ASTM E-595 Dedicated System
Standard Test Method for Total Mass Loss and Collected Volatile Condensable Materials from Outgassing in a Vacuum Environment
Standard Test Method for Total Mass Loss and Collected Volatile Condensable Materials from Outgassing in a Vacuum Environment
- Standard with 2 samples and 1 blank. Customizable to 6 samples.
- test method which covers a screening technique to determine volatile content of materials when exposed to heat and vacuum in a closed system vacuum environment
- Determine overall mass loss which can be classified into non-condensable and condensable
- Measure total mass loss (TML) - TML of > 1.00 % rejection of spacecraft materials.
- Measure collected volatile condensable materials (CVCM) - CVCM of > 0.10 % rejection of spacecraft materials.
- Measure amount of water vapor regained (WVR)
- Requires 0.1ug micro balance
- spacecraft material testing analysis
- Severe Environment Testing (SET)
- The outgassing performance of a material is vitally important in areas with sensitive electronics, lenses (optics), mirrors, and windows to prevent damage of those items
