Эппс толщина: Размеры и толщина листов пенополистирола (пенопласта) для утепления

минеральная вата, пенополистирол (ппс) или экструдированный пенополистирол (эппс) / теплоизоляция / каркасный дом своими руками

Где применяют ЭППС?

Этот теплоизоляционный материал приобрел широкую популярность не только среди частных застройщиков. Его применяют не только для утепления зданий. Автомагистрали, и теплотрассы защищают от потерь тепла и обледенения этим универсальным изолятором. Но все же больше всего интересует, как используют листы ЭПП для утепления жилых домов.

Теплоизоляция стен снаружи

Для наружного утепления экструдированный пенополистирол подходит в том случае, если стены основной конструкции не пропускают пары так же, как утеплитель. Если стены «дышат» придется сооружать принудительную вентиляцию или менять окна на те, в которых есть щелевая вентиляция.

Утеплитель обязательно закрывают отделочным материалом, который и приукрасит фасад и защитит изолятор от воздействия солнечных лучей. Фиксируют ЭПП как механическим способом (дюбеля), так и клеевым.

Внутренняя теплоизоляция стен

Утепление дома изнутри выбирают крайне редко, а с использованием экструдированного пенополистирола и того реже. За исключением одного момента. Для предотвращения потерь тепла через крышу подойдет применение именно ЭПП. Все благодаря следующим характеристикам:

Низкий коэффициент поглощения влаги, для кровельного покрытия очень важно.
Хорошие прочностные характеристики.
Легкость материала.

