This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdr
13、awn at the latest by September 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.

14、n of this standard contains no major changes, only minor corrections and clarifications of an editorial nature. This European Standard is one of a series of standards with specify test methods for determining dimensions and properties of thermal insulating materials and products. It supports a serie
15、s of products standards for thermal insulating materials and products which derive from the Council Directive of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (Directive 89/106/EEC) through the consider
16、ation of the essential requirements. This European Standard has been drafted for applications in buildings but it may also be used in other areas where it is relevant. This European test standard is one of the following group of inter-related standards on test methods for determining dimensions and

BS EN 824:2013EN 824:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard
29、 specifies the equipment and procedure for determining the deviation from squareness for length, width and/or thickness of full-size products. It is applicable to thermal insulating products. The method is normally applicable to products with straight edges. For products of other shape, e.g. profile
30、d edges, the method can be adapted accordingly. 2 Normative references This European Standard contains no normative references. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following term and definition applies. 3.1 deviation from squareness distance from one limb of a perfect squa
31、re to the edge of the product at a given distance from a corner Note 1 to entry: See Figures 1 to 3. 4 Principle Apply a metal square to the product edges and measure the deviation between one limb of the metal square and the products edge (see Figure 1). 5 Apparatus 5.1 Flat surface. 5.2 Metal rule
32、 or metal tape, graduated in millimetres and permitting reading to 0,5 mm; 5.3 Metal square, with limbs at least 500 mm long with a deviation from squareness of not more than 0,1 mm when measured at 500 mm from the corner. Any test equipment which provides the same result with at least the same accu
33、racy may be used. 6 Test specimens 6.1 Dimensions of test specimens The test specimens shall be the full-size product. 6.2 Number of test specimens The number of test specimens shall be as specified in the relevant product standard. In the absence of a product standard, the number of test specimens
34、may be agreed between parties. 6.3 Conditioning of test specimens The test specimens should be stored for a least 6 h at (23 5) C. In case of dispute they shall be stored at (23 2) C and (50 5) % relative humidity for the time specified in the relevant product standard. BS EN 824:2013EN 824:2013 (E)

In case of dispute it shall be carried out at (23 2) C and (50 5) % relative humidity. 7.1.2 Test procedure Lay the test specimen on a flat surface and m
36、easure the deviation from squareness of length and width as follows: a) place the metal square along one of the sides of the test specimen with the right angle of the square aligned against the adjoining edge as in Figure 2; b) measure the distance abbetween the edge of the test specimen and the edg
37、e of the metal square, at a distance c from the corner, to the nearest 0,5 mm, where: 1) for the test specimens with a side of less than 500 mm, c is the maximum width or length of the specimen; 2) for the test specimen with a side equal to or greater than 500 mm, c is the length of the inner side o
38、f the square (see Figure 2); c) repeat for all corner of the test specimen having angles smaller than or equal to 90; d) if there is any significant deviation from linearity of the edges in the length or the width, this shall be reported as the maximum deviation from linearity amax. expressed in mil

In case of dispute it shall be carried out at (23 2) C and (50 5) % relative humidity. 7.2.2 Test procedure Lay the test specimen on a flat surface and
40、 measure the deviation from squareness of the thickness as follows: a) place the metal square on the flat surface against one edge of the test specimen as in Figure 3; b) measure the distance adto the nearest 0,5 mm between the edge of the test specimen and the edge of the square at the point of the
41、 greatest deviation along the side; c) repeat for all sides; d) turn the test specimen over and repeat items a) to c); e) report the largest figure as the deviation from squareness of the thickness edge.
