2、 of 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 test method covers the determination of the startingthreshold, delay distance, and overshoot ratio of a wind
3、 vanefrom direct measurements in a wind tunnel. This test method isapplicable only to wind vanes having measurable overshoot.1.2 This test method provides for determination of theperformance of a system consisting of a wind vane and itsassociated position-to-output transducer in wind tunnel flow.Use
4、 of values determined by this test method to describeperformance in atmospheric flow of a wind direction measur-ing system incorporating the vane must be done with anunderstanding of the differences between the two systems andthe two environments.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of
5、thesafety 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. Terminology2.1 Definitions:2.1.1 delay distance (D)the distance t

In practice, since deflections after the first (to the sideopposite the release point are normally small, the initial releasepoint (that is, the n = 0 deflection) and the first deflection af

Summary of Test Method3.1 Reference Direction (uo, degrees) is the indicatedang
11、ular position of the vane when aligned along the centerlineof the wind tunnel.3.2 Vane Equilibrium Position (uB, degrees) is the finalresting position of the vane after motion in response to aninitial displacement. Ideally, uB= uo.3.3 Dynamic Vane Bias (uB uo, degrees) is the displace-ment of the va
12、ne from the wind tunnel centerline at 5 m/s. Thismeasurement will identify wind vanes with unbalanced aero-dynamic response because of damage (for example, bent tail)or poor design.3.4 Starting Threshold (Uo, m/s) is determined by observ-ing or measuring the lowest speed at which the vane, releasedf
13、rom a 10 offset position in a wind tunnel, moves toward uB.Movement must be distinguishable from vibration.3.5 Delay Distance (D, m) may be determined at a numberof wind speeds but shall include 5 m/s and 10 m/s. It iscomputed from the time required for the vane to reach 50 % ofthe initial displacem

This time in seconds1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D22 on AirQuality and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D22.11 on Meteorology.Current edition approved Oct. 1, 2007.

16、 by the windtunnel speed in metres per second. Tests shall include an equalnumber of displacements to each side of uB.3.6 Overshoot Ratio (V) may be determined at the sametime as the delay distance.

