1、Designation: C639 01 (Reapproved 2011)C639 15Standard Test Method forRheological (Flow) Properties of Elastomeric Sealants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C639; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, th

2、e 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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method descr

3、ibes a laboratory procedure for the determination of rheological (flow) properties of single- andmulticomponent chemically curing sealants for use in building construction.1.2 Other suitable flow characteristics may be agreed upon between the seller and purchaser or specifier. Special nonsagproperti

4、es and lower flow characteristics may be required for use in sloping joints where absolute leveling is not desired.NOTE 1The sealants are supplied in various rheological properties ranging from pourable fluids to stiff nonsagging pastes. Multicomponent sealantsare supplied as a base component with a

5、n activator or curing agent separately packaged. After mixing the multiple parts, the sealant is ready forapplication. Single-component sealants are supplied ready for use upon opening of the package and usually depend on the external environment for cure.1.3 This test method describes four types of

6、 joint sealants:1.3.1 Type ISingle-component flowable or self-leveling,1.3.2 Type IISingle-component nonsag,1.3.3 Type IIIMulticomponent flowable or self-leveling, and1.3.4 Type IVMulticomponent nonsag.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parenthe

7、ses are for information only.1.5 This standard does not purport to address the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user ofthis standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations priorto use.2. R

Significance and Use5.1 The results obtained from this test method are simply a measure

10、of the degree of horizontal or vertical flow ofsingle-component or multi-component sealants when applied to a set joint configuration at two pre-determined temperatures. Onlysamples conditioned at the same temperature may be directly compared.1 This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Comm

17、.4 6 3.6F) and 50 65 % relative humidity8. Procedures8.1 Test for Type I Sealants:8.1.1 Clean the closed-end channel (Fig. 1a) with methyl ethyl ketone or similar solvent followed by a thorough cleaning witha detergent solution and a final rinse with distilled or deionized water, and then air dry.8.

18、1.2 Before preparing the test assembly, condition at least 100 g of the compound under test in the unopened container for atleast 16 h at standard conditions. Then condition the compound for 16 to 24 h and the channel for 2 h in a refrigerator held at 4.46 2C (40 6 3.6F). At the end of the condition

19、ing periods, pour the compound into the conditioned channel held horizontallyat the latter temperature and maintain the test specimen at this temperature for 4 h.At the end of this period, examine the compoundfor flow properties.8.2 Tests for Type II Sealants:8.2.1 Vertical SlumpBefore preparing the

20、 test assemblies, condition the compound at standard conditions as described in 8.1.2.Expose the two channels with open ends (Fig. 1b), cleaned as indicated in 8.1.1, for 2 h, one at 4.4 6 2C (40 6 3.6F) and theother at 506 2C (122 6 3.6F). At the end of this conditioning period, remove the channels

21、 from the respective chambers andfill them with compound within 10 min.The channels may be filled with the aid of a spatula and shall be trimmed so that the sealantis flush with the face and ends of the channels. Return the filled channels to their respective chambers, placing them in a verticalposi

22、tion, with the 51-mm (2-in.) extension at the bottom for 4 h. At the end of this period remove the channels from the chambersand measure, to the nearest 1.5 mm (116 in.), the distance that the bottom edge of sealant moves downward along the 51-mmextended back surface. This distance is the sag of the

23、 compound.8.2.2 Horizontal SlumpRepeat the procedure described in 8.2.1 with the following change: after filling the channels, returnthem to their respective chambers, placing them in a horizontal position resting on the 13-mm (12-in.) side. At the end of theexposure period, remove the channels from

24、 the chambers and note any change in the configuration of the compound in thechannels.FIG. 1 Channels Used for Determining Rheological Properties; (a) for Self-Leveling or Flow-Type Compound; (b) for Nonsag-Type Com-poundC639 1528.3 Test for Type III SealantsThe test procedure shall be the same as t

25、hat described in 8.1 with the following exception: Afterconditioning the base and curing agent separately for 16 to 24 h and the channel for 2 h in the refrigerator, remove and hand mixthem for at least 5 min. Return the mixed compound to the cold box for an additional 30 min. Then pour the compound

26、 into thehorizontal channel and proceed as described in 8.1.2. Examine the compound for flow properties.8.4 Tests for Type IV Sealants:8.4.1 Vertical SlumpTest as in 8.2.1 with the following exception: Immediately before removing the conditioned channelsfrom the refrigerator and oven, hand mix at le

27、ast 200 g of the base compound and the appropriate amount of curing agent for 5min. Fill the channels within 10 min (or longer if specified by the manufacturer) and proceed as in 8.2. At the end of the test,measure the sag to the nearest 1.5 mm (116 in.).8.4.2 Horizontal SlumpFollow the procedure de

28、scribed in 8.4.1 with the change indicated in 8.2.2.9. Report9.1 Report the following information:9.1.1 Name or other identification of the sealant.9.1.2 Flow Test:9.1.2.1 Whether Type I or III sealant was used,9.1.2.2 Whether the compound self-leveled in channel, and9.1.2.3 Any other surface condit

29、ions such as bubbling.9.1.3 Sag Test:9.1.3.1 Whether Type II or Type IV sealant was used,9.1.3.2 Amount of sag of the compound when placed in the vertical position, to the nearest 1.5 mm (116 in.), and9.1.3.3 Any change in the configuration of the compound when placed in the horizontal position.9.1.

30、4 Variations in Test MethodAny variation from the specified test procedure.NOTE 2Unusual application conditions or use of heat applied sealants may require variation in testing time or temperature. There also may benecessary variations in positioning of channels other than strictly horizontal or ver

31、tical. These may be determined by agreement and reported accordinglyunder 9.1.4.10. Precision and Bias310.1 The statistics for this test method are based on four materials tested once in two laboratories. This does not make rigorousstatistical treatment possible, but approximations can be made. The

32、conclusions is that at 95 % confidence, a variation of no morethan 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) should occur.11.
