1、Designation: C907 03 (Reapproved 2012)Standard Test Method forTensile Adhesive Strength of Preformed Tape Sealants byDisk Method1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C907; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revisi
2、on, 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 a laboratory procedure fordetermining the tensile adhesive strength of a prefo
3、rmed tapesealant. The type of failure can be determined, and the degreeof cohesive/adhesive failure can be estimated.1.2 The values stated in metric (SI) units are to be regardedas the standard. The values given in parentheses are providedfor information purposes only.1.3 The subcommittee with juris
4、diction is not aware of anysimilar ISO standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of reg
5、ulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C717 Terminology of Building Seals and Sealants3. Terminology3.1 DefinitionsThe definitions of the following terms usedin this test method are found in Terminology C717: adhesivefailure; cohesive failure; preformed tape seal
6、ant; sealant; andsubstrate.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The preformed tape sealant is compressed between twoaluminum disks. The disks are pulled apart in a tensile tester tofailure. The maximum tensile strength and failure mode arerecorded.5. Significance and Use5.1 Preformed tape sealants are tacky
7、, deformable solids,that are used under compression between two or moresubstrates, in various sealing applications where the surfacesmay be of similar or dissimilar materials. This proceduremeasures the tensile strength of the preformed tape sealant. Italso provides an indication of the cohesive nat
8、ure and adhesivebonding properties of the preformed tape sealant. This proce-dure is not intended to simulate actual use conditions.6. Apparatus and Accessory Materials6.1 Test Fixture, fabricated of aluminum (mill finish), inaccordance with Fig. 1.NOTE 1Other substrates may be substituted in 6.1.6.

United States18.1.2 Set the allen screw stop so that when the disks areassembled and the dowel is seated against it, the distancebetween the parallel disk surfaces is 3.2 mm (0.125 in.).8.1.3 Place sufficient preformed tape sealant on the face ofthe fixture so
15、that when mated with the matching face, theentire 3.2-mm (0.125-in.) gap will be filled.8.1.4 After mating, uniformly compress the test fixture inthe compression device until the dowel contacts the allen screwstop. Check to make sure the entire 3.2-mm (0.125-in.) gap isfilled with sealant. Compress
16、at the rate of 51 mm (2 in.)/minand hold in compression for 1 min. (Laboratories not able tocomply should record the method used and approximatecompression rate.)8.1.5 At the end of 1 min, remove the assembly from thepress device, taking care not to disturb it.8.1.6 With a knife, trim all excess sea
17、lant from the peripheryof the assembled fixture.9. Conditioning9.1 Condition the test specimens as prepared in Section 8,for1hat236 2C (73.4 6 3.6F) before testing.9.2 Other conditioning periods may be included if and asdesired.10. Procedure10.1 Activate the tensile testing machine for recording the
18、force required to pull the specimen apart.10.2 Attach the test fixture to the jaws of the tensile testingmachine, taking care to align them vertically, and separate at acrosshead speed of 51 mm (2 in.)/min until failure occurs. Thetest temperature shall be 23 6 2C (73.4 6 3.6F). (Otherconditions may
19、 be used.)10.3 Record the peak stress load in newtons (or poundsforce).10.4 Visually inspect and record the mode of preformedtape sealant failure, cohesive or adhesive and the appropriatepercentage of each type of failure.11. Calculation11.1 For each specimen, calculate the maximum tensilestrength b
20、y dividing the force in newtons (or pounds force) atthe peak stress load by 0.0527 m2(or 1.976 in.2) (the bondedarea of the fixture) to get units of pascals (or pounds force persquare inch).11.2 If the values are not within 10 %, repeat the test.12.
