Building hardware - Gasket and weatherstripping for doors, windows, shutters and curtain walling - Part 2: Linear compression force test methods

This part 2 of prEN 33/WI 131/245 specifies the method to be used to select, condition and test samples of gasket or weatherstripping, to determine the force required to deflect them by a predetermined amount under the conditions layed down in the test. The test has been devised to cover all likely gasket and weatherstripping shapes or materials.

La présente partie de l'EN 12365 spécifie la méthode devant être utilisée pour sélectionner, préparer le conditionnement et soumettre aux essais des échantillons de profilés d'étanchéité de vitrage et entre ouvrant et dormant afin de déterminer la force nécessaire pour les comprimer et les déformer à leur épaisseur de travail minimale au moyen d'une valeur prédéterminée et ceci dans les conditions fixées pour l'essai.
Des exemples de détermination de la plage de travail de profilés d'étanchéité de vitrage et entre ouvrant et dormant types sont indiqués dans l'annexe A.

Overview

EN 12365-2:2003 - Building hardware: Gasket and weatherstripping for doors, windows, shutters and curtain walling - Part 2: Linear compression force test methods - is a CEN standard that specifies how to select, condition and test samples of gaskets and weatherstripping to determine the linear compression force required to deflect them to a defined minimum width. The method is designed to cover all typical gasket and weatherstripping shapes and materials used in building hardware.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and purpose: Defines the procedure to measure force per metre required to compress or deflect sealing profiles through their working range.
  • Working range classification: Nine working-range grades are identified (examples: grade 2 > 1 mm up to grade 9 > 30 mm) to characterise allowable deflection.
  • Compression-force classification: Nine grades for linear compression force (examples: grade 2 > 10 N/m, grade 5 > 100 N/m, grade 9 > 1 000 N/m).
  • Specimen preparation and conditioning:
    • Test pieces length: 100 mm to 500 mm.
    • Condition in relaxed state at 23 °C ±2 °C and 45 %–55 % RH for not less than 24 h and not more than 6 days.
    • Time between forming and testing should preferably not exceed 3 months.
  • Test apparatus and measurement:
    • Displacement dial gauge for deflection; force gauge for load.
    • Typical apparatus illustrated in Annex B (support block, anvil, moving carrier).
  • Test procedure and tolerances:
    • Laboratory temperature: 23 °C or 25 °C (humidity 45 % at 23 °C or 55 % at 25 °C).
    • Compression speed: not exceeding 10 mm/min ± 1 mm/min.
    • Record force after maintaining compression for 30 s ± 5 s.
    • Measurement tolerances: compression ± 0.05 mm; force accuracy better than 1 %; length ± 0.1 mm; temperature ± 1 °C; RH ± 5 %.
    • Repeat on three specimens and report the average in N/m to one decimal place.
  • Test report: Must identify specimen, test house, test method, product designation, results, observations, date and signature.

Practical applications

  • Quality control and product development for gaskets, seals and weatherstripping used in doors, windows, shutters and curtain walling.
  • Performance specification and verification for architects, façade engineers and specifiers requiring defined compression behaviour.
  • Type testing for manufacturers to classify products by working range and linear compression force.
  • Independent test laboratories and certification bodies assessing compliance with EN 12365 series.

Who uses this standard

  • Seal and gasket manufacturers
  • Window, door and curtain-wall system suppliers
  • Façade consultants and building envelope engineers
  • Testing and certification laboratories
  • Product specifiers and procurement teams
