14、and the use of these results to estimate the density of whole boards. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Instrument for thickness measurement Micrometer or similar measuring instrument, having flat and parallel circular measuring surfaces of (16 I i) mm diameter and an operation force of (4 I 1) N.

16、 pieces 5.1 Sampling and cutting Sampling and cutting of the test pieces shall be carried out in accordance with EN 326-1. 5.2 Dimensions The test pieces shall be square in shape, with sides of a nominal length of 50 mm. In the case of extruded panels, cellular panels, or panels of similar structure
17、 with cavities parallel to the length or width of the test piece, the total length or width of the test piece shall be at least twice the length or width of any individual core element (i.e. two tube diameters plus two web thicknesses) and the test pieces shall have a symmetrical cross-sectional are
18、a as shown in figure I. 5.3 Conditioning If necessary, the test pieces shall be conditioned to constant mass in an atmosphere with a relative humidity of (65 f 5) % and a temperature of (20 f 2) OC. Constant mass is considered to be reached when the results of two successive weighing operations, car
19、ried out at an interval of 24 h, do not differ by more than 0,l % of the mass of the test piece. Figure 1.
