It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions. 1 Scope This Internat

20、ional Standard specifies two methods for determining the air flow value of flexible cellular polymeric materials: method A, for conventional types of flexible cellular polymeric material; method B, for all types of flexible cellular polymeric material, but especially for materials with a low permeab

21、ility to air. NOTE 1 Air flow values can be used to give an indication of the effects of formulation and production variables on the cellular structure. NOTE 2 In this International Standard, the expression “conventional type of flexible cellular polymeric material” means types which are unsuitable

24、oam test piece 4 Principle A specified constant air pressure differential is created across a standard flexible foam specimen. The rate of flow of air required to maintain this pressure differential is the air flow value. EN ISO 7231:2010 (E) DIN EN ISO 7231:2010-12 4 5 Method A 5.1 Apparatus 5.1.1

25、General Diagrams of suitable apparatus are shown in Figure 1 (using an air pressure below atmospheric) and Figure 2 (using an air pressure above atmospheric). The essential parts are described in 5.1.2 to 5.1.5. 5.1.2 Flow-meters Low-pressure-drop flow-meters with an accuracy of up to 2 % are requir

26、ed for air flow measurements. The actual air flow shall be adjusted by a combination of valve restriction, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, and blower or vacuum pump speed, so that the required pressure difference across the specimen see 5.4 c) is maintained constant. Air flow-meters with at least 250 m

27、m scales are recommended. Flow-meters measuring in the range 0 dm3/s to 10 dm3/s will cover a wide variety of cellular polymeric materials. 5.1.3 Manometer A manometer graduated in the 0 Pa to 250 Pa range and with an accuracy of 2 % is required. Traps to prevent manometer fluid being drawn into the

28、 test chamber by accidental pressure changes shall be provided. A plunger in the fluid reservoir is used to set the zero point after levelling the manometer. The use of an inclined manometer with 2 Pa graduations is recommended. A level mounted on the manometer should be used to ensure that the prop

29、er degree of inclination from the horizontal is maintained. 5.1.4 Air supply or suction equipment The air supply or suction may be such that positive or negative pressure differences from atmospheric pressure are obtained across the test piece, using compressed air, an exhaust blower or a vacuum pum

30、p, etc. NOTE A particular apparatus can be constructed to use only positive or negative pressure. 5.1.5 Test piece mounting A chamber of nominal dimensions 140 mm diameter 150 mm depth (see Figure 1) or 75 mm diameter 1 000 mm length (see Figure 2), incorporating a test piece mounting and fittings f

31、or the manometer and exhaust, shall be provided. The test piece cavity shall be (50 0,05) mm (50 0,05) mm (25 0,05) mm. The test piece shall be supported by suitable means, for example by the use of vanes, wires or a perforated support. The support shall provide a minimum open proportion of 70 % of

32、the overall area, evenly distributed over its area (see Figures 1 and 2 for the positioning of the supports). Manometer and exhaust fittings shall be as shown in Figures 1 and 2. 5.1.6 Test chamber operated at below atmospheric pressure The apparatus, shown in Figure 1, shall be checked for leaks in

33、 the following manner: a) Seal the test piece mounting cavity with masking tape. b) With all the flow-meter valves closed, turn the air supply to approximately one-third of the maximum setting and observe any movement of the manometer. The manometer reading shall not exceed 1 Pa after 30 s. c) Open

34、the valve on the lowest-range flow-meter very slightly. The flow shall be essentially zero, as shown by a movement of less than 3 mm of the flow-meter float from its static position. EN ISO 7231:2010 (E) DIN EN ISO 7231:2010-12 5 5.2 Test pieces The test pieces shall normally be in the form of a rig

35、ht parallelepiped of dimensions (51,0 0,3) mm (51,0 0,3) mm (25,0 0,3) mm. If test pieces of a different thickness are used, the thickness shall be stated in the test report. Any test pieces with length or breadth dimensions outside the required tolerance shall be discarded as they will lead to inac

36、curate air flow values. The test pieces shall be cut out without deformation of the original cell structure. Three test pieces shall be tested. NOTE Test pieces both with and without surface skin can be tested by this method, but the results will not be comparable. 5.3 Test conditions Testing shall

37、be carried out under the standard conditions of either (23 2) C and (50 5) % relative humidity or (27 2) C and (65 5) % relative humidity, unless otherwise specified. NOTE Since the flow-meter calibration is sensitive to temperature, the results obtained with these two sets of conditions will not ne

38、cessarily be comparable. 5.4 Procedure The method of measurement shall be as follows: a) Place the test piece in the test cavity with any skin on the side exposed to the lower pressure. Make sure that the test piece is free from undue strain and that a good air seal is obtained between the edges of

39、the test piece and the apparatus. b) Close the flow-meter valves and switch on the blower or vacuum pump. c) Open the high-range flow-meter slowly and adjust the air flow to obtain a pressure differential of (125 1) Pa on the manometer. d) If this reading is less than 10 % of full scale, close the v

40、alve of this flow-meter and open the medium-range flow-meter valve. Repeat this procedure until the correct flow-meter has been selected and the reading obtained. For greater accuracy, it is preferable to use two adjacent flow-meters, holding the higher-range one steady on an appropriate graduation

41、mark and making the adjustment on the lower-range one. In this case, the air flow value is obtained from the sum of the two flow-meter readings after maintaining the pressure differential for 10 s. e) Record the reading obtained as described in step d), in cubic decimetres per second, as the air flo

42、w value for the specimen. 5.5 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) a reference to this International Standard; b) the method used (method A); c) all details necessary to identify the material tested; d) the individual test results and the mean air flow value; e) if

43、 test pieces of thickness different from that specified in 5.2 were used, the thickness of the test pieces; f) the orientation of the test pieces with respect to the direction of any anisotropy and the presence or absence of any skins; g) the test conditions used, i.e. temperature, relative humidity

44、, apparatus type and pressure direction; h) the date of the test.

The essential parts of the apparatus are as described in 6.1.2 to 6.1.5. 6.1.2 Air orifice A metal plate with an orifice of

48、a suitable size shall be mounted in the partition in the cylindrical test chamber. Generally, 10 such plates with different sizes of orifice are available, and one of them is chosen according to the air flow value of the test piece. EN ISO 7231:2010 (E) DIN EN ISO 7231:2010-12 8 6.1.3 Clamping ring

49、A metal ring shall be used to hold the test piece on top of the cylinder as shown in Figure 3. It shall have a hole in the centre to allow air to pass through the central uncovered area of the test piece. The diameter of the hole is normally 70 mm, although holes of other diameters may be used, depending on the particular test apparatus. 6.1.4 Manometer Both inclined and vertical manometers are required: they shall be graduated to an accuracy of 2 %. The inclined-manometer range shall be 0 Pa to 250
