It supersedes BS7457:1991 which is withdrawn. This edition introduces technical changes but it does

11、not reflect a full review or revision of the standard. 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. Requirements have been included for the thermal conductivity to be designated by the manu

12、facturer. The installation of suitable polyurethane foam into the cavities of masonry walls is widely recognized as providing an improvement in their thermal insulation. At the same time the high strength characteristic of the material and its good adhesion to masonry has led to its being widely ado

13、pted as an effective method for stabilizing walls in which the wall ties have, by corrosion, become inoperative. The successful installation of polyurethane foam into external cavity walls relies on two standards, i.e.this standard which specifies the requirements for the polyurethane foam systems,

14、and the code of practice, BS7456:1991, which gives recommendations designed to achieve the optimum installation of the polyurethane foam systems specified in this standard in masonry or concrete cavity walls. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract.

15、Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages 1 to 6, an inside back cover an

This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS7457:1994 BSI 08-1999 1 Introduction A suitable polyurethane foam system may be injected into a masonry cavity wall

17、by injecting the liquid polyurethane foam system through properly spaced holes in the outer leaf. The polyurethane foam system expands in the cavity and sets to become a substantially closed-celled cross-linked rigid polyurethane foam which is strongly adhered to the inner and outer leaves, so that

18、these leaves become bonded together. Such a system comprises an isocyanate, a polyol (an isocyanate reactive resin usually containing two or more hydroxyl groups) and an expanding agent, which is a liquid at normal UK ambient temperatures and is usually incorporated as a liquid into the polyol compo

19、nent. Thus the operation consists on site of continuously mixing the two components correctly and inserting the resultant foam system into the cavity. The expansion results from the vaporization of the expanding agent due to the heat generated by reaction of the polyol and isocyanate. Because the st

20、rength of the rigid polyurethane foam is significant the system has been widely used for the restoration of the integrity of cavity walls in which the wall ties have become ineffective due to corrosion. The installed rigid polyurethane foam thus confers two benefits namely insulation and interleaf b

21、onding. It should be stressed that, while polyurethane foam is a satisfactory replacement for normal metal wall ties it does not prevent corrosion of existing ties in a wall nor halt the deterioration caused by such corrosion. All installations in walls to deal with corroding wall ties have to be ac

22、companied by a suitable treatment of the existing ties such as removal, isolation (see A.9 of BS7456:1991). 1 Scope This British Standard specifies the property requirements, composition, and the production parameters of suitable rigid polyurethane foam (PUR) systems, which are dispensed on site, to

23、 fill the cavities of maximum width150mm of suitably constructed external walls of maximum continuous cavity height12m which have masonry or concrete inner and outer leaves, thereby providing additional thermal insulation to such walls and simultaneously, especially in the case of damaged wall ties

24、improving their structural integrity. 2 References 2.1 Normative references This British Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
