(2)
The water is contained in a cylindrical borosilicate
glass vessel having a maximum material thickness of
1/8” (3 mm) and an outside diameter of
approximately 7.6” (190mm).
(3) The oven and the empty vessel are at ambient
temperature prior to the start of the test.
(4) The initial temperature (T1) of the water is (10±2)°C
(50°F) It is measured immediately before the water is
added to the vessel. After addition of the water to the
vessel, the load is immediately placed on the center
of the turntable which is in the lowest position and the
microwave power switched on.
(5)
The time T for the temperature of the water to rise by
a value ∆T of (10±2)°K is measured, where T is the
time in seconds and ∆T is the temperature rise. The
initial and final water temperatures are selected so
that the maximum difference between the final water
temperature and the ambient temperature is 5°K.
(6)
The microwave power output P in watts is
calculated from the following formula :
4187 x (∆T)
T
is measured while the microwave generator is
operating at full power. Magnetron filament heat-up
time is not included. (about 3 sec)
(7) The water is stirred to equalize temperature
throughout the vessel, prior to measuring the final
water temperature.
