18、test underconsideration.4.4 There can be large differences among various singlestrength window glasses in their transmission in the 300 to 350nm region. For example, at 320 nm, the percent transmissionfor seven different lots of single strength window glass rangedfrom 8.4 to 26.8 %. For this range o

19、f transmission, the rate ofdegradation for materials sensitive to short wavelength UVfrom 300 to 320 nm could vary by as much as 300 %.64.5 Differences in UV transmission between different lots ofglass persist after solarization. The largest differences amongwindow glasses in UV transmission are in

20、the spectral range of300 to 320 nm. Use of radiant exposure based on total solarradiation or total solar UV radiation to determine exposureperiods is not sensitive to these differences. For materials verysensitive to differences in short wavelength UV radiation,monitoring UVB radiation behind glass

21、may be the bestapproach for use when radiant energy is used to determine thelength of exposures. However, for materials sensitive to longwavelength UV or visible radiation, monitoring UVB radiationor using reference materials that are very sensitive to shortwavelength solar ultraviolet radiation to

22、determine exposureperiods may produce erroneous results.4.6 This practice is best used to compare the relativeperformance of materials tested at the same time behind thesame lot of glass. Because of variability between lots of glassand between exposures conducted at different times of the year,compa

23、ring the amount of degradation in materials exposed forthe same duration or radiant exposure at separate times, or inseparate fixtures using different lots of glass is not recom-mended.4.7 It is strongly recommended that at least one controlmaterial be exposed with each test. The control material sh

24、ouldbe of similar composition and construction. and be chosen sothat its failure modes are the same as that of the material beingtested. It is preferable to use two control materials, one withrelatively good durability, and one with relatively poor dura-bility. If control materials are included as p

25、art of the test, theyshall be used for the purpose of comparing the performance ofthe test materials relative to the controls.4.8 There are other standards which describe exposures toglass filtered daylight. Three cited standards are ISO 105-B01,ISO 877, and AATCC 16C.4.9 Because of the possibility

26、that certain materials mayoutgas during exposure, it is recommended that only similarmaterials be exposed in the same under glass cabinet.5. Apparatus5.1 Exposure Cabinet:5.1.1 Type AExposures shall be conducted in a glass-covered enclosure or cabinet of any convenient size. It shall beconstructed o

27、f wood, metal, or other satisfactory material, inorder to protect the specimens from rain and weather, and shallbe open on the back or sides to allow ambient air to circulateover the specimens (Fig. 1a and b).6Ketola, W.

29、sure Cabinet, Type B(Black Box Under Glass)G240525.1.2 Type B (Black Box Under Glass)Exposures shall beconducted in a glass-covered enclosure or cabinet of anyconvenient size. It shall be constructed of corrosion resistantmetal and be enclosed to prevent ambient air from circulatingover specimens. E

30、xterior non-glass surfaces shall be paintedflat black. The interior shall remain unpainted (Fig. 2).NOTE 1The black box under glass test method is often used tosimulate under glass exposures under conditions of high temperature, suchas the interior of an automobile. However, because black box under

31、glasscabinets are enclosed, air temperatures may exceed 80C under conditionsof high outside ambient air temperature and solar irradiance. In addition,significant differences in air and specimen temperatures can be experi-enced between upper and lower portions of the cabinet. Frequenttemperature meas

32、urement and specimen repositioning may be required toproperly use this test method.5.1.3 Unless otherwise specified the glass cover shall be apiece of non-laminated, transparent flat glass, greenhousequality Q4 or better as specified in section 4.1 of SpecificationC 1036. Glass thickness shall be 2

33、to 3.2 mm.5.1.3.1 In order to reduce variability due to changes in UVtransmission of glass, all new glass shall be exposed facing theequator, at any convenient exposure tilt angle within the rangeof 5 to 45, according to Practice G7, or on an empty underglass exposure cabinet, for at least three mon

