EN ISO 877-3:2010 (E) DIN EN ISO 877-3:2011-03 4 1 Scope This part of ISO 877 specifies a method for exposing plastics to concentrated solar radiation using reflecting concentrators to accelerate the weathering processes. The purpose is to assess pr
25、operty changes produced after specified stages of such exposures. General guidance concerning the scope of ISO 877 is given in ISO 877-1:2009, Clause 1. The reflecting concentrators used in these exposures are sometimes referred to as “Fresnel reflectors” because in cross-section the array of mirror
26、s used to concentrate the solar radiation resembles the cross-section of a Fresnel lens. For additional information about solar concentrating exposures, including a partial list of standards in which they are specified, refer to the Bibliography. 2 Normative references The following referenced docum

In addition, irradiance will not be uniform on all surfaces of a shaped specimen. EN ISO 877-3:2010 (E) DIN EN ISO 877-3:2011-03 7 6 Exp
36、osure conditions 6.1 Orientation of mirrors For specific information on the orientation of the mirrors, refer to ASTM G 90. 6.2 Exposure site Fresnel-reflecting solar concentrating devices operate most effectively at locations that receive at least 3 500 h of sunshine per year and where the average
37、daytime relative humidity is less than 30 %. ASTM G 90 provides requirements for the exposure sites average ratio of direct solar radiation to global normal solar radiation. NOTE In regions that receive 3 500 h of solar radiation and where the average daytime relative humidity is less than 30 %, the
38、 average ratio of direct solar radiation to global normal solar radiation is at least 0,75. Areas that meet these criteria have a minimum diffuse component of solar radiation (sky radiation). The use of reflecting solar concentrator devices in regions of moderate to high diffuse solar irradiance wil
39、l substantially reduce the amount of UV radiation at the specimen target board. Moderate to high levels of humidity and urban aerosols result in scattering of the direct component of solar radiation so that ultraviolet radiation is scattered into the hemispherical sky dome and is not available to be
40、 focused by the mirrors on to the specimen target board. This is shown in Figure 3. In addition, the use of reflecting solar concentrator devices in regions of moderate to high diffuse solar irradiance may give different stability rankings for materials compared to exposures conducted in accordance
41、with ISO 877-2 because of the differences in UV radiation. 6.3 Temperature control Solar concentrating devices are equipped with a blower to cool the specimens. Specimen temperatures for most materials are typically 10 C higher than the maximum temperature which would be reached if an identical spec
42、imen was exposed directly to solar radiation (without concentration) at normal incidence at the same time. If more precise control of specimen temperature is required, the temperature of a black or white panel, the temperature of a black or white standard thermometer, the temperature of a particular
43、 specimen, the air temperature or the temperature indicated by a remote sensor may be monitored and used as an input to control the specimen temperature. If used, report the controlled temperature and any observed deviations in the test report. NOTE 1 Use of this method of temperature control may pr
44、oduce results that are not equivalent to typical solar concentrating exposures and may require longer radiant exposures to produce the same amount of degradation. Unless otherwise specified, if measurement of black- or white-panel temperature is required, the panels shall be constructed, calibrated
45、and maintained in accordance with ASTM G 179. Unless otherwise specified, if measurement of black- or white-standard temperature is required, the panels shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with ISO 4892-1. NOTE 2 If a black-standard temperature is used, the temperature indicated will b
46、e higher than that indicated by a black-panel thermometer under typical exposure conditions. Temperatures during the night-time are typically not controlled. If agreed upon by the interested parties, heat sources placed behind the specimens may be used to control night-time temperatures. If so, the
47、method used to control night-time temperatures shall be included in the test report.

49、 ASTM G 90. The irradiance may be varied by changing the number of mirrors used in the device. This will also change the specimen temperature. Any modifications to the exposure conditions to modify the irradiance in the exposure area, as well as the method used to calculate or measure the modified irradiance level, shall be completely described in the test report. NOTE These modifications will change the time necessary to produce the same radiant exposure in devices using all mirrors, and may not produce an equivalent result
