no less than 500mm.
4.1.4 Vernier caliper: the division value is 0.05mm.
4.1.5 Caliper.
4.2 Measuring methods
4.2.1 Block and flat plate
4.2.1.1 On the two relatively-large opposite surfaces of the product, where the distance
to the two sides is 20mm, use a steel ruler or steel tape to measure the length and
width of the product, see Figure 1, accurate to 1mm. The measurement result is the
arithmetic average of the 4 measured values.
4.2.1.2 On the two opposite lateral surfaces of the product, where the distance to the
end surface is 20mm and in the middle position, use Vernier caliper to measure the
thickness of the product, see Figure 1, accurate to 0.5mm. The measurement result is
the arithmetic average of the 6 measured values.
4.2.1.3 Use a steel ruler to measure the length of two diagonal lines on any large
surface of the product, and calculate the difference between the two diagonal lines.
Then repeat the above measurement on the other large surface, accurate to 1mm.
Take whichever the larger value of the difference between the two diagonals as the
measurement result.
4.2.2 Tube shell and arc plate
4.2.2.1 Use a steel ruler to measure the length of the tube shell or arc plate at the
center of both sides of the tube shell or arc plate and the center position of the inner
and outer arc surfaces, see Figure 2, accurate to 1mm. The measurement result is the
arithmetic average of the 4 measured values.
4.2.2.2 Use a Vernier caliper to measure the thickness of the tube shell or arc plate at
20 mm from the two opposite end surfaces to the lateral surface and at the center
position of the end surface of the tube shell or arc plate, see Figure 2, accurate to 0.5
mm. The measurement result is the arithmetic average of the 6 measured values.
softening point of 40°C to 75°C), 1 mm thick asphalt oil paper; small paint brush or
paint scraper; and other auxiliary equipment, for instance crucible for melting asphalt.
6.2 Test piece
Randomly select 4 samples; each sample is made into a test piece with a compression
surface size of about 100mm×100mm. The flat plate (or block) is cut from the center
at 5mm away from the two diagonal edges in any diagonal direction; the thickness of
the test piece is the thickness of the product, but it shall be no greater than its width. if
the arc plate and the tube shell cannot be made into a test piece with the compression
surface size of 100mm×100mm, then a test piece with a minimum compression
surface size of 50mm×50 mm may be made. The thickness of the test piece shall be
as thick as possible, but no less than 25 mm. When the test piece of this size cannot
be made, a flat plate with the same material and the same thickness may be made
instead. The surface of the test piece shall be smooth and free of cracks.
6.3 Test procedures
6.3.1 Place the test piece in a drying oven and dry it to a constant mass according to
the provisions of 8.3.2. Then move the test piece to a dryer to cool to room temperature.
6.3.2 Measure the length and width by a steel ruler (a Vernier caliper when the size is
less than 100mm) at a distance of 10 mm from the edge from the upper and lower
compression surfaces of the test piece. Use the steel ruler to measure the thickness
of the test piece in the middle of the two corresponding surfaces of the thickness. The
length and width measurement results are the arithmetic average of the 4 measured
values, respectively, accurate to 1mm (accurate to 0.5mm when the size is less than
100mm); and the thickness measurement result is the arithmetic average of the 2
measured values, accurate to 1mm.
6.3.3 For the foamed glass insulation products, use a paint brush or scraper to evenly
paint the emulsified asphalt or molten asphalt on the upper and lower compression
surfaces of the test piece before the test. The cells are required to be just painted flat.
Cover the pre-cut bitumen oil paper with a size of 100mm×100mm on the coating and
is placed in a dryer for at least 24h.
6.3.4 Place the test piece on the load-bearing plate of the testing machine so that the
center of the load-bearing plate of the testing machine coincides with the center of the
test piece.
6.3.5 Start the testing machine. When the upper load-bearing plate is close to the test
piece, adjust the ball seat to make the compression surface of the test piece evenly
contact with the load-bearing plate.
6.3.6 Load the test piece at a speed of (10±1) mm/min until the test piece is broken;
meanwhile record the compression deformation value. When the specimen is not
