Overview
EN 16382:2016 (CEN) specifies equipment, specimen preparation and test procedures to determine the pull-through resistance of plate anchors through thermal insulation products used in buildings. The method measures the tensile load required to pull a plate-type anchor (e.g., ETICS/insulation anchors) through an insulation board by applying a direct tensile load perpendicular to the insulation face until failure.
Keywords: EN 16382:2016, pull-through resistance, plate anchors, thermal insulation, tensile test, ETICS
Key topics and technical requirements
- Test principle: A rigid circular tension plate glued to the insulation transmits a tensile load to the anchor until failure (breaking cone or other failure modes).
- Apparatus:
- Square rigid templates with a centred circular recess (template side b ≥ ds + 50 mm; materials: laminated wood ≥ 20 mm or steel ≥ 7 mm).
- Tension plate diameter dz = ds − 10 mm; connected to the machine via a self‑alignment device.
- Clamps to fix specimen edges; at least two per edge.
- Suitable glue (solvent‑free epoxy or polyurethane) that does not alter insulation mechanical properties.
- Tensile testing machine capable of continuous load/displacement recording, force error ≤ 1 % and crosshead speed (20 ± 1) mm/min.
- Specimen preparation and conditioning:
- Specimens sized to template; arrangements defined for middle area, joint, edge/corner positions.
- Condition at (23 ± 3) °C and (50 ± 10) % RH for at least 24 h before testing.
- Minimum 5 valid test specimens per series for statistical evaluation.
- Geometrical relations:
- Minimum circular recess diameter ds ≥ dp + 2 × tI + 50 (dp = anchor plate diameter; tI = insulation thickness).
- Evaluation:
- Record force–displacement and maximum tensile force Fmax.
- Calculate mean failure load and the F5% pull‑through resistance (5th percentile) using statistical methods (EN 1990 & ISO 12491). Example: for n = 5, statistical coefficient ks = 2.46.
- Rejection criteria: reject tests if failure occurs at glue interface, in the substrate/fixation, outside the insulation, or if cone mode distance < 25 mm to template edge.
Applications and users
- Practical use:
- Assess mechanical performance of insulation anchors in ETICS and other insulated façades.
- Support product development, quality control, CE marking, and specification of anchor systems.
- Typical users:
- Insulation manufacturers and R&D labs
- Anchor/hardware manufacturers
- Independent testing laboratories and notified bodies
- Façade/ETICS designers, specifiers, and building control authorities
