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 This guide covers the general effects of temperature during the use temperatures fo

4、variety of end use applications primarily intended to reduce air movement in buildingenclosures.1.4 Currently two main foam sealant types are applicable to this standard, single component polyurethane and latex types.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of
5、 measurement are included in this standard.1.6 There are no other known test methods specific for measuring the product temperature range for aerosol foam sealant.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the

15、ed aerosol containers are dispensed at specified size and as bead segments.4.1.2 Product temperature is maintained at selected “product temperature” prior to testing at the selected “cure temperature”(which may be the same or different than the product temperature).4.1.3 Foam products are evaluated
16、for flow rate, tack free time, friability, and skin and cell appearance as described herein.5. Significance and Use5.1 This guide is not intended to measure the precise temperature range for dispensing and curing product under all the possiblesubstrate and environmental factors but to provide a basi
17、s for benchmarking a foam sealant product under specific laboratoryconditions.5.2 The product user is encouraged to evaluate each application and determine suitability for actual use.6. Apparatus6.1 Two test chambers, capable of controlling temperature from 15 to 45C within 62C.6.2 Smooth brown wrap
18、ping paper, without coatings (7.5 by 25 cm).7. Test Specimens and Substrates7.1 Condition and prepare all test products at selected product conditions.7.2 Condition and prepare all test substrates at selected curing conditions.7.3 For each product tested it is essential to follow the manufacturers l
19、abel directions and to use the dispenser supplied withthe product. One full aerosol can of product is needed for this test.8. Conditioning8.1 Condition filled aerosol cans of foam sealant and substrates under standard laboratory conditions of 23 6 2C and 50 65 % relative humidity conditions prior to
20、 the selected test chamber conditioning (see 9.1 and 9.2).9. Procedure9.1 Condition substrates at the selected “cure temperature” for 24 h.9.2 Condition aerosol foam cans at the selected “product temperature” for 24 h.9.3 Shake the can vigorously for 30 s or as recommended in the products instructio
21、ns.9.4 Weigh the full can of foam sealant without the cap but with the dispensing mechanism attached and record the startingweight.9.5 After 24 h, remove the foam aerosol product container from the product conditioning chamber and immediately dispensea 1-cm diameter by 8-cm long foam sealant bead (o
22、r any desired test specimen size) onto the Kraft Paper while the paper is stillin the curing test chamber. Close the door within 5 s of opening the curing chamber.9.6 Note the approximate flow rate time and quality of foam sealant flow relative to dispensing at 23C with 1 (lowest flow)and 5 (highest
23、 flow), for example, (1 = no flow; 2 = very slow; 3 = normal (flow rate at 23C); 4 = fast; 5 = very fast) in data sheet.9.7 After 2 h, open the curing chamber and check foam for friability and tack free by pressing into the foam with a nitrile orlatex type surgical gloved finger. Close the door with
