2、edes applicable laws and regulations. Note: In the event of conflict between the English and domestic language, the English language shall take precedence. 1.1 Purpose. This standard describes the procedures for evaluating the outdoor weathering properties of materials used on the exterior of the ve

3、hicle. These include paint materials, miscellaneous finishing materials for components or assemblies, and abrasion resistant optical finishes for lenses. 1.2 Foreword. Not applicable. 1.3 Applicability. Not applicable. 1.4 Specimen exposure should duplicate the most severe conditions that may occur.

4、 Unless otherwise indicated by the responsible engineer, Procedure 1 is used for all paint materials (liquid, powder or laminated films); Procedure 2 is used for applied parts and components and special paint or coating evaluations; and Procedure 3 is used for clear lens coatings. There will be no s

5、ubstitution of other types of exposure apparatus from that specified by the responsible engineer. 1.5 Procedure 1: Black Box exposure at a fixed angle of 5 degrees from horizontal facing due south. The paint or coating is applied to 100 300 mm metal or plastic panels for exposure. Flexible test samp

6、les or small samples such as emblems may be mounted to metal panels by any method which will ensure that they remain attached throughout the specified exposure period. 1.6 Procedure 2: Special Tests. These are established on an as-needed basis by the responsible engineer to duplicate end-use conditi

7、ons. Examples are in-service position of large assemblies or components that cannot be accommodated on the black box; evaluation of coatings or metal treatments (anodizing, chrome plating, etc.) at exposure angles other than 5 degrees south; use of different types of exposure racks and conditions (i

8、.e., 45 degrees south plush salt water spray to duplicate corrosion conditions, or open rack exposure as described in SAE J1976). Other examples are test apparatus that track the sun with mirrors with/without additional water spray. 1.7 Procedure 3: Open Rack (direct weathering) at 45 degrees to the

9、 horizontal facing south. Requires 3 year weathering of plastics materials, used for optical lenses and reflectors of motor vehicle lighting equipment, as specified in the Outdoor Exposure Test specified in 49 CFR 571.108. 2 References Note: Only the latest approved standards are applicable unless o

All paint or coatings for exposure on typical racks should

28、 be applied to 100 300 mm flat metal or plastic panels. For proper placement in the Black Box, panels must have 300 mm as one dimension. If plastic plaques are smaller than specified, mount them on metal panels of proper dimension, as indicated in 1.5. 4.1.1.3.1 Flat Panels. Typical exposure racks w

29、ill shield a portion of both top and bottom of test samples. Panels for paint material testing (Procedure 1) must have a 64 mm section at the top shielded from direct sunlight by the flap that is part of the exposure rack (Figure 1). For Black Box exposure, ensure that the entire rack surface is cov

30、ered with panels to maintain maximum temperatures. Non-test panels are used to fill the box if there are insufficient test samples. Any additional instructions or deviations from standard procedure will be provided by the responsible engineer to address requirements of other finishing materials. 4.1

31、.1.3.2 Parts, Components. When testing in accordance with Procedure 2, assemblies, components, or specific test materials may require an expanded metal or solid backing for support or to more closely simulate end user applications. When required, 3 mm holes may be placed 6 mm in from each corner of

32、the specimen to affix it to the rack so that it can freely expand and contract. (Size and placement of the holes may be adjusted to fit a specific sample). Specific instructions must be obtained from the responsible engineer for mounting procedures, exposure method and masking requirements. 4.2 Cond

34、ons are given, the following procedure will be followed for test specimens: 4.3.1.1 Clean all specimens monthly by flushing thoroughly with clean water at the end of the morning dew formation. 4.3.1.2 Prior to evaluation, thoroughly flush the entire surface of the sample with clean, clear tap water

35、to remove surface deposits which may damage the test surface during the washing process. 4.3.1.3 Wash the entire panel (or part) using a soft sponge and a mild liquid detergent, such as Ivory, Joy, or equivalent in a distilled or deionized water solution (ratio 5:95). 4.3.1.4 Rinse entire panel with

36、 clean water and dry with clean, compressed air or pat dry with a clean, lint-free, nonabrasive cloth after each exposure interval as specified in the pertinent specification (or as specified by the responsible engineer). 4.3.1.5 Panels and parts must be evaluated and the results reported. 4.3.1.6 F

40、ive ratings are used depending on the characteristic rated. Subjective characteristics (Table 1) can be Qualitative (appearance properties); Quantitative (degree of defect); or Frequency (how many defects). When an initial rating is required, measurements must be made on the same test surface before

41、 and after exposure. The rating areas in Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 are specified for painted panels. When required for parts or other finishing materials, similar locations will be used for rating unless otherwise specified by the responsible engineer. Note: For accuracy, instrumental readings

42、 on parts must be made on flat sections. Low magnification (5 to 7X) may be used to confirm and classify defects.
