BS EN 1533:2010EN 1533:2010 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies methods of determining the bending strength of wood flooring under static load: a method with a static line load and a method wit
20、h a static point load. The methods apply to wood flooring installed on a non-continuous support and thus assuming static load-bearing conditions. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

25、ents jointed according to a defined type or in special applications to the manufacturers instructions. 4.2 Static line load The bending strength is determined by applying a static line load across the mid span of some test assemblies. 4.3 Static point load The bending strength is determined by the a
26、pplication of a static point load across the mid span of some test assemblies. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Measuring instrument for dimensions and deflection For the length of wood flooring elements and for the span, use a measuring instrument with a minimum accuracy of 1 mm. For the width and thickness of wood
27、 flooring elements and battens or joists, use a measuring instrument with a minimum accuracy of 0,5 mm. 5.2 Loading equipment 5.2.1 Accuracy It shall be able to measure the load to an accuracy of 1 %. 5.2.2 Static line load The load shall be applied by a steel loading head, with a contact surface ro
28、unded to a radius of (15 0,05) mm, whose length l exceeds the width of the test assembly (see Figure 1a). Its axis shall be parallel to the surface of the test assembly and perpendicular to the length of the elements making it up. 5.2.3 Static load The load shall be applied by a steel loading head w
29、ith a squared contact face of (50 x 50) mm; the edge of the contact surface shall be rounded or bevelled. Its axis shall be perpendicular to the face of the test assembly. (see Figure 1b). NOTE The loading head described above is according to EN 1991-1-1 where it is defined. BS EN 1533:2010EN 1533:2

The support is stiff enou
31、gh if, under the load applied in the test, its deflection is less than 0,1 mm in the direction of the applied force. The clearance between the back of the test assembly and the support shall be consistent with the deflection under failure load. The thickness of the battens or joists shall be suitabl
32、e for that purpose. The length of the table shall be consistent with the length of the test assembly (about 1,50 m). The end-supports can be independent of the two supports of the central span, but they shall not move relative to the central supports. The load can be applied by movement of either th
33、e loading head or of the supporting table.

35、re elements can be added. The elements shall be fixed on the battens by nailing or according to the manufacturers instructions. The battens shall be made of timber with a density of at least 400 kg/m3. Their width shall be (45 1) mm, their depth shall be at least 45 mm and, if necessary, adjusted to
36、 the stroke of the loading head between the contact point on the test specimen and the failure point. NOTE When required as supports for a defined end-use, joists, instead of battens, can be used to make up the assembly. 6.1.2 Wood flooring of which the ends of the elements are supported by the batt
37、ens A set of four elements shall be assembled as defined bellow: One element on each side of two end-jointed elements, the end joint shall be roughly in line with the middle of one of the central batten. 6.1.3 Wood flooring of which the ends of the elements are not supported by the battens One eleme
38、nt on each side of the two end-jointed elements, the end joint shall be roughly distant of 3 cm from the middle of the span of the two central battens. NOTE The manufacturers instructions can specify the span and the type of fixing. 6.2 Sampling The samples, taken at random, shall be defined for a g
39、iven type of wood flooring as they are defined in the corresponding product standard. The samples can be coated or not. The number of elements necessary to make at least six assemblies shall be sampled to determine the bending strength. 6.3 Conditioning The test specimen shall be conditioned either
40、in: - climate A, defined by a relative humidity of (65 5) % and a temperature of (20 2)C, or - climate B, defined by a relative humidity of (50 5) % and a temperature of (23 2)C. 7 Procedure 7.1 General Measure the width and thickness of the elements with the apparatus as defined in 5.1.

42、hat of the supports with the centre point under the load. The battens shall be properly clamped in a fixed position relative to the support. 7.2.2 Static line load Adjust the loading head relative to the battens in the middle of the central span to 1 mm along the loading line (see Figure 1a). 7.2.3
43、Static point load The axis of the loading head shall be adjusted within 1 mm to the mid span and shall be adjusted within 1 mm to the mid width of the element to be loaded (see Figure 3). 7.3 Determination of the maximum load for the test assembly To determine the maximum load for the test assembly,
44、 apply a load, increasing at a rate to give a uniform movement of the loading head, until failure of the test assembly occurs. The rate shall also be such that failure occurs in (300 120) s. Record the maximum load Fmaxin newton to an accuracy of 1 % and the mode of failure of the test assembly. 8 E
