Terminology3.1 DefinitionsSee Terminology C717 for applicable defi-nitions of the following terms: caulking, compound, elasto-meric and nonsag sealant, sealant, latex sealant.4. Significance and Use4.1 Sealants are supplied with various
8、 rheological propertiesranging from pourable liquids to nonsagging pastes. Single-component sealants are supplied ready for use upon openingthe container. Multicomponent sealants are supplied as a basecomponent(s) and a curing agent separately packaged. Aftermixing the two or more parts, the sealant
9、 is ready forapplication. This test method is intended to provide a means tomeasure the extrusion rate spanning the range of rheologicalproperties.4.2 This test method also covers the option of measuring thefreeze-thaw and heat stability of such sealants.4.3 This test method provides for an option o
10、f either a metalor plastic nozzle. It is intended that the metal nozzle be usedwhen greater precision is required, such as in ASTM specifi-cations. The plastic nozzle may be used for general screeningof sealant properties or for developmental purposes when alarge number of test specimens are being t

19、cific gravity of the sealant as de-scribed in Test Methods D2452 or D1475, or use anotherscientifically correct technique. For multiple componentsystems, mix 100 g sealant 4 oz with the proper amount ofcuring agent.NOTE 1Curing times and conditions for multicomponent mixedcompounds may vary. Therefo
20、re, the length of time between mixing thecomponents and testing the extrusion rate may vary. Record the time frommix completion to the start of the extrusion test.7.3 For multiple component sealants, mix 400 g 14.1 ozsealant with the proper amount of curing agent. Follow themixing directions as reco
21、mmended by the manufacturer.7.4 Place a sufficient amount of sealant into the polyethyl-ene cartridge to fill it completely with the plunger in place, andlevel with the back of the cartridge.NOTE 2The cartridge filling is most easily accomplished by extrudingthe sealant into the test cartridge throu
22、gh 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 supplyand immediately extrude a small amount of material tocompletely fill the nozzle. Wipe off the end of the nozzle witha paper towel.7.6
23、 Extrude the sealant at 280 6 7 kPa 40 6 1 psi pressureinto the preweighed container (nearest 0.1 g) for 60 s. Makesure all of the material that has exited the end of the nozzle isin the container.7.7 Weigh the container to the nearest 0.1 g and subtract theinitial weight, to obtain the weight of th
