The exposure used in this practice is notintended to simulate the deterioration caused by localizedweather phenomena

Therefore, no referenceto the use of this practice shall be made unless accompanied bya report prepared according to Section 10 that d

30、or the applications listed. Additional exposure cyclesare described in Practice G 154.BThe irradiance set point given is typical for devices operated without irradiance control. Other irradiance levels may be used, but must be described in the report.CPrevious editions of Practice D 4587 contained n
31、on-mandatory irradiance set points in Table 1 that were commonly used in the industry. The previous set points were0.72 and 0.77 W/(m2 nm) at 340 nm for UVA 340 lamps. The measurement data used to establish these set points was inaccurate, due to an error in calibration on thepart of one manufacture
32、r. It has been found that, for most users, the actual irradiance when running at the previous set points was 11 to 15 % higher than the indicatedset point. The set points shown in this edition of D 4587 do not change the actual irradiances that have been historically used by these users. However, fo
33、r users ofequipment made by another manufacturer, the irradiance control system did not have the measurement inaccuracies described above, so running at the new set pointswill represent a change in the actual irradiance of the test. If in doubt, users should consult the manufacturer of their device
34、for clarification.DTemperature is at equilibrium for either an uninsulated or insulated black panel, although the response of the insulated black panel might be slower than that for theuninsulated black panel. Refer to Practice G 151 for more information about the construction and differences betwee
35、n uninsulated and insulated black panels.ETypical uses do not imply that results from exposures of these materials according to the cycle described will correlate to those from actual use conditions.FSAE J2020 describes the test used in many automotive specifications and requires use of a FS40 fluor

This cycle may not adequately simulate the effects of outdoor exposure.D4587052material of known performance (a control) at the same time asthe test materials is strongly recommended. It is recommendedtha
37、t at least three replicates of each material be exposed toallow for statistical evaluation of results.4.4 Test results will depend upon the care that is taken tooperate the equipment according to Practice G 154. Significantfactors include regulation of line voltage, temperature of theroom in which t
38、he device operates, temperature control, andcondition and age of the lamps.4.5 All references to exposures in accordance with thispractice must include a complete description of the test cycleused.5. Apparatus5.1 Use of fluorescent UV apparatus that conform to therequirements defined in Practices G
39、151 and G 154 is requiredto conform to this practice.NOTE 4A fluorescent UV apparatus that complied with Practice G53also complies with Practice G 154.5.2 Unless otherwise specified, the spectral power distribu-tion of the fluorescent UV lamp shall conform to the require-ments in Practice G 154 for
40、a UVA 340 lamp.NOTE 5Fluorescent UV exposures described in SAE J2020 for auto-motive applications call for use of fluorescent UVB lamps.5.3 Test Chamber Location:5.3.1 Locate the apparatus in an area maintained between 18and 27C (65 and 80F). Measure ambient temperature at amaximum distance of 150 m
41、m (6 in.) from the plane door ofthe apparatus. Control of ambient temperature is particularlycritical when one apparatus is stacked above another, becausethe heat generated from the lower unit can interfere with theoperation of the units above.5.3.2 Place the apparatus at least 300 mm (12 in.) fromw
42、alls or other apparatus. Do not place the apparatus near a heatsource such as an oven.5.3.3 Ventilate the room in which the apparatus is located toremove heat and moisture.6. Hazards6.1 WarningIn addition to other precautions, never lookdirectly at the fluorescent UV lamp because UV radiation candam
43、age the eye. Turn the device off before removing panels forinspection.7. Test Specimens7.1 Apply the coating to flat (plane) panels with the sub-strate, method of preparation, method of application, coatingsystem, film thickness, and method of drying consistent withthe anticipated end use, or as mut
44、ually agreed upon betweenthe producer and user.7.2 Panel specifications and methods of preparation includebut are not limited to Practices D 609, D 1730, or SpecificationD 358. Select panel sizes suitable for use with the exposureapparatus.7.2.1 For specimens coated on insulating materials, such asf
45、oams, maximum specimen thickness is 20 mm in order toallow for adequate heat transfer for condensation.7.3 Coat test panels in accordance with Practices D 823,then measure the film thickness in accordance with an appro-priate procedure selected from Test Methods D 1005, D 1186,or D 1400. Nondestruct
46、ive methods are preferred becausepanels so measured need not be repaired.7.4 Prior to exposing coated panels in the apparatus, condi-tion them at 23 6 2C (73 6 3F) and 50 6 5 % relativehumidity for one of the following periods in accordance withthe type of coating:Baked coatings 24 hRadiation-cured
47、coatings 24 hAll other coatings 7 days7.4.1 Other procedures for preparation of test specimensmay be used if agreed upon by all interested parties.7.5 Mount specimens in holders so that only the minimumspecimen area required for support by the holder is covered.Do not use this covered area of the sp
48、ecimen as part of the testarea.7.6 Unless otherwise specified, expose at least three repli-cate specimens of each test and control material.7.7 Follow the procedures described in Practice G 147 foridentification and conditioning and handling of specimens oftest, control, and reference materials prio
49、r to, during, and afterexposure.7.8 Do not mask the face of a specimen for the purpose ofshowing on one panel the effects of various exposure times.Misleading results may be obtained by this method, since themasked portion of the specimen is still exposed to temperatureand humidity cycles that in many cases will affect results.7.9 Retain a supply of unexposed file specimens of allmaterials evaluated.7.9.1 When destructive tests are run, it is recommended thata sufficient number of file specimens be retained so that theproperty of interest can be determine
