Test Specimens7.1 The standard sub
19、strate used in the test shall be portlandcement mortar, float glass, and aluminum alloy.NOTE 1When requested, only one or two of the standard materialsmay be tested with the sample. Likewise other substrates such as brick,marble, wood, etc., may be specified by the purchaser in place of or inadditio
20、n to the standard substrate for test with the sealant sample.7.1.1 Mortar Block Prepare cement mortar blocks, each 3by 1 by 1 in. (75 by 25 by 25 mm) in size, using one part ofhigh early strength portland cement conforming to Type III ofSpecification C 150 to two parts by weight of clean uniformlygr
21、aded, concrete fine aggregate (sand) conforming to Specifi-cation C33. Use sufficient water to produce a flow of 1006 5%when tested in accordance with the procedure for the determi-nation of consistency of cement mortar described in TestMethod C 109. After curing one day in moist air and six daysin

(25 by 75 mm), of each block bywet grinding either with a belt sander using No. 60 aluminumcarbide sanding belt or using an iron lap with No. 60 siliconcarbide (or aluminum oxide) grain until the aggregate isunifor
23、mly exposed. Return blocks to saturated lime waterstorage until needed.7.1.1.1 Blocks may be prepared and shipped to other loca-tions for use. The blocks may be shipped dry and shall bereturned to lime water storage on arrival until needed.7.1.1.2 Prior to use, wet grind the previously ground face t
24、oremove any laitance, rinse thoroughly under running tap waterand dry the blocks overnight at 220 to 230F (105 to 110C).Clean the blocks of film or powder by vigorous brushing witha stiff-bristled fiber brush.

Prior to use, theglass shall be cleaned by wiping the surface with methyl ethylketone or similar solvent. Then dip the surface in a detergentsolution. This should be a 0.04 % solution of an alco
26、hol ethoxysulfate.6An alternative would be a 0.1 % solution of a clearhand dishwashing detergent.7These solutions should be madeup in distilled or deionized water. Rinse the surface (withouttouching it) in distilled or deionized water and allow it to airdry. The float glass requires reinforcement to
27、 survive the rigorsof the subsequent testing procedures. This must be done priorto the compression-extension cycling performed in 9.4. Rein-forcement is provided by adhering 3 by 1 by14 in. (76.2 by25.4 by 6.4 mm) aluminum plates to the two outside surfacesof the formed test specimen. Any adhesive m
28、ay be used.Commercially available two part epoxies have been foundsuitable. Although the time of reinforcement is not critical,application of the aluminum plates to the glass before prepar-ing the test specimens has been found convenient.7.1.3 AluminumThe aluminum plates shall be 3 by 1 by14in.

Prior touse, the aluminum (and other metallic substrates, when speci-fied) shall be cleaned as specified for float glass (7.1.2) (Notes2 and 3).NOTE 2Methyl ethyl ketone and similar solvents are both toxic a
30、ndflammable and should be handled with caution in a well ventilated hood.NOTE 3At the request of the sealant producer, the detergent cleaningstep shall be omitted.7.2 PrimersWhere use of primer is recommended by thesealant manufacturer, substrate materials shall be primed withthe recommended primer
31、or primers.7.3 Preparation of Test Specimens:7.3.1 Standard conditions of temperature and relative hu-midity used throughout this test method are defined as 73.4 63.6F (23 6 2C) and 50 6 5 %, respectively.7.3.2 Multicomponent SealantsPrepare three test speci-mens for each substrate that is to be use
32、d in the test. Aftermaintaining the unopened sample for at least 24 h at standardconditions, mix thoroughly for 5 min at least 250 g of basecompound with the appropriate amount of curing agent. Applya bead of sealant12 by12 by 2 in. (12.7 by 12.7 by 50.8 mm)between parallel 1 by 3-in. (25.4 by 76.2
33、mm) faces of similarblocks or plates (Fig. 5(a),Fig. 5(b), and Fig. 5(c). Useappropriate spacer blocks to form the proper size of the bead.Apply polyethylene adhesive tape or any other suitable inertrelease agent to the inside surfaces of the spacers to preventadhesion of the spacers to the sealant
34、after cure. Use adhesivetape, rubber bands, or clamps to hold the test assembly togetherbefore and after filling it with the compound. In the case of apourable-type compound, use masking or any other suitabletape to retain the compound.7.3.3 Single-Component SealantsPrepare three testspecimens as de
35、scribed in 7.3.2 except that no mixing ofcomponents is required. Condition the sealed cartridge or bulkcontainer at standard conditions at least 24 h before use.6Neodol 25-35, a registered trademark of Shell Oil Co., One Shell Plaza,Houston, TX 77002, has been found suitable for this purpose.7Dawn,
