1、Designation: C782 13 (Reapproved 2018)Standard Test Method forSoftness of Preformed Tape Sealants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C782; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.

2、A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method describes a laboratory procedure fordetermining the softness of preformed tape sealants.NOTE 1Cone penetration metho

3、ds applicable to greases and topetrolatum are described in Test Methods D217 and D937. Test MethodD2451 also uses a penetration technique for determining the degree of setin sash glazing compounds.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. Temperature values are also provided (

4、in parenthe-ses) in degrees Fahrenheit.1.3 The subcommittee with jurisdiction is not aware of anysimilar ISO standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

Summary of Test Method4.1 The preformed tape sealant specimen is allowed toequilibrate at standard conditions. A standa

9、rd needle under adefined load is placed on the specimen for 5 s. The penetrationof the needle into the preformed tape sealant is measured.Multiple readings are recorded and averaged.5. Significance and Use5.1 Preformed tape sealants are tacky, deformable solidsthat are used under compression between

10、 two substrates in avariety of sealing applications. This procedure measures thesoftness of a preformed tape sealant and gives an indication ofthe preformed tape sealants ease of compression duringinstallation. The resistance to penetration may also give anindication of the toughness of the preforme

17、tee.17. Sampling7.1 Samples to be tested shall be taken from a fresh roll ofpreformed tape sealant, after first removing and discardingapproximately the first 600 mm of the roll.7.2 Remove release paper as required in order to fashion asuitable test specimen.8. Test Specimen8.1 Prepare a test specim

18、en by cutting short lengths ofpreformed tape sealant and plying them together to form a solidblock no smaller than 13 mm wide by 13 mm by 25 mm long.9. Conditioning9.1 Condition the test specimen and the penetrometer,including the needle, for at least2hat236 2C (73 6 3.6F).NOTE 3Other test temperatu

19、res may be used, provided that thespecimen and the penetrometer, including the needle, are conditioned forat least2hatsuch temperature and maintained at that temperature duringthe test. For low temperature testing, for example, both conditioning andtesting must be done in a cold box.10. Procedure10.

20、1 Place the penetrometer in a level position with the shaftset up so that there is a total moving load of 100 g. This loadis comprised of the 2.5-g needle, the 47.5-g shaft, and an extraweight of 50 g placed atop the shaft.10.2 Raise the penetrometer shaft until the pointer on thedial reads exactly

21、zero. Lightly tap the indicator dial controllever to ensure that this reading is maintained.10.3 Position the test specimen on the penetrometer so thatit is approximately centered under the needle. Then lower thatpart of the apparatus consisting of the dial gage and shaft withthe needle point until

22、the needle point just makes contact withthe top surface of the specimen.NOTE 4If the specimen is made from preformed tape sealant less than13 mm wide, care should be taken to see that the needle is not placed inthe joint between two abutting strips of preformed tape sealant.10.4 Quickly release the

23、needle for 5 s.10.5 Adjust the apparatus to measure the distance throughwhich the needle penetrated the specimen. Record the amountof penetration to the nearest 0.1 mm.10.6 Wipe the penetrometer needle clean. Following thesame procedure, take at least two additional penetration read-ings for the sam

24、e preformed tape sealant specimen. If readingsare taken on the same specimen surface, the penetration shouldbe made at points at least 7 mm from other readings. Theamount of penetration for each reading should be recordedseparately and the needle should be wiped clean after eachreading.NOTE 5Unusual

25、ly low readings, caused by the needle striking anembedded core or other hard material, and unusually high readings causedby penetrating a void or air pocket shall be considered invalid anddisregarded.11. Report11.1 Report the following information:11.1.1 Identification of the preformed tape sealant,

26、 that is,the name, lot number, and any other identifying characteristics.11.1.2 Actual temperature of the test specimen and appara-tus at the time of the test.11.1.3 At least three valid penetration readings and theiraverage.12. Precision and Bias12.1 Interlaboratory round-robin testing of the prefo

27、rmedtape sealant softness has determined the 2 or 95 % confidencelevel of precision for the needle penetrometer test of preformedtape sealant softness at 23 6 0.5C (73 6 1F).12.2 The single-operator-penetrometer-day precision is 0.3mm.12.3 The interlaboratory or multioperator precision is 1.0mm.NOTE

28、 6The single-operator and interlaboratory precision statementsfor needle penetrometer testing of preformed tape sealant softness at 23C(73F) have been found to hold for tests run at lower tape temperatures,for example, 17.8C (0F). At elevated test temperatures, for example,70C (158F) penetrometer re
