Summary of Test Method3.1 This test method consis
7、ts of measuring and recordingthe haze and light transmittance of an unexposed circular platetest specimen; mounting the specimen in the test fixture;pressurizing the fixture to induce the desired biaxial stress inthe specimen; and exposing the stressed specimen to specificaccelerated weathering cond
8、itions. After conditioning, thespecimen is removed and haze/transmittance are measured todetermine any changes in value. Coating adhesion is measuredwhen applicable.3.2 The resistance of the plastic to stress-during-weatheringis determined by the onset of crazing, the change in haze andluminous tran
9、smittance, and adhesion of coating.4. Significance and Use4.1 The degradation of optical properties of transparentplastics is the single greatest cause for in-service removal andreplacement. Some optical qualities are inherent in the geom-etry, manufacturing process, and materials, and remain rela-t
10、ively unchanged after manufacture, while others are subject togradual change during exposure to the service environment.Factors having an influence on the crazing of transparentplastics include stress, ultraviolet (UV), moisture, and tempera-ture. Sufficient data has been generated to make it eviden
11、t thatreal-world conditioning must be experienced by developmentaltest specimens, as opposed to testing new unexposed materialto determine durability, prior to in-service usage. However, thelaboratory simulation of natural weathering, and especiallyaccelerated simulation, is imprecise and correlatio
12、n of resultsobtained for different plastics or from using different exposureapparatus should not be attempted until a valid database hasbeen generated for such cross-correlation.5.

At a minimum, it must be recognized that TestMethod D 3359, in the context of this application, is being used beyond itsscope. However, the technique of Tape Peel to evaluate coating adhesionis being u
