7、pecificationD 5423.4. Significance and Use4.1 It is essential that ovens used for thermal evaluation ofinsulating materials be capable of maintaining uniform condi-tions of temperature and air circulation over the extendedperiods of time that are required for conducting these tests.Specification D 5
8、423 specifies the permissible deviations fromabsolute uniformity that have been generally accepted interna-tionally for these ovens. These test methods include proceduresfor measuring these deviations and other specified character-istics of the ovens.5. Apparatus5.1 Multi-Point Recording Potentiomet
9、er, having provisionsfor at least nine iron-constantan or chromel-alumel thermo-couples, with scale readings to 0.1C or less. Use of a dataprocessor or a data logger may be helpful in reducing thenumber of calculations required.5.2 Calibrated Iron-Constantan or Chromel-Alumel Ther-mocouples, using 0
10、.5-mm diameter or smaller wire and havinga junction size not over 2.5 mm long. If calibrated thermo-couples are not available, thermocouples made from a singlespool of thermocouple wire may be used provided that, whenplaced within 10 mm of each other without touching in an ovenchamber at 200C, they
11、give values for temperature that do notdiffer from each other by more than 0.2C.5.3 A temperature measuring system other than thermo-couples and a potentiometer may be used, provided that thesensitivity, accuracy, and response time are at least equivalentto that of the equipment described above, and
12、 that the objec-tives of 6.2.3 relative to minimization of heat conductioneffects can be met.5.4 Thermal Lag Time Specimen, consisting of a solid brasscylinder, 10 mm in diameter and 55 mm long, with onejunction of a differential thermocouple soldered to the surfacemidway between the ends. The other
13、 junction of the thermo-couple must be capable of being moved at least 80 mm awayfrom the brass cylinder. An appropriate temperature indicator(as in 5.1, or other) must be provided for indication oftemperature differences to the nearest 0.1C as measured by thedifferential thermocouple.5.5 Watt-Hour
14、Meter, of the appropriate voltage and phase,capable of reading to the nearest 1.0 Wh or less.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D09 onElectrical and Electronic Insulating Materials and are the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D09.17 on Thermal Characteristics.Curren

Procedures6.1 Rate of Ventilation:6.1.1 Summary of Test MethodThe rate of ventilation iscalculated using determinations of (1) the average powerrequired to maintain the oven at a given temperature with itsports open and (2) the average power required to maintain theoven at the same temperat
18、ure with its ports closed. The test isconducted at 100C and at the maximum temperature at whichthe oven may be used.6.1.2 Seal all openings into the oven, including, but notnecessarily limited to, the vent ports, door, thermometer ports,and the space around the blower shaft (if the blower motor ismo
19、unted externally).6.1.3 Install a watt-hour meter, as described in 5.5,intheoven electrical supply line.6.1.4 Install a temperature sensor, such as a thermometer, 2m to 3 m away from the oven, at least 1 m away from any solidobject, and approximately level with the oven air intake. Usethe oven tempe

When thetemperature of the oven has stabilized, measure the consump-tion of power over a measured period of 30 to 40 min. Beginand end the measuring period at corresponding points of thecy
21、clic temperature fluctuation; for example, the moment whenthe heaters are switched on by the thermostat in the case of an“on/off” control. Measure and record the room temperature,which must not vary by more than 2C during the test.6.1.6 Remove the seals to restore the oven to its normaloperating con
22、dition. If necessary, adjust the vents and dampersto positions estimated to provide the specified rate of ventila-tion.6.1.7 Repeat 6.1.5. The average ambient air temperaturemust be within 2C of the average ambient temperaturemeasured in 6.1.5.6.1.8 Calculate the rate of ventilation in the oven usin

Place one thermocouple in each of the eightcorners of the chamber 50 to 60 mm from each wall, and theninth thermocouple within 25 mm of the geometric center ofthe chamber. Leave at least 300 mm of wire for each thermo-couple within the oven chamber, in order to minim
