Standard Practice for Accelerated Weathering Test Conditions and Procedures for Bituminous Materials (Xenon-Arc Method)
Also Known As:
The ASTM D4798/D4798M-11 (R2021) standard is a practice that provides test conditions and procedures for accelerated weathering testing using the xenon-arc method for bituminous materials. The purpose of this practice is to compare the weathering characteristics of bituminous materials with a control material of known outdoor durability. However, it is important to note that there is no single relationship between time in accelerated tests and time in natural weathering due to geographical climatic variations, local weather variations, and variations in local pollutants.
The standard recommends using outdoor weathering to validate the laboratory accelerated test in terms of performance ranking. Additionally, the practice can be applied to materials other than bituminous materials, but the significance and use for these materials have not been evaluated.
