Summary of Practices4.1

18、Specimens are exposed to light, moisture (in the form of humidity) and heat in an outdoor glass-covered enclosure with aircirculation.4.2 The exposure conditions may be varied by selection of:4.2.1 Glass Type:4.2.2 Operation of the circulating fan (whether constantly on during daylight hours or only

19、 on when a specific limit temperatureis reached).4.2.3 Temperature level at which the fan operates.4.2.4 Orientation of the test fixture.5. Significance and Use5.1 As with any accelerated test, the increase in rate of weathering compared to in-service exposure is material dependent.Results from expo

20、sures conducted to this practice may provide good rank correlation to results from actual use conditions for onetype of material or product. It should not be assumed that this will be true for other materials or products. It is always best to verifythe ability of an accelerated exposure test to prop

21、erly rank the durability of materials with actual use conditions. Guide G141provides information about using rank correlation.5.2 Variation in results may be expected when operating conditions are varied within the accepted limits of this practice.Therefore, no reference shall be made to results fro

22、m the use of this practice unless accompanied by a report detailing the specificoperating conditions in conformance with Report Section 8.5.3 The durability of materials in outdoor use can be very different depending on the location of the exposure because ofdifferences in solar radiation, moisture,

23、 heat, pollutants, and other factors. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that results fromexposure in a single location will be useful for determining durability ranking of materials in a different location.5.4 It is strongly recommended that at least one control material be exposed with each test. The

24、 control material should be ofsimilar composition and construction and be chosen so that its failure modes are the same as that of the material being tested. Itis preferable to use two control materials, one with relatively good durability, and one with relatively poor durability. If controlmaterial

25、s are included as part of the test, they shall be used for the purpose of comparing the performance of the test materialsrelative to the controls.6. Apparatus6.1 Enclosure:6.1.1 Exposures shall be conducted in a glass-covered enclosure of any convenient size (see Fig. 1). The enclosure shall beconst

26、ructed of a corrosion-resistant metal, such as anodized aluminum or stainless steel, and be designed to prevent outside airfrom circulating over specimens. Optionally, vents covered with air filter material may be installed in the bottom of the test fixtureif required to limit the black panel temper

27、ature to a specified maximum. Typical enclosure sizes are about 1.8 m wide by 0.9 mhigh by 0.7 m deep (6 ft wide by 3 ft high by 2.3 ft deep). Other sizes may be used. Additional construction information can befound in GM 9538P.6.1.2 The enclosure shall be located where it will receive solar radiati

28、on throughout the day with no shadow on any specimenwhen the suns angle of elevation is greater than 20 degrees. When the enclosure is installed over grass, the distance between thebottom of the enclosure and the ground shall be sufficient to prevent contact with plant growth, or to minimize damage

29、that mightoccur during maintenance.6.1.3 The enclosure shall be equipped with a rack which supports the specimens in a plane parallel to the glass.Alternately, thespecimens can be mounted in an in-service position. Unless otherwise specified, the distance between the exposed surface of flatspecimens

30、 shall be 75 6 25 mm from the back surface of the glass cover.4 Available from International Organization for Standardization (ISO), 1, ch. de la Voie-Creuse, Case postale 56, CH-1211, Geneva 20, Switzerland, http:/www.iso.ch.G201 1626.1.4 Formed specimens with irregular dimensions may require custo

31、m mounting with varying distances from the glass cover.In such cases, mount the test specimen surface of major interest parallel to the glass cover at a distance of 75 6 25 mm from theglass cover. The mounting frame or plate shall be constructed of a material that is compatible with the test specime

32、ns. In orderto minimize shadowing from the top and sides of the enclosure, the usable exposure area under the glass shall be limited to thatof the glass cover reduced by twice the distance from the cover to the specimens keep specimens away from each edge by adistance of at least twice the differenc

33、e between specimens and glass as shown in Fig. 2. The effective width of the specimenmounting area is L-4X and the effective height of the mounting area is W-4X, where L is the width of the glass cover, W is theheight of the glass cover, and X is the distance between the glass cover and the specimen

34、s. For example, if the specimens are 75mm below the glass, then all specimens shall be at least 150 mm from the top, bottom, and sides.6.1.5 The enclosure shall be capable of being oriented in a manner mutually agreed upon between interested parties. The testreport shall contain the orientation used

