Significance and Use5.1 The drying rate of organic coatings varies with changesin temperature, air flow, and relative humidity. In particular, thedrying rate of wate

11、rborne paints depends on the evaporation ofwater and thus is much more dependent on relative humiditythan are solvent based paints or paints that are 100 % solids.Measurement of the rate of drying of waterborne paints underambient conditions in laboratories cannot be adequately repli-cated without s

12、ome control of the drying conditions. A testchamber will be described that provides a means of controllingrelative humidity above ambient humidity and minimizing theeffects of air flow variability at ambient room temperatures. Ifdesired, the test chamber without water in it and with ventswide open c

16、8-2959. United States1controlled room to test dry speed at various temperatures aswell as humidity while using the chamber to minimize theeffect of air flow.5.2 This practice is particularly useful for testing the dryingrate of waterborne pavement marking (traffic) paints where fastdry at elevated a

17、mbient humidity is an important feature. Forwaterborne traffic paints, the test chamber can be used toevaluate dry to no-pick-up (Test Method D711) and waterwash-off resistance (Practices D7377 and D7538) at elevatedambient humidity.6. Apparatus and Equipment6.1 Test ChamberThe required elements of

18、the test cham-ber are listed below. (Manufacturing details and a photographof a suitable test chamber are shown in Appendix X1.)(1) Manufactured from transparent material to allow forvisual monitoring of relative humidity and dry time testprogress inside of the chamber.(2) Horizontal support for coa

19、ted test panels within thechamber that is perforated to allow circulation of humidifiedair.(3) A door in the front of the chamber for taking test panelsin and out of the chamber.(4) Control of relative humidity above the ambient relativehumidity and minimization of air flow.6.2 Hygrometerplaced in t

20、he test chamber in full view ofthe operator to monitor the relative humidity inside of thechamber. This hygrometer should be accurate within 63%relative humidity and provide a range from at least 20 to 100 %relative humidity.6.3 Thermometerto record air temperature.6.4 Anemometer/Wind Meter (optiona

21、l)to confirm air flowinside the chamber is “minimal” (below 0.02 m/s).6.5 Other apparatus and equipment specified in the chosendrying rate test procedure.7. Reagents7.1 Waterto provide humid air for mixing with ambient airin the test chamber.8. Procedure8.1 Preparation of Test Chamber Type Described

22、 inAppendix X1:8.1.1 Cover the bottom of the chamber with water or placewater soaked cloth or paper rags below the panel support withwater.8.1.2 Close all ports and the door and allow equilibration tothe maximum relative humidity allowed by the tolerances ofthe chamber.8.1.3 Establish the desired re

23、lative humidity by opening andclosing the ports on the sides of the chamber, preferably so thatthe size of the port openings are about the same on both sidesof the chamber to equalize the air circulation in the chamber.The relative humidity in the test chamber will stabilize once theport openings ar

24、e established. Occasional slight adjustments inthe side port openings may be required if the ambient humidityin the room changes significantly during testing.8.1.4 Target test relative humidity must be above the ambi-ent humidity in the room. It is best to use the chamber in aconditioned room at a c

25、ontrolled temperature (23 6 2C) andhumidity (50 6 5 % relative humidity) as described in Speci-fication D3924.8.2 Calibration and StandardizationWhen using the testchamber to determine drying rates, the initial rate test shouldinclude a reference paint of known performance to determinethe relative d

26、rying rates of test paints and to gauge the effect ofambient room temperature and relative humidity on the dryingrates for that test period.8.3 Using the Test Chamber for Determining Drying Rates:8.3.1 Prepare a test stripe as described in the chosen dryingrate procedure at the wet film thickness as

27、 specified by thatprocedure.8.3.2 Record the time of application or use a timer.8.3.3 Immediately place the panel with the wet film in thecenter of the panel support. The ports on the sides of the testchamber must be adjusted promptly and frequently to regainthe desired relative humidity within 65 %

28、 relative humidity.8.3.4 A second panel can be prepared and tested in thechamber at the same time. In order to be able to test the secondpanel after the same elapsed time as the first panel, it isnecessary to allow sufficient time between test panel prepara-tions. Record the time of application of t

29、he second panel andimmediately place the panel next to the first panel near thecenter of the panel support. Testing of more than two panels atone time will introduce more variability in results due to poorercontrol of drying conditions.8.3.5 At regular intervals, test the dry time of the test filmsi

30、n accordance with the procedures specified in Test MethodD711 (no-pick-up) and Practices D7377 and D7538 (waterwash-off resistance) or other desired method. All interestedparties shall agree on the time intervals at which panels areremoved from the chamber for testing.9. Report9.1 Report the relativ

TEST CHAMBER CONSTRUCTION ( see Fig. X1.1 for example)X1.1 The test chamber shall consist of a basic box, aperforated panel support, a waterproof bottom to hold water orsome other means to provide saturated air inside the chamber,and holes (ports) that can be opened partially to fully to allowamb

This hygrometer should be accuratewithin 63 % relative humidity and provide a rang

34、e from atleast 20 to 100 % relative humidity.X1.3 The chamber should be made of a transparent, water-proof material such as clear acrylic plastic. The clear plasticshould be38 in. thick.
