8、 Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 For definitions of terms used in this practice, refer toTerminologies E631 and C717.4. Summary of Practice4.1 This practice consists of monitoring the dimensionalchange of a sealant for a period of time required to establishdimensional stability.4.2 The motivation f

9、or this practice is to monitor thedimensions of a sealant at any time, but especially after aperiod of extended tension or compression to establish thestable dimensions of that sealant. The latter is used in appli-cation of a standard, such as Test Method C1735, by using theaccurate dimensions deter

10、mined by this practice after dimen-sional stability is attained.4.3 This practice will enable determination of the stabledimensions of a sealant. It will also allow the reporting of thetime scale over which the sealant dimensions are changing.5. Significance and Use5.1 Many sealants have been observ

11、ed to dimensionallychange following a period of compression or tension, such asoccurs during exposure in accordance with Practice C1589.Ithas been shown that for some sealants, increasing exposure toweathering increases the time required for dimensional stabil-ity and decreases the magnitude of dime

12、nsional change.Dimensional stability and knowledge of the stable sealantdimensions are critical to the accurate measurement of thesealants modulus by a test such as Test Method C1735.5.2 This practice will find application in improving theaccuracy of the modulus determined by a standard such as Test

13、Method C1735 by using the accurate dimensions determinedby this practice after stability is attained.6. Apparatus6.1 Dimensional Measuring ToolA micrometer, such asdigital calipers, capable of measuring the dimensions ofaluminum substrate and sealant to an accuracy of at least60.05 mm (60.002 in.),

For example, for a 12.5 mm thicksealant that will experience a 15 % strain when tested inaccordance with Test Method C1735, the total deflection is1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C24 on BuildingSeals and Seal

For measurement accuracy of3%ofthis value,measurement of 60.05 mm is required.NOTE 1The members of C24.20 were able to measure the dimensionsof three different sealants to a precision of 60.05 mm using a digitalmicrometer.7.

The jaws of the geometry measuring tool will beclosed until the jaws make contact with the sealant. At thispoin

20、t, the dimensions indicated by the geometry measuringtool are recorded.7.2.2 For the measurement of the height of the sample, thejaws of the dimensional measuring tool described in 6.1 will bepositioned between the substrates. The jaws of the dimensionalmeasuring tool will be opened until the jaws m

At this point, the dimension indicated by the dimen-sional measuring tool is recorded.7.2.3 This procedure will be repeated at regular intervalsuntil three subseq

22、uent readings are equivalent within 60.1mm. Regular intervals would be determined to document howthe sealant is changing.8.
