What is BS EN 17333-1 about?
BS EN 17333 series discusses characterization of one component foam BS EN 17333-1 is the first part of a series of documents
specifies test methods for the evaluation of the foam yield characteristics for moisture curing, self-curing activatable, or water drying foams dispensed from single pressurized foam containers.
Note: BS EN 17333-1 does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.
Who is BS EN 17333-1 for?
BS EN 17333-1 on characterisation of one component foam is useful for:
- Fire-extinguishing
- Manufacturerers of automobile
- Construction of the buildings
- Manufacturerers of mattresses
- Manufacturer of furniture products
Why should you use BS EN 17333-1?
One component foam is a self-adhesive, self-expanding, moisture-curing, gap filling material. Because of the increasing usage of one component foam in gap fills for doors, windows, roofs, and ceilings, it is now appropriate for construction projects.
BS EN 17333-1 will help you in calculating the weight and volume of the cured foam by performing joint foamed density and foam yield test methods. Total foam yield test methods determine the moisture and self-cured foam that can be measured with the water displacement.
The free foamed density method mentioned in BS EN 17333-1 is useful to dispense the foam in a bead on a horizontal surface and allows it to cure for 24 h. Determination of the total foam yield test method is appropriate in finding the foam yield by measuring the quantity of water displacement.
BS EN 17333-1 specifies the test methods along with the test equipment and test procedures which will help you in performing the tests for foam yield characteristics. And helps improve the efficiency and durability of one component foam.
