10、 CoatingsUsing Controlled Condensation23. Summary of Practice3.1 Coated specimens are placed in an enclosed chambercontaining a heated, saturated mixture of air and water vapor.The temperature of the chamber is usually maintained at 38C(100F). At 100 % relative humidity (RH), a very smalltemperature
11、 difference between the specimen and the surround-ing vapor causes the formation of condensation on the speci-mens. The exposure condition is varied by selecting theduration of the test. Water permeates the coating at rates thatare dependent upon the characteristics of the coating. Anyeffects such a
12、s color change, blistering, loss of adhesion,softening, or embrittlement are observed and reported.4. Significance and Use4.1 Water can cause the degradation of coatings, so knowl-edge of how a coating resists water is helpful in predicting itsservice life. Failure in tests at 100 % relative humidit
13、y may becaused by a number of factors including a deficiency in thecoating itself, contamination of the substrate, or inadequatesurface preparation. This practice is therefore useful for evalu-ating coatings alone or complete coating systems.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee

16、d for specifica-tion acceptance, quality control, and research and developmentof coatings and substrate treatments. These tests usually resultin a pass or fail determination, but the degree of failure mayalso be measured. A coating system is considered to pass ifthere is no evidence of water-related
17、 failure after a period oftime.4.3 Results obtained from the use of 100 % humidity tests inaccordance with this practice should not be represented asbeing equivalent to a period of exposure to water in the naturalenvironment, until the degree of quantitative correlation hasbeen established for the c
18、oating or coating system.4.4 The test chamber can be a small laboratory cabinet or aroom large enough to hold an automobile or a truck.

Test Specimens6.1 This practice does not cover the preparation of testspecimens. The substrate composition and surface p
21、reparation,specimen preparation, and the number of specimens should beagreed upon prior to testing.NOTE 2Applicable methods for the preparation of test panels andsubstrates are given in Practices D 609 and D 1730. Practices D 823 coverapplication techniques for the production of uniform films.6.2 It
22、s recommended that a control specimen of a paintwith known durability be included with each test. Such controlspecimens can provide warning of changes in test severity in agiven apparatus, and can indicate variations in test severitybetween different apparatuses.6.3 Its recommended that at least two
23、 replicate specimensof each different coating be used, so as to compensate forvariations between specimens and variations in test conditionswith the apparatus.7. Procedure7.1 Fill the water tank with reagent water conforming toType IV of Specification D 1193. Tap water should not be used.7.2 Adjust
24、the temperature of the saturated air and watervapor mixture to 38 6 2C (100 6 4F).NOTE 3Due to heat loss to the specimens and the walls of thechamber, the temperature of the water in the tank will be above thetemperature of the air and water vapor mixture.7.3 Support the specimens approximately 15 f
25、rom thevertical. Slotted wood supports are suitable for flat specimens.Provide for formation of condensation on the specimens byspacing them at least 30 mm apart. Space the specimens sothey do not touch each other, any metallic material, or anymaterial capable of acting as a wick. Arrange specimens
26、so thatcondensate from one specimen cannot drip on other specimens.7.4 Droplets of condensation should appear evenly on thespecimen at all times if the chamber is operating properly. Thechamber should be mapped throughout the exposure zone toavoid areas where condensation does not occur on the panel
27、sand reduce variability in the test. Operate the test continuouslywith the test chamber closed unless otherwise specified. Shortinterruptions to inspect or remove specimens are permitted, butsuch interruptions should occur no more than once each day.7.5 To control for variability within the apparatu
28、s, reposi-tion the specimens on a regular basis so that all specimensspend equivalent amounts of time in the various areas of theapparatus (front, back, left, right, and center).7.6 Conclude the test after a specified period of time or aftereffects from exposure to water are observed.7.7 Wipe the te
29、st specimens dry. Rate specimens forchanges in color, blistering, etc. Evaluate specimens no lessthan 5 min and no more than 10 min after removal from test,as the effects from water exposure can change within a shorttime. Remove only as many specimens as can be rated withinthe specified time.NOTE 4
30、Relevant procedures for evaluating water effects are de-scribed in Test Methods D 610, D 714, D 1654, D 2616, D 3359, D 3363,and D 4541.7.7.1 If possible, rate the specimens again after they havebeen removed from the test for a recovery period long enoughthat moisture absorbed within the specimens d
31、ries out and thespecimens reach moisture equilibrium with room air. A recov-ery period from 12 to 24 h is generally sufficient. Thepost-recovery rating allows evaluation of the permanent effectsof the exposure as distinct from the transient effects, and isespecially important for evaluation of color
32、 and gloss.8.

ApparatusA1.1 The apparatus must be constructed so that heatedwater vapor is generated at the bottom of the chamber. Thissaturates the air immediately above the water tank with watervapor. The saturated mixture of wa
34、ter vapor and air tempera-ture rises and then cools below the dew point, causingcondensation on the specimens. Two types of apparatus havebeen found to meet the requirements of this practice. One typeuses a water tank with an electric immersion heater, and theother uses a submerged air distribution
35、pipe.A1.2 In chambers using a water tank with electric immer-sion heater to supply heat and humidity, the area of the heatedwater tank should be limited to no more than 25 % of the floorarea of the chamber. The use of a large heated water tank wouldtend to make the temperature within the chamber uni
36、form, andthus inhibit or prevent the formation of condensate on thespecimens. The water temperature will be approximately from5 to 10C (10 to 20F) above the vapor temperature when thewater tank and chamber are properly proportioned.A1.3 In chambers using a water jacket to supply heat andhumidifying
37、tower (optional) and submerged air distributionpipe to supply humidity, the water level in the chamber shouldbe approximately 15 cm (6 in.) above the bottom of thechamber. The level of water in the heating jacket should beapproximately 30 cm (12 in.) above the bottom of the chamber.Samples must be p
38、laced at a level above the water in theheating jacket to insure proper condensation. Air pressure tothe humidifying tower should be approximately 7 to 14 kPa (1to 2 psi).A1.4 Insulation of the enclosure is not required and canpossibly interfere with the formation of condensate by reducingthe tempera
39、ture differential within the chamber. It is difficult toproduce condensation with small chambers because the tem-perature differential is slight.A1.5 Large walk-in chambers may require more than oneheated water tank to generate the convective currents needed tocause condensation at all points within
40、 the chamber. Circulat-ing fans should be used with caution as their use may reducethe temperature differential and limit condensation.A1.6 In a properly operating chamber, condensation isobserved on the specimens or parts when the chamber isopened for inspections. It may be necessary to avoid placi
41、ngspecimens in the lower portion of the chamber as the tempera-ture differentials at the lower levels may be too small to inducecondensation.A1.7 In the event that enough condensation does not occur,or condensation does not form at all the desired points, it ispossible to increase condensation by tu
42、rning off the waterheater periodically to cause temperature fluctuations.A1.8 Many variations in the design of the apparatus arepossible in the use of this practice.
