Adhesives - Wood adhesives - Determination of static load resistance with increasing temperature

This European Standard specifies a test method to determine the heat resistance of wood adhesives under static load and increasing temperature conditions. The test assesses the adhesive's ability to resist sustained or continuous loading at temperatures well above normal room temperature, or in conditions where service temperatures are variable or cyclic.
NOTE   The procedure described is based on a test developed in Switzerland, known as the HRT'92 test. It uses test pieces described in EN 302-1 and EN 205, a static loading device and a means for increasing test pieces temperature at a specific rate.

Klebstoffe - Holzklebstoffe - Bestimmung der Beständigkeit gegen statische Belastung in der Wärme

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Wärmebeständigkeit von Holzklebstoffen bei
statischer Belastung und ansteigender Temperatur fest. Die Prüfung dient zur Beurteilung der Belastbarkeit von
Holzklebstoffen bei einer ständigen Krafteinwirkung und Temperaturen weit über der üblichen Raumtemperatur
bzw. bei wechselnden Temperaturen oder einem zyklischen Temperaturverlauf während des Gebrauchs.
ANMERKUNG Das beschriebene Verfahren geht auf eine in der Schweiz entwickelte Prüfung zurück, die als Prüfung HRT92
bekannt ist. Es werden die in EN 302-1 und EN 205 beschriebenen Prüfkörper und Einrichtungen zur Aufbringung einer stati-
schen Last sowie zur Erhöhung der Temperatur der Prüfkörper mit einer bestimmten Geschwindigkeit verwendet.

Adhésifs - Adhésifs pour bois - Détermination de la résistance à la charge statique sous augmentation de température

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode d�essai qui permet de déterminer la résistance à la
chaleur des adhésifs pour bois soumis à une charge statique et à une augmentation de température. L'essai
évalue la capacité des adhésifs à résister à une charge permanente, à des températures largement
supérieures à la température de laboratoire normale ou dans des conditions selon lesquelles les températures
de service sont variables ou cycliques.
NOTE Le mode opératoire décrit est basé sur un essai développé en Suisse, connu sous le nom d�essai HRT�92. Il
utilise des éprouvettes conformes à la description fournie dans les normes EN 302-1 et EN 205, un dispositif de charge
statique et un moyen d'augmenter la température des éprouvettes à une vitesse spécifique.

Overview

EN 14292:2005 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies a precise test method for evaluating the static load resistance of wood adhesives when subjected to increasing temperatures. This testing protocol is critical for determining the heat resistance and mechanical durability of wood adhesives under sustained or continuous loads at elevated or variable service temperatures. Originating from the Swiss HRT’92 test method, EN 14292:2005 standardizes procedures to help manufacturers, engineers, and quality controllers assess the performance and reliability of wood adhesives in real-life thermal conditions.

Key Topics

  • Test Methodology
    The standard describes a method where a lap joint between two wooden adherents is subjected to a constant static load while the temperature is gradually raised at a controlled rate of 50 ± 2 °C/hour until rupture or failure occurs. This simulates conditions involving sustained mechanical stress combined with thermal exposure.

  • Sample Preparation
    Test specimens are engineered according to EN 302-1 or EN 205, with specific preparations including standardized lap joint dimensions and bonding procedures. Conditioning of bonded samples is mandated in controlled atmospheres, usually 20 ± 2°C/65 ± 5% RH or 23 ± 2°C/50 ± 5% RH, to ensure consistent moisture content and bonding behavior.

  • Test Apparatus
    Specialized equipment includes an oven with precise temperature regulation and airflow, a static load device applying a fixed force of approximately 214 ± 2 N, and time-monitoring instruments triggered by joint deformation or failure.

  • Measurement and Reporting
    The standard provides a detailed reporting framework covering adhesive type, batch, bonding process, wood species and moisture content, conditioning parameters, and precise temperature at failure. The test results include statistical data like mean failure temperature, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation.

  • Safety and Compliance
    Users are advised to implement proper laboratory practices and adhere to national and European safety regulations when conducting this thermal mechanical testing.

Applications

  • Adhesive Development and Quality Control
    Manufacturers of wood adhesives utilize EN 14292:2005 to benchmark and optimize formulations for enhanced heat resistance and long-term static load performance.

  • Structural Wood Products
    Assessment of adhesives used in load-bearing timber constructions where adhesives must withstand elevated temperatures during service, such as in exterior architectural elements or prefabricated wood assemblies exposed to fluctuating climate conditions.

  • Certification and Compliance Testing
    Testing to EN 14292:2005 ensures products meet regulatory and industry requirements regarding durability and safety under thermal stresses.

  • Research and Material Comparison
    Laboratories employ this standard to compare adhesives from different suppliers or testing new adhesive technologies under rigorous, standardized test conditions.

Related Standards

  • EN 302-1 – Adhesives for load-bearing timber structures; test methods for determining bond strength via tensile shear strength.
  • EN 205 – Wood adhesives for non-structural applications; determination of tensile shear strength of lap joints.
  • EN 923:1998 – Adhesives; general terms and definitions that apply across adhesive testing standards.

Summary

EN 14292:2005 is a crucial standard providing a reliable and repeatable method for assessing the thermal static load resistance of wood adhesives. By applying a controlled increasing temperature to bonded wood joints under consistent static load, this test method facilitates industry-wide quality assurance, product development improvements, and the safe use of adhesives in demanding environmental conditions. Adhering to EN 14292:2005 helps stakeholders guarantee adhesive performance stability beyond normal operating temperatures, ensuring durability and safety in wood adhesive applications.
