Foreword

This document EN 13706-3:2002 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 249 "Plastics", thesecretariat of which is held by IBN.

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text orby endorsement, at the latest by April 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest byApril 2003.

Part 3 of this European Standard, EN 13706, defines the specification of pultruded profiles. The specificationdefines those properties, which shall be specified and the level to be obtained for each grade of profile. Twogrades; E23 and E17 are defined.

EN 13706 consists of the following parts, under the general title Reinforced plastics composites - Specifications forpultruded profiles.

Part 1: Designation

Part 2: Methods of tests and general requirements

Part 3: Specific requirements

According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the followingcountries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain,Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

1 Scope

1.1 This Part 3 of EN 13706 specifies the specification of pultruded profiles. The specification defines thoseproperties, which shall be specified and the level to be obtained for each grade of profile.

1.2 The specification specifies grades where the short-form code, Exx, is related to the Effective FlexuralModulus of the profile measured by testing a length of the complete profile.

Two grades; E23 and E17 are defined.

NOTE Other grades can be introduced at future revisions of the standard.

1.3 The properties, that shall be achieved for each class of profile are given in Table 1. Other properties that canbe reported are listed in Table 2.

1.4 Test methods to be used to determine properties related to the suitability of the profile for specificapplications are referenced in clause 4.

2 Normative references

This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of thepublication referred to applies (including amendments).

EN ISO 527-4, Plastics - Determination of tensile properties - Part 4: Test condition for isotropic and orthotopicfibre-reinforced plastics composites (ISO 527-4:1997).

EN ISO 14125, Fibre-reinforced plastic composites - Determination of flexural properties (ISO 14125:1998).

EN ISO 14130, Fibre-reinforced plastic composites - Determination of apparent interlaminar shear by short-beammethod (ISO 14130:1997).

EN 13706-2:2002, Reinforced plastic composites — Specification for pultruded profiles — Part 2: Methods of testand general requirements.

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given EN 13706-2 apply.

4 Specification

4.1 Obligatory specified properties

For each grade of pultrusion profile manufactured in accordance with this specification the manufacture shall meetall the requirements for all the properties included in Table 1.

Measurement of the property requirement 1.1 in Table 1 is undertaken on a test length of the full section of theprofile but is not applicable to solid, flat sections. Measurement of the property requirements in 1.2 to 1.10 inTable 1 are undertaken using coupons cut from the profile or from a test plate prepared according to clause 6 ofEN 13706-2:2002.

4.2 Other properties which may be reported

Other properties of the profile, which may be reported but are not required to be specifically controlled are given inTable 2.

4.3 Specific performance properties

Pultruded profiles under this specification may be required to meet specific performance criteria. Unless otherwisespecified, the test methods given in Table F.1 to F.4 in annex F of EN 13706-2:2002 are recommended. Annex Gof EN 13706-2:2002 allows flexural, shear and torsion data to be obtained for the full profile.

4.4 Other requirements

Profiles manufactured according to this specification shall comply fully with clause 4 of EN 13706-2:2002.
