EN 826:1996
(Main)Thermal insulating products for building applications - Determination of compression behaviour
General Information
- Abstract
This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining compression behaviour of test specimens. It is applicable to thermal insulating products. It can be used to determine the compressive stress in compressive creep tests and for applications in which insulation products are only exposed to short term loads.
