General Information

Abstract

This European Standard specifies the characteristics and performance of metal beads, metal beads combined with paper tape and metal feature profiles designed for use in systems made with gypsum plasterboards, gypsum boards with fibrous reinforcement and products from secondary processing complying with the ENs shown in Figure 2, intended to be used in building construction works. Metal beads and feature profiles, depending upon their material and type, can be featured without decoration, decorated or finished with jointing compounds to receive decoration.
It covers the following performance characteristics: reaction to fire and flexural strength (bending behaviour) to be measured according to the corresponding European test methods.
It provides for the evaluation of conformity of the product to this EN.
This European Standard covers also additional technical characteristics that are of importance for the use and acceptance of the product by the construction industry and the reference tests for these characteristics.

4.7.2 Thickness of metal !The thickness of the metal shall be measured as described in 5.2.1 and compared with the nominal thickness and tolerances given in:  EN 10143 for continuously hot-dip coated steel sheet and strip according to EN 10346 continuously hot-dip coated steel flat products;  EN 10140 for cold rolled steel strip according to EN 10139 cold rolled uncoated mild steel narrow steel strip for cold forming;  EN 10131 for cold rolled uncoated and zinc or zinc-nickel electrolytically coated low carbon and high yield strength steel flat products for cold forming according to EN 10152 electrolytically zinc coated cold rolled steel flat products for cold forming. The uncoated steel strip shall have a minimum thickness of 0,35 mm for galvanized and AZ/ZA coated steel and 0,4 mm for aluminium. Corner bead tape strips shall be manufactured with a minimum coated thickness of
0,24 mm. The uncoated steel strip is calculated as nominal thickness minus tolerance and thickness of the protective coating. The thickness of the coating shall be obtained from EN 10346 or EN 10152, when appropriate." 4.7.3 Length The length shall be measured as described in 5.2.2 and compared with the nominal length. The tolerance shall be for beads ± 10 mm and for feature profiles 05− mm. 4.7.4 Straightness The straightness shall be measured as described in 5.2.3. It shall not be more than:  L/400 for angle beads;  L/600 for feature beads where L
is the length. 4.7.5 Beads The dimensions and angles of beads shall be measured as described in 5.3 and compared with the nominal dimension stated by the producer. See Table 2. 4.7.6 Feature profiles The cross sections of feature profiles are not dimensionally defined as they vary widely depending upon the decorative and aesthetic considerations. Manufacturers shall supply, on request, a dimensioned drawing of the cross section to enable design work to take place. When dimensions are measured in accordance with the method given in 5.3 the tolerance shall be ± 5 % on any individual measurement. SIST EN 14353:2008+A1:2010
