1、Designation: C1363 11Standard Test Method forThermal Performance of Building Materials and EnvelopeAssemblies by Means of a Hot Box Apparatus1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1363; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the

2、case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method establishes the principles for the designof a hot box apparatus and the

3、 minimum requirements for thedetermination of the steady state thermal performance ofbuilding assemblies when exposed to controlled laboratoryconditions. This method is also used to measure the thermalperformance of a building material at standardized test condi-tions such as those required in mater

4、ial Specifications C739,C764, C1224 and Practice C1373.1.2 This test method is used for large homogeneous ornon-homogeneous specimens. This test method applies tobuilding structures or composite assemblies of building mate-rials for which it is possible to build a representative specimenthat fits th

5、e test apparatus. The dimensions of specimenprojections or recesses are controlled by the design of the hotbox apparatus. Some hot boxes are limited to planar or nearlyplanar specimens. However, larger hot boxes have been used tocharacterize projecting skylights and attic sections. See 3.2 fora defi

6、nition of the test specimen and other terms specific to thismethod.NOTE 1This test method replaces Test Methods C236, the GuardedHot Box, and C976, the Calibrated Hot Box which have been withdrawn.Test apparatus designed and operated previously under Test MethodsC236 and C976 will require slight mod

7、ifications to the calibration andoperational procedures to meet the requirements of Test Method C1363.21.3 A properly designed and operated hot box apparatus isdirectly analogous to the Test Method C177 guarded hot platefor testing large specimens exposed to air induced temperaturedifferences. The o

8、peration of a hot box apparatus requires asignificant number of fundamental measurements of tempera-tures, areas and power. The equipment performing thesemeasurements requires calibration to ensure that the data areaccurate. During initial setup and periodic verification testing,each measurement sys

9、tem and sensor is calibrated against astandard traceable to a national standards laboratory. If the hotbox apparatus has been designed, constructed and operated inthe ideal manner, no further calibration or adjustment would benecessary.As such, the hot box is considered a primary methodand the uncer

10、tainty of the result is analyzed by direct evalua-tion of the component measurement uncertainties of theinstrumentation used in making the measurements.1.3.1 In an ideal hotbox test of a homogenous material thereis no temperature difference on either the warm or coldspecimen faces to drive a flankin

11、g heat flow. In addition, therewould be no temperature differences that would drive heatacross the boundary of the metering chamber walls. However,experience has demonstrated that maintaining a perfect guard/metering chamber balance is not possible and small correctionsare needed to accurately chara

12、cterize all the heat flow pathsfrom the metering chamber. To gain this final confidence in thetest result, it is necessary to benchmark the overall result of thehot box apparatus by performing measurements on specimenshaving known heat transfer values and comparing those resultsto the expected value

13、s.1.3.2 The benchmarking specimens are homogeneous pan-els whose thermal properties are uniform and predictable.These panels, or representative sections of the panels, have hadtheir thermal performance measured on other devices that aredirectly traceable or have been favorably compared to anational

14、standards laboratory. For example, a Test MethodC177 Hot Plate, a Test Method C518 Heat Meter or anotherTest Method C1363 Hot Box will provide adequate specimens.Note that the use of Test Method C518 or similar apparatuscreates additional uncertainty since those devices are calibratedusing transfer

15、standards or standard reference materials. Byperforming this benchmarking process, the hot box operator isable to develop the additional equations that predict themagnitude of the corrections to the net heat flow through thespecimen that account for any hot box wall loss and flankingloss. This bench

16、marking provides substantial confidence thatany extraneous heat flows can be eliminated or quantified withsufficient accuracy to be a minor factor of the overall uncer-tainty.1.4 In order to ensure an acceptable level of result uncer-tainty, persons applying this test method must possess aknowledge

20、 test method is intended for use at conditions typicalof normal building applications. The naturally occurring out-side conditions in temperate zones range from approximately48 to 85C and the normal inside residential temperatures isapproximately 21C. Building materials used to construct thetest spe

21、cimens shall be pre-conditioned, if necessary, basedupon the materials properties and their potential variability.The preconditioning parameters shall be chosen to accuratelyreflect the test samples intended use and shall be documentedin the report. Practice C870 may be used as a guide for testspeci

22、men conditioning. The general principles of the hot boxmethod can be used to construct an apparatus to measure theheat flow through industrial systems at elevated temperatures.Detailed design of that type of apparatus is beyond the scope ofthis method.1.6 This test method permits operation under nat

23、ural orforced convective conditions at the specimen surfaces. Thedirection of airflow motion under forced convective conditionsshall be either perpendicular or parallel to the surface.1.7 The hot box apparatus also is used for measurements ofindividual building assemblies that are smaller than the m

24、eter-ing area. Special characterization procedures are required forthese tests. The general testing procedures for these cases aredescribed in Annex A11.1.8 Specific procedures for the thermal testing of fenestra-tion systems (windows, doors, skylights, curtain walls, etc.) aredescribed in Test Meth

25、od C1199 and Practice E1423.1.9 The hot box has been used to investigate the thermalbehavior of non-homogeneous building assemblies such asstructural members, piping, electrical outlets, or constructiondefects such as insulation voids.1.10 This test method sets forth the general design require-ments

26、 necessary to construct and operate a satisfactory hot boxapparatus, and covers a wide variety of apparatus construc-tions, test conditions, and operating conditions. Detailed de-signs conforming to this standard are not given but must bedeveloped within the constraints of the general requirements.E

27、xamples of analysis tools, concepts and procedures used inthe design, construction, characterization, and operation of ahot box apparatus is given in Refs (1-34).31.11 The hot box apparatus, when constructed to measureheat transfer in the horizontal direction, is used for testingwalls and other vert

28、ical structures. When constructed to mea-sure heat transfer in the vertical direction, the hot box is usedfor testing roof, ceiling, floor, and other horizontal structures.Other orientations are also permitted. The same apparatus maybe used in several orientations but may require special designcapab

29、ility to permit repositioning to each orientation. What-ever the test orientation, the apparatus performance shall firstbe verified at that orientation with a specimen of knownthermal resistance in place.1.12 This test method does not specify all details necessaryfor the operation of the apparatus.

30、Decisions on materialsampling, specimen selection, preconditioning, specimenmounting and positioning, the choice of test conditions, and theevaluation of test data shall follow applicable ASTM testmethods, guides, practices or product specifications or govern-mental regulations. If no applicable sta

31、ndard exists, soundengineering judgment that reflects accepted heat transfer prin-ciples must be used and documented.1.13 This test method applies to steady-state testing anddoes not establish procedures or criteria for conducting dy-namic tests or for analysis of dynamic test data. However,several

32、hot box apparatuses have been operated under dynamic(non-steady-state) conditions after additional characterization(1). Additional characterization is required to insure that allaspects of the heat flow and storage are accounted for duringthe test. Dynamic control strategies have included both peri-

33、odic or non-periodic temperature cycles, for example, to followa diurnal cycle.1.14 This test method does not permit intentional masstransfer of air or moisture through the specimen duringmeasurements. Air infiltration or moisture migration can alterthe net heat transfer. Complicated interactions an

34、d dependenceupon many variables, coupled with only a limited experience intesting under such conditions, have made it inadvisable toinclude this type testing in this standard. Further considerationsfor such testing are given in Appendix X1.1.15 This standard does not purport to address all of thesaf

35、ety concerns, if any, 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.
