Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification describes products composed of densethermoplastic elastom

3、ers that are fabricated into gaskets andaccessories (such as compression seals, setting blocks, spacers,and shims) for use in sealing and glazing applications inbuilding construction. These products are used to seal or serveas components of compression sealing systems between me-chanically restraine

4、d surfaces in building construction.1.2 The values stated in metric (SI) units are to be regardedas the standard. The inch-pound values given in parentheses areprovided for information purposes only.1.3 Test Method C1166, as referenced in this specification,should be used to measure and describe the

5、 properties ofmaterials, products, or assemblies in response to heat and flameunder controlled laboratory conditions and should not be usedto describe or appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of materials,products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions. However,results of this test may be used

6、as elements of a fire riskassessment that takes into account all of the factors which arepertinent to an assessment of the fire hazard of a particular enduse.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user

Terminology3.1 Refer to Terminology C717 for definitions of the fol-lowing terms used in this specification: compound, compres-sion gasket, e

17、dge spacer, elastomer, elastomeric, expansiongasket, gasket, hardness, seal, setting block, shim spacer,standard conditions, and spacer.3.2 Refer to Terminology D1566 for definitions of thefollowing terms used in this specification: compression set,ultimate elongation, tear strength, tensile strengt

18、h, 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),and surfaces (based on surface characteristics) of products aslisted in Section 5 fo

19、r 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. Classification5.1 The products described by this specification are classi-fied by type, h

20、ardness, class, and surface.5.2 Type:5.2.1 Type T, Tear ResistantIn general these products havea higher level of tear resistance. This type is applicable wherefinished products are intended to bridge or to cover a space (forexample, expansion joint gaskets), or where high tear strengthis required du

21、e 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-pression gaskets, or where low compression set is required dueto conditions of expos

22、ure 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 asshown in Tables 1 and 2. For example, Grade H3 is 30durometer.5.4 Class:5.4.1 Flame p

23、ropagation 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 flamepropagation as follows:5.4.1.1 Class FResistance to flame propagation is re-q

24、uired (reference Specification C864, 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 benecessary. During the production of these products the use ofvarious lubricants, release

25、 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 notrequire removal of these materials or removal to the samedegree of cleanliness.5.5.

26、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 follows:5.5.3.1 Surface S1The surface of the product shall besmooth, clean, free from

27、 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 Note 1).NOTE 1Applied treatments, such as dusting or coating to the adhesionsurface may

28、 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 special cleaning for removal of processing agentsand materials.5.6 The following is
