What is BS EN 12365-2 - Linear compression force of gasket and weatherstripping for building hardware about?
BS EN 12365-2 is the second part of the multiple series that specifies the method to be used to select, prepare conditions, and test samples of gaskets or weatherstripping, to determine the force required to compress or deflect them by a predetermined amount to their minimum working width, under the conditions laid down for the test.
Who is BS EN 12365-2 - Linear compression force of gasket and weatherstripping for building hardware for?
BS EN 12365-2 on linear compression force of gasket and weatherstripping for building hardware is useful for:
- Construction industries
- Civil engineers
- Manufacturers and suppliers of building hardware
- Testing laboratories of building hardware
- Designers
- Architects
- Contractors
- Builders
Why should you use BS EN 12365-2 - Linear compression force of gasket and weatherstripping for building hardware?
Weatherstripping is used to keep rain and water out completely or partially, and it does so by redirecting or returning water. Weatherstripping also has the secondary objective of keeping interior air in, which saves energy on heating and cooling.
BS EN 12365-2 specifies the working range of typical gaskets and weatherstripping for doors, windows, shutters, and curtain walling. This will help you to measure the deflection of the test piece to its minimum working width. BS EN 12365-2 specifies the force measuring gauge that will help you to determine the force required to compress the test piece to its minimum working width.
Overall, BS EN 12365-2 helps you to measure the amount of compression or deflection of gasket and weatherstripping for doors, windows, shutters, and curtain walling
