Summary of Test Method4.1 The PVC product (extruded product, injection moldedpart, or compression molded) is cut apart to obtain a flat testspecimen at least 3 by 3 by 0.060 6 0.020 in. (76 by 76 by 1.56 0.5 mm).4.2 The test specimen is heated under the infrared ref
16、lectiveheat lamp to determine the temperature rise above ambient(laboratory) temperature relative to a black control sample.4.3 The temperature rise data, obtained in the laboratory fora given test specimen, is then used to predict the heat buildup,which may occur outdoors due to the sun.5. Signific
17、ance and Use5.1 Heat buildup in PVC exterior building products due toabsorption of the energy from the sun may lead to distortionproblems. Heat buildup is affected by the color, emittance,absorptance, and reflectance of a product. Generally, the darkerthe color of the product, the more energy is abs
18、orbed and thegreater is the heat buildup. However, even with the sameapparent color, the heat buildup may vary due to the specificpigment system involved. The greatest heat buildup generallyoccurs in the color black containing carbon black pigment. Theblack control sample used in this test method co
19、ntains 2.5 partsof furnace black per 100 parts of PVC suspension resin. Themaximum temperature rise above ambient temperature for thisblack is 90F (50C) for a 45 or horizontal surface when thesun is perpendicular to the surface and 74F (41C) for avertical surface assuming that the measurements were
20、done ona cloudless day with no wind and heavy insulation on the backof the specimen.8See Appendix X1.5.2 This test method allows the measurement of the tem-perature rise under a specific type heat lamp, relative to that ofa black reference surface, thus predicting the heat buildup dueto the suns ene
21、rgy.5.3 The test method allows prediction of heat buildup ofvarious colors or pigment systems, or both.5.4 This test method gives a relative heat buildup comparedto black under certain defined severe conditions but does notpredict actual application temperatures of the product. Thesewill also depend
22、 on air temperature, incident angle of the sun,clouds, wind velocity, insulation, installation behind glass, etc.6. Apparatus6.1 Testing ApparatusThe apparatus shall be constructedessentially as shown in Fig. 1 and shall consist of thefollowing:6.1.1 Wooden Box, opened from the top and the front and
23、lined with 1-in. (25.4-mm) thick white rigid hydrous calciumsilicate heat insulation.6.1.2 White Infrared Heat Lamp, 250-W.96.1.3 Thermocouple, 40-gage Type J (iron-constantan); orequivalent.6.1.4 Digital Read-Out Temperature Meter, Type J; orequivalent.NOTE 3The type of insulation may affect absolu
24、te temperature rise.However, the calculated values of predicted maximum heat buildup,relative to a black does not appear to be affected, based on a laboratorystudy comparing white rigid hydrous calcium silicate heat insulation withaluminum foil insulation having equivalent thermal resistance.NOTE 4T
25、he intensity of the heat lamp has an effect on absolutetemperature rise, however, it does not appear to influence the calculatedvalues of predicted maximum heat buildup relative to the black control.The 250-W infrared heat lamp was selected because a higher intensitylamp results in excessive tempera
26、ture rise. This leads to excessivesoftening of the specimen under study, especially in the case of the blackcontrol. A lower intensity lamp requires a longer testing time and,therefore, is considered undesirable.6.2 The thermocouple shall be inserted through a 0.125-in.(3.18-mm) hole in the bottom o
27、f the box, so that it extends 0.25in. (6.35 mm) above the bottom surface of the box. Thethermocouple bends under the weight of the specimen, butshall retain contact with the specimen when the specimen is inplace. The lamp shall be installed perpendicular to the thermo-couple. A specimen location gri
28、d may be inscribed on thebottom of the box to facilitate centering of the thermocouple inrelation to the specimen.6.3 The distance from the bottom of the box to the bottomsurface of the lamp shall be 15.5 6 1 in. (39.4 6 2.5 cm).8Summers and Brown, SPE Technical Papers, XXV, 1979, p. 403.9A G.E. hea
29、t lamp has been found satisfactory for this purpose.FIG. 1 Apparatus for Measuring Temperature RiseD 4803 97 (2002)e12NOTE 5Calculated heat buildup for the specimens is independent ofthe distance between the light source and the surface of the specimen.However, shorter distances lead to very high ma
30、ximum equilibriumtemperatures, especially for dark colors, which might cause distortion ofthe specimen. Larger distances between the light source and the specimencause less test sensitivity and less reproducibility.6.4 Install the apparatus in a room characterized by still airwithout drafts due to a
31、ir conditioning, etc.7. Safety Precautions7.1 The heating lamp is hot during the test. Touching it willcause burns.8. Sampling8.1 Select samples in accordance with Practice D 1898. Thesamples shall be representative of the color or pigment system,or both, under study.9. Test Specimens9.1 Test flat s
32、mooth-surfaced test specimens at least 3 by 3by 0.060 6 0.020 in. (76 by 76 by 1.5 6 0.5 mm), cut from theselected samples.9.2 A similar size control specimen shall be prepared fromany rigid PVC compound containing 2.5 parts Black Pearls70010or equivalent furnace type carbon black without anyother p
33、igmentation. See Practice D 4703.10. Procedure10.1 Maintain the ambient air temperature in the laboratory,measured 3 ft from the side of the testing box, at 75 6 5F.10.2 Set the specimen on the bottom of the box usingsample location grid so that its center is in contact with thethermocouple. Two-sid
34、ed adhesive tape may be used betweenthe specimen and the box to ensure contact with the thermo-couple.10.3 Turn on the heat lamp and digital read out temperaturemeter.10.4 From the temperature meter, record the equilibriumtemperature of the specimen. Usually it takes no more than 30min for the PVC s
35、pecimens having thickness equal to or lessthan 0.075 in. (1.9 mm). See Fig. 2 for relationship of the timerequired to reach equilibrium temperature and the thickness ofthe PVC specimens.10.5 Measure the maximum temperature of the controlspecimen prior to the specimens under study but within2hofthe o
