DIN 52364 Testing Wood Chipboard - Determining Moisture-Related Thickness Variation

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of DIN 52364 testing. DIN 52364 is a standard that specifies a method for determining the change in thickness of wood chipboards due to humidity. This method is used to evaluate the dimensional stability of wood chipboards when subjected to changes in moisture content.

The test involves conditioning wood chipboard samples at a specific temperature and relative humidity for a specified period of time to achieve a constant mass. The samples are then measured for thickness at various points using a micrometer or other suitable measuring device. The moisture content of the samples is then increased by exposing them to a higher relative humidity environment for a certain period of time. After exposure to moisture, the samples are measured again for thickness at the same points.

The difference in thickness before and after exposure to moisture is calculated as a percentage of the initial thickness. This value represents the change in thickness depending on humidity. The test is repeated many times with different samples to obtain an average value.

The results from this test can be used to determine the suitability of wood chipboards for specific applications and to compare the performance of different wood chipboard types.
