BS EN 16795:2015EN 16795:2015 (E) 4 Introduction Solar radiation causes the temperature of irradiated surfaces to rise substantially above the temperature of the surrounding air.
18、 The resulting surface temperature depends on the climatic parameters at the location in question, the spectral absorption of the surface, the geometric dimensions and on the specific structure of the object. Generally, the darker the colour, the more the suns energy is absorbed and the higher is th
19、e heat build-up. The performance characteristics of most of the materials are also defined by the in service temperature. Such materials can be window profiles or other polymeric carrier materials. The micro climate at house walls is also essential defined by the absorbed solar radiation (depending
20、on the material properties). The same applies for interior room and automobile temperatures. The examples reveal the significance of the knowledge of the temperature of sun irradiated surfaces. If the temperature magnitude is estimated to be critical, provisions can be taken to optimize the in-servi
21、ce micro climate, e.g. reduction of the in-service temperature by improvement of the spectral reflection characteristics or appropriate change in design and improving the air conditioning. BS EN 16795:2015EN 16795:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for estimating the temper
22、ature increase of a flat polymer surface, due to its solar radiant energy absorption, compared to the ambient temperature. For that purpose, a specimen and black and white reference plates are exposed to simulated solar radiation under specified conditions (simulated solar radiation, ambient air tem
23、perature, convective flow). For opaque specimens, a thermally sensitive electrical element at the backside or a pyrometer is used to measure the surface temperature. For translucent specimens, a pyrometer is used to measure surface temperature. NOTE Some specific polymeric materials are translucent
24、(transparent) and might have a transmittance window in a wavelength range where the used pyrometer is sensitive (e.g. polyethylene). The surface temperature of these materials cannot be measured with the contact and the contactless method. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or

28、cimens are exposed to various levels of simulated global solar radiation, heat, and relative humidity and air flow under controlled environmental conditions, including: a) the irradiance level; b) the air flow directed over the test specimen; c) the ambient air temperature during the exposure to sim
29、ulated global solar radiation; BS EN 16795:2015EN 16795:2015 (E) 6 d) the relative humidity in the chamber during the exposure to simulated global solar radiation. 5.3 The procedure may include measurements of the global irradiance in the plane of the specimens. 5.4 The procedure includes measuremen
30、ts of the surface temperature in the plane of the specimens. 5.5 It is recommended to expose simultaneously with the test specimens a black standard (BST) and white standard (WST) thermometer as specified in EN ISO 4892-1 to provide a standard for comparative purposes. 5.6 Comparison of results obta
31、ined from specimens exposed in different apparatus should not be made unless an appropriate statistical relationship has been established between the apparatuses for the particular material exposed. 6 Apparatus 6.1 General The equipment comprises a test chamber, an ozone-free radiation source which
32、generates UV, visible, and infrared radiation similar to solar radiation. A contactless surface temperature device (pyrometer) or contact temperature measuring systems may be part of the device. 6.2 Test chamber The design of the test chamber may vary, but it shall be constructed from inert material
33、 and shall be equipped with a blower which generates a defined airflow to be directed across the specimens. In addition to the controlled lamp wattage, the test chamber shall provide for control of ambient temperature. For exposures that require control of humidity, the test chamber shall include hu
34、midity-control facilities that meet the requirements of EN ISO 4892-1. NOTE 1 If the lamp system (one or more lamps) is centrally positioned in the chamber, the effect of any eccentricity of the lamp(s) on the uniformity of exposure can be reduced by using a rotating frame carrying the specimens or
35、by repositioning or rotating the lamps. NOTE 2 The required irradiance level can be adjusted by means of the lamp wattage. In this case, the lamp wattage is controlled not the irradiance. 6.3 Laboratory radiation source 6.3.1 General The radiation source shall comprise one or more xenon-arc or metal
36、 halide radiation sources which emit radiation from below 270 nm in the ultraviolet through the visible spectrum and into the infrared. In order to simulate global solar radiation, filters shall be used to remove short-wavelength UV radiation (800 nm) may be used to prevent unrealistic heating of th
37、e test specimens. 6.3.2 Spectral irradiance of xenon and metal halide arc lamps with global solar radiation filters Table 1 specifies the minimum and maximum levels of the relative spectral irradiance, in the visible and infrared wavelength range. Filters are a useful tool to achieve these values. I
38、n order to simulate global solar radiation, filters shall be used to remove short-wavelength UV radiation (800 nm) may be used to prevent unrealistic heating of the test specimens. BS EN 16795:2015EN 16795:2015 (E) 7 NOTE Solar spectral irradiance for a number of different atmospheric conditions is
39、described in CIE Publication No. 85 1. The benchmark global solar irradiance used in this standard is that defined in Table 4 in CIE No. 85:1989.

40、ectral portiona% 290 800 60 9 800 3 000 40 9 aThe minimum and maximum tolerance will not necessarily sum to 100 % because they represent tolerance of the measurement data used. For any individual spectral irradiance, the percentages calculated for the passbands in this table will sum to 100 %. For a
41、ny individual simulated global solar radiation, the calculated percentage in each passband shall fall within the minimum and maximum limits given. Contact the manufacturer of the simulated global solar radiation apparatus for specific spectral irradiance data. 6.3.3 Irradiance uniformity The irradia
42、nce at any position in the area used for specimen exposure shall be at least 80 % of the maximum irradiance. NOTE The surface temperature might vary with the irradiance uniformity on sample level. 6.4 Radiometer The radiometer used shall comply with the requirements given in ISO 9370. 6.5 Test chamb
43、er temperature and relative humidity The chamber temperature sensor shall be located, radiation-shielded, possibly combined with a sensor which measures the relative humidity close to the exhaust air duct. For exact calibration of the chamber temperature and relative humidity sensor it is necessary
44、to move a calibrated working reference standard and the instrument sensor to about the same position so that a balanced temperature and humidity can be set for the measuring sensors and the ambient air. Calibration takes place as soon as the whole system is in thermal balance. NOTE Typically, the th
45、ermal equilibrium is achieved after 30 min up to 1 h. 6.6 Surface temperature measurement device 6.6.1 Pyrometer 6.6.1.1 Minimum requirements for the pyrometer A pyrometer may be used to measure the surface temperature of the test specimen on sample level. The minimum requirements for the pyrometer
46、are the following: a) temperature range: 20 C to 150 C (traceably calibrated by a black body radiator); b) spectral response: 8 m to 14 m; c) IR detector: e.g. silicon based thermopile; d) uncertainty: 0,6 % (in the considered temperature range); BS EN 16795:2015EN 16795:2015 (E) 8 e) spot size (dia
47、meter): maximum 30 mm. 6.6.1.2 Calibration of the pyrometer The pyrometer shall be calibrated to a traceable national or international standard. Re-calibration by a qualified national or international calibration laboratory should be done at appropriate intervals (e.g. annually). 6.6.1.3 Emissivity
48、of material The temperature of a given object can only be measured correctly if its exact emissivity () in the wavelength range between 8 m and 14 m is known and the pyrometer is set up accordingly. The emissivity () is the ratio between the radiation emitted by a particular surface and that by a ra
49、diated black body at the same temperature. The emissivity () of a coated surface can be measured by an appropriate laboratory. In principle the emissivity () depends on wavelength, temperature and angle 2. NOTE 1 The emissivity of a material depends on the recording angle of the pyrometer. The observation angle of the pyrometer shall be perpendicular with respect to the specimen to be evaluated. If the specimen to be evaluated is not perpendicular to the observation angle of the pyrometer, a cosine-correction shall be applied. The emissivi
