9、m can result in an explosion. Extreme caution must be exercised to avoid personal injury. Absolutely no testing should be permitted where the prescribed safety precautions and procedures are not followed or exceeded. 3.1 All test apparatus, except the charging source, must be fully contained in an e

10、xternally vented explosion test chamber, for example, Figure 1. 3.2 The battery-charging source must be located outside the explosion test chamber convenient to the control of the testing personnel. The charging circuit must have two emergency disconnect switches located (1) readily accessible to th

11、e testing personnel and (2) at a remote position at least 3 m from the explosion test chamber. These disconnect switches are intended for emergency use only, since their use may damage some types of chargers. 3.3 A suitable test area should be designated, for example, 3 m2or more. Signs restricting

12、unauthorized persons from this area should be posted and observed while any electrical circuit in the explosion test chamber is or could be energized. 3.4 During testing, entry to the area in which the explosion test chamber is located should be clearly marked to restrict all persons not fully famil

13、iar with all safety requirements and not wearing full protection from the hazard to be encountered. FIGURE 1 - TEST CHAMBER 3.5 Smoking, open flames, unprotected lights, or other spark sources must not be permitted in the area during testing. 3.6 Full face protection devices must be worn by all pers

14、ons within the restricted area. 3.7 The battery spark source circuit must have an emergency disconnect switch readily available to the testing personnel. SAE J1495 Revised FEB2013 Page 3 of 8 3.8 The exhaust fan of the explosion test chamber, if so equipped, should be operated during the entire spar

15、k test procedure. A damper in the exhaust fan stack may be used during the test to avoid removing the gas to the extent that the spark does not ignite the hydrogen. On completion of any test sequence, all charging and sparking circuits used for the testing must be interrupted for at least 5 min (wit

16、h the exhaust fan operating if available) before anyone is permitted access to the chamber. This time interval allows any hydrogen to be purged from the chamber and to preclude the possibility of a delayed explosion occurring due to a sustained “hidden“ flame. WARNING: HYDROGEN GAS CAN BURN WITHOUT

17、VISIBLE FLAME. 4. EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR SPARK TEST 4.1 Spark testing conducted using a battery; Spark testing is always conducted with the vent (s) installed on a battery for final design verification testing. 4.1.1 An explosion chamber, for example, Figure 1, recommended to be equipped with an exp

24、1 Spark testing conducted using a battery; Spark testing is always conducted with the vent (s) installed on a battery for final design verification testing. 5.1.1 Arrange test apparatus as shown in Figure 2A or alternate 2B. 5.1.2 Before spark testing, the test battery system should be checked for g

25、as leakage at any place other than the vent opening, for example, with a soap solution. 5.1.3 Prior to the start of the test, the spark source battery must be fully charged. 5.1.4 Prior to the start of the test, the battery to which the test vent is affixed must be fully charged and gassing vigorous

26、ly. SAE J1495 Revised FEB2013 Page 6 of 8 FIGURE 4 - SCHEMATIC FOR TEXT FIXTURE 5.1.5 Prior to the start of the test, the test vent must be preconditioned as in 6.1. 5.2 Spark testing conducted using a fixture; Spark testing can be conducted on a test fixture for research and development, and initia

27、l design verification activities. Fixture testing is not to be used for final design verification testing. 5.2.1 Arrange the test apparatus as shown in Figure 4. Note that the gas inlet to the test fixture must be well below the water level as shown in Figure 3 to prevent ignited gases from entering

28、 the gas-generating battery. 5.2.2 Fill the test fixture with water to a level 3 6 mm (1/8 1/4 in) below the underside of the top. The water should be at a level that will avoid splashing water up into the vent if there is a wave action at high charge current levels Place the hold-down frame over a

29、25 m (1-mil) thickness of polyethylene film cut as shown in Figure 3. Place the frame, with film in place, over the four studs so that the film covers the open area between the fixture and the frame. Tighten the frame down finger tight with wing nuts to insure a gas-tight seal around the gasket. Fit

30、 the vent system to be tested into the fixture. 5.2.3 Before spark testing, the whole system should be checked for gas leakage at any place other than the vent opening, for example, with a soap solution. 5.2.4 Prior to the start of the test, the spark source battery must be fully charged. 5.2.5 Prio

31、r to the start of the test, the gas-generating battery must be fully charged and gassing vigorously. 5.2.6 Prior to the start of the test, the test vent must be preconditioned as in 6.1. SAE J1495 Revised FEB2013 Page 7 of 8 6. PRECONDITIONING THE VENT SYSTEM 6.1 Standard Preconditioning Preconditio

