Standard Practice for Accelerated Weathering Test Conditions and Procedures for Bituminous Materials (Fluorescent UV, Water Spray, and Condensation Method)
Also Known As:
The ASTM D4799/D4799M-17 standard provides guidelines for comparing the weathering characteristics of bituminous materials against a control material with known outdoor weathering characteristics. It acknowledges that it is not possible to establish an exact correlation between accelerated and natural weathering due to variations in geographical climates, local weather conditions, and pollutants, as well as material-dependent factors. The standard also mentions that it can potentially be used for materials other than bituminous materials, but their significance and use have not been evaluated.
Furthermore, the standard specifies the test conditions and procedures for conducting fluorescent UV and condensation exposures, which are performed according to Practices G151 and G154 respectively. This practice focuses on bituminous roofing and waterproofing materials and uses the terminology defined in Terminology G113.
