BS 4370-2:1993

This standard BS 4370-2:1993 Methods of test for rigid cellular materials is classified in these ICS categories:

• 83.100 Cellular materials

This Part of BS 4370 describes three methods of test which apply to rigid cellular products of polymeric origin.

Methods 7A and 7B. Measurement of thermal conductivity

Method 8. Measurement of water vapour transmission

Method 9. Determination of tensile strength

NOTE The methods may not be suitable for cellular products of inorganic origin.

Methods are given for determination of shear strength and shear modulus, thermal conductivity, water vapour transmission, tensile strength and volume percentage of closed cells. Methods 6 and 10 deleted.
