Short check of weather resistance
-
6.1.
-
Purpose and application
-
6.1.1
-
The short test of weather resistance (simulation of the free weathering by filtered xenon arc radiation and irrigation) of the signal lights is carried out according to IEC publication 68 parts 2-3, 2-5 and 2-9 with the following additions:
-
6.1.2
-
The short test of the weather resistance in accordance with this publication shall be used to imitate the natural outdoor weathering in a test instrument by means of defined and reproducible conditions in order to produce the products produced on plastic products. To accelerate property changes.
-
6.1.3
-
The short test is carried out in a tester with filtered xenon arc radiation and periodic artificial sprinkler. After weathering, measured by the product of irradiance and duration of irradiation, properties of the patterns are compared with those of non-weathered patterns of the same origin. In the first place, such characteristics are to be used, which are decisive for practical use, such as: B. Colour, Surface Finish, Impact Strength, Tensile Strength, Crack Elongation.
-
6.1.4
-
For a comparison of the results with those of the free weathering, it is assumed that the changes in the properties of the free weathering are mainly due to the global radiation and the simultaneous effect of oxygen, water and heat on the Material is caused.
-
6.1.5
-
In the case of the short test, it is therefore particularly important to ensure that the radiation in the test device of the global radiation (see IEC publication) is largely adapted. The filtered xenon arc radiation used for this purpose has a radiation function, which simulates the global radiation.
-
6.1.6
-
According to the experience gained so far, in the case of compliance with the specified test conditions, there is a ranking correlation of the weather resistance in the short test to the results of the free weathering. Due to the independence of location, climate and season, the short test has the advantage of reproducibility as well as the independence of day-to-night change and season the advantage of the reduced test time.
-
6.2.
-
Number of Construction Patterns
For the purpose of checking the weather resistance, if nothing else is agreed, a sufficient number of construction patterns will be used. A sufficient number of non-weathered patterns is required for comparison.
-
6.3.
-
Pre-treatment of the building patterns
The construction samples shall be checked in the delivery condition, unless otherwise agreed. For comparison, construction samples are stored in the dark at room temperature during the test period.
-
6.4.
-
Tester
The test device consists essentially of a ventilated test chamber, in the centre of which the radiation source is located. Optical filters are arranged around the radiation source. In a distance to the radiation source filter system required to achieve the irradiation intensity prescribed in point 6.4.1, the mounting brackets for the construction patterns rotate about the longitudinal axis of the system. The irradiance shall not deviate from the arithmetic mean of the irradiance of the individual surface elements by more than ± 10% on any surface element of the whole area occupied by construction samples.
-
6.4.1
-
Radiation source
-
6.4.1.1
-
A xenon arc emitter is used as the radiation source. The radiation flux must be selected in such a way that the irradiance on the surface of the design is 1000 ± 200 W. m-2 in the wavelength range from 300 to 830 nm (irradiation measuring instrument see point 6.9).
-
6.4.1.2
-
When using air-cooled xenon arc radiators, the ozone-containing waste air must not pass into the test chamber; it must be removed separately.
-
6.4.1.3
-
Experience values show that the radiation flux of the xenon arc radiator drops to 80% of the initial value after approximately 1500 hours of operation; after this time, the proportion of ultraviolet radiation also has to be compared with the other radiation components. Appreciably reduces. Therefore, the xenon arc emitter must be replaced after this time (see also information from the manufacturers of xenon arc radiators).
-
6.4.2
-
Optical Filters
-
6.4.2.1
-
Optical filters must be arranged between the radiation source and the mounting brackets for the construction patterns, so that the radiation function of the filtered Xe nonarc radiation is that of the global radiation (see IEC publication 68 parts 2 to 9). as much as possible.
-
6.4.2.2
-
All filter glasses have to be cleaned regularly in order to avoid undesired reduction of the irradiance. The filters are to be replaced if the similarity of the filtered xenon arc radiation with the global radiation is no longer maintained.
-
6.4.2.3
-
The information of the test equipment manufacturers must be taken into account by means of suitable optical filters. Manufacturers shall ensure that the requirements set out in point 6.4 are met when a test equipment is delivered.
