Summary of Test Method4.1 Model joints are prepared, the seal is adhered to thesubstrate utilizing an adhesive sealant specified by the manu-facturer, hereinafter referred to as adhesive, then exposed to avariety of conditionin

10、gs such as heat, cold, artificial weatheringor water immersion. A specific set of specimens can go througheach conditioning or separate specimens can be used for eachconditioning. After exposure the test specimens are subjectedto an elongation (strain) and held at this elongation for as longas is de

33、mersionCompletely immerse test speci-mens in distilled or deionized water for 24 h or any multiple of24hat236 2C (73.4 6 3.6F). Remove specimens one at atime.

Because of differences in test condi-tions, test results may differ with the type of device used.Consult Practi

38、ces G 154 and G 155 for differences in thespectral power distributions of the exposure sources andPractice C 1442 for the differences in test parameters in the twotypes of apparatus specified.

Other cycles can beused by mutual agreement of all concerned parties.8.2.5.1 Fluorescent UV/Condensation ApparatusOperatethe device in accordance with the procedure in C 1442, Section7.3.8.2.5.2 Xenon Arc Light ApparatusOperate the device inaccordance with the procedure in C

40、1442, Section 7.2.8.2.5.3 Position the specimens with the sealant facing thelight source at the specified distance from the source. Speci-mens should be confined to an exposure area in which theirradiance is at least 90 % of the irradiance at the center of theexposure area. Unless it is known that i

41、rradiance uniformitymeets this requirement, use one of the procedures described inPractice G 151, Section 5.1.4 to ensure equal radiant exposureon all specimens or compensation for differences within theexposure chamber. If the specimens do not completely fill theracks, fill the empty spaces with bl

42、ank metal panels to maintainthe test conditions within the chamber.NOTE 8Refer to Practice G 151 for full cautionary guidance regardinglaboratory weathering of nonmetallic materials.8.2.5.4 The minimum exposure in the artificial weatheringmachine is 2500 h and additional exposure is in 500 hincremen

43、ts. The exposure duration shall be sufficient to pro-duce a statistically significant change of the property evaluatedin a material known to give poor performance when used in theapplication of interest. After exposure, remove specimens oneat a time and start testing each specimen immediately (withi

44、none hour).NOTE 9Note in test report artificial weathering apparatus used, theirradiance level and actual time (in hours) the specimens were weathered.9. Testing Procedure9.1 For Movement, Cohesion and Adhesion (Bond-LineForce) TestingMeasure and record the actual initial jointopening and length of

45、applied seal prior to loading of testspecimen into equipment. Secure specimen in the grips of thetensile testing machine and extend at a rate of 50 6 5mm(26 0.2 in.)/min to a preset elongation of X %, of the initial jointopening. Where X is 12.5 % or a multiple of 12.5 % and holdfor 1 h and or addit

46、ional 1 h segments. Record the initial tensileload and the tensile load after the holding time at the maximumset elongation. After extension, relax the sample, inspect thetested specimen and measure/record the largest depth of loss ofadhesion or cohesion of adhesive or seal, or both, if eitheroccurs

47、.NOTE 10When inspecting for loss of adhesion or cohesion of adhe-sive or seal, or both, this is most easily done by folding back the testassembly to expose the bond line. Failures should be measured to thenearest half millimeter.9.2 After the inspection of the test specimen secure the sameassembly i

48、n the grips of the tensile testing machine and extendat a rate of 50 6 5mm(26 0.2 in.)/min until the seal breaks(seal ruptures or 100 % cohesive or adhesive failure of adhe-sive). Record elongation and load (at peak load).9.3 Other coincidence points may be recorded as desired.9.4 For Tear Propagati

49、on TestingFollow the same proce-dure as described in 9.1. Before starting test, makea5mmcutin the middle of the seal parallel to the joint wall with a stencilknife or similar instrument (see Fig. 4). Record kind of tear ifany (optional document with camera or a sketch and include inreport): NT: No Tear; PT: Partial Tear (Fig. 5); T: Tear (Fig. 6).9.5 Record any type of failure other than those listed.10.
