(Main)Thermal insulating products for building applications - Determination of compression behaviour
Thermal insulating products for building applications - Determination of compression behaviour
This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining compression behaviour of test specimens. It is applicable to thermal insulating products. It can be used to determine the compressive stress in compressive creep tests and for applications in which insulation products are only exposed to short term loads.
Wärmedämmstoffe für das Bauwesen - Bestimmung des Verhaltens bei Druckbeanspruchung
Diese Norm legt Prüfeinrichtungen und Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Verhaltens von Probekörpern bei Druckbeanspruchung fest. Sie gilt für Wärmedämmstoffe. Die Norm kann verwendet werden, um Druckspannungen für Langzeit-Kriechversuche festzulegen und für Anwendungen, in welchen die Dämmstoffe nur kurzzeitig belastet werden.
Produits isolants thermiques destinés aux applications du bâtiment - Détermination du comportement en compression
Cette norme européenne prescrit l'équipement et les procédures nécessaires à utiliser pour déterminer le comportement en compression d'éprouvettes. Elle s'applique aux produits isolants thermiques. Elle peut être utilisée pour déterminer la contrainte de compression de l'essai de fluage en compression et pour des applications dans lesquelles les produits isolants ne sont soumis qu'à des charges de courte durée.