-
6.5.
-
Ventilation and air humidification device
-
6.5.1
-
It is necessary to provide for a type-type humidification which is comparable in its effect to the irrigation and the baptism in the open air. The device for sprinkling the design must be designed in such a way that the entire surface of the design to be tested is wetted with water during the sprinting process. It is controlled by a program switching device in such a way that the sprinkled dry cycle according to point 6.10.3 is maintained. In order to comply with the relative humidity in accordance with point 6.10.3, the air in the test chamber must be moistened in a suitable manner. For irrigation and humidification, distilled or fully desalinated (electrical conductivity < 5 µ S/cm) of water must be used.
-
6.5.2
-
The supply containers, the supply lines and the spray nozzles for distilled or fully deionized water must be made of corrosion-resistant material. The relative humidity in the test chamber is measured by means of a hygrometer, which is protected against irrigation and direct irradiation, and is controlled with the aid of the hygrometer.
-
6.5.3
-
When fully deionized water or return water is used, as is known from the lacquer test, the danger of the formation of deposits or of the abrasion on the construction pattern surfaces is by means of abrasives.
-
6.6.
-
Aeration device
In order to comply with the black-panel temperature according to point 6.10.2, clean, filtered, humidified and, if appropriate, tempered air circulates through the test chamber via the construction pattern. Air guidance and air velocity must be selected in such a way as to ensure uniform tempering of all surface elements of the system's structure holders.
-
6.7.
-
Mounting brackets
Each holder made of stainless steel may be used which allows the construction to be fixed under the conditions specified in point 6.10.1.
-
6.8.
-
Blackboard thermometer
-
6.8.1
-
A black panel thermometer is used to measure the black panel temperature during the dry period in the plane of the building patterns. This thermometer consists of a plate made of stainless steel, which is thermally insulated from its holder, with the masses of the type-type holder and a thickness of 0.9 ± 0.1 mm. Both surfaces of this plate are provided with a shiny black lacquer with good weather resistance, which has a reflectance of at most 5% above a wavelength of 780 nm. The temperature of the plate is measured by a bimetallic thermometer, the temperature sensor of which is placed in the centre of the plate with good thermal contact.
-
6.8.2
-
It is not recommended to leave the black panel thermometer in the test equipment during the whole test period, as specified in point 6.10. It is sufficient to use the thermometer, for example. For example, use every 250 hours for a 30-minute period in the test device and then read the black-panel temperature during the dry period.
-
6.9.
-
Irradiation meter
-
6.9.1
-
The irradiation (unit: W. s m-2) is the product of the irradiation intensity (unit: W. m-2) and the duration of the irradiation procedure (unit: s). The irradiation on the construction pattern surfaces in the testing apparatus is measured by means of a suitable irradiation measuring device which is tuned to the radiation function of the radiation filter system used. The irradiation measuring instrument shall be designed or calibrated in such a way that the infrared radiation above 830 nm is not evaluated.
-
6.9.2
-
The suitability of an irradiation measuring instrument depends essentially on whether its radiation receiver has good weather and ageing resistance, and whether its spectral sensitivity in the area of the radiation function of the global radiation is sufficient. is.
-
6.9.3
-
A radiation meter can, for example, be B. from the following parts:
-
a)
-
a silicon photoelement as a radiation receiver,
-
b)
-
an optical filter placed on top of the photo element, and
-
c)
-
an electricity meter (Coulometer), which measures the product (unit: C = A. s) from the photoelectric current of the photoelement (unit: A) proportional to the irradiance and the duration of irradiation (unit: s).

The display of the irradiation measuring instrument shall be calibrated. This calibration should be reviewed after one year of operation and should be corrected if necessary.
-
6.9.5
-
The irradiance on the surface of the building pattern is dependent on the distance from the radiation source. For this reason, the surfaces of the building pattern should have as far as possible the same distance from the radiation source as the receiver surface of the irradiation measuring device. If this is not possible, the irradiation read on the irradiation measuring device is to be multiplied by a correction factor.

