27、t 3: Fluorescent UV lamps1 ScopeThis part of ISO 4892 specifies methods for exposing specimens to fluorescent UV radiation, heat and water in apparatus designed to simulate the weathering effects that occur when materials are exposed in actual end-use environments to global solar radiation, or to so
28、lar radiation through window glass.The specimens are exposed to fluorescent UV lamps under controlled environmental conditions (temperature, humidity and/or water). Different types of fluorescent UV lamp can be used to meet all the requirements for testing different materials.Specimen preparation an
29、d evaluation of the results are covered in other International Standards for specific materials.General guidance is given in ISO 4892-1.NOTE Fluorescent UV lamp exposures for paints, varnishes and other coatings are described in ISO 11507.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in
30、 part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.ISO 4582, Plastics Determination of changes in

32、 for lamp maintenance and/or rotation, may be used to simulate the spectral irradiance of global solar radiation in the short wavelength ultraviolet (UV) region of the spectrum.3.2 Specimens are exposed to various levels of UV radiation, heat and moisture (see 3.4) under controlled environmental con
33、ditions.3.3 The exposure conditions may be varied by selection of the following:a) type of fluorescent UV lamp;b) irradiance level;c) temperature during the UV exposure;d) type of wetting (see 3.4); ISO 2016 All rights reserved 1BS EN ISO 4892-3:2016ISO 4892-3:2016(E)e) wetting temperature and cycle
34、;f) timing of the UV/dark cycle.3.4 Wetting is usually produced by condensation of water vapour on to the exposed specimen surface or by spraying the test specimens with demineralized/deionized water.3.5 The procedure(s) may include measurement of the irradiance and the radiant exposure in the plane
35、 of the specimen.3.6 It is recommended that a similar material of known performance (a control) be exposed simultaneously with the test specimens to provide a standard for comparative purposes.3.7 Intercomparison of results obtained from specimens exposed in different types of apparatus or to differ
36、ent types of lamp should not be made unless an appropriate statistical relationship has been established between the different types of equipment for the material to be tested.4 Apparatus4.1 Laboratory light source4.1.1 Fluorescent UV lamps are fluorescent lamps in which radiant emission in the ultr
37、aviolet region of the spectrum, i.e. below 400 nm, makes up at least 80 % of the total light output. There are three types of fluorescent UV lamp used in this part of ISO 4892. UVA-340 (type 1A) fluorescent UV lamp: these lamps have a radiant emission below 300 nm of less than 1 % of the total light
38、 output, have an emission peak at 343 nm, and are more commonly identified as UVA-340 for simulation of global solar radiation from 300 nm to 340 nm (see Table 1). Figure A.1 is a graph of spectral irradiance from 250 nm to 400 nm of a typical UVA-340 (type 1A) fluorescent lamp compared to global so
39、lar radiation. UVA-351 (type 1B) fluorescent UV lamp: these lamps have a radiant emission below 310 nm of less than 1 % of the total light output, have a peak emission at 353 nm, and are more commonly identified as UVA-351 for simulation of the UV portion of solar radiation behind window glass (see
40、Table 2). Figure A.2 is a graph of spectral irradiance from 250 nm to 400 nm of a typical UVA-351 (type 1B) fluorescent UV lamp compared to global solar radiation filtered by window glass. UVB-313 (type 2) fluorescent UV lamp: these lamps are more commonly identified as UVB-313 and have a radiant em
41、ission below 300 nm that is more than 10 % of the total output and a peak emission at 313 nm (see Table 3). Figure A.3 is a graph of the spectral irradiance from 250 nm to 400 nm of two typical UVB-313 (type 2) fluorescent lamps compared to global solar radiation. UVB-313 (type 2) lamps may be used
42、only by agreement between the parties concerned. Such agreement shall be stated in the test report. Four different UV lamps used as one combination: these four different UV lamps are used together as one combination with a suited filter. See Figure A.4 in A.2.3.NOTE 1 UVB-313 (type 2) lamps have a s
43、pectral distribution of radiation, which peaks near the 313 nm mercury line and can emit radiation down to = 254 nm, which can initiate ageing processes that never occur in end-use environments.NOTE 2 The solar spectral irradiance for a number of different atmospheric conditions is described in CIE
44、Publication No. 85. The benchmark global solar radiation used in this part of ISO 4892 is from CIE Publication No. 85:1989, Table 4.4.1.2 Unless otherwise specified, UVA-340 (type 1A) fluorescent UV lamps shall be used to simulate the UV part of global solar radiation (see Table 4, method A). Unless
45、 otherwise specified, UVA-351 (type 1B) 2 ISO 2016 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 4892-3:2016ISO 4892-3:2016(E)lamps shall be used to simulate the UV part of solar radiation through window glass (see Table 4, method B). The four-lamp UV combination may be used (see A.2.3) and shall be stated in the te
46、st report.4.1.3 Fluorescent lamps age significantly with extended use. If an automatic irradiance control system is not used, follow the apparatus manufacturers instructions on the procedure necessary to maintain the desired irradiance.4.1.4 Irradiance uniformity shall be in accordance with the requ
47、irements specified in ISO 4892-1. Requirements for periodic repositioning of specimens when irradiance within the exposure area is less than 90 % of the peak irradiance are described in ISO 4892-1.Table 1 Relative ultraviolet spectral irradiance for UVA-340 (type 1A) lamps for global solar UV radiat

49、90 nm and 400 nm. To determine whether or not a specific UVA-340 (type 1A) lamp meets the requirements of this table, the spectral irradiance from 250 nm to 400 nm shall be measured. Typically, this is done in 2 nm increments. The total irradiance in each passband is then summed and divided by the total irradiance between 290 nm and 400 nm.bThe minimum and maximum limits for UVA-340 (type 1A) lamps in this table are based on more than 60 spectral irradiance measurements with UVA-340 (type 1A) lamps from different
