These exposures mayinclude a means to introduce moisture to the test specimen.Exposures are not intended to simulate the deterioration causedby localiz

Typically, these exposures would include mois-ture in the form of humidity.5.2 CautionsRefer to Practice G 151 for ful

It isrecommended that at least three replicates of each ma

Apparatus6.1 Laboratory Light SourceOpen flame carbon arc lightsources typically use three or four pairs of carbon rods, whichcontain a mixture of rare-earth metal salts and have a metalcoating such as copper on

24、 the surface. An electric current ispassed between the carbon rods which burn and give offultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation. The carbon rod pairsare burned in sequence, with one pair burning at any one time.Use carbon rods recommended by the device manufacturer.6.1.1 Filter TypesRadiation
