Abstract

GOMES, J.F.P. et al. Notice on a prototype of a new test chamber for rubber infill evaluation. C.Tecn. Mat. [online]. 2010, vol.22, n.1-2, pp.91-95. ISSN 0870-8312.

A test chamber was projected and built (according to ISO 16000-9 Standard) to simulate atmospheric conditions experienced by rubber infill (when applied in synthetic turf pitches) and measure accurately the different leachates as well as emission parameters. This procedure is to be considered as a technical option to the lysimeter “global turf system evaluation” when the rubber infill alone is to be evaluated. The advantage of the proposed option considering this “Test Chamber” is its simplicity and economy. This test chamber is actually installed and being used for tests in LAIST.

Keywords : Artificial Turf; Toxicological Assessment; Test chamber.
