What is BS EN 17333‑5 about?
BS EN 17333 series discusses the characterization of one component foam, BS EN 17333-3 is one of the parts of a series of documents
specifies test methods for the evaluation of the insulation properties for moisture curing, self-curing activatable or water drying foams dispensed from single pressurized foam containers.
BS EN 17333-5 describes the following methods:
- Compression strength
- Movement capability
- Bonding strength
- Tensile strength
- Shear strength
Note: BS EN 17333‑5 does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.
Who is BS EN 17333‑5 for?
BS EN 17333‑5 on characterisation of one component foam is useful for:
- Fire-extinguishing
- Manufacturer of automobile
- Construction of the buildings
- Manufacturers of mattresses
- Manufacturers of furniture products
Why should you use BS EN 17333‑5?
One component foam is a self-adhesive, self-expanding, moisture-curing, gap filling material. Because of the increasing usage of one component foam in gap fills for doors, windows, roofs, and ceilings, it is now appropriate for construction projects.
BS EN 17333‑5 helps you in preparing the test piece by foaming it into a mould made of two plates and spacers of non-adherent material. The foam sample is removed by opening the two sides of the mould this is done after curing. BS EN 17333‑5 helps in cutting the samples into the desired dimensions which depends on the measuring devices.
BS EN 17333‑5 specifies the test methods, test equipment, and test procedures for performing the test which helps in evaluating the insulation properties of one component foam. This BS EN 17333‑5 helps you in determining the long term thermal conductivity of a cured one component foam (OCF) which dispense from a pressurised foam container. This thermal conductivity test is done as a sample subjected to an accelerated ageing procedure. And aids in the improvement of the efficiency and durability of one component foam.
