18、dry mass of ordinary Portland cement complying with BS 12 with1; parts by dry mass of sand complying with BS4550-6 and add water to give a water cement ratio of0.35 to0.40. The grading of the sand shall be such that100% by mass shall pass through a850m sieve complying with BS410 and0% to10% by mass

19、shall pass through a600 m sieve complying with BS410. Ensure that the sand is thoroughly washed and dried before use. 2) Transfer the mortar immediately to rigid plastics moulds in about four layers, each being thoroughly compacted on a suitable vibrating table. 3) Cure the blocks in the moulds for2

20、4h in an atmosphere of not less than90% r.h. 4) Remove blocks from the moulds and cure for a further28 days in water at room temperature, using a volume of water not less than400mL per block. 5) Dry the blocks at a temperature of110 C for at least12h and store in a ventilated oven (see3.1.6) for at

21、least28 days at23 2 C and65 5% r.h. If blocks are not required for immediate use and are subsequently stored under alternative or uncontrolled conditions, store them for at least a further7 days at23 2 C and65 5% r.h. before use. c) Two pieces of clear float glass,125mm 75mm, not less than6mm thick.

22、 d) Two pieces of any other material125mm 75mm and of sufficient thickness to withstand distortion during the test. 3.3 Cleaning of test surfaces Before constructing the test assemblies, clean the test surfaces as follows. a) Clear float glass and aluminium. Remove major contamination by cleaning wi

23、th water, detergent solution or solvents. Clean the surface with butanone (ethyl methyl ketone) or similar solvent. Wash with dilute detergent solution and rinse with distilled or deionized water. Rinse in industrial methylated spirits and air dry.BS3712-4:1991 2 BSI 05-1999 b) Mortar. Remove loose

24、dust by brushing, using a clean stiff bristle brush. If it is found, after the preparation of the block, that the surface has any cavity greater than2mm diameter, reject the block. c) Other material. Proceed as directed by the manufacturer of the material. 3.4 Preparation of test assemblies NOTEThe

25、procedures described in the clause require special expertise. They should, therefore, be carried out in laboratories having considerable experience in this field. 3.4.1 Fresh sealant on specific surface 3.4.1.1 Prepare not less than two test assemblies for each test surface as described in3.4.1.2 to

26、3.4.1.8. 3.4.1.2 Place a strip of25mm paper masking tape(3.1.2) across the width of a clean test surface along and parallel to the lower edge, leaving an area of100mm 75mm exposed (see Figure 1). Where appropriate, prime the surface to which the sealant is intended to adhere. Figure 1 Diagram showin

Then mix appropriate amounts of the conditioned components of multipart

28、sealants, either by hand for10min, using a spatula, or by using a power stirrer(3.1.8) until uniform mixing is achieved, the speed of rotation being such that the minimum amount of air is entrained in the mixed sealant. 3.4.1.4 Spread a portion of the sealant to a minimum thickness of2mm over the wh

29、ole area of the test surface, including the tape (i.e.125mm 75mm). 3.4.1.5 Insert the spacer bars(3.1.3) on the long edge of the test surface (see Figure 1). Then smear the backing material with the mixed sealant at one end over an area of125mm 75mm and force the sealant into the backing material us

30、ing a spatula. Lay the impregnated material over the sealant on the test surface, taking care that the minimum amount of air is entrapped. Roll the backing material with the rod to obtain a thickness of sealant of1.5mm between the backing material and the test surface. 3.4.1.6 Cure the assembly for7

31、n days, where n is a specified whole number, at23 2 C and50 5% r.h. or65 5% r.h. in a ventilated oven, or as required in BS5215 or BS5889. NOTETo aid adhesion of the backing material, the test assembly may be coated with a1mm layer of the same sealant within a period of3 days, thereafter returning t

32、he assembly to the enclosure and resuming the curing cycle. 3.4.1.7 After curing, subject sealant assemblies made from transparent glazing materials to the following procedure. Continuously expose the transparent side of the assemblies to the radiation from a sunlamp(3.1.7) for96h at a distance of30

33、0mm from the surface of the lamp and normal to the axis of the lamp. Before placing the assemblies under the lamp, switch on for15min. Then check the ultraviolet output of the lamp using a meter 1)operating in the range300nm to400nm. The ultraviolet intensity shall be not less than25W/m 2at a distan

34、ce of300mm from the outside of the lamp glass on the centreline of the lamp. Provide ventilation so that the temperature of the glass surface of each assembly does not exceed50C. Do not test more than two assemblies at the same time under one lamp. 3.4.1.8 For all assemblies, cut through the backing

