The mix ratio of sealant base compound and the curing agent of two-part sealant shall be maintained as specified by the manufacturer

26、. NOTE: In order to achieve the expected cured sealant properties both curing agent and base compound must be mixed thoroughly to complete uniformity with no visible streaks or swirls of unmixed material. Both curing agent and base compound must be moved physically by the stirring instrument and the

27、 container walls. If mixed by hand the mixing blade shall be scraped frequently to ensure a complete blend. To minimize introduction of air into the sealant mixture (see AIR4069), no swirling motion should be used when stirring. To avoid risk of overheating the mixture and compromising application p

28、roperties the sealant mixture should not be over-mixed or mixed too fast. 4.1 Qualification Testing Manufacturers instructions for mixer operation and mixing must be followed. Plastic disposable cartridges, as shown in Figure 1 may be used, or a suitable manufacturers recommended alternative to hold

29、 the mixed sealant, from which it can later be extruded from the cartridges for sealing application and specimen fabrication. If specified in the applicable material specification, sealing compound may be provided in cartridges for multiple component sealants as shown in Figure 2 for Type I and Type

30、 II kits, and shall be mixed according to sealant manufacturers instructions. 4.2 Acceptance Testing Sealing compound supplied in multi-component (e.g., barrier or injection) kits for acceptance testing may be machine or hand-PLHGIROORZLQJWKHPDQXIDFWXUHUVUHFRPPHQGHGLQVWUXFWLRQVXVLQJWKHDSSURSUL DWHUD

APPLICATION PROPERTIES TEST METHODS 5.1 Nonvolatile Content Three samples of the sealing compound shall be tested. Weigh a cup to the nea

33、rest 0.001 g (W1). Transfer 11 to 12 g of mixed sealing compound to the cup as rapidly as possible within 5 minutes of the completion of mixing, and weigh immediately to the nearest 0.001 g (W2). Place the sealing compound and uncovered cup in an air circulating or friction oven that has been prehea

34、ted to 158 F (70 C). After heating for seven days or as specified in the applicable material specification, place the sealing compound and cup in a desiccator and cool to room temperature. Weigh to the nearest 0.001 g (W3). Determine (W2 - W1) and (W3 - W1). Calculate the percent nonvolatile content

35、 as shown in Equation 1: 100WWWWenonvolatilPercent1213 u (Eq. 1) The measured value shall be checked for conformance to the applicable material specification.

The averaged value shall be checked for conformance to the applicable material specification for the sealing compound under t

43、est. 6.2 14-Day Hardness The instantaneous Type A Durometer hardness shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D2240 after the sealing compound has been cured for 14 days at standard conditions in accordance with AS5127 (4). The reading shall be taken using two 0.125 inch (3.18 mm) thick specimens

44、, stacked back to back to make a total thickness of 0.25 inch (6.4 mm). The measured hardness shall be checked for conformance to the applicable material specification. For quality acceptance testing only, the above hardness can be measured prior to 14 days duration at standard conditions in accorda

45、nce with AS5127 (4). If the recorded hardness exceeds the minimum requirements of the applicable material specification, then the result is acceptable. 6.3 Radiographic Density NOTE: The AMS Committee G-9 is removing this requirement from the AMS sealing compound specifications based on its value in
