A detail

24、ed knowledge of the climatic conditions to which the product will be subjected is necessary in the design stage to ensure that reliability is met. Data on open-air temperature and humidity have been collected and statistically processed for many years throughout the world. Such data is represented i

25、n this part of IEC 60721. In addition to open-air temperature, temperature stresses on a product depend on a number of other environmental parameters, for example solar radiation, air velocity or heating from adjacent equipment. The effects of humidity depend on temperature, temperature changes and

26、impurities in the humid air. In many cases the extremes of temperature and humidity are of great importance even if they occur for a short time. In other cases, where large time constants for heat or water penetration are involved, the mean values of temperature and humidity over a certain period ma

27、y be more important. It has therefore been considered useful to present here both the mean value over many years of the annual extreme values of temperature and humidity, which will occur only for short periods (a few hours), and the mean value over many years of the extreme daily mean values of tem

28、perature and humidity, which will occur for longer periods. In order to cover cases where rare events need to be taken into account, the absolute extreme temperatures and humidity levels, observed over a period of many years, have also been presented.

29、-1 IEC:2013 CLASSIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS Part 2-1: Environmental conditions appearing in nature Temperature and humidity 1 Scope This part of IEC 60721 presents classifications of open-air climates in terms of temperature and humidity. It is intended to be used as part of the backgroun

30、d material when selecting appropriate temperature and humidity severities for product testing and application. The climates cover all areas of the world, excluding the central Antarctic and high altitudes (above 5 000 m). This presentation may be used as background material when issuing climatic env

31、ironmental classes for product applications. This standard defines a limited number of open-air climate classifications, in terms of temperature and humidity, which represent the conditions most frequently met by products while being transported, stored, installed and used. 2 Normative references Th

36、0721-2-1:2014 EN 60721-2-1:201460721-2-1 IEC:2013 7 The MIL210 ExPERT database contained daily temperature and humidity data that were collected during 19731992. Measurement locations were mainly from airports and major cities worldwide. The total number of sites/stations was 289. The uncertainty of

37、 measurements was not documented and the data source contained no data about highest temperature with relative humidity (RH) 95 %. The Hutchinson World Weather Guide used data provided by the British Meteorological Office. The length of the measured period differed from location to location varying

38、from 2 years to 105 years. Detailed locations and uncertainty of measurement were not documented in the book and there were no data relating to highest temperature with RH 95 %. As stated in IEC 60721-1, other references were used for comparison purposes of both the climatic classes and the map of c

39、limatic classes. 5 General validation process The high level process for validating the data used to update this standard is given in Figure 4 of IEC 60721-1:1990. The process has three main phases: identify and collect data; analyse data and compare to current values; update data as appropriate. As

40、 a result of the data collection and analysis, open-air climates have been simplified and revised as shown in Table 1.

44、ning a limited number of climate classifications, hereinafter referred to as “open-air climates“. For the application of a product in a geographical area, the open-air temperature and humidity can be taken from climatic data for that area. This helps ensure that the product is designed for applicati

45、on in this climate. 6.2 Environmental parameters For this standard, open-air climates are defined by the air temperature and relative humidity values. The relative humidity at a certain temperature is defined as the ratio between the actual vapour pressure and the saturation vapour pressure at the s

46、ame temperature. The absolute air humidity is defined as the mass of water vapour per cubic meter of air. The annual extreme value of low temperature normally occurs for a period of approximately 10 h, while the annual extreme value of high temperature normally occurs for approximately 5 h. 6.3 Iden

47、tification of statistical open-air climates The following tables present the climate classifications defined as open-air climates. In Table 3 the mean value of the annual extreme daily mean values of temperature and humidity is given for each climate classification. Table 4 provides the mean value o

48、f annual extreme values of temperature and humidity is given for each classification. In Table 5, the absolute extreme value of temperature and humidity is given for each climate classification.
