The values stated in eachsystem may not be equivalent; therefore, each system must beused independently

The gain inweight is used to calculate the water penetration rate.5. Significance and Use5.1 The results of this test method will ind

9、ed water.5.1.2 Some tape types allow a relatively free path in adirection normal to the backing or along backing pathwaysparallel to the adhesive-cup interface, allowing the adhesive tobecome the principal barrier.5.2 If the adhesive does not continue to adhere to the cupflange during the exposure p
10、eriods, allowing unintended path-ways for water to occur, the measurement should be consideredas not having been made. Consequently, the tape might beconsidered as being inappropriate for use on surfaces like thecup flange under moisture conditions approximating those ofthe test.NOTE 1It may be that
11、 the interest is simply in the tape material as awater barrier. In this case how well the tape adheres to the cup flange maybe of little consequence and steps to prevent any edge effects are in order.These are referred to in Section 10.6. Apparatus6.1 Test Cups,3made from materials that are nonhygro

Sampling7.1 Acceptance SamplingSampling shall be in accordancewith Practice D371
19、5/D3715M.7.2 Sampling for Other PurposesThe sampling and thenumber of test specimens depends on the purpose of thetesting. Practice E122 is recommended. It is common to test atleast five specimens of a particular tape. Test specimens shouldbe taken from several rolls of tape and whenever possible,am
20、ong several production runs of a tape. Strong conclusionsabout a specific property of a tape cannot be based on testresults of a single unit (roll) of a product.8. Test Specimens8.1 Prepare three specimens for each sample or sample roll.8.2 Specimens shall be 50 minus 2.5 mm 2.0 minus 0.1 in.wide an
21、d 155 minus 2.5 mm 6.0 minus 0.2 in. long from thesample material.8.3 When the sample material is pressure-sensitive tapewound in roll form, unwind and discard at least three, but nomore than six, outer wraps of tape from the sample roll beforetaking specimens for testing.8.4 Remove specimens from a
22、 freely rotating roll at the rateof 500 to 750 mm 20 to 30 in./s. Where width or other factorscausing high adherence to backing make it impossible toremove the specimen at the prescribed rate, remove it at a rateas close to 500 mm 20 in./s as possible.9. Conditioning9.1 Weigh in the standard conditi
23、oning atmosphere as de-scribed in Practice D4332.10. Procedure10.1 Prepare each specimen assembly individually.10.2 Fill the test cup to within approximately 3 mm 18 in.of the opening with the anhydrous calcium chloride and makesure it will not come into contact with the adhesive of thespecimen.10.3
24、 Apply the specimen to the flange, adhesive against it,allowing no bubbles or wrinkles. Use finger pressure to achievethis. When the sample material is larger than the specimendimension, trim it to the edges of the flange.10.3.1 When the adhesive is lacking or has insufficientbonding strength to the
25、 flange to maintain a seal during theexposure period, and when the parties concerned are interestedexclusively in the barrier properties for pathways normal to thesurface of the tape backing, a sealing material such asaluminum foil-backed pressure-sensitive tape can provideassurance that only the 25
26、.4 by 101.6-mm 1.0 by 4.0-in. areaat the flange opening is exposed and all edges are sealed.10.4 Prepare the remaining assemblies in the same way asthe first.10.5 Heat the assemblies in the oven at 49C 120F for 30min.10.6 Cool at standard conditions (Section 9) for 30 min andweigh to the nearest 5 m

Report the number of samples.13. Precision and Bias413.1 Precision:13.1.
31、1 An interlaboratory evaluation of two types ofpressure-sensitive tape by four laboratories has been con-ducted. The following summary presents the standard devia-tions as percentages of the mean. These may be larger orsmaller for any particular tape type or any particular manufac-turer. Careful tre
32、atment of outliers (individual extreme datum)may reduce the reported measures of precision.Residual (within roll and replication error) 110.9 %4Supporting data are available from ASTM Headquarters.
