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 conditionings such as heat,

10、cold, artificial weatheringor water immersion.Aspecific 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 desired. The elongati

11、on (joint expansion) is performedwith a tensometer to obtain tensile-forces during the pull. Oneaspect of the test has the applied seal cut in the middle of thejoint and then elongated and the degree of tear propagationnoted. After the initial strain the samples can be subjected tocycles of repeated

12、 strain. The samples can also be tested todestruction. The movement test and tear test can be done onseparate sets of test specimens or done sequentially with thesame test specimen.5. Significance and Use5.1 Seals are manufactured in flat extruded shapes and areprimarily used to span joint openings.

13、 The seal is adhered toconstruction substrates utilizing a liquid applied adhesive, toseal building openings such as panel joints, metal flashingjoints or other joints in place of conventional liquid appliedsealants. In actual use, failure of an applied seal in an activejoint is usually manifested b

Because of differences in test condi-tions, test results may differ with the type of device used.Consult Practices G154 a

38、nd G155 for differences in thespectral power distributions of the exposure sources andPractice C1442 for the differences in test parameters in the twotypes of apparatus specified. The test cycles have been used byhistorical convention and may not adequately simulate theeffects of outdoor exposure of

39、 sealants. 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 C1442, Section7.3.8.2.5.2 Xenon Arc Light ApparatusOperate the device inaccordance with the procedure in C1442, Section 7

40、.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 irradiance unifo

41、rmitymeets this requirement, use one of the procedures described inPractice G151, Section 5.1.4 to ensure equal radiant exposureon all specimens or to compensate for differences within theexposure chamber. In devices with rotating specimen racks, fillthe empty spaces with blank metal panels in order

42、 to properlymaintain the test conditions within the exposure chamber.NOTE 8Refer to Practice G151 for full cautionary guidance regardinglaboratory weathering of nonmetallic materials.8.2.5.4 The minimum exposure is 2500 h and additionalexposure is in 500 h increments in the fluorescent UV/condensati

43、on apparatus and in the xenon arc apparatus oper-ated at an irradiance level of 0.51 W/(m2 nm) at 340 nm. Forxenon arc apparatus operated at another irradiance level, seeAnnex A1.2 in C1442 for determination of minimum exposuretime and additional exposure increments to obtain the sameradiant exposur

44、e as at an irradiance of 0.51 W/(m2 nm) at 340nm. The exposure duration shall be sufficient to produce astatistically significant change of the property evaluated in amaterial known to give poor performance when used in theapplication of interest. After exposure, remove specimens oneat a time and st

45、art testing each specimen immediately (withinone 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 th

46、e actual initial jointopening and length of 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 mul

47、tiple of 12.5 % and holdfor 1 h and or additional 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 o

48、f adhesive or seal, or both, if eitheroccurs.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

49、 the test specimen secure the sameassembly in 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 Propagation TestingFollow the same proce-dure as described in 9.1.
