24、dicate that the tested product sample likely will meet the corresponding acceptance criterion for a reference test.4. Principles4.1 Micro-scale test chambers operate under the same mass transfer principles as conventional small-scale test chambers andcells for measuring emissions of VOCs including f

25、ormaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds from materials and products (seeGuide D5116 and Practice D7143).4.2 Clean gas (dry nitrogen or air) is supplied to a micro-scale chamber and passes over the exposed surface of the test specimenbefore reaching the exhaust point. The gas flow rate and temperatu

26、re within the micro-scale chamber are controlled. As the gaspasses over the test specimen, emitted compounds are swept away from the surface.4.3 After the test specimen has equilibrated in the micro-scale chamber (typically for 20-402040 minutes), a sampling deviceis connected to the outlet for coll

27、ection of vapor-phase compounds exiting the chamber.5. Summary of Practice5.1 Micro-scale chambers can be used for rapid screening and quality control of VOC emissions from many materials andproducts. Compatible sources include (with examples): rigid materials (plastics, wood-based panels, hard surf

28、ace flooring),compressible materials (textiles, foams, polymer sheeting), irregularly-shaped materials (polymer components, carpet), andwet-applied products in dried or cured form (for example, paints, coatings, adhesives, caulks, sealants).5.2 Representative test specimens are prepared from materia

29、l/product samples and are placed directly into micro-scalechambers. For samples that are heterogeneous, it is necessary to prepare and test replicate specimens. In some cases, it may benecessary to precondition samples or specimens prior to testing.5.3 Micro-scale chambers typically are used for mea

30、suring area-specific emissions from surfaces. They also can be used todetermine mass-, length- or unit-specific emission rates from variously shaped test specimens.5.4 Chamber bodies are held at moderately elevated temperatures of 30C to 60C and typically are supplied with a controlledflow of clean,

The key parameters of equilibration time,chamber temperature and inlet gas flow rate are optimized in an iterative process starting from typical conditions and thenc

33、onfirmed by the analysis of replicate specimens.5.6 Gas samples for VOCs are collected at the exhaust of the micro-scale chamber. For ease of use, the entire gas flow exitingthe chamber typically passes through the sampling device.5.7 A number of gas sampling and analytical methods are compatible wi

VOCs may be collected onsorbent tubes and analyzed by thermal desorptiongas chromatography (GC) with mass spectrometry (MS) and/or flameionization detection (FID) to identify and quantify compounds as described in Test Method D7339, Practice D6196, ISO 16000-6and USU.S. EPAM

35、ethod TO-17. Formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds may be sampled and analyzed as described in TestMethod D5197 and ISO 16000-3. Other analytical techniques such as direct-reading instruments may be used if applicable.5.8 This practice describes tests that are used to correlate emission results

36、obtained from micro-scale chambers to referenceresults from conventional emission test chambers and cells (that is, Guide D5116, Test Method D6007, Practice D7143). Thisrelationship is then developed and validated to establish a control level to evaluate whether the sample is likely to be compliantw

37、ith guidelines or regulations for VOC emissions that are determined by a reference methodSee Section 12.6. Significance and Use6.1 Manufacturers increasingly are being asked or required to demonstrate that vapor-phase emissions of chemicals of concernfrom their products under normal use conditions c

38、omply with various voluntary or regulatory acceptance criteria. This processtypically requires manufacturers to have their products periodically tested for VOC emissions by independent laboratories usingdesignated reference test methods (for example, Test Method D6007, ISO 16000-9, and ISO 16000-10)

39、. To ensure continuingcompliance, manufacturers may opt to, or be required to, implement screening tests at the production level.6.2 Reference methods for testing chemical emissions from products are rigorous and typically are too time-consuming andimpractical for routine emission screening in a pro

40、duction environment.6.3 Micro-scale chambers are unique in that their small size and operation at moderately elevated temperatures facilitate rapidequilibration and shortened testing times. Provided a sufficiently repeatable correlation with reference test results can bedemonstrated, appropriate con

41、trol levels can be established and micro-scale chamber data can be used to monitor productmanufacturing for likely compliance with reference acceptance criteria. Enhanced turnaround time for results allows for moretimely adjustment of parameters to maintain consistent production with respect to vapo

42、r-phase chemical emissions.6.4 This practice can also be used to monitor the quality of raw materials for manufacturing processes.6.5 The use of elevated temperatures additionally facilitates screening tests for emissions of semi-volatile VOCs (SVOCs) suchas some phthalate esters and other plasticiz

Apparatus7.1 General Description:7.1.1 The micro-scale chamber test apparatus comprises one or more micro-scale chambers, a means of incubating themicro-scale chamber(s) at controlled temperature, a regulated clean gas (nitrogen or air) supply system with optionalhumidification, gas sampling

44、capabilities, and instrumentation for control, monitoring and recording of conditions.7.1.2 A chamber is typically cylindrical in shape to accommodate an O-ring seal and ranges in total volume from a fewmilliliters to about 150250 mLdepending upon the mode of operation, that is, chamber mode for bul

45、k sample emission testing andcell mode for surface emission testing of planar specimens. An example of a typical micro-scale chamber illustrating both modesof operation is shown in Appendix X1.7.1.3 The chamber body and lid assembly are designed to be leak free.7.1.4 Achamber body often has an integ

46、ral sample holder that accommodates a planar test specimen such that the back surfaceand edges of the specimen are not exposed to the gas stream.The chamber body also can accommodate irregularly shaped materialsfor bulk emission testing.7.1.5 The typical cylindrical shape, small exposed volume and a

47、ssociated high air change rate of the micro-scale chamber;together with the positioning of the gas inlet and outlet perpendicular to the sample surface for a planar specimen(Annex(Appendix X1 A) ) are designed to optimize turbulence, eliminate still air and ensure thorough mixing of the gas withinth

48、e chamber at the range of flows specified (see 7.4.4). Typically all of the gas exiting the chamber outlet passes onto the gassampling device, further ensuring representative sampling. Recovery tests can be used to demonstrate adequate mixing (see 8.7.1).7.2 Construction:7.2.1 The micro-scale chambe
