specimens are to be preconditioned for flammability (94 V0, V1 & V2) testing. 1. two sets of five specimens each are to be preconditioned in accordance with ASTM D618 at 23 C, 50 RH for 48 hours. 2. two sets of five specimens each are to be preconditioned in an air-circulating oven for 168 hours at 70 C and then cooled in desiccator for at least 4 hours at room temp prior to testing. (as an alternative, industrial laminates may be conditioned for 24 hours at 125 C.)
hope this helps. vijay wani Dow Chemical From: Gary McInturff [mailto:gary.mcintu...@worldwidepackets.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2003 1:57 PM To: richwo...@tycoint.com; emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org Subject: RE: Fire Retardants Richard, I think that is one of the reason that the flame tests require aging in ovens before UL et al burn them, but I don't know for certain.
