18、 specification: compression set,ultimate elongation, tear strength, tensile strength, and poly-mer.4. Significance and Use4.1 This specification describes types (based on resistanceto tearing and compression set), grades (based on durometerhardness), class (based on flame propagation requirements),a

19、nd surfaces (based on surface characteristics) of products aslisted in Section 5 for various applications. It is essential,therefore, that the applicable type, grade, class, and surface bespecified, as well as other options stated, so that the properproduct is provided for the intended use.5. Classi

20、fication5.1 The products described by this specification are classi-fied by type, hardness, class, and surface.5.2 Type:5.2.1 Type T, Tear ResistantIn general these productshave a higher level of tear resistance. This type is applicablewhere finished products are intended to bridge or to cover aspac

21、e (for example, expansion joint gaskets), or where hightear strength is required due to conditions of exposure or usage.5.2.2 Type C, Compression Set ResistantIn general, theseproducts have a higher level of compression set resistance. Thistype is applicable where finished products are used as com-p

22、ression gaskets, or where low compression set is required dueto conditions of exposure or usage; and as setting blocks,spacers, shims, or other accessories in glazing and sealingsystems.5.3 GradeEach type described in 5.2 is subdivided intovarious hardnesses, based on nominal durometer hardness assh

23、own in Tables 1 and 2. For example, Grade H3 is 30durometer.5.4 Class:5.4.1 Flame propagation characteristics of the finished prod-ucts can be varied depending on the degree of exposure,expected usage, and intended durability desired. Productsdescribed by this specification shall be classified as to

24、 flamepropagation as follows:5.4.1.1 Class FResistance to flame propagation is re-quired (reference Specification C 864, 4.1, Table 1).5.4.1.2 Class designation is not needed when flame propa-gation resistance is not required.5.5 Surface:5.5.1 Consideration of product surface requirements may benece

25、ssary. During the production of these products the use ofvarious lubricants, release agents, dusting agents, and othersolutions may be required. It may be necessary to remove thesematerials from the surfaces of the product because of appear-ance fabrication, or usage requirements. All products do no

26、trequire removal of these materials or removal to the samedegree of cleanliness.5.5.2 Products may also be required to develop adhesion orto not develop adhesion to sealants with which they are incontact.5.5.3 Products described by this specification shall be clas-sified as to surface condition as f

27、ollows:5.5.3.1 Surface S1The surface of the product shall besmooth, clean, free from any foreign matter, and shall not allowadhesion of sealants (see Note 1).5.5.3.2 Surface S2The surface of the product shall besmooth, clean, free from any foreign matter, and shall allowadhesion of sealants (see Not

28、e 1).NOTE 1Applied treatments, such as dusting or coating to the adhesionsurface may be necessary to meet this requirement.5.5.3.3 Surface S3The product shall have a surface that issmooth, clean, and free from any foreign matter.5.5.4 Surface designation code is not needed for productsnot requiring

29、special cleaning for removal of processing agentsand materials.5.6 The following is an illustration of the use of theclassification system for a line call-out. Expansion gasketsshall be ASTM C 115, TH5FS3.5.6.1 Other examples of line call-outs would be: edgespacers for structural thermoplastic glazi

The closer tolerances demanded,

45、 the tighter the control which must be exercised during manufacture and hence higher costs.NOTE 2When particular physical properties are required in the product, it is not always possible to provide them in a combination which is capableof fabrication to close tolerances. It is necessary, in these c

46、ircumstances, that consultation take place between the customer and supplier. In general, softermaterials need greater tolerances than harder ones. Where close tolerances are required, a specific technique of measurement should be agreed uponbetween purchaser and manufacturer.NOTE 3Tolerances on dim

47、ensions above 100 mm (3.94 in.) should be agreed on by supplier and user. General cross sectional dimensions below 1mm (0.04 in.) are impractical.NOTE 4In general, softer materials and those requiring a post cure need greater tolerances.RMA Class1High Precision2Precision3CommercialDrawing Designatio
