1、Designation: F2109 01 (Reapproved 2011)Standard Test Method toDetermine Color Change and Staining Caused by AircraftMaintenance Chemicals upon Aircraft Cabin Interior HardSurfaces1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2109; the number immediately following the designation indicates th
2、e year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of color
3、change and staining from liquid solutions, such as cleaning ordisinfecting chemicals or both, on painted metallic surfacesand nonmetallic surfaces of materials being used inside theaircraft cabin. The effects upon the exposed specimens aremeasured with the AATCC Gray Scale for Color Change andAATCC
4、Gray Color Scale for Staining.NOTE 1This test method is applicable to any colored nonmetallic hardsurface in contact with liquids. The selected test specimens are chosenbecause these materials are present in the majority of aircraft cabininteriors.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of
5、 thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Care shall be taken to keep thesurface clean and dust free.8. Test Solution8.1 Solution Concentration:8.1.1 Unless otherwise specified, the specim
17、ens shall betested with the maintenance chemical at the recommended usedilution, using water that conforms to Specification D1193,Type IV.8.1.2 If water is not used as the diluent, record the type andspecification of the diluent used in the test.8.2 TemperatureShall be room temperature.9. Procedure9
18、.1 For Painted, Tedlar, and Vinyl Surfaces:9.1.1 Leave one of the two test specimens of each materialunexposed as a control.9.1.2 When evaluating a water-based chemical:9.1.2.1 Apply the chemical by spray or sponge to the wholesurface of the test specimen to be tested.9.1.2.2 Allow the chemical to r

Examine also for
27、cracks orbrittleness.10. Interpretation of Results10.1 A numerical rating system is assigned by visuallycomparing the differences represented by the chip pairs of theoriginal and tested specimens. The scale runs from 1 to 5,progressing by half steps. A rating of 5 means that there is nodifference in
28、 color between the original material and the testedspecimen.10.1.1 Since any material deterioration is unacceptable,each rating other than 5 on the AATCC Gray Scales for ColorChange and Staining is cause for rejection.10.2 Scratching or brittleness of exposed specimens shallalso be cause for rejecti
29、on.11. Report11.1 Report the following data for each test performed:11.1.1 Name and type of maintenance chemical tested.11.1.2 Concentration and diluent used.11.1.3 Type of surface material tested.11.1.4 Presence of visual color change and staining.11.1.5 Presence of scratches or brittleness of the
30、exposedspecimens.11.1.6 The acceptance or rejection of the candidate chemi-cal.12. Precision and Bias12.1 No statement is made about the precision of this testmethod since the result merely states whether there is confor-mance to the criteria for success specified in the material orprocess specifica
31、tion of the chemical being tested, or both. Biascan not be obtained since there is no acceptable referencematerial.13.