34、ths prior toinstallation in test cabinets.5.1.3.2 After the three-month pre-exposure period, it isrecommended that the spectral transmittance of representativesamples from each lot of glass be measured. Typically, “singlestrength” glass will have a transmittance of 10 to 20 % at 320nm and at least 8

35、5 % at wavelengths of 380 nm or higher afterthe three month pre-aging procedure. If transmittance of theglass is measured, report the average for at least three pieces ofthe lot of glass being tested. Follow the instructions formeasurement of transmittance of solid samples recommendedby the manufact

36、urer of the UV-visible spectrophotometer used.If a spectrophotometer with an integrating sphere is used, themeasurements shall be performed in accordance with TestMethod E 903.NOTE 2Other standards describing exposures behind glass havedifferent requirements for glass transmittance and do not requir

37、e pre-aging.NOTE 3After the initial pre-aging period, the UV transmission ofwindow glass is suitable for at least 60 months of use. UV transmissiondifferences between lots of glass persist during this time, however.Different pieces of single-strength window glass can have different opticalproperties

38、 even if purchased from the same manufacturer.5.1.3.3 Wash the exterior surface of the glass cover everymonth, and the interior surface of the glass cover every 3months (or more frequently, if required) to remove dustparticles and other undesirable material.5.1.4 The enclosure or cabinet shall be eq

39、uipped with a rackwhich supports the specimens in a plane parallel to the glass.Whenever possible, the specimens should be supported at adistance of 75 6 25 mm (3 6 1 in.). Formed specimens withirregular dimensions may require custom mounting with vary-ing distances from the glass cover. In such cas

40、es, mount the testsample surface of major interest parallel to the glass cover at adistance of 75 6 25 mm (3 6 1 in.) from the glass cover. Themounting frame or plate shall be constructed of a material thatis compatible with the test specimens. In order to minimizeshadowing from the top and sides of

41、 the cabinet, the usableexposure area under the glass shall be limited to that of theglass cover reduced by twice the distance from the cover to thespecimens. Three types of mounting frames or backings maybe used.5.1.4.1 Unbacked or Open MountingSpecimens are at-tached only at edges.5.1.4.2 Expanded

42、 Aluminum MountingSpecimens are at-tached to an expanded aluminum backing.5.1.4.3 Solid MountingSpecimens are attached to a solidbacking such as plywood.NOTE 4The method used to mount specimens shall be related to theirend-use. In evaluating the specimens, the edges of these specimens thatare used t

43、o secure the specimen to the framework should be disregarded.5.1.5 The cabinet shall be located where it will receivedirect sunlight throughout the day and where shadows ofobjects in the vicinity will not fall upon it. When the cabinet isinstalled over grass, the distance between the bottom of theca

44、binet and the ground shall be sufficient to prevent contactwith plant growth, or to minimize damage that might occurduring maintenance.5.1.6 The glass cover and the test specimens shall beoriented in a manner mutually agreed upon between interestedparties. The angle shall be reported in the results

45、of the test.Possible exposure orientations are listed as follows:5.1.6.1 Fixed tilt angle equal to the latitude of the exposuresite with cabinet facing equator,5.1.6.2 Tilt angle of 45 facing the equator,5.1.6.3 Tilt angle of 5 facing the equator,5.1.6.4 Tracking azimuth and tilt angle in order to m

46、aintainthe exposure plane normal to the suns direct beam.5.1.6.5 Any other angle that is mutually agreed on by allinterested parties may be used. In some instances, exposuresfacing directly away from the equator or some other specificdirection may be desired. The test report shall contain the exacta

49、ull-spectrum so-lar radiant exposure shall consist of a pyranometer connectedto an integrating device to indicate the total energy receivedover a given period. The pyranometer shall be sensitive to solarirradiance received at a geometry similar to that over whichsolar irradiance is received by the test specimens. The pyra-nometer shall be a World Meteorological Organization (WMO)Second Class instrument or better as defined by the WMOGuide to Meteorological Instruments. The pyranometer shallbe calibrated in accordance with Method E 824 no less oftenG24053than annua
