20、hods 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 Procedure The manufacturer shall specify either of the condition
21、ing 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. BS EN 13696:2008EN 13696:2008 (E) 5 4.2 Measurement of the thickness of the lacquer 4.2.1 Equipment 4.2.1.1 Optical instrument An i
22、nstrument 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 Sampling Choose the location from which the test pieces are tak
23、en, 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 in elasticity. The number of test pieces is specified in 5.3.3.4
24、.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 edge facing the microscope. For each test piece, make at least tw
25、o 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 measurements made on each test piece. If there is more than one test pi
26、ece, calculate to one significant figure the mean value and the coefficient of variation (expressed as a percentage) of the results. BS EN 13696:2008EN 13696:2008 (E) 6 5 Wear 5.1 Principle The resistance to wear is evaluated by abrading the face of representative test pieces or specimens with a spe
27、cified 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 piece. The test piece shall have the shape of: either a square with
28、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 above dimensions. In that case, a test piece shall be produced by jointi
29、ng 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 between two test pieces shall be at least 100 mm. For elements which hav
30、e 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 in one of the climates defined in 4.1. Prior to testing, the lacquer
31、 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 the test piece, in the track of the loaded wheels. NOTE Other methods
32、 described in other standards could be possible. In this case, the results are expressed without making reference to this Standard.

33、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 cylindrical wheels free to turn on their axis, balanced by lever and counterwe
34、ight, 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 with leather strips, shall not be less than 47,4 mm. The distance between
35、 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 wheels. A device shall apply the abrading wheels on the test piece with a for
36、ce 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 the supporting disc. BS EN 13696:2008EN 13696:2008 (E) 8 Dimensions in mm

38、 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 1) mm. The length of the bottom opening shall be installed radially to the support
39、ing 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 single nozzle (3 2) mm above the track to be worn, shall be installed in the axial v
40、ertical 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.

Equivalent products may be used if they can be show to lead to the same results. 5.3.2.1.2 Additional material or equipment Weighing equipment For calibrating, the force applied by the abrading wheels on
42、 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 wheels. Its hardness shall be suitable for the purpose. It is measured according t
43、o 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 5.1, 5.2 and 8.1); hardness of the leather is suitable if all the results are contai
44、ned within the range A/1:85 A/1:95. Abrading plate (to calibrate the leather) A plate fitted with a grinding paper with a grain of 240 and a plate fitted with a grinding paper with a grain of 150 according to ISO 6344-1 (about 0,06 mm). Abrading material Pure Carborundum grit (di-aluminium tri-oxide
45、) falling through a 240 meshes per inch sieve and retained on a 280 meshes per inch sieve (grade 240). NOTE These sieves permit grit of 50 m to 63 m to fall through. Stopwatch A stopwatch accurate to 0,1 s. A tank to recover the grit A tank of known mass to recover the grit when calibrating the grit
