BS EN 1608Thermal insulating products for building applications. Determination of tensile strength parallel to faces
This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the tensile strength of a product parallel to its faces. It is applicable to thermal insulating products.
A test specimen is attached to two clamps which are fastened in a tensile testing machine and pulled apart at a given speed. The maximum tensile force is recorded and the tensile strength of the test specimen is calculated
