11、07-1999 Foreword This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Plastics Standards Committee. Part1 of BS3757 was first published in1964 and Part2 in1965. In this revision the previous Parts1 and2 of the standard have been combined. Preferred thicknesses of sheet are given and SI

12、 units have been used. In this revision two of the types of sheet, types A2 and C2, previously included, have been deleted. This is because it is considered that it is not possible to lay down a single requirement relevant to all chemical contact application. For applications involving contact with

13、chemicals refer to the note to Table 1. This standard includes tests that provide the basic data for the control of quality of rigid PVC sheet. Such data are not, however, necessarily suitable for design purposes. The methods of test used in this standard are, as far as possible, those described in

14、BS2782. The method of manufacture has an effect on certain properties, the most important being dimensional stability of the material at high temperatures (see Table 3, note3). During 1973-4 several discussions took place in the Executive Board of BSI as a result of concern about potential fire haza

15、rds involved in the rapidly increasing use of many polymeric materials, especially for furnishing and construction purposes. Issues of great public importance were involved, relating in particular to the use of laboratory fire tests to define quality requirements, in view of the general lack of corr

16、elation between the results obtained in such small scale tests and the fire performance of materials and products in actual conditions of use. The Executive Board decided that a detailed review of all the issues involved should be carried out as a matter of urgency, and that this should be comprehen

17、sive in scope rather than limited to polymeric materials. For this purpose an authoritative co-ordinating committee on fire tests was established. In the meantime certain general principles were laid down regarding the terminology and approach to be adopted in immediate revisions and amendments of t

18、he British Standards involving small scale fire tests. This British Standard has been drawn up to comply with these principles. Changes may be made at a later date as a result of the general review undertaken by the co-ordinating committee mentioned above. Certification. Attention is drawn to the ce

19、rtification facilities described on the inside back cover of this standard. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confe

20、r immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pagesiandii, pages1to6, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the

21、 amendment table on the inside front cover.BS3757:1978 BSI 07-1999 1 1 Scope This British Standard specifies requirements for rigid PVC sheet of nominal thickness0.25mm and above. Rigid PVC sheet is classified into six types as shown in Table 1, and is available in a wide range of colours. Types A a

22、nd B are manufactured by press lamination or press surfacing and types C and D by calendering or extrusion. Table 1 Type descriptions 2 References The title of the publication referred to in this standard is given on the inside back cover. 3 Definition 3.1 for the purposes of this British Standard t

23、he following definition applies rigid PVC sheet Rigid thermoplastic sheet consisting of polyvinyl chloride and/or copolymers of vinyl chloride of which the major constituent is vinyl chloride, suitably compounded with other ingredients 4 General requirements 4.1 Appearance. Unless otherwise agreed,

24、the sheet shall be uniform in colour, transparency or opacity and finish, and shall be reasonably free from detrimental scratches, dents, pimples and inclusions. Embossed sheet shall have the pattern uniformly applied. 4.2 Thickness. The preferred nominal thicknesses of sheet are given in Table 2. T

25、he thickness of a sheet at any point shall not differ from the nominal thickness by more than the tolerance given in Table 2. The thickness of plain sheet shall be determined by micrometer as described in method512B of BS2782:1970 and the thickness of embossed sheet shall be measured gravimetrically

26、 generally in accordance with method512A of BS2782:1970. For a particular embossed surface and where the relationship between gravimetric and micrometer thickness is known, the thickness may be measured non-destructively by micrometer but method512A of BS2782:1970 shall be used in case of dispute. T

27、able 2 Sheet thickness (in millimetres) Type Description (see note) A1 C1 General purpose sheet suitable for most applications and fabricating techniques. A3 C3 Sheet similar to types A1 and C1 but with specific impact strength. The chemical resistance of these types may be inferior to that of types

28、 A1 and C1. B D Sheet particularly suitable for deep vacuum forming. These types are generally characterized by a lower softening point and the maximum service temperature of articles made from them may consequently be reduced. NOTEThe descriptions of the various types in Table 1 are given for gener

29、al guidance, but the suitability of the material for a particular application depends on several factors and the suppliers advice should always be sought before a final choice is made, particularly where the application involves contact with chemicals. The suitability of the product for any chemical

