2、 A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the general requirements

3、 formaterials used in rubber seals of flat-plate solar collectors,except vertically mounted passive collectors. Particular appli-cations may necessitate other requirements that would takeprecedence over these requirements when specified.1.2 The design requirement pertains only to permissibledeflecti

4、ons of the rubber during thermal expansion or contrac-tion of the seal in use and the tolerances in dimensions ofmolded and extruded seals.1.3 This specification does not include requirements per-taining to the fabrication or installation of the seals.NOTE 1Practices G 151 and G 155 are performance-

5、based practicesthat replace Practice G26cited in previous versions of D 3667. PracticeG26 described very specific designs for devices used for xenon arcexposure. The apparatus described in Practice G26 is covered by thepractices that replace it.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as

6、standard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only toSection 9, Test Methods, of this specification: This standarddoes not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any,associated with its use.

19、r vulcanizates conforming to therequirements in Section 6 and resistant to deterioration by solarradiation.5.1.1 Resistance to solar radiation can be determined byeither desert outdoor exposure in accordance with Practice G7,or laboratory exposure to a xenon arc in accordance withPractices G 151 and

20、 G 155. Desert outdoor exposure usingunbacked specimens at an angle of 45 shall be for at least sixmonths including at least one month preceding and followingthe summer solstice. Laboratory exposure shall use windowglass filters and the exposure device shall be programmed forcontinuous light only. T

21、he irradiance level shall be set at 0.35W/(m2.nm) at 340 nm at the control point. For the equivalentirradiance setting specifications for broad band measurementsof 300400 nm and 300800 nm, consult the namufacturer ofthe apparatus. The uninsulated black panel temperature shall beset at 70C at the con

22、trol point. In devices that control chamberair temperature, it shall be set at 47C. The relative humidityshall be set at 30 % at the control point. Exposure durationshall be for at least 1000 h, but of sufficient length to producea statistically significant change in the property of interest in apro

23、duct known to give poor performance so that the test is ableto identify an unacceptable material. After exposure, slightsurface chalking and dulling are permitted. Brittleness, crack-ing, loss of elongation, tackiness, or other deterioration affect-ing serviceability shall not be permitted.NOTE 4For

24、 the allowed operational fluctuations of the specified setpoints for irradiance, temperature, and relative humidity, refer toTable A3.1 in G 151. If the actual operating conditions do not comply withthe maximum allowable fluctuations in Table A3.1 after the equipment hasstabilized, discontinue the t

38、he temperature given in Table 1 orTable 2 in accordance with Test Method D 865. If necessary,cool the exposed portion of the outlet tube with a stream of airto maintain a temperature of 23 6 2C. If any volatilescondense on the inlet tube or other parts of the apparatus, addthe mass of this condensed

39、 material to the mass of the materialon the outlet tube.10. Inspection and Rejection10.1 Class PS MaterialManufacturers of preformed sealsmay use their quality control systems for production inspectionto ensure the seals conform with this specification, providedappropriate records are kept. In case

40、of dispute regarding thequality of a delivered product, a sample of five seals shall betaken from the lot and tested for compliance with this specifi-cation. If one of the five seals does not conform, a secondsample of five seals may be taken and tested. If two or more ofthe ten seals do not conform

41、, the lot may be rejected.10.2 Class SC MaterialManufacturers may use their qual-ity control systems to ensure production conforms with thisspecification. In case of dispute regarding the quality of adelivered product, five test sheets and five adhesion specimensshall be prepared, preferably from fi

42、ve different packages, inaccordance with the instructions supplied with the sealingmaterial. If one of the five sheets or adhesion specimens doesnot conform, an additional five sheets or adhesion specimensmay be prepared and tested. If two or more of the ten sheets oradhesion specimens do not confor
