Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice specifies the operating procedures for a controlled irradiance xenon arc lig

3、ht and water apparatus. Theprocedure uses one or more lamp(s) and optical filter(s) to produce irradiance similar to sunlight in the UV and visible range. Italso simulates the water absorption and stress cycles experienced by automotive exterior coatings under natural weatheringconditions. This prac

4、tice has also been found applicable to coatings on other transportation vehicles, such as aircraft, trucks andrail cars.1.2 This practice uses a xenon arc light source with specified optical filter(s). The spectral power distribution (SPD) for the lampand special daylight filter(s) is as specified i

5、n Annex A1. The irradiance level used in this practice varies between 0.40 and 0.80W/(m2nm) at 340 nm. Water is sprayed on the specimens during portions of several dark steps. The application of water is suchthat the coatings will absorb and desorb substantial amounts of water during testing. In add

6、ition, the cycling between wet/dry andwarm/cool will induce mechanical stresses into the materials. These test conditions are designed to simulate the physical andchemical stresses from environments in a subtropical climate, such as southern Florida.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regard

7、ed as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

These two cycles are designed to replicate the common types of failures driven by theinteraction of photo-oxidation during daylight and hydrolysis during water exposure that are seen in a subtropical climate such asgloss

18、 loss, color change, adhesion, blistering and cracking (2).5. Significance and Use5.1 This test procedure is used to simulate the physical and environmental stresses that a coating for exterior transportationapplications (for example, automotive) is exposed to in a subtropical climate, such as south

19、ern Florida. It has been found that sucha subtropical climate causes particularly severe deterioration of such coatings. The long water exposures and wet/dry cycling foundin southern Florida are particularly important for this deterioration, in addition to the high dosage of solar radiation (3). Thi

20、spractice was developed to address the deficiencies of historical tests used for transportation coatings, especially automotivecoatings (4).NOTE 1This test procedure was developed through eight years of cooperative testing between automotive and aerospace OEMs, material suppliers,and test equipment
