Terminology3.1 DefinitionsGeneral terms in this test method aredefined in Terminology D 996.4. Summary

7、 of Test Method4.1 The pressure-sensitive tape is secured by its adhesive toa test cup containing a desiccant. The assembly is exposed toa controlled atmosphere and weighed after two intervals of thatexposure. The gain in weight is used to calculate the watervapor transmission rate (WVTR).5. Signifi

8、cance and Use5.1 The results of this test method will indicate the relativepermeability by water vapor of the tape through its smallestdimension (generally normal to the tapes backing).5.1.1 The pathway for the water vapor parallel to theadhesive-cup interface is great compared to the tapes thick-ne

9、ss and the latter is usually the nearly exclusive source oftransmitted vapor.5.1.2 Some tape types allow a relatively free path in adirection normal to the backing or along backing pathwaysparallel to the adhesive-cup interface allowing the adhesive tobecome the principal barrier.5.2 If the adhesive

10、 does not continue to adhere to the cupflange during the exposure periods allowing unintended path-ways for water vapor to occur, the measurement should beconsidered as not having been made. Consequently, the tapemight be considered as being inappropriate for use on surfaceslike the cup flange under

11、 moisture conditions approximatingthose of the test.NOTE 1It may be that the interest is simply in the tape material as awater vapor barrier. In this case, how well the tape adheres to the cupflange may be of little consequence, and steps to prevent any edge effectsare in order. These are referred t

18、ewith Practice D 3715/D 3715M.7.2 Sampling for Other PurposesThe sampling and thenumber of test specimens depends on the purpose of thetesting. Practice E 122 is recommended. It is common to test atleast five specimens of a particular tape. Test specimens shouldbe taken from several rolls of tape an

19、d wherever possible,among several production runs of a tape. Strong conclusionsabout a specific property of a tape cannot be based on testresults of a single unit (roll) of a product.8. Test Specimens8.1 Prepare three specimens for each sample or sample roll.8.2 Specimens shall be 50 minus 2.5 mm 2.

20、0 minus 0.1 in.wide and 155 minus 2.5 mm 6.0 minus 0.2 in. long from thesample material.8.3 When the sample material is pressure-sensitive tapewound in roll form, unwind and discard at least three, but nomore than six, outer wraps of tape from the sample roll beforetaking specimens for testing.8.4 R

21、emove specimens from a freely rotating roll at the rateof 500 to 750 mm 20 to 30 in./s. Where width or other factorscausing high adherence to backing make it impossible toremove the specimens at the prescribed rate, remove it at a rateas close to 20 in. 500 mm/s as possible.9. Conditioning9.1 Weigh

When the sample material is larger than the specimendimension trim it to the edges of the flange.10.3.1 When the adhesive is lacking or has insufficient

Use this as W2for theequation in Section 11.10.5.2 For materials with an expected WVTR greater than40 g/m22.5 g/100 in.2 in 24 h, return the assemblies to thetest chamber for 48 h.

28、s of unknown WVTR, return the assemblies to thetest chamber for 48 h following the initial weighing. Remove, cool, andweigh as in 10.5.1 to obtain W2. Again, return the assemblies to the testchamber for another 48 h. Remove, cool, and weigh them as in 10.5.1 toobtain a second W2. Use the previously

29、obtained W2as W1in the equationin Section 11. Continue these 48-h exposure periods and reweighings untila steady-state WVTR is determined.11.
