2、sion, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This practice cove
3、rs the selection of test conditions foraccelerated exposure testing of coatings and related products infiltered open-flame carbon-arc devices conducted according toPractices G 151 and G 152. This practice also covers thepreparation of test specimens, the test conditions suited forcoatings, and the e
4、valuation of test results. Table 1 describescommonly used test conditions.NOTE 1Previous versions of this practice referenced carbon-arcdevices described by Practice G23, which described very specificequipment designs. Practice G23has been withdrawn and replaced byPractice G 151, which describes per
5、formance criteria for all exposuredevices that use laboratory light sources, and by Practice G 152, whichgives requirements for exposing nonmetallic materials in filtered openflame carbon-arc devices.1.2 This practice does not cover enclosed carbon-arc expo-sures of paints and related coatings, whic
6、h is described inPractice D 5031. Another procedure for exposing these prod-ucts is covered by Practice D 3361, in which the specimens aresubjected to radiation from an unfiltered open-flame carbon arcthat produces shorter wavelengths and higher levels of shortwavelength radiation than filtered open
7、-flame or enclosedcarbon arcs.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of

Significance and Use4.1 The ability of a paint or coating to resist deterioration ofits physical and op
21、tical properties caused by exposure to light,heat, and water can be very significant for many applications.This practice is intended to induce property changes associatedwith end-use conditions, including the effects of sunlight,moisture, and heat. The exposure used in this practice is notintended t
22、o simulate the deterioration caused by localizedweather phenomena such as atmospheric pollution, biologicalattack, and saltwater exposure.4.2 CautionsVariation in results may be expected whendifferent operating conditions are used. Therefore, no referenceto the use of this practice shall be made unl

Refer to Practice G 151 fordetailed information on the caveats applicable to use of resultsobtained according to this practice.NOTE 2Additional information on sources of variability and

28、ss otherwise indicated, black panel temperatures apply during the light-only portion of the cycle. The equilibrium black panel temperature is obtained without aspray period. For light intervals less than 30 min, the black panel temperature might not reach equilibrium.CTypical uses do not imply that
29、results from exposures of these materials according to the cycle described will correlate to those from actual use conditions.DUnless otherwise specified, water spray refers to water sprayed on the exposed surfaces of the test specimens.EHistorical convention has established this as a very commonly
30、used test cycle. This cycle may not adequately simulate the effects of outdoor exposure.D 822 01 (2006)2strategies for addressing variability in the design, execution, and dataanalysis of laboratory accelerated exposure tests is found in Guide G 141.4.2.1 The spectral power distribution of light fro
31、m anopen-flame carbon-arc is significantly different from thatproduced in light and water exposure devices using othercarbon-arc configurations or other light sources. The type andrate of degradation and the performance rankings produced byexposures to filtered open-flame carbon-arcs can be muchdiff
32、erent from those produced by exposures to other types oflaboratory light sources.4.2.2 Interlaboratory comparisons are valid only when alllaboratories use the same type of carbon-arc, filters, andexposure conditions.4.3 Reproducibility of test results between laboratories hasbeen shown to be good wh
33、en the stability of materials isevaluated in terms of performance ranking compared to othermaterials or to a control.4,5Therefore, exposure of a similarmaterial of known performance (a control) at the same time asthe test materials is strongly recommended. It is recommendedthat at least three replic
34、ates of each material be exposed toallow for statistical evaluation of results.4.4 Test results will depend upon the care that is taken tooperate the equipment according to Practice G 152. Significantfactors include regulation of line voltage, freedom from salt orother deposits from water, temperatu
35、re and humidity control,and conditions of the electrodes.4.5 All references to exposures in accordance with thispractice must include a complete description of the test cycleused.5. Apparatus5.1 Use filtered open-flame carbon-arc apparatus that con-forms to the requirements defined in Practices G 15
36、1 andG 152.5.2 Unless otherwise specified, the spectral power distribu-tion of the filtered open-flame carbon-arc shall conform to therequirements in Practice G 152 for carbon arc with daylightfilters.6. Hazards6.1 WarningIn addition to other precautions, never lookdirectly at the carbon arc because
37、 UV radiation can damage theeye. Most carbon-arc machines are equipped with door safetyswitches, but users of old equipment must be certain to turn offthe power to the carbon arc before opening the test-chamberdoor.6.2 The burning carbon rods used in these devices becomevery hot during use. Make sur
38、e to allow at least 15 min for thearcs to cool after the device is turned off before attempting tochange the carbon rods.6.3 Carbon residue and ash are known respiratory irritants.Wear an appropriate high-efficiency dust respirator, gloves, andsafety glasses when handling or changing carbon rods. Ma
39、kesure to wash any carbon residue from hands or arms prior toeating or drinking.7. Test Specimens7.1 Apply the coating to flat (plane) panels with the sub-strate, method of preparation, method of application, coatingsystem, film thickness, and method of drying consistent withthe anticipated end use,
40、 or as mutually agreed upon betweenthe producer and user.7.2 Panel specifications and methods of preparation includebut are not limited to Practices D 609 or D 1730, or Specifi-cation D 358. Select panel sizes suitable for use with theexposure apparatus.7.3 Coat test panels in accordance with Test M
41、ethods D 823,then measure the film thickness in accordance with an appro-priate procedure selected from Test Methods D 1005, D 1186,or D 1400. Nondestructive methods are preferred becausepanels so measured need not be repaired.7.4 Prior to exposing coated panels in the apparatus, condi-tion them at
42、23 6 2C (73 6 3F) and 50 6 5 % relativehumidity for one of the following periods in accordance withthe type of coating:Baked coatings 24 hRadiation-cured coatings 24 hAll other coatings 7 days7.4.1 Other procedures for preparation of test specimensmay be used if agreed upon between all interested pa
43、rties.7.5 Mount specimens in holders so that only the minimumspecimen area required for support by the holder is covered.Do not use this covered area of the specimen as part of the testarea.7.6 Unless otherwise specified, expose at least three repli-cate specimens of each test and control material.7
44、.7 Follow the procedures described in Practice G 147 foridentification and conditioning and handling of specimens oftest, control, and reference materials prior to, during, and afterexposure.7.8 Do not mask the face of a specimen for the purpose ofshowing on one panel the effects of various exposure
45、 times.Misleading results may be obtained by this method, since themasked portion of the specimen is still exposed to temperatureand humidity cycles that in many cases will affect results.7.9 Retain a supply of unexposed file specimens of allmaterials evaluated.7.9.1 When destructive tests are run,
46、it is recommended thata sufficient number of file specimens be retained so that theproperty of interest can be determined on unexposed filespecimens each time exposed materials are evaluated.NOTE 3Since the stability of the file specimen may also be time-dependent, users are cautioned that over prol
47、onged exposure periods, orwhere small differences in the order of acceptable limits are anticipated,comparison of exposed specimens with the file specimen may not be valid.Nondestructive instrumental measurements are recommended wheneverpossible.7.10 Specimens should not ordinarily be removed from t
48、heexposure apparatus for more than 24 h, then returned foradditional tests, since this does not produce the same results onall materials as tests run without this type of interruption.
