EN 13677-2:2003 (E)64 General Requirements4.1 Appearance4.1.1 SurfaceThe glass fibre reinforcement shall be thoroughly impregnated with the polypropylene matrix. No unimpregnatedfibre bundles shall be visible on the surface of an "as supplied" blank after heating to the moulding temperature asdefined in 6.1.5.4.1.2 RectangularityIf supplied as pre-cut blank, rectangularity shall be determined by measuring the diagonals of a blank using theprocedure given in the normative annex B.4.1.3 WarpageWarpage of blanks shall be determined by guiding a template over a blank using the procedure given in thenormative annex A.4.2 PackagingUnless agreed to the contrary between customer and supplier, the GMT material shall be supplied packed onpallets suitable for handling by fork lift stacker truck and transportation by road truck without slipping of individualblanks or distortion of the pallet likely to give rise to instability of the pallet.4.3 LabellingEach package shall be clearly identified with :4.3.1Reference to the designation code.4.3.2Product type.4.3.3Number of the production lot.4.3.4Number of the pallet with the lot.4.3.5Blank or coil dimensions.4.3.6Gross and net weight of the pallet.4.3.7The number of blanks or coils may also be included (optional).5 Sampling5.1 GeneralThe properties of GMT shall be measured by the manufacturer one occasion only on each lot and documented inthe form of a certificate of conformity. One lot is, as a maximum, the amount of GMT produced without changingthe product specification.5.2 Certificate of ConformitySamples shall be taken out of the production as needed to undertake both the obligatory tests defined in thisspecification plus such other optional tests as may be agreed between customer and supplier. The results of thesetests shall be reported in the certificate of conformity. The certificate shall comply with the requirements ofEN 10204.SIST EN 13677-2:2003
EN 13677-2:2003 (E)75.3 Resolution of quality issuesIn the case when issues of quality arise between customer and supplier re-testing of the material is necessary. Thesampling and tests shall be undertaken as follows.5.3.1 Sampling for measurement of blank weight and blank dimensions (thickness, width and length)30 blanks shall be taken at random from the top of the pallet in question. Blank weights and dimensions shall bemeasured on each blank and reported as the mean of the 30 individual values for each of the 30 blanks.5.3.2 Sampling for measurement of fibre content and density5 blanks shall be taken at random from the top of the pallet in question. From the centre of each blank a testspecimen of suitable size shall be cut for the determination of the density (ISO 1183) and the fibre content(EN ISO 1172). The test result shall be reported as the mean of the determination on the 5 individual blanks.5.3.3 Sampling for test plaques for mechanical testingRe-testing requires 10 test specimens. 5 test specimens shall be cut from each of 2 test plaques in accordancewith 6.2. Each test plaque shall be moulded in accordance with 6.1. If the blank size is too small for taking blanksfor the test plaques two alternatives are recommended, delivery with each lot of either extra blanks suitable formoulding the test plaques or moulded test plaques.6 Preparation of plaques and test specimens6.1 Test plaquesGMT parts are usually manufactured by a compression flow-moulding process. Therefore the determination of themechanical properties shall be made on test plaques which have also been flow moulded.6.1.1 Surface area of mould200 mm x 200 mm minimum.6.1.2 Plaque thickness4 ± 0,2 mm.6.1.3 Blank sizeSince the test plaques are moulded in a flow moulding process, only approximately 50 % of the mould area shall becovered by the stack of blanks.When the thickness of the blanks is in the range 3,7 mm – 3,8 mm, two equally sized square blanks shall beselected of a size sufficient to achieve the target 4mm thickness in the moulded test plaques. If the sheets arethinner the number of blanks may be increased. If the sheets are thicker, the number of blanks may be reduced toone.6.1.4 Blank stackingWhen 2 blanks are used they shall be stacked 0°/90° in the case of random reinforced materials and 0°/0° in thecase of UD material. Three or more blanks shall be stacked symmetrically (0°/90°/0° :0 °/90°/90°/0° : etc.) Seeinformative annex I for further information on the definition and stacking of blanks in the mould.Stacks of blanks shall be placed centrally into the mould.SIST EN 13677-2:2003
EN 13677-2:2003 (E)86.1.5 Blank temperatureThe blank temperature used to mould the test plaques shall be 210 ± 10 °C determined in accordance with themethod given in normative annex H.Should GMT show evidence of smoking during heating it is evidence of thermo-oxidative degradation and muststrictly be avoided. Material that has been seen to smoke during heating must not be used for moulding testplaques. Evidence of smoking may indicate that there is a fault in the blank heating process. See normativeannex H for further information on recommended blank heating parameters.6.1.6 Mould temperatureThe mould temperature shall be 60 ± 5 °C.6.1.7 Specific moulding pressureThe mould pressure shall be > 14 MPa.6.1.8 Handling timeThe stack of heated blanks shall be inserted into the centre of the mould cavity and the mould closed immediately.The mould stamp shall come into contact with the test material within 35 s ± 5 s after the end of the heating timeincluding no longer than 5 s ± 1 s after placing the blanks into the mould.6.1.9 Pressing speedFrom the time the mould stamp comes into contact with the test material to the time of maximum force shall be amaximum of 5 s.6.1.10 Cooling timeThe time between the time of maximum force and the time at which the mould stamp is raised shall be a minimumof 60 s.6.2 Preparation of specimens6.2.1 Net area of the moulded test plaqueThe glass fibre takes up preferential orientation in the corners of the test plaque mould during the mouldingprocess. Therefore test specimens can only be cut for the centre portion of the test plaque where the fibreorientation is isotropic. 15 % of the width and 15 % of the length of the test plaque shall be cut away on each sideof the plaque leaving an area from which the test specimens can be cut. e.g. a plaque of 400 mm x 4