90000 Thickness of solid wall insulation and U-values ​​you can achieve 90001 90002 90003 According to the planning portal if more than 25% of the solid wall is renovated with solid wall insulation the installation needs to adhere with building regulations. Building regulations stipulate that a solid wall needs to achieve a u-value of 0.3W / m 90004 2 90005 K or better. 90006 90007 Insulating solid walls to building regulations 90008 90003 For most of us the u-value does not mean an awful lot though — instead it is probably easier to say what thickness of material needs to be used to meet the requirements.90006 90003 As we have discussed previously there are 3 types of solid wall insulation used in 99% of installs. 90006 90013 90014 EPS (expanded Polystyrene) 90015 90014 Mineral wool 90015 90014 PIR board (e.g. Celotex) 90015 90020 90003 Based on the fact the insulation is being installed on a traditional solid wall property (with a u-value of 2.13W / m 90004 2 90005 K) — in order to achieve a final u-value of 0.3 Watts / m 90004 2 90005 K you need to use the following thicknesses. 90006 90027 90014 EPS — 88.6mm thick 90015 90014 Mineral Wool — 108.6mm thick 90015 90014 PIR board — 65.7mm thick 90015 90034 90003 In reality installers will not insulate down to the millimetre though, most installers of EPS will install 90mm or 100mm. Likewise with the mineral wool installers will go with 110mm thick insulation. 90006 90003 90038 90006 90007 Insulating in restricted space 90008 90003 Now in some cases installing this much insulation simply will not be possible. Take for example a path between two properties, which puts a limit on the scaffolding width that can be installed between the properties.90006 90044 >>> Click here to learn more about external solid wall insulation <<< 90045 90003 In this case, where it is not technically or functionally feasible, the official line from the Government is that a wall should be upgraded to the best possible standard, which can be achieved within a simple payback of no greater than 15 years. Now in reality the payback depends on energy usage in the home, so the depth of insulation used can be pretty much up to the discretion of the installer.90006 90003 Below though we have shown how the u-value varies for the same 3 products if only 50mm of the particular product is used. 90006 90027 90014 EPS - 0.48 W / m 90004 2 90005 K 90015 90014 Mineral wool - 0.56 W / m 90004 2 90005 K 90015 90014 PIR - 0.38 W / m 90004 2 90005 K 90015 90034 90003 Obviously this is some way away from the building regs requirement especially for the mineral wool and EPS, but it is still as good a cavity wall with retrofitted insulation. 90006 90003 If you have a solid wall insulation project and are looking to see what u-value will be achieved with a given thickness you need to use the following formula 90006 90003 90069 90006 90003 Where: 90006 90003 e = the thickness of insulation in metres 90006 90003 λ = the conductivity of the insulation 90006 90003 2.1 = the u-value of a solid wall 90006 90003 The conductivity of the three different insulation types are below: 90006 90027 90014 λ of EPS = 0.030 W / (m.K) 90015 90014 λ of mineral wool = 0.038 W / (m.K) 90015 90014 λ of PIR board = 0.023 W / (m.K) 90015 90034 .90000 Paint Thickness Measurement - Drywall | Resources 90001 90002 DeFelsko manufactures hand-held, non-destructive ultrasonic coating thickness gages that are ideal for non-destructively measuring the dry film thickness of paint applied to gypsum board (drywall / sheet rock / wallboard). 90003 90004 90005 Fig.1 90006 PosiTector 200 B1 measuring the combined thickness of a single layer of paint and the under layer of primer. 90007 90002 Drywall is typically painted with 3 layers (one primer and two paint).Traditionally a destructive test method is used to determine paint thickness. Today, the primary purpose of ultrasonic testing is to non-destructively measure the TOTAL thickness of the paint system, typically in the range of 3 to 5 mils (75 -125 μm). Other challenges include a tendency for primer to absorb into the paper membrane of drywall, the effects of paint surface roughness or texturing, the impact of measuring over joint compound, and the potential need to measure individual paint or primer layers.90003 90002 Two models are ideal for drywall. 90003 90012 90013 The 90005 PosiTector 200 90006 90005 B1 (Standard model) 90006 is the economical and most common solution for measuring the TOTAL coating system thickness. 90018 90013 The 90005 PosiTector 200 90006 B3 (Advanced model) is capable of measuring both TOTAL coating thickness AND up to 3 individual layer thicknesses in a multi-layer system. It also features a graphics mode for detailed analysis of the coating system 90018 90023 90002 Measuring Applications: 90003 90012 90027 Using the basic PosiTector 200 B1 to measure total thickness of the paint system 90018 90027 Measuring on a textured surface 90018 90027 The PosiTector 200 B3 graphics capability 90018 90027 Dealing with Surface Texture 90018 90027 Measuring over Joint Compound 90018 90027 Ultrasonic Multi-Layer Capability 90018 90023 90002 Additional Notes: 90003 90042 90027 How to Measure 90018 90027 Graphics Mode 90018 90027 Other Measurement Methods 90018 90027 Background on Drywall Coatings 90018 90027 Why measure with ultrasonics? 