7、 of Building Constructions3. Significance and Use3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 Terms and their related standard definitions in Section 4 are intended for use uniformly and consistently in all buildingseals and sealants test methods, specifications, guides, and practices. The purpose of such use is to promot
8、e a clear understandingand interpretation of the standards in which they are used.3.1.2 Definitions of terms are written in the broadest sense possible, consistent with the intended meaning. Definitions have notbeen limited to a specific technical field when they can have a multi-field application.3
9、.1.3 The definition of a term that can have different meanings in different technical fields is preceded by a phrase limiting itto the specific field intended, that is, “in building construction.”3.2 Description of Terms:1 This terminology is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C24 on Building
