Summary of Practice4.1 This practice is used to accelerate long-term weatheringeffects by subjecting the samples to concentrated naturalsunlight (with periodi

Significance and Use5.1 The ability to quickly and accurately ev

15、ited States.5.2 It is important to include control specimens of knownfield performance to determine the efficacy of this practice forspecific substrate(s) and coating system(s). These controlspecimens may include materials known to possess acceptableand unacceptable field performance for the defect(
16、s) underconsideration.5.3 Results derived from this practice are best used tocompare the relative performance of materials tested at thesame time in the same device.5.4 The inclusion of control specimens and their resultingdata will assist in dealing with test variability caused byseasonal or annual
17、 variations in important climatic factors.5.5 Extensive research was performed during the develop-ment of this standard practice. This research showed that thispractice is not useful for determination of quantitative accel-eration factors. However, this test is very useful as a compara-tive test.5.6
18、 Aminimum of two replicates for both control specimensand test specimens is recommended to allow statistical evalu-ation of results. Refer to Practice G 169 for additional guidanceon establishing the number of replicates.6. Apparatus and Materials6.1 Test Machines, as illustrated in a figure titled
19、“Sche-matic of a Fresnel Reflecting Concentrator Accelerated Weath-ering Machine” of Practice G90and described in ApparatusSection of Practice G90.6.2 Freezer, capable of maintaining a temperature of 20 65C (4 6 9F). The freezer shall be equipped with athermocouple to monitor air temperature.6.3 Mou
20、nting Board, paper-faced marine grade wood struc-tural panel, surface routed to accept the test specimens duringexposure (see Fig. 1).7. Test Specimens7.1 Recommended specimen size is 5 by 13 by maximum1.3 cm (2 by 5 by maximum12 in.).7.2 Attach the specimen to the mounting board. One methodto accom
21、plish this is to apply exterior grade silicone adhesiveto the center of each specimen. Use cotton gloves to press thespecimen into the mounting plate. Other mounting techniques,agreed upon between the testing laboratory and the client arepossible.7.3 Useful results have been achieved when specimen e
22、dgesand backs remain unsealed.8. Procedures8.1 One procedure recommended is in Practice G90.8.2 Soak-Freeze-Thaw Procedure:8.2.1 Following daily exposure in the Fresnel reflectingconcentrator accelerated weathering machine in Practice G90,Cycle 1, the mounting plate with specimens is removed andimme
23、rsed in a deionized water soak tank maintained at 25 65C (77 6 9F) for at least 1 h but not more than1h15min.If the board containing specimens floats in the immersion tank,the board may have to be inserted upside down for thespecimens to be completely immersed in water. A minimumexposure of 1 MJ/m2o
24、f ultraviolet radiation as measured perPractice G90 constitutes a daily cycle. If a minimum of 1MJ/m2of ultraviolet radiation (295 to 385 nm) is not accumu-lated in one day of exposure, the specimens are to be left on theapparatus and are not to be immersed or frozen that day. Thisexposure day does
25、not constitute one test cycle. Continue withthe exposure the following morning.8.2.2 After soak, the plate with specimens is placed for aminimum of 12 h and a maximum of 15 h in a freezermaintained at 20 6 5C (4 6 9F). The following morning,allow the samples to thaw for a minimum of 1 h underlaborat
26、ory ambient conditions.NOTE 1Because the start of the accelerated weathering after thawingcan be delayed due to weather, the precise time of the thaw portion of thecycle cannot be specified.8.2.3 The plate with specimens is remounted on the expo-sure device as prescribed in Practice G90.8.2.4 The co
27、mpletion of 8.2.1, 8.2.2, and 8.2.3 constitutesone test cycle. Report test results after 30 cycles or otheragreed upon time period.8.2.5 At least every week, replace the water used forsoaking test panels with new deionized water.FIG. 1 Routed Specimen Mounting Board Showing Placement ofSpecimensD572
