Significance and Use4.1 The hygroscopic properties of wood and wood-basedproducts treated with fire-ret

7、ardant chemicals are often greaterthan for untreated products. This is particularly true at thehigher relative humidity conditions. This higher hygroscopicitysometimes is the cause for staining, decay, poor paint adhesion,and migration and exuding of chemicals and moisture at thehigh humidities. Cor

Procedure7.1 All measurements of the specimen weight shall be to anaccuracy of 60.2 %.7.2 The specimens shall be in moisture equilibrium with alaboratory ambient condition of 30 to 65 % rel

15、ative humidity orshall be exposed for at least 7 days at such a condition prior tohigh-humidity exposure.7.3 If the specimens will support fungal or mold growthduring the high humidity exposure, then the specimens shall besprayed with a suitable biocide just prior to the above exposureand allowed to

16、 air-dry for the seven days.7.4 Weigh each specimen to obtain weight prior to highhumidity exposure.7.5 Expose all specimens under constant humidity condi-tions of 92 6 2 % at 27 6 2C (81 6 4F) for 7 days.Specimens shall be suitably suspended so that all surfaces areexposed.NOTE 2In this test method

17、, the samples are not exposed for sufficientduration to obtain equilibrium moisture content. This test method wasdeveloped for fire-retardant-treated wood. For the purpose of identifyingtreatments with low hygroscopic properties, the duration of seven days hasbeen shown to be adequate for fire-retar

18、dant-treated wood. If the methodis applied to other materials, the necessity for a longer duration ofexposure needs to be investigated.7.6 If the specimens exude moisture or chemicals or bothunder the exposure conditions, collect any drippings andinclude the weight with the specimen weight.7.7 Weigh

19、 each specimen immediately, after its removalfrom the conditioning chamber to obtain the weight after highhumidity exposure. Observe and record the general appearanceof the specimens.7.8 Dry each specimen in an oven at 103 6 2C(217 6 4F) until approximately constant weight is attained,and reweigh to

20、 obtain ovendry weight after high humidityexposure. Constant weight can be assumed when two consecu-tive readings taken 2 h apart agree within 0.2 %. Avoid dryingfor periods longer than necessary to achieve constant weight,since thermal decomposition of chemical or wood might occurreflecting a highe

21、r than actual moisture content.8. Calculations8.1 Calculate the moisture content of each specimen prior tohigh-humidity exposure (ui) as follows:ui,%5mi modmod!3 100 (1)where:mi= weight of specimen prior to high-humidity expo-sure, andmod= ovendry weight of specimen after high-humidityexposure.8.2 C

22、alculate the moisture content of each specimen afterhigh-humidity exposure (uf) as follows:uf,%5mf modmod!3 100 (2)where:mf= weight of the specimen after high-humidity expo-sure, andmod= ovendry weight of specimen after high-humidityexposure.NOTE 3These methods of determining the moisture content do

23、 notcorrect for any volatilization of chemical during the ovendrying, whichincreases the calculated percent moisture content. Also, the calculation forpercent moisture content is relative to the total specimen weight of woodand chemical. The percent moisture content relative to the wood weightalone

24、is higher and this value can be estimated by reducing the modvaluein the divisor of the above equation by the known or assumed percentageof chemical in the treated specimen.9. Report9.1 Report the following information:9.1.1 Complete identification of the fire-retardant product asto species of wood,

25、 wood product, and treatment.9.1.2 Description of sampling procedure and number anddimensions of test specimens.9.1.3 General description of humidity chamber and controlsused for the test.9.1.4 When data are available for untreated specimensexposed simultaneously with the treated specimens to thehig

26、h-humidity condition, the report shall include the averagemoisture content of the untreated specimens at the end of theexposure.9.1.5 The average of the moisture contents for the treatedspecimens before high-humidity exposure, as calculated by Eq1, shall be reported.9.1.6 The average of the moisture

27、 contents for the treatedspecimens after high-humidity exposure, as calculated by Eq 2,shall be reported.9.1.7 Report any change in the appearance of the specimenduring exposure, including surface wetness, chemical exuda-tion, or crystals on surface.10.
