EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 12085 testing. This European standard covers the specification and selection of measuring equipment and the procedure for determining the linear dimensions of test samples from thermal insulation products.
The linear dimensions of a test sample are measured using an apparatus that provides the required degree of accuracy. The measuring pressure of the dial gauge can be reduced by removing the spring. The dial indicator, or at least any other electrical or optical measuring device with the same accuracy, can be fixed to a device to adapt the test equipment to the size of the test sample.
The selection of measuring equipment shall conform to the required accuracy of the measured value as specified in the relevant test method standard or any other European Technical Specification. Where no such standard or specification exists, the accuracy required will be agreed upon between the parties, but will correspond to the dimensions to be measured.
The number of measuring points should depend on the size and shape of the test specimen, but should be at least two. In order to give a good average value, the locations should be separated as widely as possible. If the median of three readings at each location is taken, the average will be calculated from two or more median values.
The specific details and procedures outlined in EN 12085 ensure consistency and accuracy when testing thermal insulation products. This is important to ensure that results from different laboratories or testing facilities are comparable and reliable.
The linear dimensions of test specimens are important because they affect various factors related to the thermal performance of insulation products, such as heat flux, thermal resistance (R-value), and the overall energy efficiency of buildings.
