Terminology3.1 DefinitionsThe definitions of the following terms usedin this test method are found in Terminology C717: compound,seal, sealant, standard conditions, substrate and tape sealant.4. Summary of Tes
6、t Method4.1 The tape sealant to be tested is rolled into spherical ballsof equal weight. Four spherical balls are placed between twoaluminum plates, which are then compressed. A standardweight is placed on the test assembly for1hatroomtemperature. The height of the test assembly is measured todeterm
7、ine the rebound of the sample. The test assembly is thenplaced in an 88C (190F) oven with the standard weight on it.After 24 h the height of the test assembly is measured again todetermine the flow of the sample.5. Significance and Use5.1 Tape sealants are tacky, deformable solids, which areused und
8、er compression between two or more surfaces ofsimilar or dissimilar substrates in a variety of sealing applica-tions. These tapes are normally supplied in a roll form with arelease paper interlever and are hand pressed against a fixedsubstrate. This procedure is designed to give an indication ofthe

16、tionally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.18. Test Assembly Preparation8.1 A total of two ass
17、emblies per tape are to be prepared.8.1.1 Prepare a test assembly as follows:8.1.1.1 Clean two aluminum plates with isopropyl alcohol(IPA) or other suitable solvent.8.1.1.2 Using a marking pen, draw intersecting diagonals onone side of both metal plates. On each plate mark four points32 mm (1.25 in.
18、) from the intersection of the diagonals asshown in Fig. 1. These become the top surfaces.8.1.1.3 Stack the plates, and using the thickness gage,measure the combined height of two aluminum plates at theintersection of the diagonals. Record as aluminum thickness(A).8.1.1.4 Using a laboratory precisio
19、n balance, weigh out fourlengths of tape sealant to 4.00 6 0.05 g each. Each 4 g sampleshould be tightly rolled into a spherical ball without workingthe material excessively avoid entrapping air. Condition thefour balls of tape for 1 h according at standard conditionsbefore proceeding to 8.1.1.5.8.1
20、.1.5 Place each of the four4 g spherical balls of tapesealant at quarter points (31.75 mm (1.25 in.) from theintersection of the diagonals) of the diagonals on one of themetal plates.8.1.1.6 Place three steel spacers on the aluminum plate, oneinboard between the spherical balls of tape and one space
21、routboard of the balls of tape as shown in Fig. 2. The spacer barsshould not contact the compound.8.1.1.7 Position the other aluminum plate evenly over thespherical balls of tape sealant with the face marked withdiagonals away from the tape sealant (Fig. 2).8.1.1.8 Center the assembly on the base pl
22、ate of the labpress at room temperature and compress firmly to the spacerbars, until the spacer bars cannot be moved by hand. Maintainthis compression mode for 1 min. At the end of 1 min raise thepress and remove the assembly taking care not to disturb it.Carefully remove the spacer bars (see Fig. 3
23、).9. Conditioning9.1 Condition the test assemblies at standard conditions for1h.10. Procedure10.1 After1hatstandard conditions, using the thicknessgage, measure the thickness of each test assembly at theintersection of the diagonals to 0.025 mm (0.001 in.). Recordthis value as (B). For each assembly

25、ical convectionoven maintained at 88 6 1C (190 6 2F). Position a 3.63 kg(8.0 lb) weight on top of each test assembly. Center the weighton each test assembly, avoiding sliding of the weight during thetest. Expose the test specimens at 88 6 1C (190 6 2F) for 24h.10.3 After 24 h, remove the test assemb
