The depth and density (use Test MethodC 1536 for aerosol foam sealant) of the applied material shallbe reported in all cases.4.2 This practice references the following material types:4.2.1 Type I Material (Aerosol Foam Sealants)A) PolyurethaneB) Latex4.2.2 Type II Material

17、(Preformed dry material)A) Closed cell foamB) Bi-cellular foam4.2.3 Type III Material (Batt-Insulation)A) FacedB) Un-Faced5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice is intended to measure air flow throughmaterials used to fill joints found in building construction.5.2 This practice does not purport to

18、 establish all requiredcriteria for the selection of an air barrier assembly. Therefore,the results should be used only for comparison purposes andshould not be seen as the equivalent to field installed buildingsystems.6. Sampling6.1 One test jig shall be required for each material type.7. Test Appa

19、ratus7.1 The jig required for testing is shown in Fig. 1.NOTE 1See Annex A1 for the detailed construction and assemblydetails of the test apparatus.8. Sample Preparation8.1 General DescriptionThe test sample is a jig contain-ing five cavities each having the following dimensions: 9.525mm (0.375 in.)

20、 wide by 863.6 mm (34 in.) long by 101.6 mm(4 in.) deep. The extrusions are enclosed by a wooden buckframe comprised of 50.8 by 152.4 mm (2 in. by 6 in.) lumber(See Annex A1 drawings).8.2 The buck shall be sealed at all extraneous points withsilicon and butyl tape or other appropriate material. This

21、 sealshall extend across the termination joint between aluminumtube and the wood buck surround and 184.15 mm (7.25 in.)toward the center of the specimen completely covering theexposed aluminum shims.8.3 Applying the Test Material in the Jig:8.3.1 Foam Sealant ApplicaionThe foam may be appliedin mult

22、i passes as desired.Approximately one half of the cavitydepth should be filled on the first pass and allowed to cure untilthe surface is tack free (see Specification C 1620 for defini-tion). A sharp knife should be used to trim the foam. Do notattempt to trim the foam until it has cured for 24 h. It

23、 is notnecessary to trim the cured foam on the exterior side of thejoint, however the inside face should be trimmed flush with thealuminum if the foam expands beyond the surface.NOTE 2Only one pass or more than two passes is required to fully fillthe cavities, enter this information as a note in the

24、 test report. UseStandard Laboratory Conditions for sample preparation and cure of thefoam sealant.8.3.2 Pre-formed Foam ApplicationCut a continuouslength of Type II material measuring 12.7 mm (12 in.) longerthan the channel length. Align the cut length with the channelgap to be filled. Carefully us

25、e a blunt or round device to pushthe aligned material into the total length of the 9.525 mm(0.375 in.) gap. If material is punctured, cut, or otherwisedamaged during insertion, it shall be removed, discarded, andreplaced with a new length of material. Since by design, the cutFIG. 1 An Assembled Test

26、 Jig Apparatus Ready for Joint Fillingwith a Perimeter Seal Applied in the Wood Test BuckC1642072material length is slightly longer, the ends should be com-pressed on both ends to provide a tight fit against the shims andchannels. The inserted material (1) shall be between thechannel with no visible

27、 material protruding to either theinterior or the exterior sides, (2) shall provide a continuouscontact surface between the channels and shims, and (3) shallbe positioned at the same depth in the channel with a varianceof 66.35 mm (0.25 in.). This procedure applies for eachadditional continuous leng

28、th that is positioned in the channel.Reported information shall include the depth of the materialinto the joint, material cross-sectional dimensions prior toinsertion, number of pieces if more than one length of foam isused, length of each piece, and type and class of material,(Type shall be bi-cell

29、ular or closed cell per Terminology C 717.Class would be C, closed cell or B, bi-cellular per SpecificationC 1330 or other).8.3.3 Batt material installation: Cut a continuous length ofType III material measuring 88.9 mm (3.5 in.) by 19.05 mm(0.75 in.) by 1177.73 mm (45.38 in.). Note: The length is 2

30、5.4mm (1.0 in.) longer than the aluminum channel. Align the cutlength with the channel gap to be filled. Carefully use a bluntor round device to push the aligned material into the totallength of the 9.525 mm (0.375 in.) gap. Ensure specimencompletely fills the cavity with no visible material protrud
