“…Standard Specification for Rubber Seals Used in Concentrating Solar Collectors [79], which was drafted by NBS, is also very similar to the specification for rubber seals used in flat-plate collectors. The only major difference is that use of a maximum service temperature is specified instead of a specific 91 [80] contains general requirements for materials to be used in preformed rubber seals which contact circulating liquid in solar energy systems.…”

Since test methods and standards for active solar heating and cooling systems did not exist in 1976, the Department of Energy sponsored research at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) and other laboratories to aid in the development of research-based standards.This research was intended to facilitate a sound data base for the development of national consensus standards and test methods.In the present report, research by NBS and other laboratories is described for solar domestic hot water systems, solar collectors, thermal storage devices and collector materials.For collectors, the report describes research and test methods for determining the performance of cover plates, absorber materials, collector insulation, gaskets and sealants, rubber hose, containment materials, and heat transfer fluids.
