EXPOSURE OF INTERIOR TRIM MATERIALS IN A CONTROLLED IRRADIANCE

WATER COOLED XENON-ARC APPARATUS

Application

This procedure is used to determine the effects of simulated weather on interior trim materials using a controlled irradiance water cooled xenon-arc Weather-Ometer® with an auxiliary lantern and filters.

Apparatus Required

Operating Filter

335 nm long pass filters (SF-5 filters) or equivalent provided the transmission spectrum is within 95% of the SF-5 filter transmission at all wavelengths. The filters are reversible unless otherwise marked by a coating or etching.

Dimensions for the Ci 5000 series Weather-Ometer®:

339 mm +/- 0.13 mm x 70 mm +/- 0.13 mm x 3 mm +/- 0.52 mm

Dimensions for the Ci 35A, Ci 65A & Ci 4000 Weather-Ometer®:

220 mm +/- 0.13 mm x 70 mm +/- 0.13 mm x 3 mm +/- 0.52 mm

Sample & Test Conditions

Sample Conditioning

All test values indicated herein are based on material conditioned in a controlled atmosphere of 21 +/-2 °C and 50 +/- 5% relative humidity for not less than 24 h prior to testing and tested under the same conditions unless otherwise specified.

Test Conditions

Testing conditions such as black panel temperature, dry bulb temperature, humidity, light cycle times and dark cycle times are equivalent to those outlined in SAE J2412 – Accelerated Exposure of Automotive Interior Trim Components Using a Controlled Irradiance Xenon-Arc Apparatus, Table 1,Section 6.1.5.

Place the 335 nm long pass filters (SF-5 filters) or equivalent into the auxiliary lantern. Orient thelantern around the xenon-arc lamp assembly which is equipped with the Quartz/Type "S" Borosilicate filtered xenon-arc lamp source as outlined in SAE J2412 – Accelerated Exposure of Automotive Interior Trim Components Using a Controlled Irradiance Xenon-Arc Apparatus, Apparatus Set-Up, Section 6.

Exposures are monitored based on measured light at 1.06 W/m2 -/nm@420 nm SAE J2412 –Accelerated Exposure of Automotive Interior Trim Components Using a Controlled Irradiance XenonArc Apparatus, Table 1.

Calibration

Equipment Calibration

As per SAE J2412 – Accelerated Exposure of Automotive Interior Trim Components Using a Controlled Irradiance Xenon-Arc Apparatus, Appendix A, Section A.3 and Appendix B.

Maintenance

Equipment Maintenance

As per SAE J2412 – Accelerated Exposure of Automotive Interior Trim Components Using a Controlled Irradiance Xenon-Arc Apparatus, Appendix A.

Note: SF-5 auxiliary filters should be cleaned at every lamp calibration period or more frequent if necessary.

SF-5 filters and the 420 nm interference filter should be changed per the manufacturer's recommendations/or within 13,000 hours of use.

Exposure

Sample Exposure

As per SAE J2412 – Accelerated Exposure of Automotive Interior Trim Components Using a Controlled Irradiance Xenon-Arc Apparatus, Test Procedure, Section 7.

Evaluation & Reporting

Sample Evaluation and Exposure Report

As per SAE J2412 – Accelerated Exposure of Automotive Interior Trim Components Using a Controlled Irradiance Xenon-Arc Apparatus, Evaluating and Reporting, Section 8 and Exposure Report, Section 9.

AATCC Gray Scale, 10 Step, According to AATCC Evaluation Procedure 1/ISO 105-A02 for Evaluation of Color Change.

Upon request measure the gloss with a 60° glossmeter (or as specified in the applicable Engineering Standard) according to FLTM BI 110-01. Record the unexposed and exposed gloss.
