surface skins formed during production and any facings and/or coatings shall be removed from the product. When it is not possible to remove the facings and/or coatings without influencing the
41、apparent density of the product, the mass of the facings and/or coatings shall be deducted by calculation. Special methods of preparation, when needed, are given in the relevant product standard. 6.4 Conditioning of test specimens The specimens shall be conditioned at (23 2) C and (50 5) % relative
42、humidity until constant mass is achieved. The time for conditioning and the required accuracy of the constant mass measurements shall be given in the relevant product standard. If it can be shown that temperature and humidity have negligible influence on the determination of the density, then the co
43、nditioning may be carried out at (23 5) C. The conditioning time can be shortened by pre-drying the specimen in a ventilated oven at a prescribed temperature. Appropriate procedures may be given in the relevant product standard. 7 Procedure 7.1 Test conditions The test shall be carried out at (23 2)
44、 C and (50 5) % relative humidity. If it can be shown that temperature and humidity have negligible influence on the determination of the density, testing may be carried out at (23 5) C. BS EN 1602:2013EN 1602:2013 (E) 7 7.2 Test procedure Measure the linear dimensions of full size products in accor
45、dance with EN 822 and EN 823. Measure the linear dimensions of specimens in accordance with EN 12085. For full size products, the length, width, and thickness shall be given to the nearest millimetre. For test specimens, the measurements shall be made to an accuracy of 0,5 %. Calculate the volumes o
46、f the test specimens from these measurements. Weigh each test specimen to an accuracy of 0,5 % and record its mass in kilograms. If the facings and/or coatings are retained, the mass of the product shall be calculated by deducting the mass of the facings and/or coatings and adhesives, if any, from t
47、he overall mass. If a greater accuracy for dimensions of full size products is needed, this shall be specified in the relevant product standard. 8 Calculation and expression of results Calculate the apparent overall density, a, or apparent core density, c, in kg/m3, using the formula: Vm= (1) where
48、m is the mass of the test specimen, in kg; V is the volume of the test specimen, in m3. (aor c) for the specimen is to be given to three significant figures. 9 Accuracy of measurement NOTE It has not been possible to include a statement on the accuracy of the method in this edition of the standard,
49、but it is intended to include such a statement when the standard is next revised. 10 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) reference to this European Standard; b) product identification: 1) product name, factory, manufacturer, or supplier; 2) production code number; 3) type of product; 4) packaging; 5) the form in which the product arrived at the laboratory; BS EN 1602:2013EN 1602:2013 (E) 8 6) other informatio
