Significance and Use5.1 This test method is intended to differentiate between theexterior durability of two or more adhesives. At present, this isdone by comparing the adhesives as desc

A modifi-cation could be made, that is, shorten the number of cyclesused so the test method would be suitable for quality control inproduction mills. The results obtained for a particular adhesivecan be used to sh

18、ow how many cycles are required for a millquality control test of that adhesive.5.3 The test method assumes that boil/dry cycling is anadequate and useful accelerated aging technique. Evaluation oflong-term durability of adhesives in wood joints under severeservice conditions, including extended ext

19、erior exposure, is acomplex field, and no entirely reliable short-term test is knownto ensure that a new type of adhesive system will satisfactorilyresist all of the chemical, moisture, microorganism, and solventeffects that such severe service may involve. Except for effectsof microorganisms and ot

20、her similar biological influences, thistest method has proven very useful for comparison purposes todistinguish between adhesive systems of different degree ofdurability to the usual temperature, moisture, and cyclicmoisture conditions. It has proven very useful to distinguishbetween bondlines, made

21、 with adhesives of proven chemicaland biological durability, that were properly used in productionto resist the mechanical and moisture effects that such jointsmust withstand in severe service over extended periods ofexposure. It does not, in itself, assure that new types ofadhesives will always wit

Test Specimens7.1 Wood Substrate:7.1.1 For Lumber Laminating AdhesivesCondition thewood at 23 6 2C (73.4 6 3.6F) and a relative humidity of 50to 70 % (preferably 65 %) until a moisture con

Since adhesives join materialsby surface attachment, care must be taken to ensure a uniformreproducible surface representative of ac

25、tual construction.Typical surfaces include sawed, planed, sanded, and skived.Detailed surface preparation procedures used must be includedin the report (see 10.1).7.1.1.1 Specimen moisture content (MC) conditions calledfor in this test method should be checked in accordance withTest Methods D4422.7.

27、e or its components at themanufacturers recommended conditions.7.3 Bonding Procedure:7.3.1 It has been found convenient to fabricate large two-and three-ply blocks, which are subsequently cut into a numberof test specimens. A140 by 140-mm (512 by 512-in) block willyield four specimens and one 140 by

28、 200-mm (512 by 8-in)block will yield eight specimens.FIG. 1 Automatic Boil MachineD3434 00 (2018)27.3.2 Mix and apply the adhesive(s) to the surface(s) to bebonded in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Ifthe processes are being evaluated, prepare specimens reflectingthe limits of the t

29、ypical process conditions.7.3.3 Age the large blocks for at least 1 week at 23 6 2C(73.4 6 3.6F) and a relative humidity of 50 to 70 %(preferably 65 %) before cutting into the smaller test specimen.7.4 Test Specimen Fabrication:7.4.1 Fig. 3 shows the preferred test specimens and dimen-sions for lumb

30、er laminating adhesives. The same specimenscan be used with veneer when evaluating plywood adhesives.The two-ply specimen will be satisfactory when bondlineperformance parallel to the grain is to be evaluated; thethree-ply specimen when cross-grain bondline performance isto be evaluated.7.4.2 Cut la

31、rge blocks into test specimens as shown in Fig.3. Exercise care in grooving the specimens to ensure that thecut extends to, but not beyond, the bondline as shown in Fig.3.7.4.3 Fig. 4 shows a suitable test specimen for evaluatingfinger joints.7.4.4 Different specimen dimensions may be used for spe-c

32、ial applications but the boil/dry cycling time periods may haveto be modified to allow for complete wetting and drying.7.5 Number of Test Specimens:7.5.1 Ninety specimens are required for each adhesive,process variable, lay-up type, substrate material, etc., to beevaluated.7.5.2 Randomly divide each

33、 set of 90 specimens into ninegroups of ten each and sequentially number them for identifi-cation. (Depending upon the statistical accuracy desired, addi-tional specimens may be desired; see Practice E122).7.5.3 Include twelve additional test specimens for moisturecontent determinations during aging

Precision and Bias11.1 Precision is made up of two parts: repeatabilit

44、y (withina laboratory) and reproducibility (between laboratories). Sinceonly one automatic boil machine exists it is not possible todetermine the reproducibility of this test method.11.1.1 The repeatability is dependent, in large part, upon theindividual test method used to determine the bond streng

45、th ofthe laminate. For example, Test Method D906 for PlywoodAdhesives, or other test methods as appropriate for the specifictest specimen or joint configuration.11.2 This test method has no measure of bias since thestrength of the laminate and wood failure are defined by thetesting methods.12.
