1、Designation: C1806 14Standard Test Method forMeasuring the Flow Rate of Aerosol Foam Sealants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1806; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A n

2、umber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method describes a procedure for determiningthe flow rate of aerosol foam sealants.1.2 Flow rate is determined in a controlled

3、 laboratoryenvironment with manual dispensing (Method A) or using aflow rate machine (Method B).1.3 Currently, two foam sealant types are applicable to thistest method, single component and polyurethane and latex.1.4 There are not other known test methods specific formeasuring the flow rate of aeros

Summary of Test Method4.1 Procedure A-Non-mechanical Test Method:4.1.1 The aerosol cans contents are dispensed for a specificamount of time with a consistent amount of hand pressure onthe applicator of the dispensing unit.4.1.2 The flow rate is calculated from the measured

11、 amountof foam dispensed and the net time to dispense the aerosol can.4.2 Procedure B-Mechanical Test Method:4.2.1 The aerosol sealant is dispensed for a specific amountof time with the same amount of pressure with a testingmachine (the aerosol can is in the fully activated position).4.2.2 The flow

12、rate is calculated from the measured amountof foam dispensed and the net time to dispense the aerosol can.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a calculated data point re-garding the amount of foam dispensed at one time from asingle can of foam at standard laboratory conditions or asp
