ASTM G 151 Document Information:
Title
Standard Practice for Exposing Nonmetallic Materials in Accelerated Test Devices That Use Laboratory Light Sources
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Nov 15, 2006
Scope:
This practice provides general procedures to be used when
exposing nonmetallic materials in accelerated test devices that use
laboratory light sources. Detailed information regarding procedures
to be used for specific devices are found in standards describing
the particular device being used. For example, detailed information
covering exposures in devices that use open flame carbon arc,
enclosed carbon arc, xenon arc and fluorescent UV light source are
found in Practices G 152, G 153, and G 154, and G 154
respectively.
NOTE 1—Carbon-arc, xenon arc, and fluorescent UV exposures were
also described in Practices 23, G 26, and G 53 which referred to
very specific equipment designs. Practices G 152, G 153, and G 154,
and G 155 are performance based standards that replace Practices G
23, G 26, and G 53.
This practice also describes general performance requirements
for devices used for exposing nonmetallic materials to laboratory
light sources. This information is intended primarily for producers
of laboratory accelerated exposure devices.
This practice provides information on the use and interpretation
of data from accelerated exposure tests. Specific information about
methods for determining the property of a nonmetallic material
before and after exposure are found in standards describing the
method used to measure each property. Information regarding the
reporting of results from exposure testing of plastic materials is
described in Practice D 5870.
NOTE 2—Guide G 141 provides information for addressing
variability in exposure testing of nonmetallic materials. Guide G
169 provides information for application of statistics to exposure
test results
NOTE 3—This standard is technically equivalent to ISO 4892, Part
1.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
