16、 19428-2959. United States1elongation (joint expansion) is performed with a tensometer to obtain tensile-forces during the pull. One aspect of the test has theapplied seal cut in the middle of the joint and then elongated and the degree of tear propagation noted. After the initial strain thesamples

17、can be subjected to cycles of repeated strain. The samples can also be tested to destruction. The movement test and teartest can be done on separate sets of test specimens or done sequentially with the same test specimen.5. Significance and Use5.1 Seals are manufactured in flat extruded shapes and a

18、re primarily used to span joint openings. The seal is adhered toconstruction substrates utilizing a liquid applied adhesive, to seal building openings such as panel joints, metal flashing joints orother joints in place of conventional liquid applied sealants. In actual use, failure of an applied sea

19、l in an active joint is usuallymanifested by cohesive failure of the seal; adhesive failure between the adhesive and the substrate; adhesive failure between theadhesive and the seal; cohesive failure of the substrate or tear propagation parallel to the joint length.5.2 This test method can be used f

Specimensshould be confined to an exposure area in which the irradiance is at least 90 % of the irradiance at the center of the exposure

44、area.Unless it is known that irradiance uniformity meets this requirement, use one of the procedures described in Practice G151, Section5.1.4 to ensure equal radiant exposure on all specimens or to compensate for differences within the exposure chamber. In deviceswith rotating specimen racks, fill t

47、sure increments to obtain the same radiant exposure as at an irradiance of 0.51 W/(m2 nm) at 340 nm. The exposure durationshall be sufficient to produce a statistically significant change of the property evaluated in a material known to give poorperformance when used in the application of interest.

48、After exposure, remove specimens one at a time and start testing eachspecimen immediately (within one hour).NOTE 9Note in test report artificial weathering apparatus used, the irradiance level and actual time (in hours) the specimens were weathered.9. Testing Procedure9.1 For Movement, Cohesion and
