It is revision of BS5241-1:1989 which is withdrawn. The1989revision of BS5241:1975 result

10、ed in the separation of the standard into two Parts to reflect trends in current technology. In BS5241-1:1989 the specific requirements of sprayed PUR and PIR foams applied externally were detailed, whereas Part2covered the requirements for applications where the foam is dispensed. Also in BS5241-1:

11、1989 the advice to users was updated, a water absorption method added and the physical property requirements amended to take account of the revised test methods described in the latest revision of BS4370. This edition introduces technical changes but it does not reflect a full review or revision of

12、the standard. A requirement has been included for the thermal conductivity of the foam to be designated by the manufacturer. It is envisaged that this standard will be replaced by a European Standard in due course and that the European Standard will be adopted in the BSEN series. Attention is drawn

13、to BS7021, a code of practice for the thermal insulation of roofs externally by means of sprayed polyurethane (PUR) or polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam, which is published simultaneously. WARNING. Adequate fire precautions should be taken when repairing any structure containing PUR or PIR foams. Do not u

14、se welding or flame cutting equipment. The attention of contractors and purchasers is drawn to the fact that this specification covers the foam only. In almost all cases, sprayed foam requires some surface treatment or covering in order to conform to the surface spread of flame rating appropriate to

15、 the final application (seeAnnex C and BS7021), to provide protection from ultraviolet light and to confer weatherproofing. 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

16、with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

18、he thermal insulation of external surfaces, e.g.roofs and storage tanks. 2 References 2.1 Normative references This Part of BS5241 incorporates, by reference, provisions from specific editions of other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate points in the text and the p

19、ublications are listed on the inside back cover. Subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications apply to this Part of BS5241 only when incorporated in it by updating or revision. 2.2 Informative references This Part of BS5241 refers to other publications that provide informatio

20、n or guidance. Editions of these publications current at the time of issue of this standard are listed on the inside back cover, but reference should be made to the latest editions. 3 Designation For the purposes of this British Standard, the materials are divided into four types, as follows: Types1

21、and2differ principally from types3and4in their burning characteristics. Types2and4are specified where greater robustness is required e.g.in the insulation of roofs externally, where the slope of the roof is less than45 (see3.2 of BS7021:1989). The designation shall consist of a three component code

22、comprising the following items, in the order presented: a) the number and date of this British Standard i.e.BS5241-1:1994; b) a number indicating the foam type; c) a double digit number to indicate the thermal conductivity selected in accordance withTable 1. An example of the designation required fo

Table 1 Designation codes for thermal conductivity 4 Composition The material shall be of rigid polyurethane (PUR) or polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam. A material indicated by (PUR) shall be substantially composed

24、of urethane linkages and one indicated by (PIR) shall be substantially composed of isocyanurate linkages. NOTENo requirement for odour is included as its assessment is largely subjective. However, it is recommended that the material should be free from objectionable odour. 5 Test specimens and sampl

Suitable precautions shall be taken to ensure that the spaces left by extracting the samples are infilled wit

36、9 3 Annex A (informative) Notes for designers Attention is drawn to the following points of specific relevance to rigid PUR and PIR foams. a) Materials of minimum overall density35kg/m 3are usually found to be suitable for roofs with slopes greater than or equal to45 and storage tank sides (type1and

37、 type3). Those of minimum overall density48kg/m 3are usually suitable for applications in which there is a requirement for a greater robustness (type2and type4), such as roofs, including flat roofs, with slopes of less than45 and storage tank tops. b) In addition to the30day maximum thermal conducti

38、vity value which forms the specification value for the purposes of this standard, two related maximum thermal conductivity values have practical importance, and should be obtained for the product from the manufacturer as follows. 1) Design value of thermal conductivity. This figure takes into accoun

39、t the limited diffusion of gases which can be used as a basis for user calculations. Generally this will be higher than or equal to the30day value. 2) The3day value of thermal conductivity. This value is often used in manufacturing control operations, to ensure the quality of product is regularly ma

40、intained. Generally it will be lower than or equal to the30day value. c) It has been established that a negligible increase in thermal conductivity occurs within the density range of28kg/m 3to71kg/m 3 . d) When the foam is applied externally it is essential that it is adequately protected. It is ess

41、ential that reference is made to BS7021:1989 for guidance on the insulation of roofs externally by means of sprayed rigid polyurethane (PUR) or polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam. Annex B (normative) Method for determination of apparent water absorption B.1 Principle This method describes a procedure for d

42、etermining the apparent water absorption of rigid cellular materials resulting from immersion in water under special conditions of depth and time. The principle of the method is that the buoyant force of an object less dense than water when submerged is equal to the weight of water it displaces less

43、 the dry weight of the object. Water absorbed by the object reduces the buoyant force by reducing the volume of water replaced. The water absorption may be determined by measuring the change of buoyant force. The method described is intended for quality control purposes and does not include correcti

44、ons for the volume of water in the cut surface cells of the test specimen. B.2 Apparatus and materials B.2.1 A balance, capable of measurement to an accuracy of0.01g with provision for making submerged weighings. B.2.2 An underwater weighing jig, constructed from a material not attacked by distilled

45、 water and large enough to contain one test specimen. A sinker is attached to the base of the jig, so that the combined weight of sinker and jig is sufficient to overcome the upthrust of the test specimen. The jig is also fitted with a means of suspending it from the balance and is constructed so th

46、at it traps no air when submerged. B.2.3 A mesh cage, constructed from a material not attacked by distilled water and large enough to contain a minimum of three test specimens. The cage is weighted sufficiently to overcome the upthrust of the test specimens. B.2.4 An immersion tank, capable of accom

47、modating the mesh cage and underwater weighing jig and at least150mm in depth. B.2.5 De-aerated distilled water B.2.6 Low permeability plastics film B.3 Test specimen The test specimen shall be a rectangular block with length, width and thickness each (50 1)mm. The test specimen shall be free from v

48、oids and blemishes, shall have the surface skin removed and shall be prepared with minimal deformation of the original cellular structure in such a way that only the surface layer of cells is opened. NOTERough cutting on a band saw followed by trimming on a suitable slicing machine has been found sa

49、tisfactory for the preparation of test specimens. Hot wire cutting should not be used.BS5241-1:1994 4 BSI 07-1999 B.4 Conditioning The test specimens shall be conditioned for not less than16h at (23 2) C and (50 5)% r.h. before testing. The test shall be conducted at (23 2) C. B.5 Procedure Test a minimum of three test specimens. Determine the mean length, width and thickness of each test specimen as described in method1of BS4370-1:1988 taking readings along the centre of each face. If the individual readings of length
