Description / Abstract:
This practice provides a procedure for the exposure of cover
materials for flat-plate solar collectors to the natural weather
environment at temperatures that are elevated to approximate
operating conditions.
This practice is suitable for exposure of both glass and plastic
solar collector cover materials. Provisions are made for exposure
of single and double cover assemblies to accommodate the need for
exposure of both inner and outer solar collector cover
materials.
This practice does not apply to cover materials for evacuated
collectors or photovoltaics.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard.
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.
