1、Designation: C1736 11Standard Practice forNon-Destructive Evaluation of Adhesion of InstalledWeatherproofing Sealant Joints Using a Rolling Device1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1736; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in
2、 the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 The non-destructive procedure described in this practiceinduces a depression (strai
3、n) in the sealant, creating an elon-gation of the sealant and a stress on the adhesive bond at thesealant to joint substrate interface. The primary purpose of thepractice is to reveal sealant adhesion anomalies not discernibleby visual examination, at the time of the evaluation, which mayaffect air
4、infiltration resistance, or water infiltration resistance,or both, of the sealed joint.NOTE 1The nondestructive procedure may require immediate repairof the sealant bead, if failure is identified. Appropriate materials andequipment should be available for this purpose.1.2 This practice is useful for
5、 the evaluation of adhesion ofweatherseals in joints that are backed with compressiblematerials such as backer rod. This practice is not as useful injoints with solid backing.1.3 The proper use of this practice requires a workingknowledge of the principles of sealants as applied in movementjoint app
6、lications.1.4 A sealant fails to perform as a weatherseal when itallows air, or water, or both, to infiltrate the joint. This practicedoes not evaluate the performance of an installed sealant as aweatherseal. This practice is intended to only evaluate thecharacteristics of the adhesive bond in a par
7、ticular installation.NOTE 2In addition to identifying adhesion characteristics of thesealant joint, this practice may provide the user with an indication of othercharacteristics and anomalies including, but not limited to, changes insealant depth, insufficiently sized or configured backer rods, cohe
8、sivefailures, entrapped air voids, and solid contaminants. Anomalies of thisnature may be interpreted and addressed by the evaluator.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.6 The committee with jurisdiction for thi
9、s standard is notaware of any comparable standard published by other organi-zations.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and

Testing Equipment5.1 Non-Permanent Marking EquipmentThe followingmay be used to perform location marking for repairs of failedsealant adhesion:5.1.1 Substrate MarkingRemovable non-residue tape,non-permanent self adhesive labels, or other adjacent substratemar
18、king devices that will not permanently stain, permanentlyadhere to, or damage the substrate.5.1.2 Sealant MarkingStaples or push pins to affix surveyribbon, or any other device or method that can be applied to thesealant to re-locate the area that has failed in adhesion forrepair purposes, which wil
19、l not pose a hazard to technicians orpedestrians.5.2 Evaluation DeviceDevice with a rolling componentthat has a non-sharp convex edge profile, and a minimum widthof 1.5 mm. Rolling component width may impact repeatabilityof the evaluation, and should be reported per 8.1.11.6. Summary of Practice6.1
20、This practice induces a depression (strain) in the curedsealant, creating an elongation of the sealant and a stress on theadhesive bond at the sealant to joint substrate interface.Pressure is applied to the surface of the sealant near the centerof the joint by the evaluation device. The sealant is d
21、epressedby the evaluation device, and an elongation of the sealantoccurs; the amount of elongation should be based on jointdesign, or joint width, or both, and should produce theelongation within the limits of the joint design. The evaluationdevice uses a rolling component to continuously press into
22、 thesealant along a length of sealant joint (Fig. 1).7. Procedures7.1 The procedure makes use of rolling devices able toimpart force against the surface of the cured sealant, creating adepression. Sealant should be cured for at least the minimumtime recommended by the manufacturer. The procedures in
23、-clude depression inducement that is manually or guide wheel-maintained, and force control that is automatically maintainedby the device used.7.2 The required force producing a strain in the sealant anda stress on the bond line is determined per procedure below.NOTE 3If an applied force depresses th
24、e sealant more than itsmovement capability, the sealant may be damaged adhesively or cohe-sively. Therefore, care is needed to avoid over-straining the sealant.7.3 Depression Inducement ProcedureThis proceduremakes use of a hand-held device such as a window screenNOTE 1As shown, this practice uses a
25、 device with a rolling component to apply force and induce a depression in the sealant, stressing the adhesionof the sealant on the bond line.FIG. 1 Evaluation Device with Rolling ComponentC1736 112insertion roller, a backer rod insertion device, or any other suchdevice that includes a rolling compo
26、nent with a convex edgeprofile. The rolling component shall have no sharp edges, andbe at least 3 mm narrower than the joint sealant to be evaluated.The rolling device must pass along the approximate centerlineof the sealant, attempting to control the depression by manuallyvarying the force on the r
27、oller. By imposing a consistentdepression in the sealant, adhesion loss as well as othercharacteristics and anomalies described in 1.4 can be identified.7.4 Force Control ProcedureThis procedure makes use ofa hand-held pneumatic device that includes a rolling compo-nent with a convex edge profile. T
28、he rolling component shallhave no sharp edges, and be at least 3 mm narrower than thejoint to be evaluated. The rolling device must pass along theapproximate centerline of the sealant. By imposing a consistentforce to the sealant, adhesion loss as well as other character-istics and anomalies describ
29、ed in 1.4 can be identified.7.4.1 RepeatabilityThe device must be able to provideempirical repeatable data wherein sealant deflections resultingfrom the consistent force delivered by the device to the sealantdoes not deviate outside of a range of 61 mm regardless of thesealant configuration, as meas
30、ured with a dial indicator on theopposite side of the bead.7.4.2 Pressure MaintenanceThe device must be able tomaintain continuous consistent force, returning to equilibriumfrom rapid thrusts of the device in or out of the joint in 0.5 s orless.7.4.3 Force AdjustmentThe force in the device and on th
31、erolling component must be adjustable in order to produce acontrolled strain in the sealant and stress on the bond linesufficient to reveal adhesion anomalies, but less than an amountthat could harm the weatherseal.7.4.3.1 Calibration of ForceThe amount of force appliedto the sealant to create an ef
32、fective bond line stress will vary,depending on a given sealants designed properties in combi-nation with a specific sealant configuration. It is important,when calibrating the device in-laboratory or in-field, to estab-lish a sealant force target(s) for a given evaluation thatproduces an appropriat
33、e bond line stress.7.5 These procedures can be used for continuous evaluationof 100 % of the sealant or for any areas where conditionsinconsistent with the practices of Guide C1193 are suspected.8. Reporting Guide8.1 A comprehensive report will include the followingitems:8.1.1 Physical address and a
34、ge of the building, generaldescription of building, and number of floors in the building.8.1.2 Evaluating agency, name(s) of technicians, specifyingauthority, and relevant observers present during evaluation.8.1.3 General description of the evaluation.8.1.4 Date, time, temperature, and general weath
35、er condi-tions during evaluation. This information should be loggeddaily, and may be keyed to specific grid locations on thebuilding when the information has particular relevance; forexample, when joint size changes are significant due to thermalmovement (see 4.3).8.1.5 Area(s) evaluated according t
36、o grid locations on thebuilding, and total length of sealant evaluated by this practicecompared to total amount of sealant installed (“X” % of totalsealant installation).8.1.6 Target depression used during evaluation when using7.3 (depression inducement), or calibration criteria and forceused during
37、 evaluation when using 7.4 (force control).8.1.7 Details of evaluated area(s): Substrate type(s), type ofsealant, general condition of sealant, age of sealant (dates ofsealant installation) if information is available, width range ofthe sealed joint(s), and movement capability of sealant asdefined b
