8、Building and Civil Engineering and is the English language version of EN 324-2:1993, Wood-based panels Determination of dimensions of boards Part2 Determination of squareness and edge straightness. EN324-2 was produced as a result of international discussion in which the UK took an active part. The
9、principle of this method is technically equivalent to A.2.5 to A.2.8 of BS1142:1989, Specification for fibre building boards, to clauses7.3 and7.4 of BS5669-1:1989, Particleboards Part1 Methods of sampling, conditioning and test; and to clausesA.2.2, A.2.3, A.3, A.4.2, A.4.3, A.5 and A.6 of BS 6566-

19、riat:Germany). The text is based on ISO9426-2 which has been elaborated with European participation. This standard is one of a series of standards specifying methods of test for determining dimensions and properties of wood-based panels. No existing European Standard is superseded. This European Sta
20、ndard 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by August1993, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December1994. In accordance with the Common CEN/CENELEC Rules the following countr
21、ies are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

23、324-2:1993 BSI 08-1999 3 1 Scope This European Standard specifies methods for measuring the squareness and edge straightness of wood-based panels. It applies to whole flat boards. The methods for the determination of thickness, width and length are specified in EN324-1. 2 Normative references This E
24、uropean 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, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publicati
25、ons 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 322, Wood-based panels Determination of moisture content. EN 326-1, Wood-based panels Sampling, cutting and inspection Part
26、 1: Sampling and cutting of test pieces and expression of test results 1) . 3 Principle Squareness and edge straightness of full size boards is determined by measurement of deviation from a mechanical square or straightedge. 4 Sampling Sampling of panels shall be in accordance with EN326-1. 5 Moistu
27、re content at time of measurement Normally boards are measured in the as-received state. If necessary the moisture content of the boards shall be determined in accordance with EN322. 6 Conditioning If required, the boards shall be conditioned to constant mass in an atmosphere with a relative humidit
28、y of (65 5)% 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 of24h, do not differ by more than0,1% of the mass of the board. 7 Apparatus 7.1 Measuring instrument for length and width measuremen
29、t Steel measuring tape, accurate to1mm. 7.2 Mechanical square A mechanical square, having two arms of1000mm1mm for measuring the deviation of the angles of adjacent sides of a board from a right angle. It shall be accurate to0,2mm in1 000mm (seeFigure 1). 7.3 Straightedge A straightedge, of length a
30、t least equal to the length of the board, or wire of constant cross section and flexible enough to be stretched to assure linearity. 7.4 Steel rule, wedge or caliper for deviation measurements A steel rule, wedge or caliper, graduated to at least0,5mm. 8 Procedure 8.1 Determination of squareness of
31、boards 8.1.1 Place one side of the square against one side of the board the squareness of which is to be measured (seeFigure 2). 1) At present at the draft stage. Figure 1 Accuracy requirements of mechanical squareEN324-2:1993 4 BSI 08-1999 8.1.2 At a distance of 1 000mm1mm from the corner of the bo
32、ard, measure the distance 1between the board edge and the side of the other arm of the square by means of one of the measuring devices specified in7.4 (seeFigure 2). 8.1.3 Follow the same procedure for each of the other corners. 8.2 Determination of edge straightness of boards 8.2.1 Place the straig
33、htedge against a board edge, or locate the wire at the corners of the board and stretch it. 8.2.2 Measure the largest deviation between the straightedge (or wire) and the edge of the board using one of the measuring devices specified in7.4 and read the result to the nearest0,5mm. 8.2.3 Follow the sa
34、me procedure for each of the other edges. 9 Expression of results 9.1 Squareness of boards The result is the largest measured value of the deviation of the side of the square and the board edge. It is expressed in mm over1m board edge-length (mm/m) to the nearest0,5mm/m. 9.2 Straightness of board ed
35、ges The result, expressed separately for width and length, in mm/m, is the larger value of the measured deviations divided by the length of the appropriate edge. 10 Test report As described in EN326-1.
