22、 14617-11:2005 (E) 4 1 Scope The present document specifies a test method to determine the linear thermal expansion coefficient of agglomerated stones used for internal/external flooring or walling in building. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the appli
23、cation of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. Not applicable. 3 Principle The principle of the determination of the linear thermal expansion coefficient consists
24、 of measuring the variation in length of a sample of agglomerated stone during a temperature change. The temperature change is achieved by heating or cooling the sample through a programmed cycle. A suitable dilatometer measures the expansion or the shrinkage of the sample, relatively to the initial
25、 length. 4 Symbols and definitions = linear thermal expansion coefficient of the material (C -1 ) L o= length of the test sample at any initial temperature (mm) L = expansion or shrinkage of the sample during heating/cooling in a temperature range (mm) T = temperature range over which the change in
26、length of the sample is measured (C) 5 Apparatus 5.1 A dilatometer consisting of a frame holding the expansion sensor, the sample holder and the moving slide for the furnace shift. 5.2 A furnace, compatible with the moving slide of the dilatometer and governed by a personal computer, able to cover a
27、 temperature range between room temperature and at least +150 C. 5.3 A measuring system consisting of a sample holder and a push rod, used to transfer the length change of the material out of the heated zone to the connected measuring device. 5.4 A temperature sensor that measures the temperature di
28、rectly in contact with the sample. 5.5 A personal computer connected to the instrument for the data acquisition and elaboration. 5.6 A manual linear measuring device with an accuracy of 0,05 mm. 6 Dimensions of the specimens The shape and dimensions of the test specimen must be suitable for the dime
29、nsions of the dilatation sample holders. A length of the specimen not smaller than 10 mm is necessary to get sufficient representativeness for agglomerated stones with maximum grit size up to 6 mm. For samples of agglomerated stone materials with maximum grit size between 2 mm and 6 mm the measure h
30、as to be repeated on at least three different samples in EN 14617-11:2005 (E) 5 order to guarantee the reproducibility of the specimen for the full size mass. For samples of agglomerated stone materials with maximum grit size over 6 mm see Annex A (Theoretical determination). 7 Test procedure 7.1 De
31、finition of the temperature range The linear thermal expansion coefficient of a material is an average value and must be determined in a linear region. Agglomerated stones bound by resins and cement/resin mixture, due to the fact that most of the polymers used in the manufacture of agglomerated ston
32、es shows a glass transition temperature in the range of 55-75 C (information available from the suppliers), do not exhibit a linear thermal expansion behaviour in this glass transition range, the linear thermal expansion coefficient of such agglomerated stones shall be therefore evaluated in the tem
33、perature ranges respectively below and/or above this transition temperature. A practical linear thermal expansion coefficient of the material inside the whole tested temperature interval (20- 130) C can be considered as the average of the two values experimentally determined in the proper temperatur
34、e ranges. 7.2 Definition of the temperature change program The rate of the temperature increase or decrease does not affect the linear thermal expansion coefficient, within the limits usually supported by the manufacturer of the dilatometer. Normally the cooling rate can not be guaranteed by the ins
35、trument due to the different testing conditions. 7.3 Determination of the value The value of shall be determined during both the heating and cooling phases. If also after several cycles these values do not coincide (due to resin cross-linking after-effects), the two different values must be specifie
36、d in the test report with the information concerning the phase where they have been determined. 7.4 Preparation of the specimens Cut the specimen in the suitable length and assure that the bearing surfaces be perfectly planar, in case treating them with an abrasive paper. Make a measurement of the l
37、ength of the specimen by a manual linear measuring device with an accuracy of 0,05 mm. Put the sample in the holder and locate the temperature sensor in contact with the sample. 7.5 Setting of the instrument Follow the calibrating operation of the instrument (zero point) according to the procedure s
38、pecified by the instrument manufacturer. Move the furnace on the moving slide until the centre of the furnace corresponds to the position of the sample. 7.6 Heating program 7.6.1 Give the start up to the program previously prepared in the PC. When the heating program is concluded it is possible to r
39、emove the furnace from the sample in order to speed up the cooling phase. The recommended operative conditions are: 7.6.2 Heating phase from room temperature up to 130 C at 3 C/min. 7.6.3 Cooling phase from 130 C down to room temperature with a speed rate depending from the testing conditions. 7.6.4
40、 These operations must be repeated until the PC registration shows the starting lengths of the sample and the final length (at the same temperature) coincide. EN 14617-11:2005 (E) 6 7.7 Determination of The determination of shall be made when the sample final length is equal to the starting length:
41、the temperature range normally used for the determination of is 30 to 60 C. 8 Expression of the results The linear thermal expansion coefficient of a material is obtained by the following formula: = L /( L ox T) and is usually expressed in 10 -6 C -1to the first decimal. 9 Test report The test repor

47、n of A.1 Principle This test is a reference method to be used to calculate theoretically the linear thermal expansion coefficient of agglomerated stones containing big size grits ( 6 mm). A.2 Theoretical determination of When the size grits is 6 mm the small size of the sample for the experimental d
48、etermination of by common dilatometers cannot ensure the reproducibility of the test specimen respect to the whole agglomerated stone batch. In this case it is possible to calculate with a reliable accuracy the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the material through the following equation: = fx V f+ px V pwhere fand pare the expansion coefficients of the fillers and grits contained in the agglomerated stone material and of the
