Summary of Practice4.1 Specimens are exposed to repetitive cycles of light andmoisture under controlled environmental conditions.4.1.1 Moistur

17、e usually is produced by spraying the testspecimen with demineralized/deionized water or by condensa-tion of water vapor onto the specimen.4.2 The exposure condition may be varied by selection of:4.2.1 Light source filter,4.2.2 The type of moisture exposure,4.2.3 The timing of the light and moisture

18、 exposure,4.2.4 The temperature of light exposure, and4.2.5 The timing of a light/dark cycle.4.3 Comparison of results obtained from specimens exposedin same model of apparatus should not be made unlessreproducibility has been established among devices for thematerial to be tested.4.4 Comparison of

19、results obtained from specimens exposedin different models of apparatus should not be made unlesscorrelation has been established among devices for the materialto be tested.5. Significance and Use5.1 The use of this apparatus is intended to induce propertychanges associated with the end use conditio

20、ns, including theeffects of sunlight, moisture, and heat. These exposures mayinclude a means to introduce moisture to the test specimen.Exposures are not intended to simulate the deterioration causedby localized weather phenomena, such as atmosphericpollution, biological attack, and saltwater exposu

21、re.Alternatively, the exposure may simulate the effects of sunlightthrough window glass. Typically, these exposures would in-clude moisture in the form of humidity.NOTE 2Caution: Refer to Practice G151 for full cautionary guidanceapplicable to all laboratory weathering devices.5.2 Variation in resul

22、ts may be expected when operatingconditions are varied within the accepted limits of this practice.No reference, therefore, shall be made to results from the useof this practice unless accompanied by a report detailing thespecific operating conditions in conformance with Section 10.5.2.1 It is recom

23、mended that a similar material of knownperformance, a control, be exposed simultaneously with thetest specimen to provide a standard for comparative purposes.It is best practice to use control materials known to haverelatively poor and good durability. It is recommended that atleast three replicates

24、 of each material evaluated be exposed ineach test to allow for statistical evaluation of results.6. 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

25、as copper on 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 Ty

26、pesRadiation emitted by the open flamecarbon arc contains significant levels of very short wavelengthUV (less than 260 nm) and must be filtered. Two types of glassfilters are commonly used. Other filters may be used by mutualagreement by the interested parties as long as the filter type isreported i

27、n conformance with the report section in PracticeG151.6.1.2 None of these filters changes the spectral powerdistribution of the open flame carbon arc to make it matchdaylight in the long wavelength UV or the visible light regionsof the spectrum.6.1.3 The following factors can affect the spectral pow

28、erdistribution of open flame carbon arc light sources:6.1.3.1 Differences in the composition and thickness offilters can have large effects on the amount of short wavelengthUV radiation transmitted.6.1.3.2 Aging of filters can result in changes in filtertransmission. The aging properties of filters

29、can be influencedby the composition. Aging of filters can result in a significantreduction in the short wavelength UV emission of a burner.6.1.3.3 Accumulation of dirt or other residue on filters canaffect filter transmission.6.1.3.4 Differences in the composition of the metallic saltsused in he car

30、bon rods can affect the spectral power distribu-tion.6.1.4 Spectral Irradiance:6.1.4.1 Spectral Irradiance of Open Flame Carbon Arc withDaylight FiltersDaylight filters are used to reduce the shortwavelength UV irradiance of the open flame carbon arc in anTABLE 1 Typical Relative Ultraviolet Spectra

Test results can be expected to differbetween exposures using open flame carbon arc devices in which the spectralpower distributions

34、differ by as much as that allowed by the tolerances typical fordaylight filters.

43、ly used type of extended UV filters aremade from Potash-Lithia glass and are commonly known as Corex Dfilters.6.2 Test ChamberThe design of the test chamber mayvary, but it should be constructed from corrosion resistantmaterial, and in addition to the radiation source, may providefor means of contro