Specifications by regulatoryagencies and industrial societies (3-5) have stipulated perfor-mance values. This test me
18、thod provides an unambiguousmethod for measuring starting threshold, delay distance, andovershoot ratio.5. Apparatus5.1 Wind Tunnel (6):5.1.1 SizeThe wind tunnel shall be large enough so thatthe total projected area of supports, sensor apparatus, and thevane in its displaced position is less than 5
19、% of the cross-sectional area of its test section.5.1.2 Speed RangeThe wind tunnel shall have a speedcontrol that will allow the flow rate to be varied from 0 to atleast 10 m/s. The speed control shall maintain the flow ratewithin 60.2 m/s.5.1.3 Turbulence and SwirlAcross the volume to beoccupied by
20、 the vane, the flow profile shall vary by no morethan 1 % about the mean speed and shall exhibit a turbulenceof less than 1 %. (Warning Swirl in the wind tunnel mayinfluence starting threshold measurements. Variations in themeasurement of uBa low speeds likely indicate the existence ofswirl.)5.1.4 C
21、alibrationThe mean flow rate shall be verified atthe mandatory speeds of 5 and 10 m/s by use of transferstandards that have been calibrated by the National Institute ofStandards and Technology (formerly called the National Bu-reau of Standards)3or by a fundamental physical method.5.1.4.1 Speeds belo
22、w 2 m/s for threshold determinationshall be verified by a sensitive anemometer or by somefundamental time and distance technique, such as measuringthe transition time of smoke puffs, soap bubbles, or heat puffsbetween two points separated by a known distance.5.1.5 EnvironmentThe temperature and pres
23、sure of theenvironment within the wind tunnel test section shall bereported. Differences of greater than 3 % in the density of airwithin the test environment may result in poor inter-comparability of independent measurements of starting thresh-old, delay distance, and overshoot ratio since these val
24、ues aredensity dependent.5.2 Measuring System:5.2.1 DirectionThe resolution of the wind vane position-tooutput transducer limits the resolution of the measure-ments. The accuracy of the positiontooutput conversion shallbe within 60.1. (WarningAvoid potentiometer dead spotsor crossover positions whil
25、e performing these procedures.)5.2.2 TimeThe resolution of time shall be consistent withthe distance accuracy required. For this reason, the timeresolution may be changed as the wind tunnel speed ischanged. For example, for a distance constant measurement to0.1 m, one must have a time resolution of
26、0.05 s at 2 m/s and0.01 s at 10 m/s. If time accuracy is based on commercialelectrical power frequency, it will be at least an order ofmagnitude better than the resolution suggested above.5.3 Signal ConditioningCare shall be taken to avoidelectronic circuits in signal conditioning and recording devi
27、cesthat adversely affect the apparent vane performance.(WarningTime constants in signal conditioning and record-ing devices shall be less than 0.01 s.)5.4 Recording TechniquesThe measuring or recordingsystem shall represent the 10 displacement on each side of uBwith a resolution of 0.2. One simple t
28、echnique is to use afast-response recorder (flat to 4060 Hz or better) with enoughgain so that a vane can be oriented in the wind tunnel with uBrepresented at mid-scale, and 610 of vane displacementtraversing the full span of the recorder.5.4.1 The recorder shall have a fast chart speed of 50 mm/sor
29、 more. An alternative is to use an FM tape recorder to recordthe signal. When played back at lower speed, a proportionatelyslower analog strip chart recorder yielding an equivalent50-mm/s chart speed is acceptable. Oscilloscopes with memoryand hard copy capability may also be used.5.4.2 Digital reco
30、rding and data reduction systems aresatisfactory if the sampling rate is at least 100 per second.6. Sampling6.1 Starting ThresholdTen consecutive tests at the samespeed meeting the test method requirement, five in eachdirection from uB, are required for a valid starting thresholdmeasurement.6.2 Dela
31、y Distance and Overshoot RatioThe arithmeticmean of ten tests, five in each direction from uB, is required fora valid measurement at each speed. The results of measure-ments at two or more speeds shall be averaged to a single valuefor delay distance and a single value for overshoot ratio.7. Procedur
32、e7.1 Dynamic Vane Bias:7.1.1 Set vane at tunnel centerline with no flow in the windtunnel.7.1.2 Adjust the wind tunnel to give a flow of 5 m/s.7.1.3 Measure the equilibrium vane position (uB) relative tothe tunnel centerline (uo). The angular difference, uB uois thedynamic vane bias.7.1.4 A dynamic
33、vane bias greater than 1 indicates poordesign or a problem with the vane. Appropriate correctionsshall be made before continuing.7.2 Starting Threshold:7.2.1 Provide a mechanical method for holding and releas-ing the vane at 10 6 1 from uB. With no flow in the windtunnel, verify that the vane moves
34、by no more than 60.5 whenthe release mechanism is activated.3Available from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), 100Bureau Dr., Stop 1070, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-1070, http:/www.nist.gov.D 5366 96 (2007)27.2.2 Adjust the wind tunnel to a speed expected to be lowerthan the starting
35、threshold. Displace the vane by 10 and thenrelease it by the procedure described in 7.2.1. Observe themotion of the vane, if any, and record the angle, relative to uB,where motion ceases. Increase the speed slightly and repeat thetest; continue in this manner until a speed is reached where thevane m
36、oves at least 1 toward uB.7.2.3 Using the speed determined in 7.2.2, displace the vaneby 10 and release it five consecutive times to one side of uB,observing and recording the angle where it stops each time.Repeat five times with the displacements to the other side ofuB.7.2.4 If all ten repetitions
37、result in the vane moving at least1 toward uB, the wind speed may be used as the startingthreshold in accordance with this test method. The average ofthe absolute angular displacement from uBon each side shouldbe calculated. The higher of the two is the accuracy at thethreshold speed.7.3 Delay Dista
38、nce:7.3.1 Set the wind tunnel speed at 5 m/s. Displace the vane10 from uBand release it by the method in 7.2.1. Take fourmore samples in the same direction and five samples in theopposite direction.7.3.2 Repeat the procedure of 7.3.1 with the wind tunnelspeed set a 10 m/s.7.3.3 If desired, repeat th
39、e procedure of 7.3.1 at other windtunnel speeds.7.3.4 For the ten samples taken at a tunnel speed, measurethe time from release to crossing 5 from uB(or 50 % of theactual release displacement, a nominal 10) for each of thesamples. Convert each of these times to a distance by multi-plying by the tunn
40、el speed. Average the distances to arrive at adelay distance for this speed.7.3.5 Repeat the procedure of 7.3.4 for ten samples taken ateach tunnel speed considered.7.3.6 Average the delay distances found in 7.3.4 and 7.3.5.The delay distance for each speed shall be within 10 % of thisaverage.NOTE 1
41、If the delay distance for any speed considered is outside610 % of the average, a delay distance for the vane cannot be specified.7.4 Overshoot Ratio:7.4.1 For each of the samples recorded for 7.3, read themaximum angular excursion on the opposite side of uBfromthe initial displacement.7.4.2 Form a r
42、atio by dividing each angular excursionobtained in 7.4.1 by the corresponding angular differencebetween the release angle and uB.Average these ratios to arriveat the overshoot ratio for the vane.8. Precision and Bias8.1 The accuracy in measurement of the wind tunnel speedlimits the accuracy of this
43、test method. An accuracy of 0.1 m/sis required.This shall be documented at the wind tunnel facilityand be related to measurements at NIST5by a report on thetransfer standard that carries the same accuracy limit.8.2 PrecisionUsing this equipment and procedure, anestimate of the precision of the test
