Significado e uso
5.1 The ability to quickly and accurately assess and predict the long-term weathering properties of plant applied coatings is important for making sound business and technical decisions.

5.2 It is important to include control samples of known field properties to determine the efficacy of the practice on specific substrates and coating systems. These control samples may include materials known to have acceptable and unacceptable field properties for the defects under consideration.

5.3 The results derived from this practice are better used to compare the relative properties of materials tested simultaneously in the same device.

5.4 The inclusion of control samples and their resulting data will help to deal with test variability caused by seasonal or annual changes in important climatic factors.

5.5 Extensive research was conducted in the development of this standard practice. The study showed that this approach was not useful for determining quantitative accelerators. No entanto, this test is useful as a comparison test.

5.6 It is recommended that control samples and samples be repeated at least twice for statistical evaluation of the results. For additional guidance on determining the number of repeats, see Practice G169.

Prática padrão ASTM D5722-2014 para intemperismo acelerado ao ar livre de placas de fibra duras em relevo revestidas de fábrica usando luz solar natural concentrada e procedimentos de congelamento e descongelamento do solo

Etapa 1: Escopo
1.1 This Practice includes techniques for accelerating the weathering effects of factory coated patterning hard fiberboard using the Practice G90’s 1st cycle (concentrated natural sunlight with periodic surface water spray) plus a soil-freeze-thaw cycle (veja a seção 5 of this Practice).

1.2 Tests performed using the methods described in this practice may be used for qualitative assessment of weathering effects. The relative durability of coated cardboard can be well determined by comparing their test results with those of control samples from real-time exposure test experience.

1.3 Os valores expressos em unidades SI ou unidades polegada-libra serão tratados separadamente como valores padrão. Os valores indicados em cada sistema podem não ser exatamente equivalentes; Portanto, cada sistema deve ser usado de forma independente. Combinar valores de dois sistemas pode resultar em não conformidade.

1.4 Esta norma não se destina a abordar todas as questões de segurança, caso existam, associado ao seu uso. É responsabilidade dos usuários desta norma estabelecer práticas adequadas de segurança e saúde e determinar a aplicabilidade das restrições regulatórias antes do uso..
