11、SO 24339:2006iv Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subje
12、ct for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC
13、) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committe
14、es are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be h
15、eld responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 24339 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 219, Floor coverings. BS ISO 24339:20061Laminate and textile floor coverings Determination of dimensional variations after exposure to humid and dry climate conditions 1 Scope This Int
16、ernational Standard specifies a process to determine the capability of laminate and textile floor coverings to withstand exposure to moderate humid and dry climate conditions. The subclauses pertaining to flatness, openings between elements and height differences between elements only apply to lamin
17、ated floor coverings. 2 Principle To simulate as real use conditions as possible, a test floor covering with an approximate area of 5,5 m2is installed in a climate chamber. After a conditioning period of one week, the floor covering is exposed for four weeks to humid climate and finally another four
18、 weeks to dry climate conditions. When applicable, after each week, dimensional variations, flatness, openings between elements, height differences between elements, etc. are recorded. 3 Apparatus 3.1 Climate chamber, of large enough size to have room for a subfloor as described in 3.2, enabling the
19、 following atmospheres to be maintained: an atmosphere of (23 2) C and (50 5) % relative humidity (RH) called conditioning atmosphere; an atmosphere of (23 2) C and (85 5) % relative humidity (RH) called humid atmosphere; an atmosphere of (23 2)C and (30 5) % relative humidity (RH) called dry atmosp
20、here. lt is possible to use one chamber to maintain successively the three atmospheres or to have three chambers, each one maintaining only one of these atmospheres all the time. 3.2 Subfloor, with an approximate size of 3 m 2 m, rigid and flat (maximum tolerances 5 mm / 2 m and 1 mm / 200 mm). 3.3
21、Set of thickness gauges, with accuracy and an interval of 0,05 mm. 3.4 Apparatus for measuring width flatness, consisting of a dial gauge accurate to 0,01 mm with a rounded tip of radius u 5 mm, installed centrally in relation to three rounded supports with radius W 5 mm. The supports shall be adjus
22、table along a T-shaped assembly of bars to provide the required gauge length. The measurement, d, shall not be less than the width, w, of the test specimen minus 10 mm. The tip of the gauge in contact with the face of the test specimen shall apply a force of (1,0 0,5) N. The mass of the apparatus sh
23、all not affect the flatness of the test specimen beyond the limit of the accuracy of the gauge. See Figure 1. The instrument shall be set to zero against a suitable reference plate.

27、 to the drawing in Figure 3. If applicable, the materials shall be sampled so that the long sides of the elements are aligned as shown in Figure 3. If the elements are equipped with an factory applied underlay, all tests shall be carried out with this material kept on, i.e. no pre-attached underlay
28、material shall be taken off prior to testing. Sample the necessary quantity of textile floor covering to cover a test area of 1 900 mm 2 900 mm. The material shall be tested in accordance with the manufacturer instruction for installation in order to simulate as real in situ situations as possible.

31、e elements (10) Figure 3 Measurement scheme, general principle BS ISO 24339:200655 Procedure 5.1 Installation of the test floor Following the principle drawing from Figure 3, install the floor covering elements to be tested on the subfloor in the climate chamber. The installation shall be in accorda
32、nce with the instructions from the manufacturer and in a conditioned atmosphere of (23 2) C and (50 5) % relative humidity. The installed floor shall have a minimum size of 1 900 mm 2 900 mm. If applicable, the long sides of the floor covering elements shall be aligned with the long side of the test
33、 area. In the case of textile floor coverings, install the floor covering so that the longest side of the tested area corresponds to the direction of manufacture. 5.2 Climatic test periods 5.2.1 Conditioning atmosphere After the installation of the floor covering in the climate chamber, the atmosphe
34、re is kept constant for 7 days at (23 2) C and with a (50 5) % relative humidity (RH), conditioning atmosphere. 5.2.2 Humid atmosphere Once the period in the conditioning atmosphere has passed, the atmosphere in the climate chamber shall be changed to a humid atmosphere at (23 2) C and with a (85 5)
35、 % relative humidity (RH). This humid atmosphere is then kept constant for a period of four weeks. 5.2.3 Dry atmosphere Once the period in the humid atmosphere has passed, the atmosphere in the climate chamber shall be changed to a dry atmosphere at (23 2) C and with a (30 5) % relative humidity (RH
36、). This dry atmosphere is then kept constant for a new period of four weeks. 5.3 Measurements 5.3.1 General Perform the initial measurement after the 7 days conditioning period. Then repeat the measurements every 7 days until the end of the dry period. Except for measuring dimensional variations, al
37、l the measuring points shall be situated at a distance of at least 200 mm from the edges (see Figure 3). All measurements shall always be made at the same points. Each measuring point shall be clearly marked and numbered before the initial measurement. For examples of numbering, see Table 1 and Tabl
38、e 2. 5.3.2 Measuring dimensional variations 5.3.2.1 Dimensional variations General Only the dimensional variations are looked for. An easy measurement of the variations can be taken with a steel ruler, the length of which is slightly shorter (10 mm for example) than the total distance to measure. Th
39、is difference of length is measured with a calliper gauge at the different steps of the test. It is also possible to measure, with a calliper gauge, the distance of the test area to a fixed frame outside of the test area. 5.3.2.2 Dimensional variations across the width (w) The measurements are taken
40、 at three points (see Figure 3). Each measurement needs to be taken between two thrusts fixed to the floor coverings, the distance of which is between 1 500 mm and 1 700 mm. For the BS ISO 24339:20066 measurement against a fixed frame, no thrusts on the test area are necessary. Measure across the wi
41、dth of the elements for laminate floor coverings or over the smallest length of the tested surface for textile floor coverings. 5.3.2.3 Dimensional variations along the length (l) Same procedure as in 5.3.2.2, but the distance between the three thrusts is between 2 500 mm and 2 700 mm. Measure along
42、 the width of the elements for laminate floor coverings or over the longest length of the tested surface for textile floor coverings. 5.3.3 Measuring the width flatness (only for laminate floor coverings) (C) Choose each of the 10 points to measure the width flatness. These points shall be at least
43、50 mm from the end joint of the element. Measure the width flatness with the apparatus described in 3.4. Record all measured values, with its sign, to the nearest 0,01 mm. 5.3.4 Measuring the openings between the elements (only for laminate floor coverings) (JLand JS) Chose each of the 10 points to
44、measure the openings between the elements in the long side (JL) and short side (JS). Each of 10 measurements is taken where the opening between the elements initially seems the biggest. To take the measurements, use the set of thickness gauges described in 3.3. The width of the opening is equal to t
45、he thickest thickness gauge that can be inserted applied with a minimum of force. Record all measured values with the result achieved from the appropriate thickness gauge. 5.3.5 Measuring the height difference between elements (only for laminate floor coverings) (hLand hS) Choose each of the 10 poin
46、ts to measure the height difference between elements at the long (hL) and short sides (hS). Measure the hLand hSwith the apparatus defined in 3.4. Move the apparatus across the joint between the two elements to have the height difference between the two elements. Record all measured values with the
47、result achieved from the appropriate calliper gauge. 5.3.6 Measuring the flatness of the test area (only for laminate floor coverings) (fland fw) The flatness of the assembled floor covering can be measured by using the straight rigid ruler as described in 3.8. This ruler is moved along the floor in
48、 every direction length (fl); width (fw) with the aim of detecting the biggest flatness deviation which is then measured with the help of the set of thickness gauges described in 3.3 or any other apparatus giving the same result. A measurement bridge described in 3.9 that can be moved on a frame out
49、side of the test area can also be used.
