For an explanation of general units, symbols andconversion factors, refer to Practice D1914.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 For the purposes
24、of this standard, the following termsand definitions apply.3.2.2 emission cella portable device for the determinationof volatile organic compounds emitted from indoor materials/products.3.2.2.1 DiscussionThe emission cell is placed against thesurface of the test specimen, such that the surface of th
25、e testspecimen itself becomes part of the emission cell. This is thefundamental difference between emission cells and emissionchambers. The air inlet of the emission cell is designed suchthat the flow of air is directed over the surface of the testspecimen.3.2.2.2 DiscussionAn example emission cell
26、is describedin Appendix X2.4. Summary of Practice4.1 Emission cells are suitable for relatively-homogeneousindoor materials/products, which present a planar surface to theemission cell.NOTE 4Small emissions chambers are similarly limited with respectto sample inhomogeneity. To overcome this issue, w
27、ith either emissioncells or small emission chambers, multiple measurements should be madefrom different parts of the same sample in order to obtain an averageemission measurement.4.2 Indoor materials/products which have a planar surface(wood-based panel products, dried paints or coatings, flooringpr
28、oducts, textiles, foams, polymer sheeting, dried adhesivelayers, and so forth) or which can be made to present a planarsurface to the emission cell (polymer beads, carpet, moldcultures in Petri dishes, and so forth) are placed under theemission cell such that the test specimen itself forms one faceo
29、f the emission cell. Pure, humidified air is passed into the cellthrough a baffle around the perimeter such that it passes overthe whole surface of the test specimen. The temperature andhumidity are closely controlled. As air passes over the testspecimen, vapor-phase organics emitted from the surfac
30、e areswept away from the test specimen in the flow of air. Theair/vapor exit (exhaust) point is usually located centrally,immediately above the test specimen surface, to avoid unsweptvolumes and sink effects (see 7.6 and Appendix X2). Theexhaust air is fully mixed such that air sampled at the exit p
31、ointis representative of the air in the cell. Approximately 80 % ofthe flow of air into the cell is pumped onto two sample tubes.The excess air is allowed to exhaust through an overflow ventto ensure that a slight positive pressure is maintained inside thecell to prevent ingress of background air.4.
32、3 The air flow rate is set such that the air velocity over thesurface of the test specimen has no effect on the area specificemission rate (see 6.4). The emission tests are carried out atfixed times after preparation of the test specimen (for example,after 2 hours, 24 hours, 72 hours, 10 days, 28 da
33、ys, 56 days, or182 days (26 weeks). Throughout the entire test period, testpieces shall either be kept under the emission cell under theD7143 11 (2016)2flow of pure, humidified air, or stored in a clean, well-ventilated environment, under controlled conditions of tem-perature and humidity, with no r
34、isk of contamination fromother samples or other emission sources.NOTE 5The air flow rate at the surface of the test specimen isparticularly critical for wet indoor materials / products where the primaryemission process is evaporation (external diffusion). In these cases, whileit will remain possible
35、 to compare emission data from wet samplescollected using similar emission cells under identical conditions, thenon-uniformity and relative slowness of the air velocity at the surface ofthe test specimen, will make it difficult to compare emission cell data withthat obtained using an emission chambe
36、r (see Appendix X4).NOTE 6Similar limitations make it difficult to compare emission datafrom two different small chambers or from the same chamber underdifferent operating conditions, if that data is obtained during the drying/curing stages of a wet product.4.4 The sample tubes used for collectingVO
37、Cs are analyzedby thermal desorption: gas chromatography (GC); usually withmass spectrometry (MS) and flame ionization detection (FID)to identify and quantify the target volatile organic compoundsas described in Practice D6196, ISO 16000-6 or ISO 16017-1.The measured masses of volatile organic compo
38、unds retainedby the sorbent tubes are then used to determine the area specificemission rates of the material or product. Alternative samplingand analytical techniques are used for formaldehyde (and forother carbonyls) as described in Test Method D5197.5. Significance and Use5.1 Indoor materials/prod
39、ucts are products or materials usedfor construction works or in the indoor environment. The areaspecific emission rates of volatile organic compounds from anindoor material/product may be used to estimate the expectedcontribution of emissions from that material/product to theatmosphere of a given in
40、door environment.5.2 Emission data may also be used to compare and catego-rize different indoor materials/products of similar function.5.3 Emission cell testing of area specific emissions mayalternatively be used for studying secondary interactions (forexample, sink effects (absorption and re-emissi
41、on of volatileorganics by the indoor material/product) or emissions gener-ated by chemical degradation of the indoor material/productcaused by specific atmospheric agents such as water, ozone orNOx).6. Principles6.1 General Principles:6.1.1 Area specific emission rates at a given lapsed time (t)are
42、calculated from the masses of target volatile organiccompounds collected on the sample tubes, the flow of airpumped through each sample tube, the total flow of air enteringthe emission cell, the duration of the test and the exposedsurface area of the test specimen. Area specific emission ratesat a g
43、iven lapsed time (t) can also be expressed as a function ofthe emission cell air concentrations for each VOC and the areaspecific air flow rate, q.6.1.2 Air velocity at the surface of the test specimen(Appendix X3 and Appendix X4) is a critical parameter for theanalysis of wet-applied indoor materia
44、ls/products during thedrying/curing stage when the dominant emission mechanism isevaporation (external diffusion) (see 6.4).6.2 Using Emission Data to Estimate Contribution to Atmo-spheric VOC Concentration Indoors:6.2.1 Provided the area specific air flow rate over the surfaceof the test specimen i
45、s similar to that found in the builtenvironment, and provided the surface of the indoor material/product is sufficiently homogeneous to ensure that the area ofthe test specimen exposed in the emission cell is representativeof the whole; area specific emission rates determined by thesetests can be us
46、ed to estimate the likely contribution toatmospheric VOC concentrations from that indoor material/product in real use, at time (t) after installation/application(assuming similar nominal conditions of temperature andhumidity).6.3 Intercomparison of Emission Data:6.3.1 Provided the test conditions ar
47、e duplicated, area spe-cific emission rate data generated from these tests may be usedfor comparison with area specific emission rate data producedfor the same or similar products by other laboratories usingsimilar emission cells.NOTE 7The principles described in 6.2 and 6.3 are true for allapplicab
48、le product types, whatever the dominant process of emission.6.4 Effect of the Emission Mechanism on Test Data andComparison of Test Data:6.4.1 Provided the dominant emission mechanism is (inter-nal) diffusion, not evaporation (external diffusion), area spe-cific emission rate data will be broadly in
49、dependent of airvelocity over the surface of the indoor material/product. Thiswill remain true provided the surface air velocity exceeds theminimum velocity required to prevent build up of vapor-phasecontaminants at the surface of the indoor material/product (seeAppendix X4).6.4.2 Provided the dominant emission mechanism from amaterial/product is internal diffusion, it is possible to comparearea specific emission rates generated from emission cellsunder different air flow conditions or to compare area specificemission rate data generated by emission c
