Summary of Practice4.1 This practice is used to accelerate long-term weathering effects by subjecting the samples

16、 to concentrated natural sunlight(with periodic daytime surface water spray) plus a soak-freeze-thaw cycle.4.2 This practice has been useful in accelerating finish failure involving loss of film integrity, such as cracking, peeling, andflaking of factory-coated embossed hardboard.5. Significance and

17、 Use5.1 The ability to quickly and accurately evaluate and predict long-term weathering performance of factory-applied coatings isof paramount importance in making sound business and technical decisions.5.2 It is important to include control specimens of known field performance to determine the effi

18、cacy of this practice for specificsubstrate(s) and coating system(s). These control specimens may include materials known to possess acceptable and unacceptablefield performance for the defect(s) under consideration.5.3 Results derived from this practice are best used to compare the relative perform

19、ance of materials tested at the same timein the same device.5.4 The inclusion of control specimens and their resulting data will assist in dealing with test variability caused by seasonal orannual variations in important climatic factors.5.5 Extensive research was performed during the development of

20、 this standard practice. This research showed that this practiceis not useful for determination of quantitative acceleration factors. However, this test is very useful as a comparative test.5.6 A minimum of two replicates for both control specimens and test specimens is recommended to allow statisti

21、cal evaluationof results. Refer to Practice G169 for additional guidance on establishing the number of replicates.6. Apparatus and Materials6.1 Test Machines, as illustrated in a figure titled “Schematic of a Fresnel Reflecting Concentrator Accelerated WeatheringMachine” of Practice G90 and describe

22、d in Apparatus Section of Practice G90.6.2 Freezer, capable of maintaining a temperature of 20 6 5C (4 6 9F). The freezer shall be equipped with a thermocoupleto monitor air temperature.6.3 Mounting Board, paper-faced marine grade wood structural panel, surface routed to accept the test specimens du

23、ringexposure (see Fig. 1).7. Test Specimens7.1 Recommended specimen size is 5 by 13 by maximum 1.3 cm 50 mm by 130 mm by maximum 13 mm thick (2 by 5 bymaximum 12 in.). in. thick).7.2 Attach the specimen to the mounting board. One method to accomplish this is to apply exterior grade silicone adhesive

24、 tothe center of each specimen. Use cotton gloves to press the specimen into the mounting plate. Other mounting techniques, agreedupon between the testing laboratory and the client are possible.7.3 Useful results have been achieved when specimen edges and backs remain unsealed.8. Procedures8.1 One p

25、rocedure recommended is in Practice G90.8.2 Soak-Freeze-Thaw Procedure : Procedure:8.2.1 Following daily exposure in the Fresnel reflecting concentrator accelerated weathering machine in Practice G90, Cycle 1,the mounting plate with specimens is removed and immersed in a deionized water soak tank ma

26、intained at 25 6 5C (77 6 9F)for at least 1 h but not more than 1 h 15 min. If the board containing specimens floats in the immersion tank, the board may haveto be inserted upside down for the specimens to be completely immersed in water. A minimum exposure of 1 MJ/m2 of ultravioletradiation as meas

27、ured per Practice G90 constitutes a daily cycle. If a minimum of 1 MJ/m2 of ultraviolet radiation (295 to 385 nm)is not accumulated in one day of exposure, the specimens are to be left on the apparatus and are not to be immersed or frozen thatday. This exposure day does not constitute one test cycle

28、. Continue with the exposure the following morning.8.2.2 After soak, the plate with specimens is placed for a minimum of 12 h and a maximum of 15 h in a freezer maintainedat 20 6 5C (4 6 9F). The following morning, allow the samples to thaw for a minimum of 1 h under laboratory ambientconditions.NOT

29、E 1Because the start of the accelerated weathering after thawing can be delayed due to weather, the precise time of the thaw portion of the cyclecannot be specified.D5722 1428.2.3 The plate with specimens is remounted on the exposure device as prescribed in Practice G90.8.2.4 The completion of 8.2.1

30、, 8.2.2, and 8.2.3 constitutes one test cycle. Report test results after 30 cycles or other agreed upontime period.8.2.5 At least every week, replace the water used for soaking test panels with new deionized water.9. Test Evaluation9.1 Applicable criteria for weathering evaluation may include, but a

31、re not limited to, the following test methods: chalking (TestMethods D4214), checking (Test Method D660), cracking (Test Method D661), discoloration, erosion (Test Method D662), facefiber swelling, flaking (Test Method D772), and intercoat adhesion.9.2 Testing laboratory and client shall agree upon

32、evaluation criteria, using applicable standards, and evaluation frequency.9.3 The use of control specimens for specific weathering criteria is strongly suggested.9.4 Initial pre-exposure inspection of all samples must be conducted to document any pre-existing surface imperfection.10.
