5.1 The use of the equipment is intended to cause changes in performance related to the conditions of end use, including the effects of sunlight, moisture and heat. These exposures may include methods of introducing moisture to the specimen. Exposure is not intended to simulate deterioration caused by local weather phenomena such as atmospheric pollution, biological attacks, and salt water exposure. Alternatively, exposure can simulate the effects of sunlight passing through a window pane. Madalas na, these exposures will include moisture in the form of humidity.

Tala 2: Please refer to Practice G151 for the complete warning guidelines applicable to all laboratory aging equipment.

5.2 Changes in results may be expected when operating conditions vary within the acceptable limits of this practice. Consequently, no reference to the results of the use of this approach may be made unless accompanied by a report detailing the specific operating conditions of section 10.

5.2.1 It is recommended that similar materials (mga kontrol) with known properties be exposed at the same time as the sample to provide a standard for comparison purposes. It is better to use control materials that are known to have relatively poor durability and good performance. It is recommended that at least three replicates of each evaluated material be performed in each test to allow for statistical evaluation of the results

1.1 This practice covers the fundamentals and operating procedures for the use of open flame carbon arcs and water installations and aims to reproduce the weathering effects that occur when materials are exposed to sunlight (directly or through window panes) and moisture (such as rain or dew) sa aktwal na paggamit. This practice is limited to procedures for obtaining, measuring, and controlling exposure conditions. Some exposure procedures are listed in the appendix; Gayunpaman, this practice does not specify the appropriate exposure conditions for the material under test.

Tala 1: Practice G151 describes performance standards for all exposure equipment using laboratory light sources. This practice replaces Practice G23, which describes the very specific design of equipment for carbon arc exposure. The equipment described in Practice G23 is covered by this practice.

1.2 Under controlled environmental conditions, the sample is exposed to filtered open flame carbon arc light. Different filters are described.

1.3 Sample preparation and result evaluation are included in the material specific method or specification. General guidance is given in Practice G151 and ISO 4892-1. More specific information is described in Practice D5870 about methods for determining post-exposure characteristic changes and reporting these results.

1.4 Values expressed in SI units shall be considered standard.

1.5 Ang pamantayang ito ay hindi nilayon upang matugunan ang lahat ng mga alalahanin sa kaligtasan, kung meron man, na nauugnay sa paggamit nito. Responsibilidad ng mga gumagamit ng pamantayang ito na magtatag ng angkop na kaligtasan, mga kasanayan sa kalusugan at kapaligiran at upang matukoy ang pagiging angkop ng mga paghihigpit sa regulasyon bago gamitin.

1.5.1 If any ozone is generated by the operation of the light source, it should be removed from the sample and the operator through the exhaust system.

1.6 This practice is technically similar to ISO 4892-4.

1.7 Ang internasyonal na pamantayang ito ay batay sa mga prinsipyo ng standardisasyon na kinikilala ng internasyonal na itinatag sa Desisyon sa mga Prinsipyo para sa Pag unlad ng mga Internasyonal na Pamantayan, Mga Patnubay at Rekomendasyon na inilabas ng Komite sa mga Teknikal na Hadlang sa Kalakalan ng World Trade Organization.
