1、Designation: D 2898 07Standard Practice forAccelerated Weathering of Fire-Retardant-Treated Wood forFire Testing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2898; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year o

2、f last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers the durability of a fire-retardanttreatment of wood under exposure to accelerated weathering.T

3、wo conditioning methods are described, both suitable forapplication to a test specimen prior to subjecting that specimento an appropriate fire test.1.2 This practice is applicable to wood products that havebeen treated with fire-retardant chemicals by pressure impreg-nation.1.3 The test specimens ar

4、e to be in the form of, or suitablefor fabrication into, test specimens , such as those described inTest Test Methods E84, E 108, and E 1354 and other standardtest methods for evaluating the fire performance of fire-retardant-treated wood products.1.4 The text of these test methods references notes

5、andfootnotes that provide explanatory material. These notes andfootnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not beconsidered as requirements of these test methods.1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.

Significance and Use4.1 These test methods provide a choice between twomethods

9、of exposing fire-retardant-treated wood products orassemblies to controlled accelerated weathering or condition-ing.4.2 The conditioning simulates effects of leaching, drying,temperature and, in one method, ultraviolet light.4.3 Method A is the method normally specified for regula-tory purposes when

10、 testing fire-retardant-treated wood that isintended for exterior applications.5. Apparatus5.1 The test apparatus shall be capable of subjecting thespecimen uniformly to the test conditions described in Section7.5.2 No special means of protecting the specimen back andedges are required, but water sh

Waterspray nozzles shall be provided and arranged so as to distributewater evenly over the exposed specimen surface.5.3 Heating shall be thermostatically con

12、trolled. Forced airmovement shall be uniform across the specimen surface, withprovisions made for adequate air changes to assure thoroughdrying.5.4 In Method B, ultraviolet light shall be distributed asevenly as possible over the specimen surface, using sunlamps31These test methods are under the jur

16、hereof.6. Test Specimen6.1 The test specimen shall include all those essential partsof the corresponding fire test specimen that may be subjectedto weather exposure in normal use. Shingles or shakes shall beapplied to their intended sheathing.NOTE 1Specimens may be mounted in sections that can be re

17、as-sembled subsequently without trimming into the appropriate fire testspecimen.6.2 The specimen surface shall have a slope of 4 in 12 inMethod A. For Method B, the surface shall have a sloperanging from 4 in 12 minimum to 8 in 12 maximum.7. Exposure Cycle7.1 Method A:7.1.1 Subject the specimens to

18、an exposure cycle consistingof twelve one-week cycles. Each cycle is to consist of 96 h ofwater exposure and 72 h of drying.7.1.2 Apply water in a moderately fine spray uniformly overthe exposed specimen surfaces by spray nozzles that deliver anaverage of 0.7 in. (17.8 mm) of water per hour (0.0073g

19、al/minft2(0.30 L/minm2) of specimen surface) at a tempera-ture between 35 and 60F (2 and 16C). Do not recirculate thewater (see Note 2).7.1.3 Dry at a thermostatically controlled temperature of135 to 140F (57 to 60C). The controlling temperature shallbe the air temperature measured 1 in. (25.4 mm) a

20、bove thespecimen surface. Accompany drying with air movementdirected across the face of the specimens at a rate of at least 25ft/min (7.62 m/min).7.1.4 At the end of each cycle, change the position of eachspecimen within the apparatus so that each specimen orsegment occupies approximately an equal n

21、umber of cycles ineach location used.7.2 Method B:7.2.1 Subject the specimen to a 24-h exposure cycle con-sisting of 4 h wetting, 4 h drying, 4 h wetting, 4 h drying, and8 h rest. Repeat this cycle for a total of 1000 h.7.2.2 Apply water in a moderately fine spray uniformly overthe exposed specimen

22、surface at a rate of 0.3 6 0.02 gal/minft2(12.2 6 0.8 L/minm2) of specimen surface. The tem-perature shall not exceed 90F (32C). During the first threecycles, drain all water rather than recirculate it. In eachsubsequent wetting period, circulate a volume of at least 5 gal(18 L) of fresh water throu

23、gh each spray head.NOTE 2Water quality may be important in some cases, especially pHand hardness, and should be noted.7.2.3 Dry at a temperature of 150 6 5F (63 6 3C), withthis temperature attained within 15 min from the start ofdrying. The controlling temperature shall be the air tempera-ture 1 in.

24、 (25.4 mm) above the specimen surface. Obtain thetemperature by bare thermocouples or other temperature sen-sors that are protected from the direct radiation of the lamps bya shield not larger than 2 in.2(1290 mm2). Accompany dryingwith air movement directed across the face of the specimen ata rate

25、of at least 25 ft/min (7.62 m/min). Exposure to theultraviolet sunlamps shall be continuous throughout the dryingperiod.7.2.4 At the end of one or more cycles, change the positionof the specimens within the apparatus so that each specimen orsegment occupies approximately an equal number of cycles in

26、each location used.8. Conditioning8.1 Upon completion of the prescribed exposure, the speci-men shall be conditioned in accordance with the applicable firetest standard.9.

27、X1.1 Method A was devised for larger specimens, andMethod B for smaller ones.X1.2 Method B was developed by the USDA, ForestService, Forest Products Laboratory. The method and theexposure chamber commonly associated with Method B aredescribed in various publications of that laboratory.X1.3 A researc

28、h study showed that the two exposuremethods, A and B, were equivalent in leaching effect asdemonstrated by the flame-spread results obtained on speci-mens exposed by either method when tested for flame spread.44“Correlation of ASTM Exposure Tests for Evaluating Durability of Fire-Retardant Treatment
