Seope* 1.1 This practice covers the basic principles and operating procedures for using xenon arc light and water apparatus Intended to reproduce the weathering effects that occur when materials are exposed to sunlight (either direct or through window glass) and moisture as rain or dew in actual use. This practice is limited to the procedures for obtaining, measuring, and controlling conditions of exposure. A number of exposure procedures are listed in an appendix; however, this practice oes not specify the exposure conditions best suited for the material to be tested. ‘Nore I~—Practce GISI desribes performance criteria forall exposure devives that use Iaboretory light sources. This practice replaces Practice G26, which describes very specific designs for devices used for xenon-ate exposures. The apparatus described in Practice G26 is covered by this practice. 1.2 Test specimens are exposed to filtered xenon are light under controlled environmental conditions. Different types of Xenon arc light sources and different filter combinations are described. 1.3 Specimen preparation and evaluation of the results are covered in ASTM methods or specifications for specific materials. General guidance is given in Practice G151 and ISO 4892-1. More specific information about methods for deter- mining the change in properties after exposure and reporting these results is described in Practice D5870. 1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard, No other units of measurement are included in this standard, 15 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

Signi 5.1 The use of this apparatus is intended to induce property ‘changes associated with the end use conditions, including, the effects of sunlight, moisture, and heat. These exposures may inctnde a means ta inirodnce moistare 19 the test specimen. Exposures are not intended to simulate the deterioration caused by localized weather phenomena, such as atmospheric pollution, biological attack, and saltwater exposure. Alternatively, the exposure may simulate the effects of sunlight through window glass. Typically, these exposures would in- clude moisture in the form of humidity. [Nore 2—Caution: Refer to Practice G15] for full cautionary guidance applicable to all laboratory weathering devices, 5.2 Variation in results may be expected when operating. conditions are varied within the accepted limits of this practice. Therefore, no reference shall be made to results from the use of this practice unless accompanied by a report detailing the specific operating conditions in conformance with the Report Section. 5.2.1 It is recommended that a similar material of known performance (a control) be exposed simultaneously with the test specimen to provide a standard for comparative purposes. It is best practice to use control materials known to have relatively poor and good durability. It is recommended that at least three replicates of each material evaluated be exposed in ‘each test to allow for statistical evaluation of results 6. Apparatus 6.1 Laboratory Light Source—The light source shall be one (or more quartz jacketed xenon arc lamps which emit radiation from below 270 nm in the ultraviolet through the visible spectrum and into the infrared. In order for xenon arcs to simulate terrestrial daylight, filters must be used to remove short wavelength UV radiation, Filters to reduce irradiance at wavelengths shorter than 310 nm must be used to simulate daylight filtered through window glass. In addition, filters to remove infrared radiation may be used to prevent unrealistic heating of test specimens that can cause thermal degradation not experienced during outdoor exposures. 6.1.1 The following factors can affect the spectral power distribution of filtered xenon are light sources as used in these apparatus: 6.1.1.1 Differences in the composition and thickness of filters can have large effects on the amount of short wavelength ‘UV radiation transmitted. 6.1.1.2 Aging of filters can result in changes in filter transmission.
