Summary of Test Method4.1 This test
8、 method includes the measurement of tensileforce, elongation, and percent cohesive or adhesive failure andobservations of the specimens general physical appearanceand observation of elongation.4.2 Test specimens are exposed to 70C (158F) heat forfour weeks while contacting the liquid-applied glazing
9、 materialbeing evaluated.4.2.1 Control specimens are exposed only to the 70C(158F) heat.4.3 Compatibility is determined by comparing the measuredand observed properties of the test specimens to the controlsamples.5. Significance and Use5.1 Liquid-applied glazing materials, bedding sealants,glazing c
10、ompounds (that is, glazing sealants) are designed toprovide a seal between the IG unit and the window or wallframing. Frequently there is physical contact between thesematerials and an IG unit edge sealant. Depending on theparticular IG unit edge sealant, there can be a detrimentalphysical or chemic
11、al interaction between it and the liquid-applied glazing material. Detrimental effects may include:weakening, softening, hardening, or adhesive failure of the IGedge sealant, or visual obstruction inside the IG unit.6. Apparatus and Accessory Materials6.1 Oven, forced draft, capable of maintaining a

The conta

Specimen Preparation7.1 Prepare a set of five test specimen assemblies for eachIG edge sealant or liquid-applied glazing
21、 material, or both,being tested.7.2 Construction of the test specimens is done by placingthe 13 by 50-mm (0.50 by 2-in.) IG spacers into the recesses inthe test fixture. The glass substrates are installed on either sideof the spacer and the assembly is clamped together withmachine screws through the
22、 ends of the side bars. The testfixture holds the samples stationary while the IG edge sealantis applied. The IG edge sealant siteline should be approxi-mately 6 mm (0.25 in.) after the specimen is prepared.7.3 Take special care to strike off the sealant flush with theglass substrates.7.4 Cure the t
23、est specimens for a total of 7 days at 22 6 2C(72 6 2F) and 50 % relative humidity.7.5 The samples should be removed from the test fixtureafter the end of the first day of the seven-day cure period.7.6 Measure the width and length of the sealant contact areain millimetres (inches) with the glass sub

Procedure8.1 Spread the liquid-applied glazing material onto thebottom of the aluminum or glass pan to a thickness ofapproximately 6 mm (0.25 in.).8.2 Press seale
25、d edges of three of the IG edge specimensinto the liquid-applied glazing material to a depth of approxi-mately 1.6 mm (0.0625 in.).8.3 Cover the container with aluminum foil and place in theoven for four weeks at 70 6 2C (158F).8.4 Place the remaining two control specimens into anotherfoil-covered c
26、ontainer with no liquid-applied glazing materialand place in the oven for four weeks at 70 6 2C (158 6 3F).One set of control specimens are sufficient for each IG edgesealant when more than one liquid-applied glazing material isbeing tested. Do not expose more than one IG edge sealantcontrol or one

Take care not to disturb the IG edge sealant.8.7 Further condition the specimens for a minimum of 1 hbut not more than4hat226 2C (70 6 3F) and 50 %relatively humidity.8.8 After completio
29、n of conditioning, observe the test speci-mens for softening, tackiness, adhesive failure, swelling, crack-ing, or any other observed difference in the IG edge sealantspecimens from the control specimens.8.9 After observation, pull each specimen on a tensile testmachine at a rate of 5 mm (0.2 in.) p

Precision and Bias310.1 A statistical analysis made from the results
34、obtainedfrom a round-robin test of the tensile properties in which eachof four laboratories tested two glazing sealants and two IGedge sealants in accordance with the prescribed test for theeffect of the glazing sealant on the edge sealant resulted in thefollowing:10.1.1 The repeatability (within a
35、given laboratory) intervalfor two materials tested by four laboratories is 34.63 N (7.79lb). In future use of this test method, the difference betweentwo test results obtained in the same laboratory on the samematerial will be expected to exceed 34.63 N only about 5 % ofthe time.10.1.2 The reproduci
36、bility (between given laboratories) twomaterials tested by four laboratories is 103.9 N (23.4 lb). Infuture use of this test method, the difference between two testresults obtained in a different laboratory on the same materialwill be expected to exceed 103.9 N only about 5 % of the time.11.
