20、to determine the moulding shrinkage of compression moulded test specimens of thermoset moulding compounds. It applies only to materials which exhibit no post-shrinkage after moulding such as polyester SMC (sheet moulding compound) and BMC (bulk moulding compound). Knowledge of the shrinkage allows t
21、he construction of moulds to produce parts with accurate dimensions, as well as evaluation of the suitability of a moulding compound for this purpose. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative refere

For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

25、owing definition apply: moulding shrinkage the difference in dimensions between a moulding and the mould cavity in which it was moulded, both the mould and the moulding being at normal temperature when measured (ISO 2577 : 1984). 4 Apparatus 4.1 Mould and press suitable for moulding the test specime
26、ns specified in clause 6. Use a mould with a plane mould cavity not smaller than 200 cm 2 . This mould shall be used with punch and die being able to maintain a positive pressure on the material. It can be rectangular, square or circular or as described in EN ISO 12114 or in prEN 12576. The mould ca
27、n be designed with gauge marks engraved into mould cavity near opposite ends and with or without draft angles. NOTE. Draft angles result in the opposite ends not being parallel which can cause difficulties in length measurement (see 7.4). In this case a reference plane at points 2 mm above the small
28、er surface can be used. 4.2 Equipment suitable for measuring the sizes of test specimens and the corresponding cavity of the mould with an accuracy of 0,01 mm. 4.3 Non metallic cooling rack to hold the test specimens vertically with a minimum spacing of 20 mm. NOTE. To achieve symmetrical cooling, b
29、oth outer test specimens are protected by additional protective plates. 5 Sampling and conditioning of the moulding compound Samples shall be taken from the moulding compound after maturation within the shelf-life given in the specification. They shall be placed inside an appropriate bag to avoid lo
30、ss of volatile components and moisture absorption, kept under standard atmosphere (according to ISO 291 : 1997) until equilibrium is reached and then moulded into test specimens. 6 Test specimens Test specimens are mouldings obtained by using mould and press (see 4.1). The thickness shall be between
31、 3,5 mm and 5,5 mm. 7 Procedure 7.1 Measure the length of the mould cavity (see note in 4.1), or the distance between the engraved gauge marks in the mould cavity to the nearest 0,01 mm at standard atmosphere as reference length L 0 . Record this measurement for use in the calculation of shrinkage.
32、NOTE. Every year it is recommended to check mould dimensions for wear.Page 4 EN 1842 : 1997 BSI 1997 7.2 Mould three specimens. Unless other conditions are specified or agreed between user and supplier the following conditions apply: mould temperature: 140 C 1%; mould coverage: not less than 90 % fo
33、r SMC. Moulding compounds like BMC shall be preformed to a homogeneous charge prior to moulding; moulding pressure: 7 MPa 5%; Pressing time: 40 seconds per millimetre of thickness of moulded test specimen or for whatever longer time is necessary to ensure full cure. The mould shall be closed within
34、15 s after charging. On the moulded SMC test specimens, identify the production direction and/or unidirectional reinforcement direction if applicable. 7.3 After removal from the mould, allow the test specimens to cool down to room temperature by placing them in the cooling rack (see 4.3). Store them
35、 at standard atmosphere for a minimum of 16 h, or for a shorter time providing it has been shown that it gives the same results. 7.4 For the determination of moulding shrinkage, measure at standard atmosphere, to the nearest 0,01 mm, the length of the test specimens between opposite ends as L 1 . Wi
36、th engraved gauge marks, measure the distance between the marks. With draft angles at the ends of the test specimens, measure the length of the reference plane (see note in 4.1). Without draft angles, measure at any height the distance between opposite ends. Carry out one measurement per test specim
37、en. 8 Expression of results The moulding shrinkage MS is given, as a percentage, by the formula: MS = 3 100 L 0 2 L 1 L 0 where L 0 is the reference length of the mould, in millimetres, determined as in 7.1; L 1 is the corresponding length of the test specimen in millimetres, according to 7.4. NOTE.
38、 A positive value (L 0 2 L 1 0) indicates a shrinkage of the material and a negative value (L 0 2 L 1 0) an expansion. 9 Test report The test report shall include the following particulars: a) reference to this European Standard; b) the type and designation of the moulding compound; c) the type and
39、size of mould used; d) the thickness and the moulding conditions: temperature, pressure, pressing time; e) the moulding shrinkage, MS, as a percentage, stating the individual values and the average value. In case of SMC, specify the direction of measurements with respect to the direction of the SMC
40、machine; and/or to the direction of the unidirectional reinforcement; f) the date of the tests. 10 Precision The precision of this method is not known because interlaboratory data are not available. When interlaboratory data are obtained, a precision statement will be added with the next revision.bl