90018 90053 90054 Application # 1: Measuring total thickness 90055 90002 For those familiar with magnetic coating thickness gages, using ultrasonic coating thickness gages is easy and intuitive.The measurement method is simple and non-destructive. The displayed result is a total thickness of the coating system (primer + paint layers). 90003 90002 The PosiTector 200 B1 is ready to measure most drywall coating applications right-out-of-the-box. It has a measuring range of 13 to 1000 microns (0.5 to 40 mils) and is ideal for measuring the total thickness of the paint system. This basic version of the instrument requires no calibration adjustment for most applications, is mils / microns switchable and has a large, thick impact resistant Lexan display.90003 90002 Drywall presents two distinctly different substrate surfaces that are coated: the face paper of the wallboard over the untreated area of ​​the wallboard, and the taping compound over the seams, corners, and fasteners, (screws or nails). The PosiTector 200 B1 measures both without any special adjustments. 90003 90004 90005 Fig.2 90006 Both PosiTector 200 models have large LCDs made of thick, impact resistant Lexan. 90007 90002 Some walls have coating systems that have been applied over many years in a number of layers.Our PosiTector 200 B1 is the ideal solution when applicators only need to know the final, total thickness of the coating system. Since the primer coat is thin and mostly absorbed into the substrate material, it has minimal impact on the measured total thickness. 90003 90054 Application # 2: Measuring on a textured surface 90055 90002 Some painted wall surfaces have a slight surface texture resulting from the application roller (see Fig.3). 90003 90004 90005 Fig.3 90006 Measuring on a textured surface.90007 90002 On textured or rough surfaces the PosiTector 200 typically identifies the thickness from the top of the coating peaks down to the substrate. This is represented by distance # 1 in the Fig.4. Couplant fills the voids between the probe and the coating to assist the ultrasonic pulse enter the coating. 90003 90004 90005 Fig. 4 90006 Couplant fills the voids between the probe and the coating. 90007 90002 Sometimes this surface roughness can cause the gage to display low thickness values ​​(distance # 2).This happens because echoes from the couplant / coating interface are stronger than the coating / substrate interface. The PosiTector 200 has a unique user-adjustable SET RANGE feature (see Fig.5) to ignore roughness echoes. 90003 90004 90005 Fig.5 90006 SET RANGE are used to narrow the range of thickness that the Gage examines. 90087 90005 Lo 90006 sets the minimum thickness limit and 90005 Hi 90006 sets the maximum.Within that range, the measured thickness is 3.3 mils. 90007 90002 The more advanced PosiTector 200 B3 model provides additional information on surface texturing as described below.90003 90054 Application # 3: Using the PosiTector 200 B3 graphics capability 90055 90002 The advanced model, called the PosiTector 200 B3, is capable of measuring BOTH the total coating system thickness AND up to 3 individual layer thicknesses in a multi-layer system. It also features a graphic readout for detailed analysis of the coating system. 90003 90002 The gage's large LCD display is capable of showing both numerical and graphical representations of the measurement. The graphical display can be set to appear on the right hand side of the screen.It shows a graphical representation of the ultrasonic pulse as it passes through the coating system. 90003 90004 Surface Texture: 90007 90002 Some painted wall surfaces have a slight surface texture resulting from the application roller (see Fig.3). 90003 90004 90005 Fig.6 90006 The B3 model with the graphical display turned on. 90007 90002 In the Screen Capture (Fig.6) the graphical display clearly identifies the total paint thickness by showing the strongest return echo from the ultrasonic pulse.The instrument's graphical display may provide additional information. In this example it indicates the amount of surface texturing. 90003 90004 Joint Compound: 90007 90002 When taking total thickness measurements, periodic high readings will be displayed when the gage encounters joint compound covering the drywall seams. The resulting measurement would include the thickness of the joint compound in its total thickness calculation. This is due to a greater density differential between the drywall and joint compound, as compared to the joint compound and primer.By changing to a 2-layer application using the gage menu, the gage will individually identify the total paint thickness and the joint compound thickness as shown in Fig.7. 90003 90004 90005 Fig.7 90006 90007 90004 Multi-Layer Capability: 90007 90002 The multi-layer measurement capability of the PosiTector 200 B3 also has the potential to identify individual paint layer thickness, however this would be application specific since the gauge is limited by the differences in acoustic velocity between the primer and paint layers.As a minimum, layers could be individually measured as each paint layer is applied, allowing the user to calculate the thickness of the most recently applied layer. 90003 90054 Additional Notes 90055 90004 How to Measure 90007 90002 Ultrasonic measurement of coating thickness works by sending an ultrasonic vibration into a coating using a probe with the assistance of a couplant applied to the surface. A 4 oz bottle of a common water-based glycol gel is included with every instrument. Alternatively, a drop of water can serve as couplant on smooth, horizontal surfaces.90003 90004 90005 Fig.8 90006 Taking a measurement. 