41、.4 Color 2.4.1 When a textile or polymeric product is furnished in a range of colors, samples of each are to be provided for evaluation. Where various colors are evaluated by representative sample(s) of a range of colors, only the representative sample(s) are required to be evaluated. Table 2.2 Samp
42、le conditioning Exposure Method Standard Conditioning Except for textile products (i.e., fabric, webbing, thread, tie tape), the applicable number of samples specied in each section are to be conditioned at 23 2C (73 4F) and 50 5 percent relative humidity for not less than 24 hours prior to the test
43、s. For textile products, the samples are to be conditioned at 21 2C (70 4F) and 65 5 percent relative humidity for not less than 24 hours. A different temperature and relative humidity that provides equivalent conditioning is not prohibited from being used. SC Natural Accelerated Weathering Where Nt
44、 75 or Nt 138 exposure is specied, samples are to be exposed to natural weathering of 75 or 138 MJ/m 2 of UV radiation below 385 nm, respectively in South Florida (approximately 3 or 6 months) beginning between May 21 and July 21. Unless otherwise specied specimens are to be mounted with the face si
45、de (the side normally exposed to sunlight in service) toward the light, open backing, 45 angle, facing south. Condition samples to Standard Conditioning after exposure. Nt 75 Nt 138 Sunshine Carbon Arc Accelerated Weathering Unless otherwise specied, specimens are to be mounted with the face side (t
46、he side normally exposed to sunlight in service) toward the light so that the exposed area of each specimen is perpendicular to the light source rays. Condition samples to Standard Conditions after exposure. Where CA 100 or CA 300 exposure is specied, samples are to be exposed to 100 or 300 hours of
47、 light and water exposure, respectively in accordance with Cycle 1 (102 minutes of light/18 minutes of light and water) of the Standard Practice for Operating Open Flame Carbon Arc Light Apparatus for Exposure of Nonmetallic Materials, ASTM G152. The lower arcs are to be No. 15 copper clad carbon. T
48、he black panel temperature is to be 68 5C (155 10F) per Federal Standard 191A, Method 5804. The arcs are to be replaced and the corex D glass cleaned every 24 hours.