32、ning shall consist of subjecting the battery to which the venting system is attached to the conditioning charge, reserve capacity test, and recharge specified in SAE J537 Storage Batteries. This will put the vent system in an acid moistened state as is typical of its in-service condition. The spark

33、test shall be conducted within 1 h of completion of the recharge. 6.2 Hot and Cold Cycle Preconditioning (Optional) 6.2.1 Place the vent system in a cold box at ;#23#23#23#23#23#23#23#23#23#23#23#23#23#23#23#2330 g113C 2 C, for 16 h, 0.25 h. 6.2.2 Remove from cold box and place it in an oven at 70 g

34、113C, 2 C, for 8 h, 0.25 h. 6.2.3 Repeat this sequence for a total of 3 full cycles. 6.2.4 At the completion of the third full cycle, condition the vent system as in 6.1. 7. SPARK TEST PROCEDURE 7.1 Spark testing is always conducted with the vent (s) installed on a battery for final design verificat

35、ion testing. When the spark test is to be conducted on a battery: 7.1.1 Spark testing is to be conducted at ambient room temperature (20 to 25 C). 7.1.2 Battery temperature shall be at ambient room temperature (20 to 25 C) at the start of the test. 7.1.3 Charge the battery under test using constant

36、current. The initial current rate in amps is 5% of the reserve capacity minutes measured in 6.1. (Charging current shall not exceed 100 A.) If experience shows that a current level greater than 5% of the reserve capacity minutes will be needed to produce the ignition required in 7.1.6, then testing

37、can start at the greater current level. 7.1.4 Allow the gas flow rate to stabilize. (Gas flow should stabilize in 1 to 5 min.) 7.1.5 Create a spark of not less that 0.02 mJ of energy no more than 1.3 cm (0.5 in) from the test vent opening in the path of the gas flow. 7.1.6 Repeat the spark at 10 s i

38、ntervals until a minimum of 6 ignitions occur. Evolved gases must be ignited as evidenced by audible “pops”, “whooshes”, or visible flame. (If the ignited evolved gases ignite the battery, time must be allowed for the battery to self-extinguish or ignite the gas within the battery.) If no ignition i

39、s produced, raise the charge current in 7.1.3 by an additional 5% of the reserve capacity minutes and repeat 7.1.4 to 7.1.6 until an ignition at the vent is produced. The distance between the spark and test vent opening can be adjusted within the restrictions of 7.1.5 to assist with producing an ign

40、ition. 7.1.7 If the vent system is functioning properly, no gas ignition will occur within the test battery. Any functional failure, damage to any component, or change in the intended design or operational performance of the tested items or assemblies shall be considered a SAE J1495 test failure. 7.

41、2 Spark testing can be conducted on a test fixture for research and development, and initial design verification activities. Fixture testing is not to be used for final design verification testing. Where the spark test is to be conducted on the test fixture: 7.2.1 Spark testing is to be conducted at

42、 ambient room temperature (20 to 25 C). 7.2.2 Battery temperature shall be at ambient room temperature (20 to 25 C) at the start of the test SAE J1495 Revised FEB2013 Page 8 of 8 7.2.3 Charge the battery under test using constant current. The initial current rate in amps is 5% of the reserve capacit

43、y minutes measured in 6.1. (Charging current shall not exceed 100 A.) If experience shows that a current level greater than 5% of the reserve capacity minutes will be needed to produce the ignition required in 7.2.6, then testing can start at the greater current level. 7.2.4 Allow the gas flow rate

44、to stabilize. (Gas flow should stabilize in 1 to 5 min.) 7.2.5 Create a spark of not less that 0.02 mJ of energy no more than 1.3 cm (0.5 in) from the test vent opening in the path of the gas flow. 7.2.6 Repeat the spark at 10 s intervals until a minimum of 6 ignitions occur. Evolved gases must be i

45、gnited as evidenced by audible “pops”, “whooshes”, or visible flame. (If the ignited evolved gases ignite the vent system, time must be allowed for the vent system to self-extinguish or ignite the gas within the test fixture.) If no ignition is produced, raise the charge current in 7.2.3 by an addit

46、ional 5% of the reserve capacity minutes and repeat 7.2.4 to 7.2.6 until an ignition at the vent is produced. The distance between the spark and the test vent opening can be adjusted within the restrictions of 7.2.5 to assist with producing an ignition. 7.2.7 If the test vent system is functioning p

47、roperly, no gas ignition will occur within the test fixture. Any functional failure, damage to any component, test fixture, or change in the intended design or operational performance of the tested items or assemblies shall be considered a SAE J1495 test failure. NOTE: When all gas generated in the

48、12-V battery is passed into the (simulated 3 cell) test fixture, the effective gassing rate is twice that indicated by the charger current reading, for either single or gang vents. 8.
