Plastics - Method for estimating heat build up of flat surfaces by simulated solar radiation

This European Standard specifies a method for estimating the temperature increase of a flat polymer
surface, due to its solar radiant energy absorption, compared to the ambient temperature.
For that purpose, a specimen and black and white reference plates are exposed to simulated solar
radiation under specified conditions (simulated solar radiation, ambient air temperature, convective
flow). For opaque specimens, a thermally sensitive electrical element at the backside or a pyrometer is
used to measure the surface temperature. For translucent specimens, a pyrometer is used to measure
surface temperature.
NOTE Some specific polymeric materials are translucent (transparent) and might have a transmittance
window in a wavelength range where the used pyrometer is sensitive (e.g. polyethylene). The surface temperature
of these materials cannot be measured with the contact and the contactless method.

Plastiques - Méthode d'estimation de l'échauffement de surfaces planes par rayonnement solaire simulé

La présente Norme Européenne spécifie une méthode visant à estimer l’augmentation de la température d’une surface de polymère plane par rapport à la température ambiante, causée par l’absorption de l’énergie solaire rayonnante par cette surface.
À cet effet, une éprouvette et des plaques de référence noires et blanches sont exposées au rayonnement solaire simulé dans des conditions spécifiées (rayonnement solaire simulé, température de l’air ambiant, flux de convection). S’agissant des éprouvettes opaques, un élément électrique thermosensible placé sur leur face arrière ou un pyromètre est utilisé pour mesurer la température superficielle. Un pyromètre est utilisé pour mesurer la température superficielle des éprouvettes translucides.
NOTE   Quelques matériaux polymères spécifiques sont translucides (transparents) et peuvent avoir une plage de transmittance dans un domaine de longueurs d’ondes dans lequel le pyromètre utilisé est sensible (par exemple, le polyéthylène). La température superficielle de ces matériaux ne peut pas être mesurée par les méthodes avec contact et sans contact.

Polimerni materiali - Metoda za ugotavljanje toplotno ojačenih ravnih površin s simulacijo sončnega obsevanja

Ta evropski standard določa metodo za ugotavljanje porasta temperature ravne polimerne površine zaradi vpijanja sončne energije v primerjavi s temperaturo okolice. V ta namen se vzorčna bela in črna referenčna plošča izpostavita simuliranemu sončnemu obsevanju pod določenimi pogoji (simulirano sončno obsevanje, temperatura zraka v okolici, konvekcijski tok). Pri neprosojnih vzorcih se za merjenje temperature površine uporablja termalno občutljiv električni element na hrbtni strani pirometra. Pri prosojnih vzorcih se za merjenje temperature površine uporablja pirometer.
OPOMBA Nekateri posebni polimerni materiali so prosojni (prozorni) in imajo morda okno prehodnosti v razponu valovne dolžine, kjer je uporabljeni pirometer občutljiv (npr. polietilen). Temperature površine teh materialov ni mogoče izmeriti z metodo kontakta in metodo brez kontakta.

EN 16795:2015 (E) 4 Introduction Solar radiation causes the temperature of irradiated surfaces to rise substantially above the temperature of the surrounding air. The resulting surface temperature depends on the climatic parameters at the location in question, the spectral absorption of the surface, the geometric dimensions and on the specific structure of the object. Generally, the darker the colour, the more the sun's energy is absorbed and the higher is the heat build-up. The performance characteristics of most of the materials are also defined by the in service temperature. Such materials can be window profiles or other polymeric carrier materials. The micro climate at house walls is also essential defined by the absorbed solar radiation (depending on the material properties). The same applies for interior room and automobile temperatures. The examples reveal the significance of the knowledge of the temperature of sun irradiated surfaces. If the temperature magnitude is estimated to be critical, provisions can be taken to optimize the in-service micro climate, e.g. reduction of the in-service temperature by improvement of the spectral reflection characteristics or appropriate change in design and improving the air conditioning.
