What is BS EN 15416-3 - Load bearing timber structures about ?
BS EN 15416-3 is an international standard for adhesives for load bearing timber structures that specifies the test methods which helps in classifying the performance of adhesives for load bearing timber structures. It also ensures the suitability of the adhesives in defined climatic conditions.
BS EN 15416-3 specifies a method for determining the creep deformation of bonded specimens loaded in bending shear.
Note: BS EN 15416-3 is applicable to adhesives used in load bearing timber structures
Note 2: It is suitable for the following applications:
- For assessing the compliance of adhesives to EN 15425 and EN 16254
- For assessing the suitability and quality of adhesives for load bearing timber structures
Who is BS EN 15416-3 - Load bearing timber structures for ?
BS EN 15416-3 on adhesives for load bearing timber structures other than phenolic and aminoplastic is useful for:
- Furniture and fixtures industry
- Construction Civil engineers
- Architects
- Interior designers
Why should you use BS EN 15416-3 - Load bearing timber structures ?
Guidelines in BS EN 15416-3 help you not only to select a suitable adhesive but also to evaluate adhesives and adhesively-bonded load bearing timber structures.
BS EN 15416-3 helps in understanding the constant loading of bending specimens of a constant cross-section at cyclically varying climate conditions. A test jig is useful in loading force in each loading point and the climatic chamber helps in maintaining two chambers while conducting the test. BS EN 15416-3 helps in evaluating the deflection of load bearing.
Buying BS EN 15416-3 helps you in performing the test which determines the creep deformation of load bearing. These test methods also ensure the suitability of adhesives in different climatic conditions for load bearing timber structures.
