3、his test method covers a laboratory procedure forquantitatively measuring the tensile strength, stiffness, andadhesion properties of insulating glass edge seals that are usedin structural sealant glazing applications. Edge seals for theseapplications use a structural sealant to bond both glass lites
4、 andthe edge spacer into a monolithic sealed insulating glass unit.In typical applications, the structural sealant acts to hold theoutside lite in place under wind and gravity load and tomaintain the edge spacer in its proper position. Hereafter, theterm “insulating glass” will be abbreviated as “IG
5、.”1.2 The characterization of the IG secondary sealant prop-erties, as defined by this test method, are strongly dependent onglass and edge spacer cleaning procedures, IG spacer profile,location of spacer, and primary IG sealant application. Users ofthis test method must recognize that the IG edge s
6、eal assemblyinfluences the secondary sealant properties.1.3 The values determined by this test method will becharacteristic of the particular edge seal assembly that is tested.NOTE 1Presently, only elastomeric, chemically curing silicone seal-ants specifically formulated for use as the secondary sea
7、l of IG units arerecognized as having the necessary durability for use in structural sealantglazing applications.1.4 The values stated in SI (metric) units are to be regardedas the standard.

9、 sealant, structural sealant, substrate.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Five specimens are fabricated to duplicate the edge sealdesign of an IG unit for structural glazing applications. Afterthe secondary structural sealant is cured the specimens aretested to failure in tension. Testing is conducted at
10、 23 6 2C(74 6 3.6F) at a rate of 5 6 0.5 mm (0.2 6 0.02 in.) perminute. Strength, load-displacement response, failure mode,and primary IG edge seal behavior are recorded.5. Significance and Use5.1 Frequently IG units are adhered with a structural sealantto a metal framing system. In such application
11、s, only theinward lite of glass is usually adhered to the frame. As a result,a significant portion of any outward-acting or negative windload must be carried in tension by the joint seal between thetwo lites of the IG unit. This test will not provide informationon the integrity of the IG unit primar
12、y seal; however, it mayprovide data on load sharing between the primary IG vapor sealand the secondary structural sealant.5.2 Although this test method prescribes one environmentalcondition, other environmental conditions and exposure cyclescan be employed for specific project evaluation. Such devia
13、-tions should be described when reporting the data.6. Apparatus and Accessory Materials6.1 Tensile Testing Machine, capable of producing a tensileload on the specimen at a rate of 5.06 0.5 mm (0.20 6 0.02in.) per minute. The machine shall be capable of measuring theload to 64N(61 lb). See Fig. 1.6.1

If a coating is edge-deleted in practice, it should be edge-deletedfor the test.6.5 Edge SpacerThe spacer should be identical in mate-rial, cross section, and surface finish to the spacer to be used inthe IG edge seal design being evaluated.6.6 Primary Se
