Scope

4.1 Objectives—The use of small chambers to evaluate VOC emissions from indoor materials has several objectives:

4.1.1 Develop techniques for screening of products for VOC emissions;

4.1.2 Determine the effect of environmental variables (that is, temperature, humidity, air speed, and air change rate) on emission rates;

4.1.3 Rank various products and product types with respect to their emissions profiles (for example, emission factors, specific organic compounds emitted);

4.1.4 Provide compound-specific data on various organic sources to guide field studies and assist in evaluating indoor air quality in buildings;

4.1.5 Provide emissions data for the development and verification of models used to predict indoor concentrations of organic compounds; and

4.1.6 Develop data useful to stakeholders and other interested parties for assessing product emissions and developing control options or improved products.

4.2 Mass Transfer Considerations—Small chamber evaluation of emissions from indoor materials requires consideration of the relevant mass transfer processes. Three fundamental processes control the rate of emissions of organic vapors from indoor materials; evaporative mass transfer from the surface of the material to the overlying air, desorption of adsorbed compounds, and diffusion within the material.

4.2.1 The evaporative mass transfer of a given VOC from the surface of the material to the overlying air can be expressed as:

where:
ER	=	emission rate, mg/h,
A	=	source area, m2,
km	=	mass transfer coefficient, m/h,
VPs	=	vapor pressure at the surface of the material, Pa,
VPa	=	vapor pressure in the air above the surface, Pa,
MW	=	molecular weight, mg/mol, ASTM D5116-17 Referenced Document ASTM D1193 Standard Specification for Reagent Water ASTM D1356 Standard Terminology Relating to Sampling and Analysis of Atmospheres*， 2024-04-20 Update ASTM D1914 Standard Practice for Conversion Units and Factors Relating to Sampling and Analysis of Atmospheres ASTM D3195 Standard Practice for Rotameter Calibration ASTM D3609 Standard Practice for Calibration Techniques Using Permeation Tubes ASTM D3686 Standard Practice for Sampling Atmospheres to Collect Organic Compound Vapors (Activated Charcoal Tube Adsorption Method) ASTM D3687 Standard Practice for Analysis of Organic Compound Vapors Collected by the Activated Charcoal Tube Adsorption Method ASTM D6007 Standard Test Method for Determining Formaldehyde Concentration in Air from Wood Products Using a Small Scale Chamber ASTM D6177 Standard Practice for Determining Emission Profiles of Volatile Organic Chemicals Emitted from Bedding Sets ASTM D6196 Standard Practice for Selection of Sorbents and Pumped Sampling/Thermal Desorption Analysis Procedures for Volatile Organic Compunds in Air ASTM D6330 Standard Practice for Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds &40;Excluding Formaldehyde&41; Emissions from Wood-Based Panels Using Small Environmental Chambers Under Defined Test Conditions ASTM D6485 Standard Guide for Risk Characterization of Acute and Irritant Effects of Short-Term Exposure to Volatile Organic Chemicals Emitted from Bedding Sets ASTM D6670 Standard Practice for Full-Scale Chamber Determination of Volatile Organic Emissions from Indoor Materials/Products ASTM D6803 Standard Practice for Testing and Sampling of Volatile Organic Compounds (Including Carbonyl Compounds) Emitted from Architectural Coatings Using Small-Scale Environmental Chambers ASTM D7143 Standard Practice for Emission Cells for the Determination of Volatile Organic Emissions from Indoor Materials/Products ASTM D7339 Standard Test Method for Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds Emitted from Carpet using a Specific Sorbent Tube and Thermal Desorption / Gas Chromatography ASTM D7706 Standard Practice for Rapid Screening of VOC Emissions from Products Using Micro-Scale Chambers ASTM D7911 Standard Guide for Using Reference Material to Characterize Measurement Bias Associated with Volatile Organic Compound Emission Chamber Test ASTM E1333 Standard Test Method for Determining Formaldehyde Concentrations in Air and Emission Rates from Wood Products Using a Large Chamber ASTM E355 Standard Practice for Gas Chromatography Terms and Relationships*， 2024-04-20 Update ASTM D5116-17 history 2017 ASTM D5116-17 Standard Guide for Small-Scale Environmental Chamber Determinations of Organic Emissions from Indoor Materials/Products 2010 ASTM D5116-10 Standard Guide for Small-Scale Environmental Chamber Determinations of Organic Emissions From Indoor Materials/Products 2006 ASTM D5116-06 Standard Guide for Small-Scale Environmental Chamber Determinations of Organic Emissions From Indoor Materials/Products 1997 ASTM D5116-97 Standard Guide for Small-Scale Environmental Chamber Determinations of Organic Emissions from Indoor Materials/Products Copyright ©2024 All Rights Reserved