30、 application should be assessed on background knowledge and service conditions required, and, if necessary, tests relevant to the specific applications should be carried out. Where the sheet is to be used in contact with foodstuffs or potable water, discussion with the supplier is essential since se

31、lected formulations are normally required in such cases. Intending users of rigid PVC sheet for foodstuffs contact applications are advised to consult the “Code of practice for plastics in foodstuffs contact applications” published by the British Plastics Federation, 5 Belgrave Square, London SW1X8P

33、8.0 24.0 10% BS3757:1978 2 BSI 07-1999 4.3 Length and width. For sheets up to3m long, the length and width of a sheet when measured at23 2 C shall be within the tolerance0mm+6mm of the nominal size, and the lengths of the diagonals shall not differ by more than1mm per500mm length of sheet. For speci

34、al shapes, the tolerances on linear dimensions shall be as agreed between the supplier and the purchaser. 4.4 Delamination. When a sheet of not less than1.5mm nominal thickness is tested in accordance with the requirements of Appendix A, it shall show no signs of delamination. 4.5 Horizontal burning

35、 characteristics of a150mm 13mm 1.5mm test specimen when exposed to a small flame. When tested in accordance with method508A (as amended in1974 1) ) of BS2782:1970 three consecutive specimens shall not burn to the first mark and shall show no flame or afterglow5s after the burner has been removed. N

36、OTEThe test method described in method508A is used primarily for the purpose of monitoring the consistency of production of the PVC sheet. Its use gives an indication of a suitable formulation which influences the performance of a test specimen as measured by this method. In no circumstances shall t

37、he test results thus obtained be considered as an overall indication of the potential fire hazards presented by PVC sheet under the actual conditions of use. 4.6 Retention of embossed surface after heating. When embossed sheet of typesC1 andC3 is tested in accordance with the method described in App

38、endix B, the general pattern of the embossed surface shall remain without substantial loss of depth. When agreed between the supplier and the purchaser, embossed sheet that is to be used for vacuum forming shall be tested in accordance with the method described in Appendix C and the depth of the emb

39、ossed pattern shall remain substantially unchanged. A test temperature other than160 C may be used by agreement between the supplier and the purchaser.

42、. These changes in dimensions at120 C are not reflected in the behaviour of the material at normal temperatures when little change may be expected. a TypesA1, B,C1,and D may be tested for impact strength by the method described in Appendix D and the permitted number of failures shall be subject to a

43、greement between the supplier and the purchaser. b Type D may be tested in accordance with the requirements of Appendix F but the test temperature and the limits shall be as agreed between the supplier and the purchaser.BS3757:1978 BSI 07-1999 3 5 Performance requirements When the material is tested

44、 in accordance with the methods listed in Table 3 the results for each type shall comply with the appropriate requirements given in Table 3. For certain specialized applications, additional test requirements may be appropriate. In such cases the test methods and limits shall be agreed between the su

45、pplier and the purchaser. Wherever possible, the test methods in BS2782 should be used. Additional requirements of this type may, for example, include the following: electrical properties, mechanical properties at temperatures other than23 C, mechanical properties after ageing, notch sensitivity (im

46、pact strength), colour fastness to light, resistance to specific chemicals.BS3757:1978 4 BSI 07-1999 Appendix A Determination of resistance to delamination A.1 Thickness limitation. This method is intended for sheet not less than1.5mm thick. A.2 Form of test specimen. A rectangular specimen150mm lon

47、g,25mm wide and of the thickness of the sheet under test shall be used. It shall be cut from the edge of the sheet with its length parallel to the edge of the sheet. A.3 Number of test specimens. One specimen shall be used. A.4 Apparatus. The following apparatus shall be used. A.4.1 Vice, mounted on

48、 a rigid base, for holding the specimen. A.4.2 Light hammer or mallet A.4.3 Wedge, having the dimensions shown in Figure 1 and made from tempered steel, e.g.a machined hacksaw blade. A.5 Procedure. Clamp the specimen in the vice with its width vertical, and so that one150mm edge is horizontal and15m

49、m above the jaws of the vice. Place the sharp point of the wedge on the horizontal edge of the specimen, the width of the wedge being parallel to the plane of lamination of the specimen. Strike the wedge a sharp blow with the hammer or mallet and repeat this at five approximately equidistant points across the thickness of the specimen, these points being approximately equidistant along the length of the specimen.
