See Test Methods E84, E119, and E605,and 1-GP-205M2003.4.4 The test methods described in this practice are designedto (1)

26、 determine the depth of penetration, or lack thereof, of theencapsulant into the matrix of the surfacing material, (2)determine the coverage of the encapsulant on the surfacingmaterial, and (3) to determine the adhesive and cohesiveproperties of the encapsulated surfacing material.4.5 Compliance wit

28、t performance affect these outcomes.5. Qualifications5.1 The test methods in this practice require disturbance ofasbestos-containing materials. Activities that disturb asbestos-containing materials are subject to regulations of the Occupa-tional Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Environ-m

29、ental Protection Agency (EPA) and other jurisdictionsincluding certain state agencies.5.2 The test method described in AnnexA1 to determine theadhesive and cohesive properties of encapsulated surfacingmaterial can result in a release of asbestos-containing debris.Persons conducting this test must ha

30、ve the appropriate creden-tials and training to clean up the debris.5.3 The test method described in Annex A2 to determinedepth of penetration requires taking core samples of theencapsulated surfacing material. This activity requires accredi-tation as an asbestos inspector according to the EPA Model

31、Accreditation Plan.6. Cohesion/Adhesion Tests6.1 Tests On Encapsulated Surfacing Materials:6.1.1 The cohesion/adhesion test shall determine whetherthe encapsulant adversely affects the in situ cohesive andadhesive strength of the friable asbestos-containing surfacingmaterial and shall be in accordan

32、ce with Annex A1.6.1.2 The load required to cause adhesion or cohesionfailure of the encapsulated matrix shall not be less than the loadrequired to cause failure of the unencapsulated matrix. In nocase shall the load-holding capabilities of the unencapsulatedmatrix be less than the load imposed by t

33、he applied encapsu-lation materials.6.1.3 The load required to cause adhesion or cohesionfailure of the encapsulated matrix shall not be less than the loadrequired to cause failure of the unencapsulated matrix, and inno case shall the load be less than 2.4 kPa (50 lbf/ft2).6.1.4 Internal failure of

34、the encapsulated matrix is due tohorizontal delamination within the encapsulated or un-encapsulated material, separation at the interface between theencapsulated and un-encapsulated materials, or separation atthe interface between the un-encapsulated material and thesubstrate. Shear forces across a

35、vertical cylindrical surfaceequal to the diameter of the disc or lid times the thickness ofE1494 122the material from the exposed surface to the plane of delami-nation act to resist failure but are not considered in thecalculation of loads.6.2 Tests On Un-Encapsulated Surfacing Materials:6.2.1 The c

36、ohesion/adhesion test shall determine the in situcohesive and adhesive strength of the friable asbestos-containing surfacing material and shall be in accordance withAnnex A1.6.2.2 The load required to cause adhesion or cohesionfailure of the matrix shall not be less than the manufacturersspecificati

37、on for the surfacing material.6.2.3 Internal failure of the matrix is due to horizontaldelamination within the material or separation at the interfacebetween the material and the substrate. Shear forces across avertical cylindrical surface equal to the diameter of the disc orlid times the thickness

38、of the material from the exposed surfaceto the plane of delamination act to resist failure but are notconsidered in the calculation of loads.7. Coverage and Penetration Tests7.1 Coverage RateThe coverage rate for encapsulantsused on surfacing material shall be at the level required by thematrix syst

39、em field installation, as established by spraying atest area (test patch) using the specified encapsulant.7.1.1 For penetrating encapsulants, the coverage rate toachieve encapsulation is the saturation (maximum) coveragerate for the particular asbestos-containing material. Saturationis achieved when

40、 no further absorption of the encapsulant intothe matrix is observed. Coverage shall be reported as liquidvolume applied per unit area.7.1.2 For bridging encapsulants, the coverage rate toachieve encapsulation occurs when a void-free uniform coatingis formed over the surface of the matrix. Applicati

41、on quantitymust be sufficient to achieve the manufacturers minimumdry-thickness requirements. Coverage shall be reported asliquid volume per unit area.7.2 Penetration Depth:7.2.1 The penetration test values shall determine whether ornot the encapsulant shall be classified as a penetrating encap-sula

42、nt or bridging encapsulant, in accordance with the testmethod in Annex A2. Encapsulation coverage rate used toprepare specimens for testing shall be the saturation (maxi-mum) coverage rate as determined in 7.1.7.2.2 If penetration to a depth of 10 mm (38 in.) of thematrix occurs, the product is clas

43、sified as a penetratingencapsulant. Products having lesser penetrations are classifiedas bridging encapsulants. Differing fibrous matrices as installedin the field may affect the penetration rate.8. Keywords8.1 asbestos; bridging encapsulant; encapsulant; penetratingencapsulantANNEXES(Mandatory Info

This test method is applicable toboth encapsulated and unencapsulated surfacing materials.NOTE A1.1This Annex A1 is based on Test Method E736.A1.2 Summary of Test MethodA1.2.1 The property of cohesive/adhesive strength is deter-mined using a

46、 disc or lid attached to the material with anadhesive. A spring-loaded scale or weights are suspended fromthe disc or lid with a hook to allow manual application ofincreasing force until cohesive/adhesive failure occurs or apredetermined load is reached.NOTE A1.2The lid can be an ordinary jar lid. T
