2、ear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 In general,it is feasible that the mechanical properties of
3、FRP composites will be affected by environmental conditionssuch as exposure to moisture at elevated temperatures.In orderto make reliable comparisons between different materials underelevated temperature and moisture environmental conditions,itis necessary to standardize the elevated temperature and
4、moisture conditions to which specimens of these materials aresubjected prior to and during testing.This practice definesprocedures for elevated temperature and moisture conditioningof pultruded FRP composites intended for use in structuraldesign applications.The conditioning medium representingeleva
5、ted temperature and moisture exposure described in thisstandard practice is distilled water maintained at 37.8 6 1.5C(100 6 3F)for 1000 hours.1.2 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.Thevalues stated in each system may not be exact e
6、quivalents;therefore,each system shall be used independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in noncon-formance with the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user o
