United States16.2 Compression Deflection Properti

16、esThe contact pres-sure expressed in pounds-force per square inch (or pascals)when the seal is compressed to any particular width indicatesthe stress-strain relationship that exists in the seal. Thisrelationship is dependent on both the properties of the elasto-mer and the cross-sectional configurat

17、ion of the seal.Therefore, for a predetermined allowable pressure, a definitiverelationship will exist and the working limits of the seal may bedefined.6.2.1 The working limits (minimum and maximum degreesof compression) of the seal shall be determined on the basis ofthe minimum and maximum limits o

18、f compressibility (LC minand LC max), and the movement range as specified herein. Thepurchaser shall specify the movement range, anticipated maxi-mum joint opening and the target nominal width of seal. Sealswith nominal width differing from that specified areacceptable, providing the compressed widt

19、h at LC max is lessthan the minimum anticipated joint opening, and the movementrange requirement is met.6.2.2 The minimum limit of compressibility (LC min) isdefined as the compressed width (expressed in terms of percentof nominal width) corresponding to a contact pressure of 3 psi(20.68 kPa). The L

20、C min shall be determined in accordancewith 9.3. For the purpose of calculating movement range, avalue at 85 % of nominal width shall be used for LC min whenthe measured value of LC min exceeds 85 %.NOTE 2If the seal generates a pressure of 3 psi at 90 % of nominalwidth, LC min equals 85 %. However,

21、 if the seal generates 3 psi at 70 %of nominal width, the LC min equals 70 %.6.2.3 The maximum limit of compressibility (LC max) isdefined as the compressed width (expressed in terms of percentof nominal width) corresponding to a contact pressure of 35 psi(241.32 kPa). The LC max shall be determined

22、 in accordancewith 9.3. LC max has been designated at 35 psi (241.32 kPa)in order to mitigate the tendencies toward pressure decay of theseal during use. A reading of 35 psi is considered an absolutemaximum pressure which should not be exceeded.6.2.4 The movement range of the seal is defined as then

23、umerical difference between the LC min and the LC maxexpressed in inches (mm). For the purpose of calculating themovement range, a value at 85 % shall be used for LC minwhen the measured value of LC min exceeds 85 %. Forpurposes of acceptance testing, the calculated movement rangeof the seal shall n

24、ot be less than the specified value by morethan 5 %.7. Sampling7.1 A lot shall consist of the quantity for each cross sectionagreed upon between the purchaser and the supplier.7.2 Samples shall be taken at random from each shipment ofmaterial. If the shipment consists of more than one lot, each lots

25、hall be sampled.7.3 The minimum lengths of samples for testing purposesshall be as prescribed by the purchaser or as prescribed in Table2.TABLE 1 Physical Requirements for Preformed Elastomeric Joint SealsRequirements ASTM Test MethodTensile strength, min, psi (MPa) 2000 (13.8) D412Elongation at bre

(13 1.3 mm), min at room temperature of 73 4F (23 2.2C). The sheets of sandpaper are not used.D3542 08 (2013)28. Specimen Preparation8.1 Al

32、l test specimens shall be cut, buffed, or both from thesample of preformed seal. Care should be taken not to overheatthe test specimen during buffing. The cut shall be square towithin 2 and smooth, with no roughness visible to the nakedeye. The use of a tooth blade device or a guillotine-type cutter

33、,or both, is not acceptable. This process will eliminate irregu-larities.8.2 Specimens for determining tensile strength and elonga-tion (Test Method D412) shall be prepared using Die C whenpossible. Die D may be used when the flat sections of a seal aretoo small for Die C. However, the requirement o

34、f Table 1 shallapply regardless of the die used. Buffing should be carefullyperformed and kept to a minimum.8.3 Specimens for low-temperature and high-temperaturerecovery tests and for pressure deflection tests shall consist of6-in. (150-mm) lengths of the preformed seal. Low-temperature recovery an

35、d pressure deflection specimens shallbe lightly dusted with talc on all internal and external surfaces.Specimens for high-temperature recovery shall be lightlydusted with talc on the external surfaces only.9. Test Methods9.1 Compliance with the requirements of Table 1 shall bedetermined by tests con

