This category of objects includes wooden items and structural elements such as floors, doors, panelling and roof timbers, paintings, books, graphic documents, textiles, objects made of bon

19、e, ivory or leather. Objects can consist of several hygroscopic materials and different kinds of materials can be used together. To a varying degree, they are vulnerable to changes and fluctuations in ambient RH that produce changes in equilibrium moisture content (EMC) in the materials as they adso

The variations in EMC produce dimensional changes of the materials which may lead to high levels of stress and physical damage such as fracture and deformation. Objects containing organic hygroscopic ma

21、terials need individually determined levels and ranges of temperature and RH as generally they have become acclimatised to the environments in which they have been exposed for significant periods of time. Over time, as temperature and RH fluctuations cause sufficient internal stress to create fractu

22、res, these fractures will open and close as expansion joints enabling a wider range of acceptable temperature and RH fluctuations. The material is said to have “acclimatised“ as it now responds differently to atmospheric conditions, though this acclimatisation should not be given a positive connotat

23、ion because it is due to internal fracturing and results in a form of damage. The associated loss of historical value, aesthetic value and also monetary depends on the size and location of the crack. The determination of the temperature and RH ranges, which are optimal for preservation, is not simpl

24、e due to the variety and complexity of the materials the objects comprise. Temperature has a direct effect on preservation but also an indirect effect as it controls RH of the air. The changes and fluctuations in temperature and RH should be considered from a static point of view of allowable levels

25、 or ranges and from a dynamic point of view, i.e. rate of change, duration of cycles and frequency at which cycles are repeated should be taken into account. Deterioration is often of a cumulative nature and may be exacerbated by the number and the intensity of the individual environmental hazards.

26、Changes and fluctuations of temperature and RH cause non-recoverable physical changes in materials although this is not always perceptible to the human eye. Vulnerability to deterioration mechanisms may increase with ageing. The same temperature and RH fluctuations may generate different effects dep

27、ending on the type of object and its age. Given the extreme complexity of the response of materials found in cultural property to variations of temperature and RH, this standard proposes a methodology leading to general specifications to limit climate-induced physical damage of organic hygroscopic m

28、aterials. Therefore the standard deals with a selected category of damage and does not cover other important deterioration processes affecting other materials influenced by microclimatic factors such as oxidation, acid hydrolysis, biodeterioration, corrosion reactions and dissolution of associated m

29、aterials due to deliquescence, salt crystallisation among others. The proposed methodology is based on an analysis of a particular historical climate environment and a condition survey of the most vulnerable and/or valuable objects. The decision therefore is made on the harmlessness (or otherwise) o

30、f the existing climatic conditions. This approach usually allows for target temperatures and RH ranges that are more flexible than the single target values that are commonly accepted as ideal conditions for preservation of cultural property. This in turns allows a reduction in the environmental cont

31、rol needed to ensure good preservation of objects. Less and simpler equipment is required and investment, maintenance costs can be reduced. The control of temperature and RH can be further minimised by enhancing the passive control capacity of the building. High standards of preservation in historic

32、al buildings can be maintained through the use of affordable and efficient low energy solutions despite increase in the cost of energy. BS EN 15757:2010EN 15757:2010 (E) 5 Any change affecting (or concerning) the environment of an object or a collection have to be decided upon by a team of relevant

33、professionals, which always includes a suitably qualified conservator, experienced in assessing the condition of collections and an expert in environmental control.

44、. 4 General recommendations for organic hygroscopic materials In general, organic hygroscopic materials require a mid RH range as the extremes (high and low RH ranges), affecting the EMC, can result in structural damage, deformation and cracking. However, a material that has been stored for signific

45、ant periods of time even in a poor quality environment will have become acclimatised to the conditions. Careful analysis of the materials needs is required to ensure that specified standard levels do not generate further damage. Any change from a particular historical climatic environment may be pro

46、blematic, even though the new conditions appear better for long-term preservation. If the change is sudden, the strain-stress may generate a climatic shock leading to more intense levels of damage. Even if the change is slow, it may still generate stress and result in damage. Therefore, the strategy

47、 of this standard focuses on maintaining the microclimate in terms of levels, seasonal cycles and fluctuations of temperature and RH, to which the materials have become acclimatized for a long time if this microclimate has been proved not to be harmful. Before a decision is made on the harmfulness o

48、r otherwise of pre-existing climatic conditions, the professional conservator involved in the project should carry out a condition report on the most vulnerable and/or valuable objects to be subjected to any environmental control proposal. If the material has to be moved to a different climatic envi

49、ronment, then a careful, frequent monitoring of the condition of the material is necessary to detect symptoms of deterioration allowing stabilisation of environmental conditions which are appropriate for the needs of the materials. BS EN 15757:2010EN 15757:2010 (E) 8 When dealing with composite objects or when objects made of different materials occupy the same location, an evaluation of potential interaction between materials or parts of objects made of similar materials is necessary, as this situation is more complex
