Terminology3.1 DefinitionsThe definitions of the following terms usedin this test method are found in Terminology C717: adhesivefailure
7、; cohesive failure; preformed tape sealant; sealant;standard conditions; and substrate.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.
8、5. Significance and Use5.1 Preformed tape sealants are tacky, 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 tap
9、e sealant. Italso provides an indication of the cohesive nature and adhesivebonding properties of the preformed tape sealant. This proce-dure is not intended to simulate actual use conditions.6.

Test Specimens8.1 Prepare two test specimens as follows:8.1.1 Clean the surface of the test f
16、ixture with clean solventto remove grease, oil, or residue from previous test, and dry.8.1.2 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 sea
17、lant on the face ofthe fixture so 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.) ga
18、p isfilled with sealant. Compress 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
19、 With a knife, trim all excess sealant 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
20、 testing machine for recording theforce 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 (
21、73.4 6 3.6F). (Otherconditions may 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, calcu
22、late the maximum tensilestrength by 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.

In future use of this test method, the differencebetween two test results obtained in the same laboratory on thes
25、ame material will be expected to exceed 7.835 psi only about5 % of the time.13.2 Reproducibility (I(R)The reproducibility (betweengiven laboratories) interval for 6 materials tested by 4 labora-tories is 48.611 psi. In future use of this test method, thedifference between two test results obtained i