90007 90002 After a drop of couplant has been applied to the surface of the coated part, the probe is placed flat on the surface. Pressing down initiates a measurement (see Fig.8). Lifting the probe when a double beep is heard holds the last measurement on the LCD. A second reading may be taken at the same spot by continuing to hold the probe down on the surface. When finished, wipe the probe and the surface clean with a tissue or soft cloth.90003 90004 Measurement Accuracy 90007 90002 The accuracy of any ultrasonic measurement directly corresponds to the sound velocity of the finish being measured. Because ultrasonic instruments measure the transit time of an ultrasonic pulse, they must be calibrated for the "speed of sound" in that particular material. 90003 90002 From a practical standpoint, sound velocity values ​​do not vary greatly among the coating materials used in the wood industry. Therefore, ultrasonic coating thickness gages usually require no adjustment to factory calibration settings.90003 90004 Graphics Mode (PosiTector 200 B3 model only) 90007 90002 The right hand side of the PosiTector 200's screen can be used to display a graphical representation of the ultrasonic pulse as it passes through the coating system. This powerful tool enables the user to better understand what the gage "sees" below the surface of the coating. 90003 90004 90005 Fig.9 90006 90087 90005 Left: 90006 PosiTector 200 B3 with Graphics Mode ON 90087 90005 Right: 90006 PosiTector 200 B3 with Graphics Mode OFF 90007 90002 As the probe is depressed and the ultrasonic pulse travels through the coating system, the pulse encounters changes in density at the interfaces between coating layers and between the coating and the substrate.90003 90002 A "peak" depicts these interfaces. The greater the change in density, the higher the peak. The more gradual the change in density, the greater the width of the peak. For example, two coatings layers made of essentially the same material and "blended" would result in a low, wide peak. Two materials of very different density and a well-defined interface would result in a high, narrow peak. 90003 90002 The PosiTector 200 B3 chooses the highest of peaks when trying to determine coating layer thickness.For example, if the number of layers is set to 3, the 3 highest peaks between the 90005 Lo 90006 & 90005 Hi 90006 SET RANGE are selected as the interfaces betweentrian these layers. The peaks that the Gage selected are indicated by red triangle arrows (see Fig.10). 90003 90004 90005 Fig. 10 90006 90007 90002 In Fig. 10, the top (90005 Lo 90006 = 1.0 mils) and bottom (90005 Hi 90006 = 15.8 mils) Range values ​​are displayed as two horizontal lines at the top and bottom of the graphics area.90005 Lo 90006 (the minimum limit) is at the top. 90005 Hi 90006 (the maximum limit), is at the bottom. Echoes or peaks (thickness values) outside these ranges are ignored. Range values ​​are set and modified using the SET RANGE menu option. 90003 90002 This Graphics display can be manipulated with the SET RANGE menu option. In addition to being able to adjust the range values, a Cursor can be positioned anywhere between the two range values ​​to investigate other peaks. 90003 90004 90005 Fig.11 90087 90006 A cursor is used when there are more than 3 layers. 90087 In this example, the instrument combines the top two layers into a 2.2 mil result. 90087 The cursor determines the top layer to be 1.1 mils.The second layer is therefore 1.1 mils (2.2 - 1.1). 90007 90004 Other Measurement Methods 90007 90002 Conventional magnetic and eddy-current gages only work on metals. Measuring on drywall required other measuring techniques including: 90003 90192 90027 Optical cross-sectioning (cutting the coated part and viewing the cut microscopically) 90018 90027 Height measurement (measuring before and after with a micrometer) 90018 90027 Gravimetric (measuring the mass and area of the coating to calculate thickness) 90018 90027 Dipping wet film thickness gages into wet paint and calculating dry-film thickness using the percent of solids by volume 90018 90027 Substitution (placing a steel coupon on the wall and coating it at the same time) 90018 90023 90002 These techniques are time-consuming, difficult to perform, and are subject to operator interpretation and other measurement errors.Applicators find destructive methods impractical. 90003 90002 A typical destructive technique requires cutting the coated part in a cross section and measuring the film thickness by microscopically viewing the cut. Another cross sectioning technique uses a scaled microscope to view a geometric incision through the dry-film coating. To do this, a special cutting tool makes a small, precise V-groove through the coating and into the substrate (see Fig.12). Gages are available that come complete with cutting tips and illuminated scaled magnifiers.A detailed description of this test method is provided in ASTM D4138-07a, "Standard Practice for Measurement of Dry Film Thickness of Protective Coating Systems by Destructive, Cross-Sectioning Means". 90003 90004 90005 Fig.12 90006 90007 90002 Although this method 's principles are easy to understand, opportunities abound for introducing errors. It takes skill to prepare the sample and interpret the results. Also, adjusting the measurement reticule to a jagged or indistinct interface can generate inaccuracy, particularly between different operators.This method is used when inexpensive, nondestructive methods are not possible, or as a means of confirming nondestructive test results. 