35、. Possible exposure orientations are:6.1.5.1 Fixed tilt angle, typically in the range of 5 to 45 degrees, with cabinet facing equator.6.1.5.2 Fixed tilt angle, typically 51 degrees, with tracking in rotation (azimuth).6.1.5.3 Tracking azimuth and elevation in order to maintain the exposure plane nor

37、ed parties may be used. In some instances, exposures facingdirectly away from the equator or some other specific direction may be desired.6.2 Glass Cover:6.2.1 The glass cover shall be flat glass of one of the following types:6.2.1.1 Clear Tempered GlassThe glass cover shall be non-laminated, temper

38、ed, clear flat glass having a nominal thicknessof 3 to 4 mm. The glass thickness used shall be included in the test report.6.2.1.2 Clear Laminated GlassThe glass cover shall be laminated, clear flat glass having a nominal thickness of 5.8 mm andcontaining a PVB (polyvinyl butyral) inner layer with a

39、n approximate thickness of 0.76 mm (.030(0.030 in.). This type of glassis typically used in automotive applications.6.2.1.3 Any other glass type as agreed upon between interested parties.6.2.2 Wash the exterior and interior surfaces of the glass cover every month (or more frequently, if required) to

40、 remove dustparticles and other undesirable material.6.2.3 It is recommended that the spectral transmittance of representative glass samples be measured. If transmittance ismeasured, report the average for at least three representative pieces of the lot of glass being used. Follow the instructions o

41、f theUV-visible spectrophotometer used for measurement of the glass. If a spectrophotometer with an integrating sphere is used, themeasurements shall be performed in accordance with Test Method E903.6.3 Black Panel Thermometer:6.3.1 For enclosures with a temperature-controlled circulating fan, one o

42、f the following black panel thermometer types shall beinstalled in the enclosure:6.3.1.1 Automotive Black PanelThe black panel thermometer shall be constructed of 0.60 6 0.06 mm (24 gauge) sheet steelwith dimensions of approximately 100 by 125 mm (4 by 5 in.). The exposed surface of the black panel

43、shall be primed and paintedwith black high heat spray paint.6.3.1.2 Specification G179 Black PanelThe black panel thermometer shall be constructed in accordance with the requirementsof Specification G179 with dimensions of approximately 100 by 125 mm (4 by 5 in.).6.3.1.3 The type of black panel ther

44、mometer used shall be described in the test report. Regardless of which type of black panelis used, the black panel is exposed parallel to the glass at the same respective depth from the surface of the glass as the exposedsurface of the test specimen. The panel must be mounted on 13 mm (12 in.) thic

45、k plywood, painted black, whose dimensions areat least 110 by 135 mm (438 by 538 in.) with a machined recess to allow space for the temperature sensor, thermocouple and theirrespective lead wires attached to the back of the black panel. The black panel must be fastened to the plywood with small scre

46、wsnear the corners of the panel. The black panel assembly shall be mounted in the plane of the test samples near the top edge of thesample mounting area no closer than 200 mm from the left or right edge of the glass cover as shown in Fig. 3.6.4 Circulating Fan:6.4.1 The test enclosure shall be equip

47、ped with a circulating fan which directs air between the top surface of specimens and theglass cover. This fan can be set to operate continuously during daylight hours, or based on the temperature reading from a blackpanel thermometer. The circulating fan shall be of sufficient air flow to maintain

48、the desired black panel temperature. Unlessotherwise specified, when the circulating fan is switched off and on based on the temperature of a black panel thermometer, setthe controller to turn on at the desired limit temperature and off at a temperature that is 3C less than the limit temperature.6.5

49、 Over Temperature Protection:6.5.1 Unless otherwise specified, test enclosures shall be equipped with over temperature protection to prevent specimenoverheating in the event of a fan failure. The over temperature protection shall be set to operate at a temperature no greater thanFIG. 3 Black Panel LocationG201 1646C above the limit temperature. The over temperature protection shall cover the test enclosure or change the enclosure orientationin order to prevent damage to specimens being exposed.6.6 Climatological Instruments:6.6.1 Within 1000 m of test enclos
