EN310 was produced as a result of international discussion i
9、n which the UK took an active part. The principle of this method is technically equivalent to A.10 and A.12 of BS1142:1989 Specification for fibre building boards and to clauses10 and 11.1 of BS5669 Particleboard Part1:1989 Methods of sampling, conditioning and test, both of which will be withdrawn

Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This docu

This standard is one of a series of standards specifying methods of test for determining dimensio
19、ns and properties of wood-based panels. No existing European Standard is superseded. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by August1993, and conflicting national standards shall be withdra

EN 326-1, Wood-based panels Sampling, cutting and inspection Part1: Sampling and cutting of test pieces and expression of test results 1) . 3 Principle The modulus of elasticity in bending and bending strength are de
26、termined by applying a load to the centre of a test piece supported at two points. The modulus of elasticity is calculated by using the slope of the linear region of the load-deflection curve; the value calculated is the apparent modulus, not the true modulus, because the test method includes shear
27、as well as bending. The bending strength of each test piece is calculated by determining the ratio of the bending moment M, at the maximum load F max , to the moment of its full cross section. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Measuring instruments, as specified in EN325. 4.2 Testing apparatus (Figure 1), having the
28、following essential components. 4.2.1 Two parallel, cylindrical, roller-bearing supports of length exceeding the width of the test piece and of (15 0,5)mm diameter. The distance between the supports shall be adjustable. A cylindrical loading head, of the same length and(30 0,5)mm in diameter, placed
29、 parallel to the supports and equidistant from them. 4.2.2 A suitable instrument capable of measuring the deflection of the test piece in the middle of the span with an accuracy of0,1mm. 4.2.3 A suitable load measurement system capable of measuring the load applied to the test piece with an accuracy
30、 of1% of the measured value. 5 Test pieces 5.1 Sampling and cutting Sampling and cutting of the test pieces shall be carried out according to EN326-1. Series of both transverse and longitudinal test pieces are required. 5.2 Dimensions of test pieces The test pieces shall be rectangular, and of the f
31、ollowing dimensions: The width b shall be (50 1)mm. In the case of extruded panels, cellular panels, or panels of similar structure with cavities parallel to the length of the test piece, the width of the test piece shall be at least twice the width of an individual core element (e.g.two tube diamet
32、ers plus two web thicknesses) and the test pieces shall have a symmetrical cross-sectional area as shown in Figure 2. In test pieces with cavities perpendicular to the length, the loading head shall be located directly above a web. The length l 2shall be20 times the nominal thickness plus50mm, with
33、a maximum length of1050mm and a minimum length of150mm. If the deflection of the test piece is large but rupture (failure) does not occur, the distance between supports shall be reduced for testing the bending strength. The test report shall include the distance between supports at which failing tes
34、ts were conducted. If this procedure needs to be adopted, a new set of test pieces shall be used. Plywood test pieces shall be free of visible strength-reducing characteristics. 5.3 Conditioning The test pieces shall be conditioned to constant mass in an atmosphere with a relative humidity of(65 5)%
35、 and a temperature of (20 2)C. Constant mass is considered to be reached when the results of two successive weighing operations, carried out at an interval of24 h, do not differ by more than0,1% of the mass of the test piece. 1) At present at the draft stage.EN 310:1993 4 BSI 03-1999 Figure 1 Arrang

37、the distance between the centres of the supports, to within1mm of20times the nominal thickness of the panel, but not less than100mm and not more than1000mm. Measure the distance between the centres of the supports to the nearest0,5mm. 6.3 Place the test piece flat on the supports, with its longitudi
38、nal axis at right angles to those of the supports with the centre point under the load (Figure 1). 6.4 The load shall be applied at a constant rate of cross-head movement throughout the test. The rate of loading shall be adjusted so that the maximum load is reached within (60 30)s. Measure the defle
39、ction in the middle of the test piece (below the loading head) to an accuracy of0,1mm and plot these values against the corresponding loads measured to an accuracy of1% of the measured value. If deflection is determined by incremental readings, at least6pairs of readings shall be used. 6.5 Record th
40、e maximum load to an accuracy of1% of the measured value. 6.6 Carry out tests on two groups of test pieces according to the two directions of the board, i.e.in the longitudinal and transverse directions. Within each group, test half of the test pieces with the “top face” upwards and half with the “b
41、ottom face” upwards. 7 Expression of results 7.1 Modulus of elasticity 7.1.1 The modulus of elasticity E m(in N/mm 2 ), of each test piece, is calculated from the formula: where The modulus of elasticity for each test piece shall be expressed to three significant figures. 7.1.2 The modulus of elasti
42、city for each group of test pieces taken from the same board (6.6) is the arithmetic mean of the moduli of elasticity of the appropriate test pieces, expressed to three significant figures. 7.2 Bending strength 7.2.1 The bending strength f m(in N/mm 2 ), of each test piece, is calculated from the fo
43、rmula: where F maxis the maximum load, in newtons l 1 , b, and t are in millimetres as defined in 7.1.1 The bending strength of each test piece shall be expressed to three significant figures. 7.2.2 The bending strength for each group of test pieces taken from the same board (6.6) is the arithmetic
44、mean of the bending strengths of the appropriate test pieces, expressed to three significant figures. 8 Test report As described in EN326-1.
