1、Designation: F 2072 01 (Reapproved 2007)Standard Practice forHosedown of a Membrane Switch1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2072; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A num

2、ber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice establishes procedures for the hosedown ofa membrane switch to verify adequate protection from ingressof water from a high-

3、volume water spray.1.2 This practice can also be used to verify the ability of amembrane switch or graphics layer to act as a liquid seal for afinished product.1.3 Additional test methods or practices can be incorporatedto investigate specific results or capabilities.1.4 This practice is a modificat

Significance and Use4.1 The presence of water inside a membrane switch canaffect its mechanical operation or electrical

It is useful in identifying designdeficiencies.4.3 Hosedown testing may be destructive, therefore anysamples tested shoul

Interferences5.1 External VentingAny deliberate external venting ofthe switch will allow liquid to enter.5.2 Atmospheric PressureSignificant changes in atmo-spheric pressure during the test or at different facilities mayalter the time in which leakage might oc

Apparatus6.1 Water Supply, capable of delivering a stream of water ata rate of at least 65 gal/min through a 1 in. (25 mm) internaldi

9、ameter nozzle for the specified duration,6.2 An appropriate device or fixture to hold the switch in afixed position,6.3 Any additional equipment as required by other testmethods employed, and6.4 Nozzle with 1 in. (25 mm) internal diameter.7. Test Specimen7.1 The test specimen will be a membrane swit
