ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Pa
19、rt 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted.

33、ncipleDetermination of the breaking load, breaking strength, and modulus of rupture of a tile by applying a force at a specified rate to the centre of the tile, the point of application being in contact with the proper surface of the tile.5 Apparatus5.1 Drying oven, capable of being operated at (110
34、 5) C.Microwave, infrared or other drying systems can be used provided that it has been determined that equal results are obtained.5.2 Recording pressure gauge, accurate to 2,0 %.5.3 Two cylindrical support rods, made of metal, the parts in contact with the test specimens being covered with rubber h
35、aving a hardness of (50 5) IRHD, measured in accordance with ISO 48.One rod shall be slightly pivotable (see Figure 2) and the other shall be slightly rotatable about its own axis. See Table 1 for relevant dimensions.5.4 Central cylindrical rod, of the same diameter as the support rods (5.3) and cov
36、ered with the same rubber, for transmission of the load.This rod shall also be slightly pivotable (see Figure 2). See Table 1 for relevant dimensions.Table 1 Diameter of rods, d, thickness of rubber, t, and overlap of tile beyond the edge supports, l1Dimensions of tile,L mmDiameter of rod,dmmThickne

Dry each test specimens in the drying oven (5.1) maintained over 105 C during at least 24 h, and let them cool until th
38、ey reach room temperature. Test specimens shall be tested not later than 3 h after they have reached room temperature.7.2 Place a test specimen on the support rods (5.3), with the glazed or proper surface uppermost so that the test specimen projects by a length l1(see Table 1 and Figure 1) beyond ea
39、ch support rod.7.3 In the case of reversible tiles, such as unglazed ceramic mosaic tiles, it does not matter which side of the tile is uppermost. For extruded tiles, place the test specimen so that the projecting ribs are at right angles to the support rods. For all other rectangular tiles, place t
40、he test specimens so that the longer side, L, is at right angles to the support rods.7.4 For tiles with a relief surface, place a second layer of rubber, of the appropriate thickness given in Table 1, on the central rod (5.4) in contact with the relief surface.7.5 Position the central rod equidistan
41、t between the support rods. Apply the load evenly in such a way as to obtain a rate of increase in stress of (1 0,2) N/mm2per second; the actual rate per second can be calculated by Formula (2) given in Clause 8. Record the breaking load F.8 CalculationUse only the results for test specimens that br
42、eak within a central portion of length equivalent to one third of the distance between the supporting rods to calculate the mean breaking strength and the mean modulus of rupture. A minimum of five acceptable results is necessary to calculate the mean value.If there are fewer than five acceptable re
43、sults, a second sample shall be tested consisting of twice the number of tiles. A minimum of 10 acceptable results is then required to calculate the average value.The breaking strength, S, expressed in newtons, is calculated by means of Formula (1):SFlb=2(1)whereF is the breaking load, expressed in
44、newtons;l2is the span between the support rods (see Figure 1), in mm;b is the width of the test specimen, in mm. ISO 2014 All rights reserved 3BS EN ISO 10545-4:2014ISO 10545-4:2014(E)The modulus of rupture, R, expressed in newtons per square millimetre, is calculated by means of Formula (2):RFlbhSh
45、=3232222(2)whereF is the breaking load, expressed in newtons;l2is the span between the support rods (see Figure 1), in mm;b is the width of the test specimen, in mm;h is the minimum thickness of the test specimen measured after the test along the broken edge, in mm.The calculation of the modulus of
46、rupture is based on a rectangular cross-section. In the case of tiles with variable thickness along the broken edge, approximate results only are produced. The shallower the relief, the more exact are the approximations.Record all individual results.Calculate the mean breaking strength and the mean
47、modulus of rupture of the sample as the mean of the acceptable results.9 Test reportThe test report shall include the following information:a) reference to this part of ISO 10545;b) description of the tiles, including relief surface, if any;c) number of test specimens in the sample;d) the values of
