EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 12089 testing. This European standard specifies equipment and procedures for determining the bending behavior of full-size products (Method A) and test specimens (Method B) under the influence of three-point loading. Applicable to thermal insulation products.
The test is designed to determine the bending strength and deflection of products at a given load. The method can be used to determine the resistance of the product to bending stresses during transportation and application.
The test method consists of applying a force at a given velocity through a loading edge in the axial direction to the faces of a square-cut rectangular test specimen placed on two support edges. The force is applied to the test specimen in a position midway between the support positions.
The test specimen loading edge shall have the same shape and dimensions as the support edges. The loading edge must be located centrally between and parallel to the support edges.
Steel load distribution plates with a thickness of at least 1 mm will be used for products that may be subject to crushing from the loading and support edges. The width of the distribution plates should be (30 ± 1) mm and their length should be at least equal to the width of the test sample.
The number of test samples shall be as specified in the relevant product standard or any other European technical specification. In the absence of such a specification, at least three test specimens shall be used. In the absence of a product standard or any other European technical specification, the number of test samples may be agreed upon between the parties.
