Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a simple quantitat

16、ive measureof water absorption by coated composite wood products.Although primarily used to evaluate factory-primed compositewood products, this test method may be of service for otherwood substrates and coating systems.5.2 This test method has demonstrated utility for compositewood siding products

17、ranging in thickness from approximately6.35 to 25.4 mm (14 to 1 in.). Extension of this test method towood substrates of other types and thickness may be useful.5.3 Conditioning of substrate, coated sample preparation,application method, dry film thickness, cure conditions, andnumber of replicate sp

18、ecimens should be agreed upon betweenthe purchaser and the supplier of the coating material.5.4 Such measurements are used as indicators or predictorsof the anticipated performance of coated composite woodproducts during exterior exposure. They may be used fordevelopmental evaluation of coatings, su

19、bstrates, or both. Theymay also be useful for quality control or monitoring of theproduction of coated composite wood products.6. Apparatus6.1 Rings, may be cut from stainless steel, aluminum orPVC pipe. The ring diameter can be any size, but useful resultshave been obtained with rings of 101.6 mm (

20、4 in.) or larger5inside diameter, wall thickness of 9.53 mm (38 in.) and heightof 25.4 mm (1 in.).6.2 Environmental Chamber, set at 23 6 2C (73 6 4F)and 50 6 5 % relative humidity, or other agreed upon options.6.3 Saw, suitable for cutting of samples.6.4 Caulk Gun or Applicator, or, a clamp and gask

21、et devicefor holding the ring tightly against the board is needed.6.5 Balance, with sufficient capacity (typically 400 g) and0.01-g accuracy.7. Materials7.1 Butyl or Silicone Caulk, which has been determined notto contribute to assembly weight change through absorption ofwater or interaction with th

22、e coating.7.2 Distilled Water, (see Specification D 1193).7.3 Test Boards, appropriately identified, coated or un-coated,6cut to a square size that is 25.4 mm (1 in.) greater thanthe ring diameter. A minimum of three replicates is recom-mended.7.4 Control Samples, coated or uncoated without rings wi

Hazards8.1 Use saws with goggles, dust mask, and proper machinesafeguards to prevent injury.8.2 Caulking compounds may be flammable and containtoxic solvents. See manufacturers instructions for proper use

24、and disposal.9. Procedure9.1 Sealing of Rings to the Coated Face of the Samples:9.1.1 A continuous bead of caulk is applied to one edge ofthe ring. The caulked side of the ring is then attached to thesample with gentle pressure and a slight twisting motion; tomaintain an accurate and uniform test ar

25、ea, only minor caulk“squeeze-out” should occur inside of the ring. Carefully wipeout this minor caulk“ squeeze-out” to prevent errors in latercalculations.9.1.2 Alternatively, the assembly may be produced with aclamp and gasket device.7Satisfactory results can also beobtained from clamp and gasket d

26、evices that are of self designand locally produced by any machine shop.9.1.3 To inhance reproducibility, do not generate data by acombination of the caulk procedure and the clamp and gasketprocedure.9.1.4 Also, for improved reproducibility, all rings must be ofthe same nominal internal diameter.9.2

27、Equilibration:9.2.1 Allow the samples with rings and controls withoutrings to equilibrate for seven days at 23 6 2C (73 6 4F) and50 6 5 % relative humidity.9.3 Initial Weighing:9.3.1 Weigh (grams) the controls and samples with rings tothe nearest 0.01 g; record the weight.9.4 Fill each ring with the

28、 volume of distilled water requiredto achieve a depth of 12.7 6 3.2 mm (12 618 in.) of distilledwater.9.5 Store test assemblies at the same conditions used forequilibrating the panels.9.6 Final Weighing:9.6.1 After 24 h, pour out the water and blot the surfaceinside the ring completely dry with a so

29、ft paper towel.Immediately weigh (grams); record the new weight of thesamples with rings.9.6.2 After all measurements from 9.6.1 have been com-pleted, weigh (grams) and record the weights of the controlboards without rings. Compare the weights with the initialweights. If the weight change of the con

30、trol boards is morethan 20 % of the weight change of the test boards, the absolutevalues of the test results may be questionable.9.7 Additional Procedures:9.7.1 Caulked rings can be removed from the coated boardsby pulling the ring from the board and cleaning in lacquersolvent.9.7.2 For textured boa

31、rds without a groove in the coatedpanel, apply additional caulk to the outside of the ring to get asatisfactory seal after attaching the ring to the coated board.9.7.3 For boards with a groove in the coated board, attachthe ring to the board so that at least one groove length will bethe same as the

32、diameter of the ring. Apply extra caulk in the5Rings of 01.6 to 254.0 mm (4 to 10 in. 1) are commonly used.6The use of the uncoated test boards is not intended for direct comparison withthe coated samples, but may be used to ascertain the substrate variability and suggestthe number of replicates nee

Extra caulk may have to be applied in thegroove outside the ring after attaching t

35、he ring in order to geta good seal.9.7.4 During equilibration and testing of the boards withrings, store the boards test side up and single high on a flatsurface that is impervious to moisture.9.7.5 If an environmental chamber is used, the controlboards with ring assemblies must not be stacked upon

It is recommended that the control boards and ringassemblies be stored coated side up and single high on wireracks at least 50.8 mm (2 in.) above or below adjacent rings.Care must be taken so as not to overload the humidity chamberwith rings containing water.10.
