What is BS EN 17224 - Compressive shear strength of wood adhesives about?
BS EN 17224 specifies a test method for determining the comparative compression shear strength of adhesive bonds and solid wood at both ambient temperature and elevated temperature. The maximum load of the test pieces at ambient temperature and after exposure to a specific elevated temperature for a specified duration of time is evaluated.
BS EN 17224 applies to adhesives used in load-bearing timber structures and to other wood adhesives.
The methods described in BS EN 17224 is intended primarily to obtain performance data for the influence of elevated temperatures on the behaviour of adhesive bonds.
This method is not intended to provide data for structural design and does not necessarily represent the performance of the bonded element in service.
Who is BS EN 17224 - Compressive shear strength of wood adhesives for?
BS EN 17224 on wood adhesive is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of wood adhesives
- Chemical engineers
- Any entity responsible for testing and quality of adhesives
- Wood industries
Why should you use BS EN 17224 - Compressive shear strength of wood adhesives?
The wood adhesive is used to tightly bind wood pieces together. Many substances have been used as adhesives.
BS EN 17224 provides methods to determine the shear strength of wood adhesives at elevated temperatures that are used in load-bearing timber structures and other wood adhesives.
BS EN 17224 covers all significant requirements, methods and procedures for determining the compressive strength of wood adhesives when they are used in an intended manner and under reasonable conditions of misuse.
Overall, BS EN 17224 is a comprehensive guide to provide methods for determining the shear strength, so users will gain a comprehensive understanding of the quality of adhesives, durability and strength.
