Thermal insulating products for building equipment and industrial installations - Determination of the coefficient of thermal expansion

Scope

This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the coefficient of linear thermal expansion. The standard is applicable to thermal insulating products within the tem-perature range - 196 °C to 850 °C, subject to the possible tempera-ture limita-tion of the test speci-mens. It shall not be used for products which during the test experien-ce dimensional changes due to the loss of hydration water or which undergo other phase changes.

NOTE Because of its small dimensions the test specimen should be care-fully selected to be representative of the product being tested.

Directives and Regulations

When the standard is harmonized under a directive or regulation, the word Harmonized appear. When such an inscription does not appear, it means that the standard is related to / supporting the relevant directive or regulation.
