20、tion for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established

21、has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. In

22、ternational Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publi

23、cation as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent r

24、ights. ISO 4611 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 6, Ageing, chemical and environmental resistance. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 4611:2008), which has been technically revised. The main changes concern the equipment requiremen

25、ts and exposure conditions specified in Clause 4. Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARDS, 18/04/2011 03:44, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIBS EN ISO 4611:2010ISO 4611:2010(E) ISO 2010 All rights reserved v0 Introduction 0.1 Various test methods are available for the exposure of plastics to

26、 different aggressive agents acting in a combined and simultaneous fashion, such as natural weathering. Other test methods are available for the purpose of a separate evaluation of the action of individual aggressive agents. Among the latter there are, for example, tests for the resistance to specif

27、ic chemicals and to radiations of a definite spectral range. For some applications, it may be desirable to evaluate the behaviour of the materials in a hot damp atmosphere just below the saturation limit of water vapour, as well as in the presence of the liquid phase. In these conditions not only wa

28、ter absorption or leaching of some ingredients of the composition may be observed but also degradation phenomena due to hydrolysis, exudation of plasticizers, etc. It may also be desirable sometimes to evaluate the behaviour of materials in the presence of a highly corrosive electrolyte, such as a s

29、odium chloride solution (salt mist), which is the principal aggressive agent present in marine environments and of particular importance in the case of nautical applications. It is well known that sodium chloride has no noticeable action on the polymers that are the basic components of plastics, and

30、 that salt solutions, owing to their higher osmotic pressure, are normally absorbed by plastics to a lesser degree than pure water, but it cannot be assumed a priori that they have no action on composite materials, containing fillers, reinforcing components or pigments, for instance. Furthermore, th

31、e evaluation of the effect of salt mist can be very important for finished or semi-finished articles which, while basically consisting of plastic materials, do contain some metallic elements, such as moulded-in inserts, thin laminated foils, surface coatings applied by electro-plating or other proce

32、dures, or, lastly, metal cores sheathed with plastics by extrusion or by dipping in pastes or fluidized-bed powders. 0.2 Methods and equipment for obtaining reproducible aggressive environments of the above types are well known and have been described by International Standards relevant to other mat

33、erials and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) standards relevant to electrical and electronic components. The same equipment and procedures described in these standards can also be employed for plastics, with appropriate care and adjustments. 0.3 The present International Standard is in

34、tended to provide general guidance only, on the choice of suitable equipment and procedures for obtaining the exposure conditions described above and for the preparation of test specimens. It also only gives general guidance on the properties to be evaluated. Specific details are given in the variou

35、s ISO and IEC publications. For the expression of results, the present International Standard follows, as far as possible, the same criteria adopted in the existing test methods for the exposure to chemicals (see ISO 175) and to natural weathering or artificial light (see ISO 4582). 0.4 These tests

36、are intended to yield data about the effects of the described exposures on the materials; however, a direct correlation between the experimental results and the behaviour in service is not to be inferred.

38、 1 Scope 1.1 This International Standard specifies the conditions of exposure of plastics to damp heat, water spray, salt mist, and the methods for the evaluation of the change in some significant characteristics after given exposure stages. 1.2 This International Standard is, in general, suitable f

39、or all plastics in the form of standard test specimens, and finished articles or parts thereof. 1.3 This International Standard considers separately methods for the determination of change in mass, change in dimensions and appearance, change in physical properties. 2 Normative references The followi

41、le One or more properties are determined before and after given periods of exposure in the specified environmental conditions, and any change in appearance is observed. If required, the determination of one or more properties may be carried out after exposure and a subsequent drying treatment or a r

42、econditioning treatment carried out with the aim of obtaining the same state of equilibrium with atmospheric humidity as that of the initial specimens.

43、l rights reserved4 General test conditions 4.1 Equipment requirements 4.1.1 General Equipment used for exposing specimens to steady state or cyclic exposure conditions involving heat, humidity, and water or salt spray shall be made from corrosion resistant materials that will not interact with or co

44、ntaminate the specimens being exposed. In addition, the device shall provide a means to programme and time the various portions of the exposure cycles that are used. Sensing devices for measurement of temperature and relative humidity shall be located within the working volume of the chamber. Any co

45、ndensed water shall be continuously drained from the chamber and not re-used until re-purified. No condensed water from the walls or roof of the chamber can fall on the test specimens. Water used for the maintenance of the chamber humidity shall have a resistivity of at least 0,05 M cm. For the wate

46、r spray (see 4.2.2) and salt mist (see 4.2.3) tests, the following additional equipment requirements shall be met. The cabinet shall have a volume of not less than 0,4 m3since, with smaller volumes, difficulties have been experienced in ensuring an even distribution of spray. For large-volume cabine

47、ts, it is nevertheless necessary to ensure that the spray is distributed homogeneously throughout the cabinet. The upper parts of the inside of the cabinet shall be designed so that any drops of spray which form on its surface cannot fall on the specimens being tested. For the salt mist test (see 4.

48、2.3), the apparatus should, for environmental reasons, preferably be fitted with equipment for treating the salt mist after the test, prior to releasing it to the atmosphere, and also with equipment for treating the salt water produced during the test, prior to discharging it to the sewage system. F

49、or the water spray (see 4.2.2) and salt mist (see 4.2.3) tests, the device for spraying the water or salt solution shall include a supply of compressed air, a reservoir containing the water or salt solution to be sprayed, and one or more atomizers. Before it reaches the atomizers, the compressed air shall be passed through a filter to remove all traces of oil and solid matter, and the atomization shall be carried out at an overpressure of about 70 kPa. The level of the water or salt solution shall be maintained automatically. In order to
