1、Designation: B915 01 (Reapproved 2017)Standard Test Method forMeasuring Static Heat Resistance of Self-Cleaning OvenCoating1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B915; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, t
2、he year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of this test is to qualitatively and quantitatively determine the resistance of a porcelainenam
3、el to thermal conditions encountered in pyrolytic self-cleaning oven in an accelerated laboratoryevaluation.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the procedure for the qualitativeand quantitative evaluation of static heat effects on porcelainenamel coatings.1.2 This test method is adaptable to various
4、 temperaturesand times, since the requirements in the porcelain enamelingindustry differ between manufacturers.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safe
5、ty and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International St

Dimensions may vary according to testplate size.5.3 Two Heavy-Gauge Steel Rods, approximately 12 in.(30.48 cm) long and18 in. (
17、0.32 cm) in diameter.5.4 Standard Size38 -16 or38 -24 (0.96-cm) Nuts, used forspacers between heat test plates.5.5 Spectrocolorimeter, capable of reading color by reflec-tion of enameled plates on reflectance 45/0 and L*, a*, b*color space.3Equipment available for making color readings isan instrume
18、nt that reads Spectrocolorimeter L, a, b scale4suchas Macbeth Color Eye or a Hunter Lab ColorQUEST.55.6 Gloss Meter, capable of reading 60 ASTM glossmeasurements (see Test Method D523).66. Procedure6.1 Punched holes are located14 in. (0.63 cm) down fromthe top and12 in. (1.2 cm) from the right and l
19、eft sides on a538-by538-in. (13.65- by 13.65-cm) uncoated metal plate.6.2 The metal plate is processed in the enamel formula thatis to be subjected to static heat testing.6.3 Before placing the test plate on heat test, initial color (L,a, b) and gloss (60) readings are recorded, dated, andestablishe
20、d as 0 h.6.4 The enameled plate should be clean and free of anyfingerprints or smudges. To clean a soiled plate, a lint-freepaper towel dampened with alcohol is rubbed back and forth onthe surface until plate is clean. To prevent further smudging,handle test plates on the edges.6.5 A steel rod is pa
21、ssed through each hole of the test plate.The test plates are suspended across the top of the standingbracket by the steel rods.6.6 If more than one test plate is required, a spacer is placedon the rods between each test plate. This allows a14-in.(0.63-cm) space between each test plate. Approximately
22、 26heat test plates can be suspended from the two steel rods.6.7 A cover plate is placed on both ends of each row. Thecover plate should be an enameled plate the same size as theheat test plates (previous heat test plates no longer needed fortesting may be used). Place cover plates on the two rods w
23、ithenamel side towards test plates. The cover plates protect theend heat test plates from being subjected to direct oven wallheat.6.8 The standing bracket containing the heat test plates isplaced in a constant oven temperature of 920F (493C) for360 h.76.9 The test plates are removed from the oven af
24、ter every 24h, stand at room temperature and evaluated for the amount ofchange in color, gloss, and physical appearance.6.10 The color and gloss readings of test plates are datedand recorded after every 24 h of exposure to heat. Deltas arecalculated by measuring the gloss and color change from 0 to2
25、4 h as shown in example 1.

Similarly, a (+b) change in valuewould indicate an increase in yellowness, while a (b) changein value would indicate an increase o
27、f blueness in the colorvalues of the test plate.6.11 The plates are checked visually for enamel breakdown,such as, metalizing, crazing, blistering, copperheading, hazyappearance, and edge burnoff, color, and gloss change.6.12 Heat test plates that do not display any extremephysical breakdown are ret
28、urned to the 920F (493C) oven tocontinue the heat test cycle.6.13 Test plates are removed every 24 h from the oven, setto room temperature, and visually examined. Color and glossreadings are recorded, dated, and the total number of hours ofexposure is recorded.6.14 Test plates that fail because of e
29、xcessive color andgloss change or show extreme enamel breakdown as describedin 6.11 are removed from the test and recorded as to what timefailure has occurred.6.15 Test plates that complete the 360 h are examinedvisually. Deltas of color and gloss readings from 0 to 360 h arerecorded.7. Rating Test

Box 230, Newburgh, NY 12550.660 ASTM gloss measurements: “The 60 optical head reads the angles ofincidence (i) and view (v) are 60 as measured from perpendicular to the specimen.”7The heat test cycle of 920F (493C) for 360 h was estab
33、lished to represent theaverage home use of running 12 cleaning cycles per year on a 10-year basis = 120cycles, assuming the oven cleaning cycle runs3hatpeak temperature (approxi-mately). Heat test oven temperature and time may be adjusted in accordance to userspecifications.B915 01 (2017)226 7.2 The
34、 plate(s) shall be rated for the number of cycles it haspassed without failure. For example, enamel that failed at 168h would be unfavorable compared to enamel that did not failuntil 336 h. Heat test plates are rated by the number of hoursaccumulated in the furnace before failure occurs.7.3 For comp
35、arison purposes, sample plates processed instandard enamel would have to be heat tested at the same timeto complete the rating of the test enamel from 0 to 360 h.7.4 Visual examination of an enameled test plate after a360-h heat cycle would be rated according to the calculation oftotal color change.
36、 (DE)8, when its value is equal to or less thanthe (DE) calculated for a standard enamel, which might be acurrent production enamel, over the full 360-h heat cycle.7.5 Change in gloss over full heat cycle must be comparableto the standard enamel.8.

37、orded:8.1.1 Number of hours test plate has accumulated in thefurnace.8.1.2 Color readings on the L, a, b scales.8.1.3 Gloss readings on the 60 gloss meter.8.1.4 Changes in gloss, color, and DE values are recorded.8.1.5 Written comments on any visual enamel breakdownduring the test cycle.9. Precision
38、 and Bias9.1 No justifiable statements can be made regarding theprecision and bias of this test method. This test is subject to awide margin of subjective visual rating and enamel batchformulation. Since base metal composition, fabrication, enamelformulation, and processing will give rise to variabl
39、es in theheat resistance of porcelain-enameled plates, each test plateshould be considered separately.10.
