Method 1 describes a procedure for butt joints and overlapped adhesive joints in which a direct force is appl
18、ied. Method 2 describes a procedure for reinforced butt joints in which a peel force is applied. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

Key 1 chemical, hot melt adhesive/mechanical joint (including sewn seams) Figure 1 Butt joint 3.2 Principle An increasing tensile force is applied perpendicular to the joint until it breaks and the maximum force applied is recorded (see Figure 2).

Allow frozen test pieces to thaw and dry (as above) before conditioning. 3.6 Procedure Mount the test piece in the te
29、sting machine in axial alignment with the direction of pull. Set the moving jaw in motion at a speed of 100 mm/min and, preferably by means of an automatic recording system, note the force at break or the maximum force exerted. Repeat the test on the remaining test pieces to obtain five sets of valu
30、es. If the strength of the joint is greater than the strength of the synthetic sports surface it is joining, report the strength of the synthetic sports surface and state in the test report that the strength of the joint is greater than that of the sports surface. If, in the case of an overlapped ad
31、hesive joint, the separation takes place parallel to the glued surfaces, the result shall be calculated as a shear force. DIN EN 12228:2013-12 EN 12228:2013 (E) 9 3.7 Calculation and expression of results Calculate the mean value of the force at break or the maximum force exerted for the five tests
32、and express the result in Newtons per 100 mm, rounded to the nearest Newton. For an overlapped adhesive joint where the separation takes place parallel to the glued surfaces, the shear force S, expressed in Newtons per square millimetre, shall be calculated from the following formula. AFS=where F is
33、 the force at break, in Newtons; A is 100 mm the width, in millimetres, of the overlapping joint. 4 Method 2 Peel method 4.1 General This method is suitable for all types of synthetic sports surface that incorporate a reinforced butt joint (see Figure 7).

37、layout Peel method, reinforced butt joint Cut each piece of surface along the line of the joint forming two test pieces each measuring a minimum length 150 mm and width (100 1) mm. If possible, when preparing the joint, extend the backing material beyond the synthetic surfacing by 100 mm to 200 mm t
38、o help initiate the peel. 4.5 Conditioning and test temperature Condition the test pieces as described in 3.5. 4.6 Procedure For reinforced butt joints, peel the backing material from the synthetic surface for a distance of approximately 100 mm. If a solvent is used, take care to ensure that the sol
39、vent does not work along the joint and affect the recorded peel strength. If a solvent is used for initial separation remove it by storing the test piece in a ventilated oven at 60 C for 2 h, followed by conditioning as described in 4.5. A minimum recorded sample length of 100 mm is required for a v
40、alid measurement. WARNING All solvents should be handled with extreme care in accordance with manufacturers instructions. Clamp the test piece in the jaws of the testing apparatus. Set the moving jaw in motion at a speed of 100 mm/min, and, preferably by means of an automatic recording system, note
41、the forces exerted on the test piece. Stop the test within 10 mm of the separation of the joint. If the force fluctuates by 5 %, record a maximum of 10 peaks and calculate the average peak force. DIN EN 12228:2013-12 EN 12228:2013 (E) 12 If the backing material or synthetic surfacing consistently br
42、eaks during the test, indicating that the peel strength is higher than that of the material, record the breaking strength of the material, and indicate this in the test report. Report also any other types of failure. Repeat the test on the remaining test pieces. 4.7 Calculation and expression of res
43、ults Calculate the average force between 25 % and 75 % of the peel length recorded during the test, by calculating the mean force of the peaks occurring during this portion of the test, as shown in Figure 10. When more than 10 peaks are recorded during the test, use only the 10 highest peaks to calc
44、ulate the average peak force. Key 1 force in N 2 length in mm Figure 10 Calculation of average force Calculate the mean value for each test piece and express this result in Newtons per 100 mm. Calculate the mean of the individual results and express the overall result in Newtons per 100 mm, rounded
45、to the nearest Newton. 5 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) number of this European Standard, i.e. EN 12228:2013, Method 1 or 2; b) complete identification of the surfacing tested, including type and manufacturers reference; c) description of the jointing process
46、 including the orientation of the seam with respect to the construction of the surface; d) temperature of test and relative humidity, if required; e) mean joint force; f) individual test results if required; g) type of failure for each test piece e.g. failure of stitching, failure at bond, between backing material and test piece, failure due to breaking of backing material.
