20、1996 BSI 1997 1 Scope This standard specifies a method for the determination of the resistance of rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics to water penetration (hydrostatic resistance) when subjected to a specific hydrostatic pressure over a fixed period of time. Two test specimen sizes are given; one is
21、circular, the other square. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subseq
22、uent 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 edition of the publication referred to applies. EN ISO 2231 Rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics Standard atmospheres fo
23、r conditioning and testing (ISO 2231 : 1989) EN 22286 Rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics Determination of roll characteristics (ISO 2286 : 1986) 3 Principle A test specimen of coated fabric is subjected to an increasing pressure of water on one face, under standard conditions, until a predetermined
24、pressure specified in the coated fabric specification is obtained. The required pressure is maintained for a specified time or until penetration occurs, whichever is the sooner. 4 Apparatus 4.1 General The apparatus consists of a well, fitted with a clamp to fasten the test specimen over the well. T
25、he well has a nozzle on its lower part, allowing it to be connected to a water inlet pipe so as to fill it at room temperature. A restraining mesh is fitted over the test specimen. This mesh comprises wires of 1 mm up to 1,2 mm diameter to form squares of not greater than 30 mm side. 4.2 Means of me
26、asuring water pressure Either a manometer connected to the testing head, allowing water pressure up to 19,6 kPa (200 cmH 2 O) to be read to an accuracy of 1%, or a pressure gauge, graduated in centimetres head of water, or in kilopascals with a maximum reading of at least 100 kPa (946 cmH 2 O), is u
27、sed as the means of measuring the water pressure applied to the test specimen. 4.3 Test specimen area The open part of the well (4.1) over which the test specimen is clamped shall be either a square having a side of 100 mm (100 cm 2 ) or a circle of 113 mm diameter (100 cm 2 ). If necessary, soft ru
28、bber sealing gaskets can be employed between the coated fabric test specimen and the surfaces of the clamps in order to reduce the risk of damage to the test specimen by the clamps, and to facilitate the testing of seams. In this respect, rubber having a hardness of approximately 40 IRHD (Internatio
29、nal Rubber Hardness Degree) and approximately 1 cm thick or 1 cm in diameter has been found useful. Alternatively, a closed-cell, cross-linked polyethylene foam having a density of 45 kg/m 3 to 55 kg/m 3 and approximately 1 cm thick has also been used. 5 Test specimens 5.1 Conditioning Immediately p
30、rior to testing, condition the test specimens for at least 16 h in an appropriate atmosphere in accordance with EN ISO 2231. 5.2 Sampling Test specimens shall be taken from an area with no functional or visible defects and shall be located in the usable width of the coated fabric as defined in EN 22
31、286. 5.3 Number of test specimens Unless otherwise specified in the material specification, five test specimens shall be tested for each series of tests. 5.4 Shape and dimensions 5.4.1 Square Each test specimen shall be a square with sides measuring approximately 200 mm. 5.4.2 Circular Each test spe
32、cimen shall have a diameter of 130 mm to 200 mm.Page 4 EN 1734 : 1996 BSI 1997 6 Procedure 6.1 Test method With the vessel connected to the water inlet pipe, open the inlet valve and allow the water to run until it overflows. Check that the vessel is horizontal by ensuring that the water is uniforml
33、y flush with all four edges. The open part of the well may be circular. Ensure that the inlet pipe is totally purged of air, and also that the level of water in the vessel corresponds to the zero on the manometer tube. Place the test specimen on the vessel with the face to be tested, moistened prior
34、 to the test, in contact with the water, without trapping any air under the test specimen. Fit the retaining mesh (see 4.1). Secure the test specimen and the mesh firmly on the vessel using the clamp, taking care to ensure that the edges of the clamp are completely parallel with those of the vessel.
35、 6.2 Application of pressure Open the inlet valve so that the pressure gradually increases in the vessel at an approximate rate of 1 m per 3 min. The pressure shall be verified using either a manometer or a pressure gauge (see 4.2). Once the required pressure has been reached, control the inlet valv
36、e, if necessary, and maintain the pressure for the required time (3 min to 5 min). Then inspect the visible part of the test specimen in order to detect whether any water droplets have passed through the coated fabric. Close the vessel inlet valve and return the pressure to zero by opening the evacu
37、ation valve. If a leak is detected in the test specimen clamping zone during the test, begin again. 7 Expression of results The visible face of the coated fabric shall not have any water penetration points nor any trace of moisture, on any of the five test specimens. A water penetration point is con
38、sidered to be any spot in which a drop appears as a pin prick and grows to reach a diameter of 1 mm to 1,5 mm. Penetration occurring exactly on the edges of the clamp shall not be considered to be a water penetration point. 8 Test report The test report shall include the following: a) the date of th
39、e test; b) reference to this standard; c) the description of the coated fabric; d) the conditioning and testing atmosphere used; e) the number of test specimens used; f) whether the test specimens were square or circular; g) which side(s) of the coated fabric were subjected to water pressure; h) the
40、 pressure level and the time applied; i) whether any leakage occurred and at what time interval; j) if applicable, the specific conditions used for ageing or other testing; k) details of any deviations from the standard test procedure.
