Why should you use BS 9101 - Steel and aluminium rainwater systems?
Benchmark testing is conducted to allow the FEA user to check their set-up against known values, and thus ensure all settings are correct in the FEA software
BS 9101 provides you with the two types of gutter tests i.e., gutter stress test: finite element analysis and gutter stress test: physical testing this will help you to avoid limiting testing options. These are equivalent methods of testing.
BS 9101 provides you with the materials, tolerances, mechanical properties that help you improve the durability and longevity of metal gutters and pipes intended to drain rainwater from buildings.
