What is BS EN 14241-1 - Elastomeric seals in flue liners about?
The objective of BS EN 14241-1 is to evaluate the material behaviour of prefabricated elastomeric seals for application in flue liners. These seals are components in flue liners of different materials such as metal, plastic, clay, aconcrete.
BS EN 14241-1 specifies the material requirements and test methods for prefabricated elastomeric seals for use in flue liners. BS EN 14241-1 also specifies the requirements for evaluation of conformity.
BS EN 14241-1 applicable for sealants. The specimens are made from the sealants, which have been brought into a practical form, cured under manufacturers' instructions. The cured sealants will fulfil the same requirements as seals.
Note: BS EN 14241-1 does not contain all the requirements necessary for chimneys with the following classification such as corrosion resistance class 2 concerning natural wood and corrosion resistance class 3.
Who is BS EN 14241-1 - Elastomeric seals in flue liners for?
BS EN 14241-1 on elastomeric seals in flue liners is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of elastomeric seals
- Aerospace industry
- Automotive fuel industry
- The rubber industry
- Mechanical engineers
- Design engineers
- Industries where elastomeric seals are used
- Research and development team
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 14241-1 - Elastomeric seals in flue liners?
The material should be resistant against the mechanical, chemical and thermal attacks including the location influences. BS EN 14241-1 provides you with guidance on elastomeric seal materials which helps to improve the overall sealing effect in many systems. BS EN 14241-1 guides you with test methods such as cyclic condensate resistance test, compression set, and tensile strength.
BS EN 14241-1 covers seals intended for use in both dry and wet conditions. Therefore, all seals are tested for functioning under wet conditions. BS EN 14241-1 helps users to get acknowledged with the classification and designation of elastomeric seals. Overall, BS EN 14241-1 guidelines help you to evaluate the material behaviour of prefabricated elastomeric seals for application in flue liners.
What’s changed since the last update?
