Foreword

This Document was drafted as per the rules specified in GB/T 1.1-2020 Directives for

Standardization - Part 1: Rules for the Structure and Drafting of Standardizing Documents.

This Document is Part 1 of GB/T 10801; GB/T 10801 consists of the following parts:

--- GB/T 10801.1 Molded Polystyrene foam for thermal insulation;

--- GB/T 10801.2 Rigid extruded polystyrene foam board for thermal insulation (XPS).

This Document replaced GB/T 10801.1-2002 Molded polystyrene foam for thermal insulation.

Compared with GB/T 10801.1-2002, the major technical changes of this Part are as follows

besides the structural adjustments and editorial modifications:

a) Add this Document is also applicable to the molded polystyrene foam for thermal

insulation made by adding graphite and other additives to the raw materials and their cut

products in the scope (see Clause 1 of this Edition);

b) Add terms and definitions (see Clause 3 of this Edition);

c) Delete the classification by density; and add grading by compressive strength, by thermal

insulation performance, and by combustion performance (see 4.1 of this Edition; 3.1 of

the 2002 Edition);

d) Increase product marking (see 4.2 of this Edition);

e) When the thickness is greater than 100, the allowable deviation is +/-5 (see 5.2 of this

Edition);

f) Change the "apparent density" in the requirements to "apparent density deviation" (see

5.3 of this Edition; 4.3 of the 2002 Edition);

g) Delete the compressive strength >= 400kPa in the requirements; and add the compressive

strength >= 500kPa and >= 800kPa in the requirements; (see 5.3 of this Edition; 4.3 of the

2002 Edition);

h) Change the thermal conductivity in the requirements from <=0.041W/(m-K) and

<=0.039W/(m-K) into <=0.033W/(m-K) and <=0.037W/(m-K) (see 5.4 of this Edition; 4.3

of the 2002 Edition);

i) Delete the combustion performance oxygen index in the requirements; and add the

combustion performance grade in the requirements: Grade-B1 or Grade-B2 or Grade-B3

(see 5.5 of this Edition; 4.3 of the 2002 Edition);

j) Change the relative humidity of state adjustment and test from 45%~55% to (50+/-10)%

Molded Polystyrene Foam for Thermal Insulation (EPS)

1 Scope

This Document specifies the classification, requirements, test methods, inspection rules and

marking, packaging, transportation and storage of molded polystyrene foam for thermal

insulation (EPS).

This Document is applicable to molded polystyrene foam for thermal insulation and products

cut from it, which is obtained by heating and pre-expanding expandable polystyrene beads in a

mold with closed-cell structure and a service temperature not exceeding 75°C. This Document

is also applicable to the molded polystyrene foam for thermal insulation made by adding

graphite and other additives to the raw materials and products cut from it.

6.2 Numerical rounding off

When judging whether the measured value or its calculated value meets the requirements of the

standard, the measured value or its calculated value obtained from the test shall be compared

with the limit value specified in the standard; and the comparison method shall be conducted

according to rounding off comparison method specified in GB/T 8170-2008

6.3 Appearance

Visual inspection under natural light.

6.4 Dimensions and tolerances

Dimensions are measured in accordance with GB/T 6342-1996. The number of samples is 3

boards; measure the length, width, and thickness of each sample at 6 points, take the arithmetic

mean value; and calculate the deviation from the nominal length, nominal width, and nominal

thickness. Measure the difference between the two sets of diagonals on the two large surfaces

of the board, and take the arithmetic mean.

b) After normal production, when there are major changes in raw materials, processes, and

main production equipment;

c) During normal production, inspect at least once a year;

d) When the product has been discontinued for more than six months and production is

resumed.

7.2 Batching

The quantity of products of the same specification shall not exceed 2000m3 as a batch.

7.3 Judgment rules

7.3.1 Judgement of exit-factory inspection

Ten groups are randomly selected for inspection of size deviation and appearance; three pieces

form a group; and if two or more of them are unqualified, the batch is considered unqualified.

The physical and mechanical properties are randomly sampled from this batch of products. If

any item is unqualified, double sampling shall be taken from the original batch; and the

unqualified items shall be re-inspected. If the re-inspection result is still unqualified, the entire

batch is judged to be unqualified.

7.3.2 Judgment of type inspection

Randomly select the number of samples that meet the experimental requirements from qualified

products; and conduct the test according to the method specified in Clause 6; and the results

shall meet the requirements in Clause 5.

8 Marking, Packaging, Transportation, and Storage

8.1 Marking

When the product leaves the factory, it shall be accompanied by a product certificate; and

marked with the following information, such as product name, used standard number,

trademark, company name, detailed address, product marking, nominal apparent density,

nominal length, nominal width, nominal thickness, production date, batch number.

8.2 Packaging

Products can be packaged with plastic straps, plastic bags, shrink film, etc., and can also be
