7、) GuidelineSpecification for Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems(EIFS), Class PB3. Summary of Test Method3.1 Specimens are tested for breaking force with and with-out conditioning. Conditioning is immersion for 28 days in anaqueous solution of 5% sodium hydroxide.3.2 Breaking force is determined
8、by mounting a test speci-men in a tensile testing machine and applying a force to thespecimen until it breaks.4. Significance and Use4.1 Glass fiber reinforcing meshes are used to strengthenEIFS. The reinforcing meshes are embedded into base coatsthat contain portland cement, which potentially expos
9、es theglass fibers in the reinforcing meshes to weakening by theaction of alkali. The breaking force following alkali exposureas determined by this method, is a factor used to comparativelyevaluate the alkali resistance of EIFS glass fiber reinforcingmeshes in the laboratory.4.2 This test method doe

The perfor-mance of an EIFS is a function of many factors, such as properinstallation, rigidity of supporting construction and resistanceof the EIFS to deterioration by other causes.5.

Sampling6.1 Laboratory Samplefrom a sample roll, cut 30 speci-mens 50 6 3 mm (2 in.) wide at least 600 mm 6 13 mm (24in.) long; 15 specimen
16、s with their long dimensions parallel tothe machine (warp) direction, and 15 specimens with their longdimensions parallel to the cross (fill) direction.6.2 The actual number of yarns shall be equal within thewidth dimensional tolerance allowed (6 3mm18 in.), andthe actual number of yarns shall be re
17、ported.6.3 Specimens shall be spaced across the width of the fabricto ensure representation of different warp yarns. Fill specimensshall be from widely spaced locations within the sample roll.7. Preparation of Specimens7.1 Number each specimen at both ends and then cut thespecimens in half crosswise
18、 to provide one set for determiningthe conditioned breaking force and another set for determiningthe unconditioned breaking force. This allows for breaks onpaired specimens which leads to more direct comparison ofalkali conditioned versus unconditioned breaking force.8. Alkali Conditioning of Specim
19、ens8.1 Record the number of and placement of each specimenso that, following conditioning, the breaking force value ofeach conditioned specimen may be associated with the break-ing force value of the unconditioned specimen from the same50 3 600 mm (2 3 24 in.) strip. Markings may be destroyedby the
20、alkali exposure. Any specimen tags used shall not bereactive with the alkali solution.8.2 Prepare a 5% (50 g/L 6.68 oz/gal) sodium hydroxidesolution and place it in the conditioning container to a depthsufficient to cover the specimens with 25 mm of solution (1in.). Maintain the solution at 22 6 3C
21、(72 6 5F).8.3 Immerse in the solution one 50 x 300 mm (2 3 12 in.)specimen strip from each pair cut from the 50 x 600 mm (2 324 in.) strips. Cover the strips by 25 mm (1 in.) of solution. Thestrips shall be straight. If the strips have a tendency to curl, theymay be weighted at the ends by small wei
22、ghts inert to thesolution, such as ceramic tile fragments. Cover the solutioncontainer with a tight cover and mark the solution level on thecontainer. Self clinging plastic wrap may be used. If thesolution level drops from evaporative loss, discontinue test.8.4 Condition specimens in the solution fo

Procedure10.1 A resin may be applied to the ends of the specimens tomake “tabs” to prevent slippage and jaw breaks duringbreaking as defined in Specificatio
25、n D 579.10.2 Mount the specimen securely with 200 mm (8 in.) ofseparation between the grips.10.3 Operate the machine to extend the specimen at the rateof 100 mm (4 in.) per minute until the specimen breaks.10.4 Record the breaking force (N/50 mm lbf/2 in.).10.5 If specimen slips in the jaw, or break

27、ditioned specimens with their long directionparallel to the fill.(d) Conditioned specimens with their long direction paral-lel to the fill.NOTE 1The fragile nature of the specimens and the resultant testvariability will make it obvious to the operator when a sample is itselfdefective or has been dam
28、aged by the testing process. Results of suchsamples should not be used.11.