35、 material and sealant to the test surface along its whole length with a sharp knife or razor blade, leaving two strips of sealant and backing material25mm wide separated by a space approximately10mm wide (see Figure 1). Immerse the assembly in distilled or deionized water at23 2 C for7 days. 3.4.2 F

36、resh sealant on matured sealant NOTEThe object of this test is to assess the adhesion between freshly applied sealant and matured sealant. This property is of particular relevance for sealant application started on one day and completed on the next and for multiple application of sealants, especiall

37、y curable sealants. The test may, with caution, be modified to assess the adhesion between two dissimilar materials used in the same joint but attention is drawn to the need to determine the compatibility of the materials. The conditions of exposure may be changed by agreement. 3.4.2.1 Prepare not l

38、ess than two test assemblies for each test surface as described in3.4.2.2 to3.4.2.9. 3.4.2.2 Place a strip of25mm paper masking tape(3.1.2) across the width of a clean test surface along and parallel to the lower edge, leaving an area of100mm 75mm exposed (see Figure 1). Where appropriate, prime the

39、 surface to which the sealant is intended to adhere. 3.4.2.3 Condition an appropriate quantity of the sealant at23 2 C in a closed container or an unopened cartridge for a period of at least16h. Then mix appropriate amounts of the conditioned components of multipart sealants, either by hand for10min

40、, using a spatula, or by using a power stirrer(3.1.8) until uniform mixing is achieved, the speed of rotation being such that the minimum amount of air is entrained in the mixed sealant. 3.4.2.4 Spread a portion of the sealant to a minimum thickness of2mm over the whole area of the test surface incl

41、uding the tape (i.e.125mm 75mm). 3.4.2.5 Expose the sealant on the plate in a ventilated oven(3.1.6) for7 days at23 2 C and80 5% r.h. and for a further7 days at50 1 C and80 5% r.h. 3.4.2.6 Remove the assembly from the oven and allow to cool. Clean the surface of the matured sealant as specified by t

42、he manufacturer. Then cover the matured sealant with fresh sealant prepared as described in3.4.2.3 to give a total sealant thickness of6mm. 1) A U.P.V. J.221 long wave UV meter is known to be suitable.BS3712-4:1991 4 BSI 05-1999 3.4.2.7 Insert the spacer bars(3.1.3) on the long edge of the test surf

43、ace (see Figure 1). Then smear the backing material with the mixed sealant at one end over an area of125mm 75mm and force the sealant into the backing material using a spatula. Lay the impregnated material over the sealant on the test surface, taking care that the minimum amount of air is entrapped.

44、 Roll the backing material with the rod to obtain a thickness of sealant of6mm, using appropriate size spacer bars(3.1.3), between the backing material and the test surface. 3.4.2.8 Cure the assembly for7n days, where n is a specified whole number, at23 2 C and50 5% r.h. or65 6% r.h. in a ventilated

45、 oven, or as required in BS5215 or BS5889. NOTETo aid adhesion of the backing material, the test assembly may be coated with a1mm layer of the same sealant within a period of3 days, thereafter returning the assembly to the enclosure and resuming the curing cycle. 3.4.2.9 Cut through the backing mate

46、rial and sealant to the test surface along its whole length with a sharp knife or razor blade, leaving two strips of sealant and backing material25mm wide separated by a space approximately10mm wide (see Figure 1). Immerse the assembly in distilled or deionized water at23 2 C for7 days. 3.5 Procedur

47、e 3.5.1 Immediately after removing each assembly from the water, wipe it dry and release the portion of the backing material covering the masking tape. Fold back the two strips of backing material at an angle of180 and place the assembly in the testing machine(3.1.1). 3.5.2 Pull one strip of backing

48、 material at a rate of separation of50mm/min for1min. After a reasonably steady value has been obtained on the testing machine, record the peel strength in newtons shown on the dial or recording chart. Measure the area over which the sealant has failed in adhesion to the test surface. For fresh seal

49、ant applied to mature sealant, note where failure occurs. If the backing material peels from the sealant during the test, disregard the result and repeat the test. 3.5.3 Repeat the procedure described in3.5.2 for the other strip of backing material. 3.6 Test report The test report shall contain the following information: a) the number of this British Standard, i.e.BS3712-4; b) the name and type of sealant; c) the batch of sealant from which test samples were taken (if known) and expiry date; d) the
