1、Designation: C 734 06Standard Test Method forLow-Temperature Flexibility of Latex Sealants After ArtificialWeathering1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 734; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the ye

2、ar of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a laboratory procedure for thedetermination of low-temperature flexibility of latex sea

Terminology3.1 DefinitionsRefer to Terminology C 717 for definitionsof the following terms used in this test method: adhesivefailure, latex sealant, sealant, substrate.4. Summary of Test Method4

6、.1 A slab of the sealant is exposed, after drying, for aminimum of 500 h in an artificial weathering unit, after whichit is conditioned and flexed at 17 6 1C (0 6 2F).5. Significance and Use5.1 This test evaluates the flexibility of artificially weath-ered latex sealants in a low-temperature environ

Apparatus6.1 T3 Temper Alclad Aluminum Panels, three, each 76 by153-mm (3 by 6-in.) of 16 to 24 gage (1.29 to 0.511 mm).6.2 Accelerated Weathering DeviceOne of the units asdescribed in Practice C 1442. Because of differences in spectralpower distributions of the exposure sources and exposure

8、parameters used in the different types of devices described inPractice C 1442, test results may differ with the type ofaccelerated weathering device. Choice of type of device shallbe by mutual agreement among the interested parties.6.3 Cold Box or Freezer.6.4 Mandrel, Wood or Metal, 25 mm (1 in.) in

Procedure10.1 Place the conditioned specimens in the artificial weath-ering unit and cycle them for a minimum of 500 h, beginningwith the start of the light cycle. Refer to Practice C 1442 for theartific
