BS EN 14617-2:2016EN 14617-2:2016 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of flexural strength under a concentrated load (breaking resistance) of agglomerated stone flat products. 2 Normative references The following docu
21、ments, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 12372, Natural stone t
22、est methods Determination of flexural strength under concentrated load 3 Principle The principle of this method is to place a specimen on two rollers and progressively load the specimen in the middle. The breaking load is measured and the flexural strength calculated. 4 Symbols For the purposes of t
23、his document, the following symbols apply. Rtfflexural strength, (MPa) F breaking load, (Newtons) l distance between the supporting rollers, in millimetres b width of the specimen adjacent to the plane of fracture, in millimetres h thickness of the specimen adjacent to the plane of fracture, in mill
24、imetres L total length of the specimen, in millimetres 5 Apparatus 5.1 Balance capable of weighing the specimen with a precision within 0,01 % of the mass of the specimen. 5.2 Ventilated oven capable of maintaining (40 5) C. 5.3 Linear measuring device with an accuracy of 0,05 mm. 5.4 Testing machin
25、e of appropriate force, in accordance with EN 12372 and calibrated according to this standard. 5.5 Device for applying loads on the specimen by a centre-point load. It consists of two lower rollers (supporting rollers) and one upper roller (load-applying roller) which shall be centred exactly in the
26、 middle between the two supporting rollers (see Figure 1). The distance between the two supporting rollers shall be reported as requested in 7.

At least ten specimens shall be selected from a homogeneous batch (see also 6.2.3). 6.2 Test speci
28、mens 6.2.1 Surface finish As a standard reference, the surface finish of the faces of the specimens shall be sawn, honed or polished. In case of necessity to test specimens with other surface finishes (e.g. flamed, sandblasted etc.) as required for application, this may be done. The surface intended
29、 for use shall be in contact with the two supporting rollers (facing downwards), when the backside face is not perfectly planar. In all other cases the surface intended for use shall be in contact with the upper roller. In any case the kind of surface finish shall be stated in the report. BS EN 1461
30、7-2:2016EN 14617-2:2016 (E) 6 6.2.2 Dimensions of the specimens for type testing and for factory production control For type testing and for factory production control: the thickness h shall be the one forecast for the final product; the total length L shall be at least (200 0,3) mm; the width b sha
31、ll be at least (50 0,3) mm and in no case it shall be less than the thickness. 6.2.3 Conditioning before testing The specimens shall be conditioned at room temperature (20 5) C for (24 2) h. For agglomerated stones with cement or cement and polymer as binder the specimens shall be dried at (40 5) C
32、to a constant mass. Constant mass is reached when the difference between two weighings carried out (24 2) h apart is no greater than 0,1 % of the first of the two masses. After drying and prior to testing the specimens shall be stored at (20 5) C until the thermal equilibrium is reached. After that
33、the test shall be performed within 24 h. 7 Test procedure Wipe the surface of the rollers clean and remove any loose grits from the faces of the specimen that will be in contact with the rollers. The width and the thickness of the specimen are measured and the dimensions are expressed in millimetres
34、 to the nearest 0,1 mm. The specimen is placed centrally on the supporting rollers (see Figure 1). The loading roller is placed in the middle of the specimen. The load is increased uniformly at a rate of (0,25 0,05) MPa/s until the specimen breaks. Note the breaking load at least to the nearest 10 N
35、 and also the place where the fracture occurs. Where the loading rate (V) is needed in N/s the following formula can be used to determine the required rate in N/s: ( )sNlhbaV 322= (1) where a is the rate, in MPa/s; h is the thickness forecast for the final product; L is the total length, at least (2
36、00 0,3) mm; l is the distance between the supporting rollers, which is always (20 1) mm shorter than the total length L; b is the width, at least (50 0,3) mm and in no case it is less than the thickness. 8 Expression of the results The flexural strength Rtfof each specimen is calculated using the fo
37、rmula: 232tfFIRbh= (2) BS EN 14617-2:2016EN 14617-2:2016 (E) 7 The result shall be expressed in Megapascals to the nearest 0,1 MPa. If the fracture is situated more than 15 % of the distance between the supporting rollers from the middle of the specimen and/or flaws are present (veins, fissures, etc
38、.) the test shall be repeated. 9 Test report The test report shall contain the following information: a) unique identification number of the report; b) number, title and date of issue of this European Standard; c) name and address of the test laboratory and the address where the test was carried out
39、 if different from the test laboratory; d) commercial name of the product; e) surface finish of the specimens (if relevant to the test); f) date of delivery of the sample or of the specimens; g) date when the specimens were prepared (if relevant) and the date of testing; h) number of specimens in th
40、e sample; i) dimensions of the specimens; j) the result expressed as the mean value tfR of the flexural strength and the standard deviations, in Megapascal to the nearest 0,1 MPa; k) all deviations from the standard and their justification; l) remarks. The test report shall contain the signature(s)
41、and the role(s) of the responsible(s) for the testing and the date of issue of the report. It shall also state that the report shall not be partially reproduced without written consent of the test laboratory.

44、A.3 Statistical evaluation of test results From the calculation of the mean value ( )x , the standard deviation (s) and the coefficient of variation (v) a normal distribution is assumed. For the calculation of the lower expected value (E) a logarithmic normal distribution is assumed. The lower expec
