1、Designation: D6007 14Standard Test Method forDetermining Formaldehyde Concentrations in Air fromWood Products Using a Small-Scale Chamber1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6007; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case

2、 of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method measures the formaldehyde concentra-tions in air emitted by wood product te

3、st specimens underdefined test conditions of temperature and relative humidity.Results obtained from this small-scale chamber test method areintended to be comparable to results obtained from testinglarger product samples by the large chamber test method forwood products,ASTM Test Method E1333. The

4、results may becorrelated to values obtained from ASTM Test Method E1333.The quantity of formaldehyde in an air sample from the smallchamber is determined by a modification of NIOSH 3500chromotropic acid test procedure. As with ASTM Test MethodE1333, other analytical procedures may be used to determi

5、nethe quantity of formaldehyde in the air sample provided thatsuch methods give results comparable to those obtained byusing the chromotropic acid procedure. However, the testresults and test report must be properly qualified and theanalytical procedure employed must be accurately described.1.2 The

6、wood-based panel products to be tested by this testmethod are characteristically used for different applicationsand are tested at different relative amounts or loading ratios toreflect different applications. This is a test method that specifiestesting at various loading ratios for different product

7、 types.However, the test results and test report must be properlyqualified and must specify the make-up air flow, samplesurface area, and chamber volume.1.3 Ideal candidates for small-scale chamber testing areproducts relatively homogeneous in their formaldehyde releasecharacteristics. Still, produc

8、t inhomogeneities must be consid-ered when selecting and preparing samples for small-scalechamber testing.1.4 The values stated in SI units are the standard values.Any values given in parentheses are for information only.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any

9、, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Significance and Use4.1 Upper limits for the formaldehyde emission rates havebeen established for wood panel building products made withurea-formaldehyde adhesives and permanent

22、ly installed inhomes or used as components in kitchen cabinets and similarindustrial products. This test method is intended for use inconjunction with the test method referenced by HUD 24 formanufactured housing and by Minnesota Statutes for housingunits and building materials. This method may also

23、be used formonitoring products for compliance to the California AirResources Board (CARB) regulation for composite woodproducts. This test method provides a means of testing smallersamples and reduces the time required for testing.4.2 Formaldehyde concentration levels obtained by thissmall-scale met

24、hod may differ from expected in full-scaleindoor environments. Variations in product loading,temperature, relative humidity, and air exchange will affectformaldehyde emission rates and thus likely indoor air form-aldehyde concentrations.4.3 This test method requires the use of a chamber of 0.02to1m3

25、in volume to evaluate the formaldehyde concentrationin air using the following controlled conditions:4.3.1 Conditioning of specimens prior to testing,4.3.2 Exposed surface area of the specimens in the testchamber,4.3.3 Test chamber temperature and relative humidity,4.3.4 The Q/A ratio, and4.3.5 Air

26、circulation within the chamber.5. Interferences5.1 The NIOSH 3500 analytical method lists phenols as anegative interference when present at an 8:1 excess overformaldehyde. Modifications in the analytical procedure shallbe made when relatively high phenol to formaldehyde concen-trations (8:1) are ant

27、icipated.8,96. Apparatus6.1 Test ChamberThe interior volume of the small cham-ber shall be from 0.02 to 1 m3. The interior of the test chambershall be free of refrigeration coils that condense water anditems such as humidifiers with water reservoirs since water hasthe potential for collecting formal

28、dehyde and thus influencingtest results. The interior surfaces of the small chamber,including any sample support system, shall be a nonadsorbentmaterial. Stainless steel, aluminum, and polytetrafluoroethyl-ene (PTFE) have been found appropriate as chamber liningmaterials. All joints except for doors

29、 used for loading andunloading specimens should be sealed. Doors shall be self-sealing.6.2 Make-Up Air:6.2.1 The make-up air shall come from a filtered dust-freeenvironment and a formaldehyde concentration in air no morethan 0.02 ppm. This can be accomplished by passing make-upair through a filter b

30、ed of activated carbon, activated aluminaimpregnated with potassium permanganate, or other materialscapable of absorbing or oxidizing formaldehyde.6.2.2 Make-up air for the chamber must pass through acalibrated air flow measuring device.6.2.3 Air CirculationLow speed mixing fans or multi-portinlet a

31、nd outlet diffusers are two techniques that have beenused successfully to ensure mixing of the chamber air over allsample surfaces.6.2.4 Air Sampling PortThe exhaust flow (that is, cham-ber outlet) is normally used as the sampling point, althoughseparate sampling ports in the chamber can be used.

Procedure10.1 Test Procedure for Materials:10.1.1 Purge the chamber by running empty or with the useof filters designed to reduce the formaldehyde backgroundconcentration in air, or both. The formaldehyde backgroundconcentration in air of the empty operating chamber sha

45、ll notexceed 0.02 ppm. Clean chamber surfaces with water orsuitable solvent if formaldehyde background concentrationsapproach 0.02 ppm.10.1.2 Locate the specimens in the chamber so that theconditioned air stream circulates over all panel surfaces.10.1.3 Operate the chamber at 25 6 1C (776 2F) and 50

46、6 4 % relative humidity. Record the temperature, relativehumidity, and barometric pressure during the testing period.Conduct the chamber test at a given Q/A ratio and record thisratio in the report.10.1.4 After placing samples in chamber, allow time for noless than three full air changes or 15 min,

47、whichever is greater,before beginning air sample collection (see Note 1).NOTE 1For products with very low emissions or to establish equiva-lence to ASTM Test Method E1333, it may be necessary to allow a longertime period prior to beginning air sampling.10.2 Air SamplingPurge air sampling lines for 1

48、 min. Atthe sampling station, bubble air through a single impingercontaining 20 mL of a 1 % sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3) solu-tion. A filter trap may be placed between the impinger and theflowmeter. Set a calibrated flowmeter to maintain an averageairflow of 1 6 0.05 L/min for 30 to 60 min (see Note 2)

49、 withtime measured accurately to within 5 s. Following airsampling, analyze the collection solution.NOTE 2For products with very low emissions or to establish equiva-lence toASTM Test Method E1333, it may be necessary to use the 60 minsampling time.10.3 Analysis of Air Samples:10.3.1 Pipet 4 mL of the NaHSO3solution from the im-pinger into each of three 16 by 150-mm screwcap test tubes fortriplicate analysis of each impinger sample.10.3.2 Pipet 4 mL of 1 % NaHSO3into a 16 by 150-mmscrewcap test tube to act as a reagent blank.10.3.3 Add 0.1 mL of 1 % chromotropi
