36、1 for guidance.6. Apparatus6.1 Laboratory Light SourceThe light source shall be one or more fluorescent UV lamps. A variety of fluorescent UV lampscan be used for this procedure. Differences in lamp intensity or spectrum may cause significant differences in test results.Adetaileddescription of the t
37、ype(s) of lamp(s) used should be stated in detail in the test report. The particular testing application determineswhich lamp should be used. See Appendix X1 for lamp application guidelines.NOTE 3Do not mix different types of lamps. Mixing different types of lamps in a fluorescent UV light apparatus
38、 may produce major inconsistenciesin the light falling on the samples, unless the apparatus has been specifically designed to ensure a uniform spectral distribution.6.1.1 Do not mix different types of lamps.

40、Appendix X1 for lamp application guidelines.NOTE 4Many fluorescent lamps age significantly with extended use. Follow the apparatus manufacturers instructions on the procedure necessaryto maintain desired irradiance (1,2).6.1.2 Actual irradiance The apparatus should include an irradiance control syst
41、em to monitor and control the irradiance. Inapparatuses without irradiance control, the actual irradiance levels at the test specimen surface may vary due to the type or oflamps, manufacturer of the lamp used, or both, the lamps, age of the lamps, the accumulation of dirt or other residue on the lam
42、ps,distance to the lamp array, and the air temperature within the chamber and the ambient laboratory temperature. Consequently, theuse of a radiometer to monitor and control the radiant energy is recommended.NOTE 6In general, in apparatuses without irradiance control, lamp output will decrease with
43、increasing chamber or laboratory temperature, or both.6.1.3 Several factors can affect the spectral power distribution of fluorescent UV lamps:Fluorescent lamps age with extendeduse. Follow the apparatus manufacturers instructions on the procedure necessary to maintain desired irradiance (1, 2).46.1
