Terminology3.1 The terms given in Terminology D883 are applicable tothis test method.4. Significance and Use4.1 Because of the wide variety of potential uses of rigidcellular plastics, a
7、rtificial exposure to estimate the effectivebehavior of these materials must be based, to a great extent, onthe intended application. Toward this end, this test method isintended to recommend a variety of conditions from which oneor more of the desired exposure conditions can be selected.(Note 3)4.2
8、 The conditions recommended in this test method havebeen widely used in artificially exposing rigid cellular plasticsand in determining the effects of various temperatures andhumidities on these materials. Final test measurements aredetermined after the specimens return to room temperature.Where spe
9、cified, the specimens will be tested at the exposurecondition, but must be reported as such.4.3 Dimensional changes measured by this test method canbe used to compare the performance of materials in a particularenvironment, to assess the relative stability of two or morecellular plastics, or to spec
10、ify an acceptance criterion for aparticular material. The results of this test method are notsuitable for predicting end-use product performance orcharacteristics, nor are they adequate for engineering or designcalculations.NOTE 3Where thermal shock is known or suspected to occur due torapid heating
11、 to (or cooling from) a particular temperature, guidance onthe permissible heating or cooling rates, or both, shall be obtained fromthe manufacturer of the material concerned.NOTE 4The dimensional change of a specimen can vary dependingupon the age of the sample or the length of time between specime
12、npreparation and the beginning of the test, or both.4.4 Before proceeding with this test method, reference shallbe made to the specification of the material being tested. Anytest specimen preparation, conditioning, dimensions, or testingparameters covered in the materials specification, or combina-t
13、ion thereof, shall take precedence over those mentioned in thistest method. If there are no specifications, then the defaultconditions apply.5.
