14、 Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.6.1.1 The dimensions and components are found in Fig. 1.The construction of the apparatus shall be capable of maintain-ing 50 6 3C (122 6 5F). In order to maintain thistemperature, a fan shall be mounted in the box. The fan shallrun continuously.6.1.2 The

15、apparatus shall be constructed from sturdy, solidmaterials that minimize the escape of ultraviolet light into thesurrounding area.12 or34 in. plywood has been found suitablefor this purpose. Stainless steel construction is also acceptable.6.1.3 The interior of the apparatus shall have a reflectivesu

16、rface. If plywood is used to construct the apparatus, then linethe entire interior of the apparatus with aluminum foil or otherreflective material.6.1.4 The test specimen supports are located as shown inFig. 1.6.1.5 The cooling plates are constructed of a conductivematerial such as copper or brass.

17、The cooling plates shall benominally 150 6 5 mm (5.91 6 0.20 in.) diameter and shall beplaced directly in complete contact with the glass surface forthe duration of the test. Alternatively, a rectangular coolingplate shall be 0.0177 6 0.0006 m2(27.4 6 1.0 in.2) in area.6.1.6 The cooling water temper

18、ature is determined as thewater immediately exits the apparatus from each cooling plateas shown in Figure 1. The cooling water temperature at theselocations shall be 21 6 2C.6.2 Ultraviolet Light Source:NOTE 2Warning: Ultraviolet light sources used in this test methodare harmful to the human body, e

19、specially to the eyes. Appropriateprotective measures must be observed.6.2.1 The source shall consist of one ultraviolet lamp. Thislamp shall be an Osram Ultra Vitalux 300W Lamp6and isplaced as shown in Fig. 1. The output of the UV source shall6Available from Westburne Electric, 635 Westburn Drive,

20、Vaughn, Ontario L4K4R8 Canada.FIG. 1 Volatile Fogging Exposure BoxE2189022be measured from a distance of 355 6 5 mm with a long-waveultraviolet meter7and shall not be less than 400 W/cm2.6.3 The chamber shall have radiation-shielded thermo-couples to continuously monitor the chamber temperature atth

21、e locations shown in Fig. 1.7. Test Specimen Preparation7.1 The sealed insulating glass units shall be sealed aminimum of 4 weeks from date of manufacture to allow forstabilization before testing begins. The manufacturer has theoption to waive this requirement.7.2 Make sure that the glass surfaces a

22、re clean.8. Procedure8.1 Chamber Preparation:8.1.1 The cooling plate shall be clean and the contactsurface shall be flat.8.1.2 For double-glazed units with low-e coatings, the coldplate shall be located on the low-e coated lite.8.2 Test Procedure:8.2.1 Mount the two selected specimens within a volat

23、ilefog test apparatus similar to that shown in Fig. 1 and close thelid before turning on the UV lamp.8.2.2 Turn on the UV lamp source.8.2.3 Maintain all thermocouples (shown in Fig. 1 as TC1,TC2, TC3 and TC4) at 50 6 3C (122 6 5F). The fan andvents can be used to regulate this temperature. The tempe

24、raturedifferential from thermocouple #1 to thermocouple #2 shall notexceed 3C (5F). The temperature differential from thermo-couple #3 to thermocouple #4 shall not exceed 3C (5F).8.2.4 Maintain the temperature of the cooling water at 21 62C (70 6 5F). Determine the temperature of the coolingwater im

Determine the temperature of the cold plateportion of this device.8.2.6 The specimens shall be

26、exposed to these conditionsfor a period of seven days or as determined by the specifier.8.2.7 For triple pane units, both cavities shall be tested. Twounits shall be tested with the exterior lite (as identified by themanufacturer) towards the cooling plate and two units shall betested with the inter

27、ior lite (as identified by the manufacturer)towards the cooling plate.8.3 Remove the test specimens from the test apparatus.Examine them carefully for fog by holding at arms length(approximately 500 to 750 mm (20 to 30 in.) from the eyeswith light behind the specimen. Move the specimen to anyangle n

28、ecessary to thoroughly check the surface of the glass forfogging.8.4 If fog is not observed, record the observation. Thetesting is complete.8.5 If fog is observed, record the observation and conditionthe test specimen(s) for 24 h at room temperature. After the24-h period, reexamine the specimen(s),

29、as in 8.3.8.6 If fog is not observed at the 24-h observation, record theobservation. The testing is complete.8.7 If fog is observed (at the 24-h observation), record theobservation and condition the test specimen an additional 6days. After the 7 day period, reexamine the specimens, as in8.3.8.8 The
