Guide G141 provides guidance regarding this issue.NOTE 1This practice can be used for other than bituminous materials, but the significance and use have not bee

Apparatus5.1 The fluorescent UVand condensation apparatus used shall conform to the requirements defined in Practices G151 and G154.5.2 LampsUnless otherwise specified, the The lamps shall be fluorescent UVA-340 lamps as described in 6.1.3.1 of PracticeG154.5.2.1 Other fluorescent UV

19、lamps meeting the size and electrical characteristics in 5.2 may be used if mutually agreed upon andprovided that the lamp and spectral energy distribution are reported in conformance with Section 9.5.3 MoistureIt is permitted to expose the test specimens to moisture in the form of water spray, cond

20、ensation, or highhumidity.5.3.1 Water SprayIt is permitted to equip the test chamber with a means to introduce intermittent water spray onto the testspecimens under specified conditions. The spray shall be uniformly distributed over the samples. The spray system shall be madefrom corrosion resistant

21、 materials that do not contaminate the water used.5.3.1.1 Spray Water QualitySpray water shall have a conductivity below 5 S/cm, contain less than 1-ppm solids, and leaveno observable stains or deposits on the specimens. Very low levels of silica in spray water can cause significant deposits on thes

22、urface of test specimens. Care should be taken to keep silica levels below 0.1 ppm. In addition to distillation, a combination ofdeionization and reverse osmosis can effectively produce water of the required quality. The pH of the water used shall be reported.See Practice G151 for detailed water qua

23、lity instructions.6. Test Specimens6.1 Unless otherwise agreed upon, test specimens shall be approximately 3 by 6 in. 75 by 150 mm. Bituminous materials withadequate flow resistance shall be applied as uniform coatings on aluminum panels in accordance with Practice D1669D1669/D1669M. Fabricated mate

24、rials such as bituminous roofing, shingles, and similar products shall be cut to size and their weathersurfaces exposed. If these are too flexible to sustain their own weight in a vertical position, they may be mounted on aluminumpanels.6.1.1 Replicate specimens are desirable to provide Unless other

25、wise specified, expose at least three replicate specimens of eachtest and control material using nondestructive tests of change in material properties and six replicate specimens using destructivetests. Do not mask the face of each specimen for the purpose of showing on one panel a record of degrada

26、tion at different timeintervals. Retention of an unexposed specimen is recommended as it is difficult to mask a specimen to prevent exposure tocondensation.Misleading results may be obtained by this method because the masked portion of the specimen is still exposed totemperature and moisture that in

27、 many cases will affect results. Instead, provide a replicate set of specimens for each time interval.6.1.2 Follow the procedures described in PracticeRetention of an unexposed specimen is G147 for identification, conditioning,and handling of specimens of test and control materials prior to, during,

28、 and after exposure.recommended for comparison withexposed specimens when destructive tests are used to measure change in material properties.7. Procedure7.1 Proceed in accordance with Section 9 of Practice G154.7.2 Apparatus shall be operated continuously, except for intervals for repositioning of

29、samples or inspection of samples,according to one of the following cycles. The temperature specifications are for an uninsulated black panel thermometer. Forequipment that requires an irradiance setting for its operation, it shall be 0.89 6 0.02 W/(m2nm) at 340 nm. Specimens shall beconfined to an e

30、xposure area in which the irradiance is at least 90 % of the irradiance at the center of the exposure area. Unlessit is known that irradiance uniformity meets this requirement, use one of the procedures described in Practice G154, Section 9.5,to ensure equal radiant exposure on all specimens or to c

31、ompensate for differences within the exposure chamber. If the specimensdo not completely fill all of the spaces, fill the empty spaces with blank panels of corrosion resistant material to maintain the testconditions within the chamber.Cycle A 4 h UV at 60 2.5C, alternating with 4 h condensationat 50

34、 allow for such inspection. The time taken for inspection of the samples shall not be counted as part of theexposure.NOTE 2The cycle to be employed shall be specified in the product standard.NOTE 3The operational fluctuations, that is, the positive and negative deviations from the specified set poin

35、ts for the irradiance and temperature, areallowable deviations from the set points during equilibrium operation of the equipment. They do not imply that the user is allowed to program a set pointhigher or lower than that specified. Operate the apparatus to maintain the allowable operational fluctuat

36、ions. If the latter are greater than the maximumallowable after the equipment has stabilized, discontinue the test and correct the cause of the problem before continuing.8. Period of Exposure and Evaluation of Results8.1 The duration of the exposure under this practice shall be one of the following:

37、8.1.1 A mutually agreed upon number of hours of exposure,8.1.2 The number of hours of exposure required to produce a mutually agreed upon minimum amount of change in the testspecimen, or8.1.3 The number of hours required to produce mutually agreed upon minimum acceptable change in either the test sp

38、ecimenor a mutually agreed upon standard sample.8.2 It is permitted to evaluate changes in the exposed samples visually each day by comparing them with unexposed samples,or in terms of the number of hours exposure required to produce physical or chemical changes as determined by Test MethodD1670D167

Precision and Bias10.1 PrecisionThe re

41、peatability of results obtained in exposures conducted according to this practice will vary with thematerials being tested, the material property being measured, and the specific test conditions and cycles that are used. It is essentialto determine reproducibility of the exposure/property measuremen

42、t process when using the results from exposures conductedaccording to this practice in product specifications.10.2 BiasBias cannot be determined because no acceptable standard weathering reference materials are available.11.
