PLY, PIR, rep 3

Plywood

Description

This experiment is on a system consisting of a Plywood cladding panel and a Polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam insulation panel, separated with a cavity of 50 mm width. It is the third repetition of this system configuration.

Experiment Notes

At approximately 4 minutes the plywood panel began to touch the insulation panel, affecting the mass measurements. At approximately 5 minutes the plywood panel began to collapse, causing a sudden change in the mass measurements as debris fell into the debris tray, onto both load cells, or off the entire assembly.
