16、number of specimens was determined to derive an equationexpressing a specimens temperature rise as a function of itsreflectance.4.5.2 Aspecimens heat buildup is determined by measuringits reflectance in the UV, VIS, and NIR spectral region and thecorrelations regression equation.5. Significance and
17、Use5.1 Heat buildup of polymeric building products due toabsorption of energy from the sun may lead to distortionproblems. Test Method Test Method D4803 was developed topredict a building products heat buildup (temperature rise). Itcompares the relative temperature changes of a pigmentedPVC product
18、and a PVC panel containing carbon black whenexposed to an infrared heat lamp. Based on experimentalresults that determined the maximum temperature for this blackpanel under both solar exposure and in the laboratory test, amethod for determining the exterior temperature rise and heatbuildup for a tes
19、t panel was developed. This test has shown tobe useful and reliable but is time consuming and requirescontrolled conditions to minimize sources of variation.5.2 This test method uses a spectrophotometer to measure aspecimens reflectance in the ultraviolet, visible, and nearinfrared region and uses t
20、he spectral power distribution of theheat lamp specified in Test Method D4803 to determine anintensity factor, which is an index of the relative spectralenergy absorption by the specimen.5.2.1 The temperature rise that would occur under an TestMethod D4803 test is proportional to this intensity fact
21、or. Anequation has been derived from the correlation of the intensityfactor and temperature rise data obtained from Test MethodD4803 testing of samples with a wide range of color andlightness. A total of 99 samples were studied and representsamples with the lowest to highest temperature rise. Linear
22、regression analysis yields a R2 correlation coefficient of 0.98.5.2.2 The procedure in Appendix X1 allows prediction oftemperature rise that would result from testing of the samesample under Test Method D4803.5.2.3 As this procedure is a correlation to results obtainedby Test Method D4803, it is a m
23、ethod that yields a relativetemperature rise compared to black under certain definedsevere conditions, but does not predict actual field applicationtemperatures of the product. These product temperatures areinfluenced by incident angle of the sun, clouds, wind speed,insulation, installation behind g
24、lass, etc.5.3 The intensity factor itself is a dimensionless index of therelative energy absorption of the specimen, without conversionto a temperature rise. It can be used to compare the heatbuildup characteristics of different colors, or different candi-date formulations for the same color. It can
25、 also be used tocategorize color into ranges of intensity factor, to be used as abasis for testing of full siding products for resistance to thermaldistortion.6. Apparatus6.1 UV/VIS/NIR SpectrophotometerThe spectral reflec-tance data are obtained using a spectrophotometer equippedwith a PTFE-coated
