Thereafter, the method has been modified in different ways by many authors in several
24、countries. After consideration of published work focusing on the method and its reliability, a temperature of 40 C and a period of 3 h have been selected for this standard. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method, known as the flask method, for determination of formaldehyde release from un
25、coated wood-based panels. 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, subseque
26、nt 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 322 Wood-based panels Determination of moisture content EN 323 Wood-

28、ined at a constant temperature. Formaldehyde released from the test pieces during a defined period of time is absorbed by the water. The formaldehyde content of the water is determined photometrically by the acetylacetone method, and the result is expressed in milligrams formaldehyde per kilogram of

36、es of 25 mm3 25 mm3 board thickness shall be taken according to EN 326-1, evenly distributed over the width of the (cooled) board, but excluding a 500 mm wide strip at either end of the board. 6.2 Test pieces for the determination of the moisture content Take 12 test pieces for the determination of
37、the moisture content. 6.3 Test pieces for the determination of the flask value Take a sufficient number of test pieces to obtain approximately 100 g of board for determining the flask value (F v ). Determine the mass of the test pieces to the nearest 0,01 g. The number of test pieces for each set ha
38、s to be chosen so that their total mass is as near as possible to 20 g. In case of doubt the total mass should be preferably below 20 g. The test pieces shall be cut immediately after the board has been cooled. After cutting, the test pieces shall be stored, hermetically sealed, at room temperature.
39、 For comparative reasons the time elapsing between cutting and testing should be kept as constant as possible, but shall not exceed 72 h.Page 5 EN 717-3 : 1996 BSI 1996 7 Procedure 7.1 Determination of moisture content Determine the moisture content in accordance with EN 322. Determine the moisture
40、content in duplicate on two samples of at least four test pieces. 7.2 Determination of formaldehyde release Determinations shall always be made on duplicate sets of test pieces. The individual values shall only differ from each other by a maximum of 20 % related to the higher of two single values. O
41、therwise a third determination shall be carried out. Fix the test pieces face to face in the clip and attach the clip to the lid of the container, using the hook as shown in figure 1 or fix the test pieces with a rubber band as shown in figure 2. Add 50 ml of distilled water at 20 C to the container
42、 using a bulb pipette, attach the lid with the suspended test pieces and close the container so that it is completely airtight. The bottom surfaces of the test pieces should be approximately 40 mm above the surface of the water. A second container shall be prepared in the same way. Insert the closed
43、 containers into the oven (see 5.2.13) at a temperature of (40 1) C. This temperature shall be maintained throughout the whole test period. The containers shall occupy less than 10 % of the whole volume of the oven, that means not more than one container per 6 l of oven volume in order to avoid fluc
44、tuation in the temperature. The containers shall be placed staggered and with a distance of at least 50 mm between each other. After (180 1) min remove the containers from the oven and immediately take off the lids with the test pieces attached. Transfer the solution from the containers to each of t
45、he two 50 ml flasks, close them tightly and allow the contents to cool at ambient temperature to approximately 20 C. 7.3 Determination of formaldehyde concentration of the aqueous solution 7.3.1 General The formaldehyde content of the aqueous solution shall be determined photometrically. 7.3.2 Princ
46、iple The determination is based on the Hantzsch reaction in which aqueous formaldehyde reacts with ammonium ions and acetylacetone to yield diacetyldhydrolutidline (DDL). DDL has an absorption maximum at 412 nm. The reaction is specific to formaldehyde. NOTE: Other suitable photometric procedures ma
47、y also be used. 7.3.3 Reagents 7.3.3.1 Acetylacetone solution 4 ml acetylacetone are added to a 1000 ml volumetric flask and made up to the mark with distilled water. 7.3.3.2 Ammonium acetate solution 200 g ammonium acetate are dissolved with distilled water in a 1000 ml volumetric flask and made up
48、 to the mark. 7.3.4 Procedure 10 ml are taken from the aqueous solution (see 7.2) with a pipette (5.2.6) and added to 10 ml acetylacetone solution (7.3.3.1) and 10 ml ammonium acetate solution (7.3.3.2) in a 50 ml flask (5.2.5). The flask is stoppered, shaken and warmed for 15 min in a water bath (5
49、.2.1) of (40 1) C. The now greenish-yellow solution is cooled to room temperature protected from light (about 1 h). The absorbance of this solution is determined at a wavelength of 412 nm against distilled water using a spectrophotometer (5.2.14). A blank test shall be made with distilled water, the blank value shall be taken into consideration in the determinations of the flask value (F v ). 7.3.5 Calibration curve (see figure 3) 7.3.5.1 General A calibration curve is produced fr
