7、e4.1 Sealants are supplied with various rheological properties ranging from pourable liquids to nonsagging pastes. Single-component sealants are supplied ready for use upon opening the container. Multicomponent sealants are supplied as a basecomponent(s) and a curing agent separately packaged.After
8、mixing the two or more parts, the sealant is ready for application. Thistest method is intended to provide a means to measure the extrusion rate spanning the range of rheological properties.4.2 This test method also covers the option of measuring the freeze-thaw and heat stability of such sealants.4
9、.3 This test method provides for an option of either a metal or plastic nozzle. It is intended that the metal nozzle be used whengreater precision is required, such as in ASTM specifications. The plastic nozzle may be used for general screening of sealantproperties or for developmental purposes when
10、 a large number of test specimens are being tested.4.4 This test method measures the volume of sealant extruded in 1 min over a given period of time at a given pressure (kPaor psi).5.

Procedure A7.1 Condition the unopened container of sealant for at least 16 h at standard conditions.7.2 Determine the
19、 specific gravity of the sealant as described in Test Methods D2452 or D1475, or use another scientificallycorrect technique. For multiple component systems, mix 100 g sealant (4 oz)4 oz with the proper amount of curing agent.NOTE 1Curing times and conditions for multicomponent mixed compounds may v

Record the time from mix completion to the start of the extrusion test.7.3 For multiple component sealants, mix 400 g (14.1 oz)14.1 oz sealant with the proper amount of curing agent. Follow themi
21、xing directions as recommended by the manufacturer.7.4 Place a sufficient amount of sealant into the polyethylene cartridge to fill it completely with the plunger in place, and levelwith the back of the cartridge.NOTE 2The cartridge filling is most easily accomplished by extruding the sealant into t
22、he test cartridge through the nozzle end. Avoid any airentrapment as this will significantly affect the accuracy of the results.7.5 Attach the nozzle to the cartridge; connect the air supply and immediately extrude a small amount of material to completelyfill the nozzle.

If all the material is extruded in lessthan 60 s, note the length of time required and calculate the volume of sealant that would have been extrude