90003 90004 90005 Fig.13 90006 90007 90002 With the arrival of ultrasonic instruments, many coaters have switched to non-destructive inspection. 90003 90002 90003 90004 Background on Drywall Coatings 90007 90002 Gypsum "boards" are formed by sandwiching a core of wet plaster between two sheets of heavy paper. When the core sets and is dried, the sandwich becomes a strong, rigid, fire-resistant building material.Fire-resistant because in its natural state, gypsum contains water, and when exposed to heat or flame, this water is released as steam, retarding heat transfer. Manufactured in large quantities on continuous machines, gypsum wallboard and lath, prefinished wallboard, and gypsum sheathing for use under exterior finishes are among the most important materials used in housing. ASTM C1597M-04 and C1396C / 1396M-13 Standards describes specifications for gypsum wallboard. 90003 90002 Most drywall primers are water-based, polyvinyl acetate (PVA) formulations.They are relatively inexpensive and will not lift the paper of the drywall. There purpose is to seal the surface of the drywall and joint compound. This helps ensure that the finish coat will have a uniform appearance. 90003 90004 Why measure with Ultrasonics? 90007 90002 Manufacturers and applicators alike have long believed that there is no simple and reliable means for non-destructively measuring coatings on plastic substrates. Their common solution was to place metal (steel or aluminum) coupons next to the part and then measure the thickness applied to the coupon with either a mechanical or electronic (magnetic or eddy current) gage.This labor intensive solution is based on the assumption that a flat coupon placed in the general coating area receives the same paint profile as the plastic part in question. An ultrasonic solution enables the user to measure the total coating thickness of the actual part. Dependent on the ultrasonic gage utilized and the coating application process, an added advantage is the ability to identify multiple distinct layers. 90003 90002 Ultrasonic coating thickness measurement is now an accepted and reliable testing routine used in wood industries.The standard test method is described in ASTM D6132-08. "Standard Test Method for Nondestructive Measurement of Dry Film Thickness of Applied Organic Coatings Using an Ultrasonic Gage" (2008, ASTM). To verify gage calibration, epoxy coated thickness standards are available with certification traceable to national standards organizations. 90003 90002 Quick, non-destructive thickness measurements can now be taken on materials that previously required destructive testing or lab analysis. This new technology improves consistency and throughput in the finishing room.Potential cost reductions include: 90003 90192 90027 Minimizing waste from over coating by controlling the thickness of the coating being applied 90018 90027 Minimizing rework and repair through direct feedback to the operator and improved process control 90018 90027 Eliminating the need to destroy or repair objects by taking destructive coating thickness measurements. 90018 90023 90002 Today, these instruments are simple to operate, affordable and reliable. 90003 90054 Terms 90055 90004 Couplant 90007 90002 Couplant is required to propagate ultrasound into the coating.Water is a good couplant for smooth coatings. Use the supplied glycol gel for rougher coatings. While it is unlikely that the couplant will damage the finish or leave a stain on the surface, we suggest testing the surface by using the couplant on a sample. If testing indicates that staining has occurred, a small amount of water can be used instead of couplant. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet available on our website and your coating supplier if you suspect the couplant may damage the coating.Other liquids such as liquid soap may also be used. 90003 90004 Memory Mode 90007 90002 The PosiTector 200 Standard models can record 250 measurements. PosiTector 200 Advanced models can store 100,000 measurements in up to 1000 batches for on-screen statistical purposes, for printing to an optional Bluetooth Wireless Printer, or for downloading to a personal computer using the included USB Cable and one of the PosiSoft Solutions. 90003 90002 If you'd like a member of our support team to respond to your feedback, please send a note to marketing @ defelsko.com. 90003.90000 JAPAN PEACOCK thickness gauge 0.001mm Dial Thickness Tester G 6C PEACOCA Thickness Table | | 90001 90002 90003 Welcome to Lixinsheng P 90004 90003 ackaging Equipment Store 90004 90007 90002 90003 JAPAN PEACOCK thickness gauge 0.001mm Dial Thickness Tester G-6C PEACOCA Thickness Table 90004 90007 90002 90013 90007 90002 90003 JAPAN 90004 90003 PEACOCK thickness gauge 90004 90007 90002 90003 >>> Product Information 90004 90007 90002 Name: Needle plate thickness gauge / thickness gauge 90007 90002 Origin: Japan 90007 90002 Brand: PEACOCK (Japanese Peacock) 90007 90002 Model: G-6C 90007 90002 Probe style: 5mm metal plane 90007 90002 Minimum reading: 0.001mm 90007 90002 Measuring depth: 20mm 90007 90002 90003 Applicable industries: 90004 textile fabric, film, paper, gold, metal and other items of thickness measurement, lengthened type of arm with a greater measurement depth. 90007 90002 90003 Principle: 90004 in a certain area and a certain load, the measured thickness of the object.
