The operation is based on the sequenclng of three counters -

The temperature counter function is to automatically sequence a
matrix that switches resistance temperature bulbs (T_B's) on
the SAS wing to the inFAt of a digital voltmeter. The power

antisolar side is in the shade when the Skylab is in the SI attitude, but has
r limited exposure to sunlight during two other Skylab attitudes; rendezvous and

surface is not as critical as the antisolar side since the continuous heating on
the "hot ' side results in the outgassing rate decreasing to a value below the
the OWS solar aide at fin plane 1 (-Z axis), and the other SAL is at fin plane
Thermal analyses were made to determine the temperature history of the 0%/8 sur-
faces adjacent to the SALe during boost and in orbit through the first E_EP
vacuum chamber using the analytically defined heating schedules. The predicted
orbital outgassing rate of marking lacquer Is sho_, in Figure 1 for the -Z axis,

Attachment II to:
Table 2.3.5.1-h
This attachment documents Justification for the use of black epoxy (Cat-a-lac)
paint, that has not been heat-aged, on the exterior surfaces of the Orbital
Workshop.
CEI Specification, CP2080JIC, requires that the material weight loss rate of
each outgassing surfs e shall be less than 0 .2%/ _cm2 , or that the distance
from the outgassing surface to the nearest optically Oritical surface shall
The outgassing characteristics of OWS surfaces adjacent to the solar SAL (+Z
axis) and the antisolar SAL (-Z axis) were evaluated because t_ey are close to
conditions for the normal Skylab orbital attitude (solar inertial). All other
: OWS exterior surfaces have temperature histories that lie between these extremes.
: Demonstration that the outgassing of black epoxy, without heat aging, is accept-
able at the extreme conditions also demonstrates acceptability at all other OWS
The +Z ax'is surface is hottest and outgasses at the highest rate initially,
decreasing rapidly as the volatile constituents are driven off. The -Z axis
surface is coldest and outgasses at the lowest rate, retaining volatile con-
t
stituents for the longest time. When the Skylab attitude is changed for
gassing rate.

Tests of black epoxy painted surfaces were conducted to determine thei c out-
simulation test data for the solar SAL and the antisolar SAL are plottted in
Figure 2. For each of these tests, the specimens were maintained at room
temperature during the f_rst hour while the test chamber pressure was reduced
to less than 6 x 10-6 tort (7.99 x 10-4 N/m2) (ramHg). Then, in each test,
the sample temperature was raised rapidly to the maximum test temperature and
Figure 3 shows the maximum vacuum ou_gassing rate of black epoxy (not previously

the peak surface temperature does not exceed 180°F (355.3OK). At any given