-
Implementation
-
6.10.1
-
The patterns are fixed in the brackets in such a way that water cannot collect on the back sides of the building patterns. The fastening is intended to require as little mechanical stress as possible of the design. In order to achieve uniform irradiation and sprinkling of the building patterns, the patterns rotate during the test with 1 to 5 cycles per minute around the radiation source-filter system and the sprinkling device. In the normal case, only one side of the building pattern is weathered. Depending on the specifications in the IEC publications or by agreement, the front and back sides of the same building pattern can also be weathered. At the same time, each side should be exposed to equally large irradiation and sprinkles. The weathering of the front and rear sides of one and the same building pattern with equal irradiation and sprinkling can be achieved by periodic rotation of the building pattern. In the case of devices with spiral buoyant drive, the device is automatically reached when a holder is used in the form of an open frame.
-
6.10.2
-
The black panel temperature at the site of the construction samples during the dry period is adjusted and regulated according to IEC publications for the product in question. Unless otherwise agreed, a mean black panel temperature of + 45 ° C shall be maintained. The mean black-panel temperature is understood to mean the arithmetic mean of the black panel temperature reached at the end of the dry periods. In the dry period, the local deviation ± 5 ° C may be ± 3 ° C in arbitration cases. In order to comply with the required black-panel temperature and to irradiate the front and rear sides of the building samples equally strongly (see point 6.10.1), the construction samples can be automatically turned 180 ° after each rotation (Wendelauf). In this case, the black panel thermometer and the irradiation measuring device are also included in the coil.
-
6.10.3
-
The design and the receiving surface of the irradiation measuring instrument as set out in point 6.9, fixed in the brackets, shall be irradiated and, at the same time, shall be subject to the following repeated cycle:
| a) |
Beregnung: |
3 minutes |
| b) |
Dry period: |
17 minutes |
In the dry period, the relative humidity must be 60 to 80%.
-
6.11.
-
Test duration and test procedures
The test is carried out according to IEC Publication 68 Part 2-9 Test procedure B. The test duration is 720 hours when the sprint cycle is used in accordance with point 6.10.3. It is recommended to check the weather resistance on one and the same building pattern (in case of non-destructive testing of the property change to be investigated, such as For example, weather fastness) or several building patterns (in case of destructive testing, such as B. the impact strength) to be carried out in accordance with the radiation levels to be agreed. Thus, the course of a property change of a plastic product can be determined during the total duration of the weathering.
-
6.12.
-
Evaluation
After the end of the weathering, the design must be at least 24 hours in the dark at an air temperature of + 23 ° C, a dew point temperature of + 12 ° C, a relative humidity of 50%, an air speed = 1 m/s and an air temperature of + 23 ° C, air speed = 1 m/s. Air pressure of 860 hPa to 1060 hPa stored. (The permissible deviation of the air temperature may be ± 2 ° C, the permissible deviation of the relative humidity of the air may be ± 6%). These patterns, as well as the comparison of the construction samples referred to in points 6.2 and 6.3, shall be examined with regard to the specified properties in accordance with the requirements of sections 2.01 (1) and (2) and § 3.01 (12).

In case of magnetic compasses outside the rowing house, e.g. For example, on the roof of the rowing house, the holding device must be provided with a removable protective cover. In such cases, it must be ensured that adequate ventilation of the space inside the holding device is ensured.
-
8.
-
Compensator
Suitable devices are to be provided for compensating for the coefficients B and C originating from the fixed marine magnetism and of the coefficient D originating from the induced marine magnetism. The following are suitable: B. Plug devices for the magnets in the longitudinal and transverse direction of the ship. In order to compensate for the coefficient D, D-spheres, D-tubes, and D-strips attached to or under the magnetic compass can be used.
-
a)
-
These compensating devices must be permanently and safely installed and easily accessible and convenient for the compass adjuster. Unintended changes in the compensated values must be excluded.
-
b)
-
The compensating magnets for the coefficients B and C shall be fitted as far as possible below the magnetic compass in accordance with Appendix 1. If, for reasons of space, it is necessary to attach it to or behind the magnetic compass or the on-board or control-board side, the magnets must be mounted symmetrically with respect to the magnetic compass.
