1、Designation: C 1247 98 (Reapproved 2004)Standard Test Method forDurability of Sealants Exposed to Continuous Immersion inLiquids1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 1247; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revi

2、sion, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a laboratory procedure thatassists in determining the durability of a seala

3、nt and itsadhesion to a substrate while continuously immersed in aliquid. This test method tests the influence of a liquid on thesealant and its adhesion to a substrate. It does not test the addedinfluence of constant stress from hydrostatic pressure that isoften present with sealants used in submer

4、ged and below-gradeapplications, nor does it test the added influence of stress fromjoint movement while immersed. This test method also doesnot (in its standard form) test the added influence of acids orcaustics or other materials that may be in the liquid, in manyapplications.1.2 The values stated

5、 in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The inch-pound given in parentheses are provided forinformation only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priat

6、e safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

9、 and substrate.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Specimens are prepared and the sealant is cured. Thespecimens are immersed in a hot liquid at 50 6 2C (122 63.6F) for six weeks. At the end of the six weeks, thespecimens are placed into a compression/extension machine, asdescribed in Test Method C 719, an

10、d cycled through themovement range appropriate to the test sealant or its applica-tion, or both.4.2 If after three movement cycles at 3.2 mm/h (18 in./h)adhesive or cohesive failure is not noted, the specimens areagain placed in the hot liquid for an additional four weeks andthen retested.4.3 This t

11、est method consists of six weeks of immersionfollowed by three extension and compression cycles. This canbe followed by four weeks of further immersion and a repeat ofthe three extension and compression cycles. The four weeks ofimmersion and subsequent extension and compression testingcan be repeate

12、d as many times as required for the application.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method uses elevated temperature to acceleratethe degradation of a sealant and its adhesion to a substrate. Thistest method is an accelerated method and will only be apredictor of long-term durability if the actual

13、service tempera-ture is significantly lower than the elevated test temperature.5.2 This test method can be used as an indicator of longevitybut direct correlation to actual use will be difficult for manyapplications.5.3 The correlation of data from this test method to appli-cations where the sealant

17、ds is regained during dryperiods.5.4 This test method is performed in a hot liquid and may beconsidered an acceleration of deterioration of the sealant or thesealants adhesion to a substrate. Compared to how the sealantwill be used in some applications, in some cases, this test maybe less severe tha

The benefit from theuse of this test method will depend on the comparison of theconditions of this test to the actual conditions of use (tempera-ture, duration, nature of substrate, composition of the liquid).5.5 To determine the ability of a sealant to perform in agiven ap