36、ducted in accordance with the methodsspecified.9.2 Recovery Tests:9.2.1 Determine the low-temperature and high-temperaturerecovery test values using specimens prepared in accordancewith Section 8. Two specimens shall be used for each test.9.2.2 Deflect the specimen between parallel plates to 50 %of

37、the nominal width using the compression set clamp assem-bly described in Method B of Test Method D395. Prior tocompression, place the specimen in a horizontal position, suchthat the plane through both edges of the top surface of the jointseal is perpendicular to the compression plate.As the specimen

38、is being compressed, the top surface of the joint seal shouldfold inward toward the center of the specimen.9.2.3 Place a clamp assembly containing the compressedspecimen in a refrigerated box capable of maintaining atemperature of 14 6 2F (10 6 1.1C) for 72 h. Unclamp theassembly and remove the uppe

39、r compression plate, or carefullyremove the specimen from the assembly and transfer it to awooden surface in the refrigerated box. Allow the specimen torecover for1hat146 2F (10 6 1.1C). Measure therecovered width in the center of the 6-in. (150mm) length atboth the top and bottom longitudinal edges

40、 of the specimen.The recovered width shall be taken as an average of these twomeasurements. Measurements may be made with either a dialcaliper or a platform-mounted dial gauge graduated in thou-sandths of an inch (0.025 mm). The platform-mounted gaugeshall have a14-in. (6mm) diameter pressure foot w

41、ith a forceof 0.18 6 0.02 lbf (0.80 6 0.09 N). Measurements with theplatform-mounted gauge should be taken with the pressure footcentered on the longitudinal edge of the seal. Calculate therecovery as follows:Recovery, % 5 recovered width 3100!/nominal width! (1)Report the least value of recovery to

42、 the nearest 1 %.NOTE 3The use of a desiccant, such as calcium chloride, in therefrigerated box should be used to minimize frosting.The desiccant shouldbe changed or reactivated as frequently as necessary to keep it effective.9.2.4 Place a clamp assembly containing the compressedspecimen in a refrig

43、erated box capable of maintaining atemperature of 20 6 2F (29 6 1.1C) for 22 h. (Note 3).Unclamp the assembly and remove the upper compressionplate, or carefully remove the specimen and transfer it to awooden surface in the refrigerated box. Allow the specimen torecover for1hat206 2F (29 6 1.1C). Me

44、asure therecovered width and calculate the recovery as in 9.2.3.9.2.5 Place a clamp assembly containing the compressedspecimen in an oven conforming to Test Method D573. Thetemperature shall be maintained at 212 6 2F (100 6 1.1C)for 70 h. Do not preheat the clamp assembly. Unclamp theassembly, caref

45、ully remove the specimen, and allow it torecover at 73 6 4F (23 6 2.2C) on a wooden surface for 1h. Measure the recovered width and calculate the recovery as in9.2.3.9.3 Compression-Deflection Tests:9.3.1 Determine compression-deflection values using speci-mens prepared in accordance with Section 8.

46、 Measure thelength of each specimen at the top, center, and bottom using arule graduated in thirty seconds of an inch (or millimetres).Average the three measurements and record as the length of thespecimen to the nearest132 in. (0.8 mm). Measure the height ofthe contact area on both sides and at bot

47、h ends (four measure-ments) with a dial caliper or suitable rule. Average and recordto the nearest132 in. (0.8 mm).9.3.2 Calculate the contact area of the specimen by multi-plying the average length times the average height of thecontact area as determined above.9.3.3 Calculate the forces required t

48、o compress the speci-men to LC min and LC max by multiplying the contact areatimes 3 psi (20.68 kPa) and 35 psi (241.32 kPa), respectively.9.3.4 Place the specimen on its side in such a manner that aplane through both edges of the top surface of the seal shall beperpendicular to the platens. Close t

49、he platens until thedistance between them is slightly larger than the actual widthof the seal. Test in accordance with Method A of Test MethodD575, except that the speed shall be 0.5 6 0.05 in. (13 6 1.3mm)/min, and the sheets of sandpaper are not used.9.3.5 Compress the specimen to LC max by observing theforce calculated in 9.3.3. Immediately reverse at the same rateto the original distance between the platens. Repeat this cycletwo times for a total of three cycles. Record the compressedwidth of the seal obtained at
