Class C dash numbers represen
25、t application time and assembly time in hours, e.g., C-12(48). 4. PREPARATION OF SEALING COMPOUND 7KHVHDOLQJFRPSRXQGPXVWEHPLHGDFFRUGLQJWRWKHPDQXIDFWXUHUVLQV tructions. The mix ratio of sealant base compound and the curing agent of two-part sealant shall be maintained as specified by the manufacturer
26、. NOTE: In order to achieve the expected cured sealant properties both curing agent and base compound must be mixed thoroughly to complete uniformity with no visible streaks or swirls of unmixed material. Both curing agent and base compound must be moved physically by the stirring instrument and the
27、 container walls. If mixed by hand the mixing blade shall be scraped frequently to ensure a complete blend. To minimize introduction of air into the sealant mixture (see AIR4069), no swirling motion should be used when stirring. To avoid risk of overheating the mixture and compromising application p
28、roperties the sealant mixture should not be over-mixed or mixed too fast. 4.1 Qualification Testing Manufacturers instructions for mixer operation and mixing must be followed. Plastic disposable cartridges, as shown in Figure 1 may be used, or a suitable manufacturers recommended alternative to hold
29、 the mixed sealant, from which it can later be extruded from the cartridges for sealing application and specimen fabrication. If specified in the applicable material specification, sealing compound may be provided in cartridges for multiple component sealants as shown in Figure 2 for Type I and Type
30、 II kits, and shall be mixed according to sealant manufacturers instructions. 4.2 Acceptance Testing Sealing compound supplied in multi-component (e.g., barrier or injection) kits for acceptance testing may be machine or hand-PLHGIROORZLQJWKHPDQXIDFWXUHUVUHFRPPHQGHGLQVWUXFWLRQVXVLQJWKHDSSURSUL DWHUD

APPLICATION PROPERTIES TEST METHODS 5.1 Nonvolatile Content Three samples of the sealing compound shall be tested. Weigh a cup to the nea
33、rest 0.001 g (W1). Transfer 11 to 12 g of mixed sealing compound to the cup as rapidly as possible within 5 minutes of the completion of mixing, and weigh immediately to the nearest 0.001 g (W2). Place the sealing compound and uncovered cup in an air circulating or friction oven that has been prehea
34、ted to 158 F (70 C). After heating for seven days or as specified in the applicable material specification, place the sealing compound and cup in a desiccator and cool to room temperature. Weigh to the nearest 0.001 g (W3). Determine (W2 - W1) and (W3 - W1). Calculate the percent nonvolatile content
35、 as shown in Equation 1: 100WWWWenonvolatilPercent1213 u (Eq. 1) The measured value shall be checked for conformance to the applicable material specification.

Add 10 mL 0.5 mL of a 0.25% silver nitrate solution (2.5 g 0.01 g of silver nitrate in 1000 mL 10 mL of reagent water conforming to ASTM D1193 Type IV). Cautiously add 1.5 g 0.01 g of ammonium persulfate. Boil gently for an addition

PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES TEST METHODS 6.1 Specific Gravity Three test specimens approximately 0.125 x 1 x 1 inch (3.18 x 25 x 25 mm) in size shall be cut out with a sharp blade from a sheet of the sealing compound that has been cured at standard conditions in ac
42、cordance with AS5127 (4), for the time defined in the applicable material specification. Determine the specific gravity of each sample in accordance with ASTM D792, Method A. The averaged value shall be checked for conformance to the applicable material specification for the sealing compound under t
43、est. 6.2 14-Day Hardness The instantaneous Type A Durometer hardness shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D2240 after the sealing compound has been cured for 14 days at standard conditions in accordance with AS5127 (4). The reading shall be taken using two 0.125 inch (3.18 mm) thick specimens
44、, stacked back to back to make a total thickness of 0.25 inch (6.4 mm). The measured hardness shall be checked for conformance to the applicable material specification. For quality acceptance testing only, the above hardness can be measured prior to 14 days duration at standard conditions in accorda
45、nce with AS5127 (4). If the recorded hardness exceeds the minimum requirements of the applicable material specification, then the result is acceptable. 6.3 Radiographic Density NOTE: The AMS Committee G-9 is removing this requirement from the AMS sealing compound specifications based on its value in
46、 detecting sealing compound failures and the development of NDI equipment for inspection. 6.3.1 Preparation of Test Panels A 6 inch (152 mm) square plate, 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) thick shown in Figure 6, shall be prepared from AMS4049 aluminum alloy. A notch 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) wide shall be milled to a d
47、epth of 0.125 inch (3.18 mm) half way across the plate. A continuation of this notch shall be milled completely through the remaining half to form a slot in the plate. 6.3.2 Application of Sealant After cleaning the test panel according to AS5127 (6.1), a sample of the sealant to be tested shall be mixed according to WKHPDQXIDFWXUHUVUHFRPPHQGHGSURFHGXU
