6、terms arefound in Terminology C717: cure, elastomeric, joint, sealant,self-leveling sealant.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Sealant is spread on three aluminum panels and the netweight of sealant on each panel is determined. After the threesealant specimens are allowed to cure for 28 days at standardco

7、nditions, two specimens are then heat-aged for 21 days in aforced-draft oven maintained at 706 2C (158 6 3.6F). Thepercentage weight lost during the heat aging period is thendetermined and examination is made for presence of cracks andchalking.5. Significance and Use5.1 Weight loss from a sealant af

8、ter application in a buildingjoint can be detrimental to long term sealant durability. Asealants service life will be shortened if it contains compo-nents, critical to its durability, that are volatilized by highenvironmental temperatures. Also, development of cracks andchalking lessens a sealants s

9、ervice life.5.2 The test described herein measures weight loss, crack-ing, and chalking. The amount of weight lost during the heataging period and any cracking or chalking helps predictpremature sealant failure. However, a sealant developing nocracks or chalking, or low weight loss in this test, doe

Precision and Bias39.1 PrecisionThe precision information given below isbased on an interlaboratory study conducted in 1992 inaccordance with Practice E691, in which four sealants

23、weretested in each of four laboratories, with each laboratoryobtaining two test results on each sealant. Each of the two testresults was obtained on different days and is the average of twotest determinations.9.1.1 Repeatability:9.1.1.1 Weight Loss In future use of this test method, thedifference be

24、tween two test results obtained in the samelaboratory on the same material will be expected to exceed0.658 % only about five percent of the time.9.1.1.2 Cracking or ChalkingNone of the sealants testedshowed any cracking or chalking. Therefore, no repeatabilitywith respect to cracking or chalking has

25、 been established.9.1.2 Reproducibility:9.1.2.1 Weight Loss In the future use of this test method,the difference between two test results obtained in differentlaboratories on the same material will be expected to exceed1.562 % only about five percent of the time.9.1.2.2 Cracking or ChalkingNone of t

26、he sealants testedshowed any cracking or chalking. Therefore, no reproducibilitywith repect to cracking and chalking has been established.9.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference material fordetermining the bias for this test method for the effects of heataging during cure on weight loss, cracki
