18、gdom. BS EN 1534:2010EN 1534:2010 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method, derived from the test, for determining the resistance to indentation of wood flooring. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For date
19、d references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 13756:2002, Wood flooring Terminology 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 13756:2002
20、 and the following apply. 3.1 element smallest individual part (e.g. a finger, a strip) of wood flooring 3.2 lot quantity of wood flooring with the same claimed set of features, within a consignment or in a storage facility 3.3 lay-up description of the assembly of an element 3.4 indentation concave
21、 deformation of the surface of a test specimen from the action of an indenter 3.5 indentation under action momentarily indentation when the indenter is applied 3.6 residual indentation indentation after the time of recovery NOTE The time of recovery is specified in 7.3. 3.7 test specimen elements or
22、 square test piece cut from an element 3.8 component piece of wood flooring with a face consisting of originate solid timber 3.9 Hardness HB Brinell hardness in newtons per square millimetre BS EN 1534:2010EN 1534:2010 (E) 5 4 Principle The resistance to indentation is determined by applying a loade
23、d indenter to the face of the test specimen. The diameter of the residual indentation is used to evaluate the resistance to indentation of the test specimen. After the loading the unloaded specimen is left to recover. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Indenter, i.e. a hardened steel spherical body with contact radius
24、 of (10 0,01) mm. 5.2 Measurement rig, i.e. a device capable of measuring the diameter of the residual indentation on the face of the test specimen to an accuracy of 0,1 mm. 5.3 Loading head, i.e. a device with a load cell accurate to 2 % of the maximum applied loads, moving perpendicular to a flat
25、rigid table. The load and the rate of head movement of the loading head shall be adjustable within specified limits. 6 Test specimens 6.1 Dimensions The test shall be carried out on test specimens that may be elements or may be square test pieces, cut from elements that preferably have sides approxi
26、mately 50 mm long. 6.2 Sampling 6.2.1 Within a test specimen Indentations shall be carried out either in the central area of test pieces or distributed all over the area of the face of the element. If, in an element, the length of a piece of originate solid timber exceeds 200 mm, up to two indentati
27、ons can be carried out on that piece of timber. If not, only one indentation can be carried out. The distance from the centre of the indentation to any edge of a test piece or an element or to a knot shall not be less than 20 mm. However, if the width of the test specimen is less than 40 mm, the ind
28、entation shall be placed along its longitudinal axis. If an element consists of a number of components, each component can be indented. Within the above defined limits, the indentation points shall be distributed at random. 6.2.2 Within a lot The number of test specimen to be sampled is related to t
29、he number of indentations carried out on each test specimen. It shall be such that the total number of indentations is at least 50. Test specimens shall be selected at random from the lot. 6.3 Conditioning The test shall be carried out on test specimens conditioned in accordance with the manufacture
30、rs instructions. BS EN 1534:2010EN 1534:2010 (E) 6 6.4 Possible preparation prior to testing If the test specimens are fitted with a soft or brittle material on the back, this shall be removed to prevent any displacement during the test. 7 Test method 7.1 Accuracy All the measurements shall be made
31、to the limits of accuracy specified for the instruments as defined in Clause 5. 7.2 Application of load The test specimen shall be free of any material that may interfere with the results. Set the test specimen on the table of the loading head. Lower the indenter to the surface of the test specimen.
32、 Apply a force increasing at such rate that the nominal value of 1 kN is reached after (15 3) s. Maintain the force at this value for (25 5) s. Withdraw the indenter completely. Throughout the test, the machinery shall be vibration and shock free, to ensure that the sample is rigidly held. 7.3 Measu
33、rement of residual indentation After withdrawal of the indenter, wait (let recover) for at least 3 min. Measure with the measurement rig two diameters of the residual indentation at right angles to each other: one along the grain d1, another across the grain d2, with an accuracy of 0, 2 mm. Contrast
34、 on the edge of the indentation can be improved with appropriate lighting and/or application of graphite lead. 8 Expression of results 8.1 Hardness for each indentation The hardness Brinell HB is calculated to two significant digits, according to the following formula: .2dDDDgFHB=(1) where HB is the
35、 Brinell hardness in newton per square millimetre; g is the acceleration of gravity, in metres per second squared; is the “pi“ factor (3,14); F is the maximum load applied force, in newtons; D is the diameter of the ball, in millimetres, d is the diameter of the residual indentation, in millimetres
36、(average of d1and d2). BS EN 1534:2010EN 1534:2010 (E) 7 NOTE To express HB in kilogram force per square millimetre divide the value by g. The diameter of the residual indentation d is calculated from the measurements taken in accordance with 7.3, using the formula: 221 ddd+= (2) 8.2 Hardness for a
37、lot 8.2.1 General A normal distribution is assumed. The mean value, the standard deviation and the characteristics value of the hardness Brinell shall be calculated. 8.2.2 Mean value nPmni1= (3) where m is the mean value of the performance of the sample; Piis the performance of “ith“ point of indent
38、ation in the sample; n is the number of indentations carried out in the sample. 8.2.3 Standard deviation 1)(12=nmPiSn(4) where S is the standard deviation. Piis the performance of “ith“ point of indentation in the sample. All the other parameters are defined in 8.2.2. 8.2.4 Characteristic value A ch
39、aracteristic value is defined as the fifth percentile of the assumed normal distribution. A characteristic value is given by the following formula: Xk = m (t05 x s) (5) where Xk is the characteristic value; BS EN 1534:2010EN 1534:2010 (E) 8 t05 is the Student coefficient for a one sided 5 % probabil
40、ity. Table 1 gives the Student coefficient for a range of values of n. All other parameters are defined in 8.2.2 and 8.2.3.
