1.1This test method covers prediction of the heat buildup in rigid and flexible PVC building products above ambient air temperature, relative to black, which occurs due to absorption of the sun's energy.
Note 1:This test method is expected to be applicable to all types of colored plastics. The responsible subcommittee intends to broaden the scope beyond PVC when data on other materials is submitted for review.
Note 2:There are no ISO standards covering the primary subject matter of this test method.
1.2Rigid PVC exterior profile extrusions for assembled windows and doors are covered in Specification D4726.
1.3Rigid PVC exterior profiles for fencing are covered in Specification F964.
