21、roperties NOTE It has a measurable thickness. 4 Common methods 4.1 Conditioning 4.1.1 Equipment Enclosures with the following climatic conditions: climate A temperature of (20 2) C and relative humidity of (65 5) %; or climate B temperature of (23 2) C and relative humidity of (50 5) %. 4.1.2 Proced
22、ure The manufacturer shall specify either of the conditioning climates above. Unless otherwise specified, all equipment and materials required for the test shall be stabilised and kept in an enclosure in the climate specified. DIN EN 13696:2009-02 EN 13696:2008 (E) 5 4.2 Measurement of the thickness
23、 of the lacquer 4.2.1 Equipment 4.2.1.1 Optical instrument An instrument with a resolution of at least ( 2) m. NOTE For instance, a binocular microscope with a magnification of 100 to 200 and a built-in measuring scale in the field of view. 4.2.1.2 Contrast marking A water-based felt tip pen. 4.2.2
24、Sampling Choose the location from which the test pieces are taken, depending on the purpose of the measurement (either in an unworn area or in a worn area). Test pieces with a size at least 10 mm x 10 mm and by the full thickness shall be cut out of one of the wear test pieces or area to be tested i
25、n elasticity. The number of test pieces is specified in 5.3.3.4.1 and 6.4.1. 4.2.3 Procedure If needed, contrast mark the lacquered face with the felt-tip pen specified in 4.2.1.2. Clear-cut with a razor blade the edge of the lacquered face to be inspected. Mount the test piece with the clear-cut ed
26、ge facing the microscope. For each test piece, make at least two measurements to the accuracy allowed by the resolution of the optical instrument. Measurements of lacquer above open holes in the wood shall not be taken into account. 4.2.4 Expression of the results When required, average the measurem
27、ents made on each test piece. If there is more than one test piece, calculate to one significant figure the mean value and the coefficient of variation (expressed as a percentage) of the results. DIN EN 13696:2009-02 EN 13696:2008 (E) 6 5 Wear 5.1 Principle The resistance to wear is evaluated by abr
28、ading the face of representative test pieces or specimens with a specified abrasive applied by means of two loaded wheels. The number of rotations, necessary to reach a defined wear, is used to evaluate the resistance to wear. 5.2 Test pieces 5.2.1 Dimensions The test shall be carried out on a test
29、piece. The test piece shall have the shape of: either a square with a side of 120 mm, its corners being trimmed so as to have a diagonal length reduced to about 130 mm, or, a disc with a diameter of about 130 mm. Samples, from which it is intended to obtain a test piece, may be smaller than the abov
30、e dimensions. In that case, a test piece shall be produced by jointing two or more elements according to the manufacturers specifications. Bore a hole (6 0,5) mm diameter and axis normal to the surface at the centre of the test piece. 5.2.2 Sampling Three test pieces shall be cut. The clearance betw
31、een two test pieces shall be at least 100 mm. For elements which have to be jointed, the three test species shall be made out of elements picked out at random. NOTE This sampling gives an estimation of the property of the lot. 5.2.3 Conditioning The test pieces shall be conditioned to constant mass
32、in one of the climates defined in 4.1. Prior to testing, the lacquer shall be fully cured according to the manufacturers instructions. 5.3 Abrading system 5.3.1 Principle The system described in this Standard is a grit feeder system: a specified loose abrasive is fed continuously on to the face of t
33、he test piece, in the track of the loaded wheels. NOTE Other methods described in other standards could be possible. In this case, the results are expressed without making reference to this Standard. DIN EN 13696:2009-02 EN 13696:2008 (E) 7 5.3.2 Test equipment and materials 5.3.2.1 Abrading equipme
34、nt and materials 5.3.2.1.1 Abrader Supporting disc Supporting disc shall have a minimum diameter of 105 mm, rotating in the horizontal plane with a permitted deviation of 2 mm/m, at (60 2) r.p.m, the test piece being tightly held flat by means of a suitable clamping device. Abrading wheels Two cylin
35、drical wheels free to turn on their axis, balanced by lever and counterweight, with nominal diameter and width of respectively 44,4 mm and 12,7 mm. They are fitted with a leather strip having a width of (12,7 0,1) mm and a minimum thickness of 1,5 mm. The overall diameter of the wheels, when fitted
36、with leather strips, shall not be less than 47,4 mm. The distance between the internal faces of the wheels shall be (53 2) mm, their common axis being set by 20 mm nominally of the axis of the test piece revolving support. The axis of rotation of the test piece shall be equidistant from the two whee
37、ls. A device shall apply the abrading wheels on the test piece with a force of (10 0,1) N by each wheel. The device shall be able to maintain the 20 mm eccentricity for all possible thicknesses of test pieces. Revolution counter A revolution counter is needed to record the number of revolutions of t
38、he supporting disc.

39、e 1 Example of an abrader with grit feeder DIN EN 13696:2009-02 EN 13696:2008 (E) 9 Grit feeder Grit feeder shall have a capacity of about 200 g of grit. It shall be openable at the top and at the bottom. The bottom opening shall be (10 1) mm above the face of the test piece and have a length of (16
40、 1) mm. The length of the bottom opening shall be installed radially to the supporting disc. To make sure of a regular flow, a device shall be provided in the grit feeder to ensure a regular flow. A further device ensuring an immediate stop of the feeding is also required. Vacuum cleaning device A s
41、ingle nozzle (3 2) mm above the track to be worn, shall be installed in the axial vertical plane between the two wheels before the grit feeder (relative to the rotation direction) and shall provide a differential pressure of (2 0,5) kPa.

43、ent Weighing equipment For calibrating, the force applied by the abrading wheels on the test piece; and for calibrating the grit flow, a weighing equipment with an accuracy of 1 g is needed. It shall be accurate to 1 g. Leather strip The leather strip is to be fitted on the perimeter of the abrading
44、 wheels. Its hardness shall be suitable for the purpose. It is measured according to the procedure in EN ISO 868 with a Shore-Durometer of Type A with the following deviations: Shore-A hardness is measured at four points in the middle of the tire tread of abrading wheels (instead of the demands in 5
45、.1, 5.2 and 8.1); hardness of the leather is suitable if all the results are contained within the range A/1:85 A/1:95.
