Symbol U

24、nit 3.1 fluorescent UV lamp lamp in which primary radiation from a low pressure mercury arc is transformed into higher wavelength UV by means of a fluorescent phosphor. The spectral emission of a fluorescent lamp is determined by the spectral emission of the fluorescent phosphor and the transmission

25、 characteristics of the glass tube. A fluorescent UV lamp is a lamp in which the radiant emission in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum 400 nm makes up at least 80 % of the total radiation output 3.2 irradiance incident radiant flux onto a surface per unit area E W / m 3.3 spectral irradiance ra

27、nlight 4 Principle Test specimens cut from the product sample are exposed in an apparatus with fluorescent UV lamps at specified irradiance, black standard temperature (BST), relative humidity and cyclic water spraying. The resistance to this exposure is determined by follow-up tests described in th

28、e product standards on flexible bitumen or plastic or rubber sheets for roof waterproofing. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Laboratory light source The UV source shall be an array of fluorescent UV lamps of type I (340 nm) or a fluorescent UV lamp combination in accordance with EN ISO 4892-3 with a mean UV irradian

29、ce in the plane of the specimen surfaces of (45 5) W/m in the wavelength range 300 nm. For typical spectral irradiances see Figure A.1. The irradiance at the test specimen surface shall not vary more than 10 % in relation to any two points in the specimen holder plane. In order to achieve homogeneou

30、s exposure conditions operate the apparatus according to the manufacturers instructions (e. g. replacement of lamps and repositioning of specimens) and use dummy specimens at void positions. 5.2 Test Chamber The design of the test chamber may vary but it shall be constructed from inert material and

31、provide for uniform irradiance in accordance to 5.1 with means for controlling the black standard temperature (BST) and relative humidity in the dry period. 5.3 Specimen arrangement The test specimen racks shall allow the specimens to lie flat in the plane 5 above the horizontal; be mounted so that

32、the exposed face is in the plane of uniform irradiance. The specimens shall be attached to stainless steel platens of at least the same size as the specimens by appropriate means. The attachment shall leave an area open to free irradiation so that subsequent tests can be performed on irradiated part

33、s of the specimen. For inclinations near to horizontal the specimens may be alternatively placed in stainless steel pans of at least the same size as the specimens. The specimens shall be weighted in this arrangement by means of a U shaped stainless frame. The external dimensions of the frame shall

34、correspond to the specimen size. The cross section of the steel frame shall be (5 0,5) mm by approximately 10 mm. The dimension of (5 0,5) mm stands for the width of the cross section, i. e. the plane that is in contact with the specimen. If the specimens are placed in pans, the lower end of the pan

35、s shall have sufficient slits or holes to avoid any collection of water. The attachment arrangement shall not restrain the test specimens from changes in dimensions during exposure. 5.4 Water supply and spray mechanism Demineralized water with a maximum conductivity of 500 S/m shall be used for spra

36、ying. In general the temperature of the water to be used in the spraying procedure shall be (25 5) C at the beginning of the spray cycle. Spray nozzles shall provide a uniform and continuous wetting of the exposed specimens sides for defined periods of time. The flow rate through the nozzles shall b

37、e (10 3) litres per min and m of the exposed specimen surface. EN 1297:2004 (E) 7 5.5 Cycle timer A continuously operating cycle timer or controller shall allow programming of the spray cycles. An hour meter shall be provided to record total time of operation and UV exposure. 5.6 Thermometer Thermom

38、eter capable of measuring the black standard temperature in accordance with EN ISO 4892-1, with means to record the temperature during each cycle. 5.7 Radiometer A radiometer to determine the UV radiant exposure in J/m in the wavelength region from 300 nm to 400 nm. 6 Sampling and preparation of tes

39、t specimens 6.1 Sampling For the purpose of this document, a complete undamaged roll of the sheet to be tested shall be selected in accordance with EN 13416. 6.2 Dimensions of test specimens Test specimens of sufficient size according to the follow-up test to be performed shall be cut from the test

40、piece in accordance with EN 13416. The machine direction should be indicated. Durable marks for dimensional measurements before and after exposure shall be applied to the test specimens. 6.3 Preconditioning of specimens Appropriate preconditioning of the specimens shall be carried out according to t

41、he tests to be performed as specified in the product standard on bitumen or plastic or rubber sheets. 7 Procedure 7.1 General The test specimens and the black standard thermometer shall be mounted in the specimen holders with their exposed sides facing the lamps (5.1). 7.2 Exposure cycle An exposure

42、 cycle has a duration of 360 min and consists of a 300 min dry period followed by a 60 min spray (wet) period in accordance with EN ISO 4892-3. Irradiation is not maintained during the wet period. 7.3 Black standard temperature The black standard temperature (BST) shall be at (60 3) C during the dry

43、 period. The air temperature in the test chamber (5.2) shall be controlled to a constant value such that the black standard temperature (BST) equals the required value after 30 min in the dry period. 7.4 Chamber heating During the spray period the chamber heating is turned off. EN 1297:2004 (E) 8 7.

44、5 Relative humidity The relative humidity during the dry period shall be (10 5) % after 30 min of the dry period. 7.6 Procedure Operate continuously, repeating the programmed cycle, except for servicing the instrument and inspection of test specimens.
