- Determined
as a minimum mean value in accordance with BS EN ISO 10319:1996.
- Determined
as a lower bound using standard extrapolation techniques
to creep rupture data obtained following the test procedure in
BS
EN ISO 13431:1999 extended to 120 year design life using the
Stepped
Isochronous Method. All tests carried out on samples of the Basetex
finished product.