-
c)
-
The compensating magnets for B shall be fitted in such a way that the transverse plane of the ship through the centre of the rosebrine shall halve precisely the compensating magnets. The compensating magnets for C shall be so arranged that the longitudinal plane of the ship through the centre of the roses precisely bisects the compensers.
-
d)
-
The material for the compensating means of the coefficients B and C originating from the solid ship magnetism must have a coercive field strength of at least 11.2 kA/m.
-
e)
-
The material for the compensation means of the coefficient D originating from the volatile magnetism may have a coercive field strength of not more than 120 kA/m.
-
f)
-
It is recommended to select the magnetic moment for magnets to compensate for the fixed longitudinal and transverse field strengths of between 1.5 Am² and 3.0 Am² or 4.0 Am² and 5.0 Am².
-
g)
-
It is recommended that the so-called Mu-metal soft-iron strips be used as D-strips.
In the case of ball compasses, these are expediently designed as brackets, in the case of flat glass compasses as small D-strips.
-
h)
-
Mechanical compensating devices, in which the deflection coefficients B and C can be adjusted by constant rotation or displacement of compensating magnets, may be installed only if they are used by the competent authority for use in the Board have been found to be suitable and safe.
-
9.
-
Possibilities of execution for holding devices
-
a)
-
A distinction is made between the installation of magnetic control compasses:
-
aa)
-
Installation in the driver's console, on a table or a console in the rowing house,
-
bb)
-
Installation in the rowing house under the Ruderhaus ceiling (cover compass),
-
cc)
-
Installation on the rowing house roof.
-
b)
-
In the case of the installation referred to in point (a) (aa), the following must be observed: the application of the compensating means for the coefficients B and C must be carried out under the magnetic compass as far as possible. In exceptional cases, where this is not possible, the installation can be carried out on both sides or in front of or behind the magnetic compass on the table, the console or on the driving desk. A prerequisite for this is, however, that sufficient space is available on both sides as well as in front of and behind the magnetic compass for the attachment of the compensating means, d. h. At a distance of about 600 mm from the centre of the roses in advance and axle orientation as well as on both sides in the transverse direction of the ship, no equipment may be installed. The space under the magnetic compass, in which the compensating device is accommodated, must be delimited and closable. Equipment made of magnetisable material must not be stored in this room.
-
c)
-
For the installation of the magnetic compass referred to in point (a) double letter bb, the following is recommended:
The holding device of the magnetic compasses (cover compasses) mounted under the ceiling of the rowing house generally consists of two holding arms with cardan bearings for receiving the cardan pins of the magnetic compass. The alignment of the magnetic compass according to § 3 no. 4 may be For example, the two holding arms are fixedly connected to a cross-member of non-magnetizable material and of sufficient strength at a distance from the cardan axes. The traverse is rotatably mounted in its center in the midship plane under the ceiling with a strong, non-magnetizable screw bolt in the projecting ends of the crossmember allowing the alignment and thereafter the final Attachment. The ceiling covering in the area of the traverse and of the compensation devices must be reinforced as far as is necessary. Since the use of D-tubes and D-balls does not normally take place because of the difficult attachment under the ceiling of the rowing house, the cover compasses should be provided with a device for the attachment of D-strips.
-
d)
-
When installing the magnetic compass referred to in point (a) (cc), the following must be observed:
Since the magnetic compass on the roof of the rowing house is exposed to the weather conditions and temperature fluctuations, the latter is to be provided with a protective hood in the holding device. This must be splash-proof, removable and lockable. In order to allow an alignment of the holding device in accordance with § 3 No. 4 after assembly, the seal between the rudder house roof and the holding device must not be made by potting compound or similar material. If the distance between the rose magnets and the lower edge of the ceiling of the rowing house is 600 mm and smaller, then the B and C magnets are placed in plug devices under the rudder house ceiling. However, if this distance is exceeded, as is the case with the so-called shortened compass stands, the plug devices must be installed in this holding device. Since it is not always possible to enter the rowing house roof for the replacement of the lighting lamp, it must be possible to replace it from the rowing house.
