1、Designation: G 29 96 (Reapproved 2002)Standard Practice forDetermining Algal Resistance of Plastic Films1This standard is issued under the fixed designation G 29; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last rev

2、ision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscriptepsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers the determination of th

3、e suscepti-bility of plastic films to the attachment and proliferation ofsurface-growing algae.1.2 The values in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.The inch-pound units given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if a

4、ny, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Summary of Practice2.1 In this practice, test strips of plastic film are suspendedin glas

5、s jars maintained at room temperature. The test strips areexposed to fluorescent light and in direct contact with astandardized inoculum of the filamentous blue-green algaOscillatoria in culture medium. The sample test jars arereinoculated with fresh alga every second or third day. Acontrol using un

6、treated plastic film is used as a basis ofcomparison. The inoculum is prepared with the help of apropagation apparatus made from a small fish tank. The test isterminated at the end of two weeks, or whenever the test filmshows dense algal growth.3. Significance and Use3.1 Bodies of water, such as swi

7、mming pools, artificialponds, and irrigation ditches often are lined with plastic films.Algae tend to grow in such bodies of water under the properatmospheric conditions, and they can produce slimy andunsightly deposits on the film. The method described herein isuseful in evaluating the degree and p

8、ermanency of protectionagainst surface growth of algae afforded by various additivesincorporated in the film.4. Apparatus4.1 Propagation Tank2(see Fig. 1):4.1.1 A small fish tank (10 gal) is used to contain asimulated cooling tower, made of redwood slats, over whichculture medium is recirculated thr

9、ough a plastic tube with holespunched in the bottom. This design was developed in order toprovide ideal conditions for propagation of the algae that serveas inocula for each test. Three redwood slats are joined by twosupports in such a way that water cascades over each slat inturn from a distributor

10、 tube above the upper slat. A small, fullyimmersed recirculating pump3rests on the bottom of the tankand operates continuously to deliver the tank contents to thedistributor tube. The light required for algal propagation isprovided by a 100-W bulb placed 300 mm (12 in.) away fromthe redwood slats. A

11、 timing device turns the light on for 12 heach day.4.1.2 The propagation tank, that is used as the permanentsource of inoculum, is filled to approximately one-third capac-ity with the culture medium.4Heavy growth of Oscillatoriarapidly develops on the redwood tower and, at different phases,this grow

12、th appears light green, dark green, or black.4.2 Test Chambers (see Fig. 2):4.2.1 One-litre (1-qt) wide-mouth glass jars, 170 mm (634in.) high by 76 mm (3 in.) in inside diameter serve as testchambers wherein water containing an inoculum of the algalorganisms and strips of the plastic film are maint

13、ained incontact.4.2.2 The jars in 4.2.1 are placed in a 38-L (10-gal) fishtank, 508 by 267 by 305 mm (20 by 1012 by 12 in.) high, thatis illuminated by four 20-W “cool white” fluorescent bulbs,arranged two on each long side of the tank, at the level of thegrowing algae in the jars. The lamps are mou

14、nted on a bracketthat holds the outer surface of the bulbs 25 mm (1 in.) from thewall of the tank. The tank is filled with water to within 25 mm1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee G03 on Weatheringand Durability and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee G03.04 onBiologi

Then add 100 mL of this inoculum toeach test chamber containing either a test specimen or anuntreated control, and fill the jar with the culture medium.7.3 IncubationStore the inoculated test chambers underlight exposure for 12 h, then under darkness for 12 h,continually repeating this cycle

Introduce the inoculuminto the bottom of each test chamber, allowing the samevolume of old chamber water to flow over the top of thechamber. This is done in order to simulate
