1、Designation: C 712 03 (Reapproved 2009)Standard Test Method forBubbling of One-Part, Elastomeric, Solvent-Release TypeSealants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 712; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revisio
2、n, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers determination of the degree ofbubble formation or surface blistering in one-par
3、t, elastomericsolvent-release type sealants when exposed to elevated tem-peratures.1.2 The subcommittee with jurisdiction is not aware of anysimilar ISO standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the u
4、ser of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

5、1 DefinitionsRefer to Terminology C 717 for definitionsof the following terms used in this test method: compound,elastomer, elastomeric, sealant, solvent-release sealant, sub-strate.4. Significance and Use4.1 The type and amount of solvent used in these sealantscan sometimes give rise to surface bub
6、bling and blisteringproblems. The substrate used, whether porous or nonporous,will also have an effect. Although blistering is often caused bymisapplication, this test method is useful in differentiatingbetween a sealant that develops an acceptably smooth surfaceand one that may have blistering tend

Test Specimen6.1 Take the test specimen from a previously unopenedcontainer as received from the sealant manufacturer.7. Procedure7.1 Pre
10、pare three test specimens on each substrate as fol-lows: Center the frame on the test substrate and carefully fill itwith compound, avoiding air pockets. Strike off the surface ofthe compound flush with the frame, to a uniform thickness of18 in. (3.2 mm). With the spatula, cut all around the outside
11、edge of the compound and lift the frame straight up and off.7.2 Condition the specimens for 48 h at 73.4 6 3.6F (23 62C) and 50 6 5 % relative humidity.7.3 Place the specimens in the oven at 122 6 3.6F (50 62C) for 72 h.7.4 After heat exposure, allow the specimens to cool at 73.46 3.6F (23 6 2C) for

Report8.1 For each substrate, report the total surface area covered
14、by the bubbles or blisters, estimated to the nearest 0.1 in.2(65mm2). The area of bubble formation may be estimated bysuperimposing on the specimen a glass or clear plate ruled into12-in.

15、he results of four laboratories testing threematerials using five specimens per test. The results are given inTable 1.9.1.1 At 95 % confidence level a variation of as much as0.59 in.2can be expected within a laboratory and 0.60 in.2between laboratories. This is based on three materials beingtested b
