This higher hygroscopicity sometimesis the cause for staining, decay, poor paint adhesion, and migration and exuding of chemicals and moisture at the high humidities.Corrosion of metal fasteners so

The retention shall provide a flame-spread index of 25 or less when tested inaccordance with either Test Method E2768 or with Test Method E84 for 10 min with no evidence of significant progressioncombustion when the test is co

24、 treatments being testedare for applications other than those requiring conformance to building code requirements for “fire-retardant-treated wood” thatrequire Test Method E84 test extended to 30 min or Test Method E2768. When alternative performance criteria for the treatedproducts are applicable,

25、the test report shall include the alternative performance criteria and the treatment retention required forspecimens conforming to any alternative performance criteria.NOTE 1The use of solid wood, untreated control specimens is recommended to provide verification of the high-humidity testing conditi

26、ons.NOTE 2Southern pine sapwood is suggested as the test species because it requires higher fire-retardant chemical retentions to obtain the same flamespread rating compared to other commonly used species. Because the hygroscopicity of fire retardant treated wood correlates to the chemical retention

27、levels, southern pine is believed to represent a worst case scenario for the same chemical formulation and treating procedures. Thus, testing of otherspecies, rather than by application of southern pine test results, are considered to be indicative of that species only.7. Procedure7.1 All measuremen

29、rior tohigh-humidity exposure. Specimens shall be separated while drying to permit unrestricted air flow to all surfaces.7.3 If the specimens will support fungal or mold growth during the high humidity exposure, then the specimens they shall besprayed with a suitable biocide just prior to the above

30、exposureair drying (see 7.2and allowed to air-dry for the seven days.).7.4 Weigh each specimen to obtain weight prior to high humidity exposure.7.5 Expose all specimens under constant humidity conditions of 92 6 2 % at 2781 6 2C (814F 27 6 4F) for 7 days. 2Cfor not less than 168 or more than 180 hou

Specimens shall be suitably suspended so that all surfaces are exposed.NOTE 3In this test method, the samplesspecimens are not exposed for sufficient duration to obtain equilibrium moisture content. This test methodwas developed for fire-retardant-treated wood. For the purpose of identifying tre

32、atments with low hygroscopic properties, the duration of seven days 168hours (seven days) has been shown to be adequate for fire-retardant-treated wood. adequate. If the method is applied to other materials, the necessity fora longer duration of exposure needs to be investigated.7.6 If the specimens

33、 exude moisture or chemicals or both under the exposure conditions, collect any drippings and include theweight with the specimen weight.D3201/D3201M 1327.7 Weigh each specimen immediately, after its removal from the conditioning chamber to obtain the weight after high humidityexposure. Observe and

34、record the general appearance of the specimens.7.8 Dry each specimen in an oven at 103 6 2C (217 6 4F) until approximately 217 6 4F 103 6 2C until constant weightis attained, and reweigh to obtain ovendryoven-dry weight after high humidity exposure. Constant weight can be is assumed whentwo consecut

35、ive readings taken 2 h apart agreeare within 0.2 %.Avoid drying for periods longer than necessary to achieve constantweight, since thermal decomposition of chemical or wood might occur reflecting a higher than actual moisture content.8. Calculations8.1 Calculate the moisture content of each specimen

36、 prior to high-humidity exposure (ui) as follows:ui,%5mi 2modmod! 3100 (1)where:mi = weight of specimen prior to high-humidity exposure, andmod = ovendry weight of specimen after high-humidity exposure.mod = oven-dry weight of specimen after high-humidity exposure.8.2 Calculate the moisture content

37、of each specimen after high-humidity exposure (uf) as follows:uf,%5mf 2modmod! 3100 (2)where:mf = weight of the specimen after high-humidity exposure, andmod = ovendry weight of specimen after high-humidity exposure.mod = oven-dry weight of specimen after high-humidity exposure.NOTE 4These methods o

38、f determining the moisture content do not correct for anypossible volatilization of chemical during the ovendrying, whichincreases oven-drying, which would increase the calculated percent moisture content. Also, the calculation for percent moisture content is relative to thetotal specimen weight of

39、wood and chemical. The percent moisture content relative to the wood weight alone is higher and this value can be estimatedby reducing the mod value in the divisor of the above equation by the known or assumed percentageestimated weight of chemical in the treated specimen.9.
