1. Scope

1.1 This specification provides specific information for the manufacturing and use of metal black and white panel temperature devices to measure temperatures that estimate highest maximum (black) and lowest maximum (white) temperatures of coated metal specimens during natural weathering tests.

1.1.1 The construction of a black or white panel has a significant effect on the indicated temperature. This standard describes a robust construction from the panels investigated, which has been shown to provide the highest, most consistent temperatures when compared side-by-side with other black panel constructions.

1.2 This specification includes details on design requirements and quantitative measurement techniques, which will lead to the proper selection of materials and use for black and white panel temperature sensors.

1.3 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 requirements prior to use.

Note 1There is no equivalent ISO standard describing the selection and use of black panel sensors for natural weathering tests.

2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
