Principles4.1 Micro-scale test chambers are used for measuring emis-sions of VOCs including formaldehyde

28、and other carbonylcompounds from materials and products.4.2 Wall adsorption effects of reactive compounds andSVOCs are minimized by reducing the exposed inner surfaceof the chamber by fitting the SPF samples directly into themicro-scale chamber with minimal headspace. Passivatedtreatment of the inte

29、rior surfaces also contributes to reducedsorption effects.4.3 Micro-scale chambers are used for measuring area-specific emissions from the surface of SPF insulation ormass-specific emissions from the mass of the sample.5. Summary of Test Method5.1 A micro-scale chamber is used to measure VOC emis-si

30、ons from SPF insulation samples. A representative testspecimen is prepared from the sample and is placed directlyinto a micro-scale chamber. Air samples are collected from thechamber exhaust at specified elapsed times.5.2 Clean dry air is supplied to a micro-scale chamber andpasses over the exposed

31、surface of the test specimen beforereaching the exhaust port. The airflow rate and the temperaturewithin the micro-scale chamber are controlled. As the airpasses over the test specimen, emitted compounds are sweptaway from the samples surface.5.3 The standard temperature for the test method is 35 6

32、1C. Emission rates of organic compounds from buildingmaterials and sorption and desorption of organic compoundsfrom interior surfaces are sensitive to temperature.

Significance and Use6.1 SPF insulation is applied and formed onsite, whichcreates unique challenges for measuring product emissions.This test method provides a way to measure post-applicationchemical emissions from SPF

40、insulation.6.2 This test method can be used to identify compounds thatemit from SPF insulation products, and the emission factorsmay be used to compare emissions at the specified samplingtimes and test conditions.6.3 Emission data may be used in product development,manufacturing quality control and

41、comparison of field samples.6.4 This test method is used to determine chemical emis-sions from freshly applied SPF insulation samples. The utilityof this test method for investigation of odors in building scaleenvironments has not been demonstrated at this time.7. Apparatus7.1 General Description:7.

42、1.1 Micro-scale chambers are described in PracticeD7706. The micro-scale chamber test apparatus comprises oneor more micro-scale chambers, a means of controlling themicro-scale chamber(s) at 35 6 1 C, a regulated clean airsupply system and gas sampling capabilities.7.1.2 The micro-scale chamber suit

43、able for SPF insulationemissions testing is cylindrical in shape to accommodate anO-ring or gasket seal with an internal diameter of 6 to 10 cmand a depth of at least 3.5 cm. The chamber shall be capable ofachieving an area specific flow rate of 0.95 6 0.5 m/h at a flowrate not exceeding 150 mL/min.

44、 All of the air exiting thechamber outlet passes onto the sampling media cartridge ortube during sampling events.7.1.3 The prepared SPF insulation specimen must fit intothe chamber body such that the back surface and edges of thespecimen are not directly exposed to the stream of air. Anexample micro

45、-scale chamber to measure emissions of SPFinsulation is shown in Fig. X1.1.7.2 Construction:7.2.1 The micro-scale chamber body and associated lid shallbe constructed of polished stainless steel with an inert coatingby passivation using a process (typically patented) that diffusesamorphous silicon ma

46、terial into the surface of the stainlesssteel.7.2.2 The gasket or O-ring used to seal the lid to its bodyshall be low absorbing and low emitting at the operatingtemperature so it does not contribute significantly to back-ground VOC concentrations. Gaskets and O-rings composed offluoropolymer elastom

47、er are suitable for this application. Theapparatus shall facilitate disassembly for loading samples andfor cleaning.7.3 Temperature and Heating Requirements:7.3.1 Verify the interior temperature of each micro-scalechamber with a traceable device, for example with a NationalInstitute of Standards and

48、 Technology (NIST) traceable certifi-cate. The device used to measure temperature shall have anaccuracy of at least 61 C between 30 C and 40 C. Variousmicro-scale chamber designs may require different temperaturemeasuring devices or techniques.7.3.2 Measure the temperature of each individual micro-s

49、cale chamber prior to first use and within 90 days ofsubsequent use with the water-fill procedure below.7.3.2.1 Remove each micro-scale chamber from the systemand fill each micro-scale chamber with distilled or deionizedwater to between 50 % and 75 % of the chamber volume. Placethe water containing micro-scale chambers in the system andset the system to the prescribed test temperature of 35 C.Insert the temperature device through the sampling port so thatit is immersed in the water and the sensor does not touch thechamber walls or bottom of the chamber.
