Full Description

1.1 This practice covers the selection of test conditions for accelerated exposure testing of coatings and related products in xenon arc devices conducted according to Practices G 151 and G 155. This practice also covers the preparation of test specimens, the test conditions suited for coatings, and the evaluation of test results. Table 1 describes commonly used test conditions.

Note 1 - ISO 11341:1994 also describes xenon-arc exposures of paints and coatings. However, the exposure conditions described in ISO 11341 are different than those listed in Table 1.
