Appendix C. Sensor material
properties
The
sensor
consists
of
6061
alumin
i
um
(hard
anodized),
RTD,
3M
F9473PC
adhesive,
and
Santoprene®
jacketed
cable.

adhesive
UV
resistance:
Excellent
UV
resistance
through
outdoor
weathering
tests.
Temperature
resistance:
Relatively
unaffected
by
long-term
exposure
to
elevated
temperatures.
Adhesive
can
tolerate
periodic
short-term
exposures
to
temperatures
up
to
260 °C.
The
adhesive
softens
as
temperature
increases
and
gets
firmer
as
temperature
decreases.
As
the
adhesive
becomes
firmer,
the
bond
strength
generally
increases.
However,
at
very
low
temperatures
(<-40 °C),
the
bond
strength
decreases.
Solvent
resistance:
No
apparent
degradation
when
exposed
to
splash
testing
of
many
common
solvents
and
fluids
including
gasoline,
JP-4
fuel,
mineral
spirits,
motor
oil,
ammonia
cleaner,
acetone
and
methyl
ethyl
ketone.
Three-splash
testing
cycles
were
20
seconds
submersion
and
20
seconds
air
dry.
Storage
and
shelf
life:
Humidity
controlled
storage:
16
to
27 °C
(60
to
80 °F)
and
40
to
60%
relative
humidity.
If
stored
properly,
product
retains
its
performance
and
properties
for
24
months
from
date
of
manufacture.
If
the
products
have
been
exposed
to
severe
weather
conditions,
we
suggest
to
precondition
the
products
at
the
above
storage
conditions
for
at
least
24
hours
before
using
them.
