1、Designation: D 5657 07Standard Test Method forFluid Tightness Ability of Adhesives Used on ThreadedFasteners1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5657; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of la
2、st revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the abilityof adhesives used for locking and sealing threaded fasteners, t
3、omake leak-tight assemblies.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The SI units given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the
4、user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 Many of the terms in this test method are defined inTerminology D 907.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of s
6、ubjecting an adhesive-cured nut-and-bolt assembly to 50-psi pressure and determin-ing the cured adhesives ability to make the assembly leak-tight.5. Significance and Use5.1 Thread-locking adhesives are often used on threadedfasteners in sealing applications. This test method is used todetermine an a
7、dhesives ability to provide sealing capabilitiesunder specified conditions.6. Apparatus6.1 Test Fixture, as shown in Fig. 1, consisting of thefollowing:6.1.1 Pressure Vessel, provided with a means of filling withsoapy water, capable of applying, withstanding, and measuring50-psi (345-kPa) pressure o
8、f soapy water, and equipped withan air inlet and a gage for supplying and reading the pressure.6.1.2 Metal Plate, flat, smooth approximately12 in. (12.7mm) thick, drilled with a38-in. (9.5-mm) hole at its center. Thehole is counterbored58-in. (15.9-mm) diameter by116 in. (1.6mm) deep. The metal plat
9、e is welded to the pressure vessel.6.1.3 Rubber O-Ring or Flat Rubber Gasket,58-in. (15.9-mm) outside diameter by716-in. (11.1-mm) inside diameter by332 in. (2.4 mm) thick.6.1.4 Metal Plate, used as a means of pressing the nut of theadhesive-treated test specimen against the O-ring or gasketwith suf
10、ficient force to prevent leakage between the top plateand the washer face of the test specimen nut.6.1.5 Studs and Nuts, used to clamp the fixture.7. Test Specimens7.1 Steel Bolts38-in. size, Grade 5, in accordance withSAE J429, having a minimum length of 1 in. (25.4 mm) witha hexagonal head. Use th

Procedure8.1 Degrease all nut-and-bolt test specimens, keep themclean, and store at 70 to 77F (21 to 25C) at a relativehumidity of less than 20 %.8.2 Determine fluid tightness on not less than five speci-mens as follows:8.2.1 Apply test adhesiv
16、e to the threads of the test bolt andnut E. Place the test bolt through the center hole in plate D andscrew the test nut onto the bolt by hand, allowing three threadsto protrude.8.2.2 Cure the adhesive in accordance with the manufactur-ers instructions, with the test specimens standing vertically on
17、the bolt heads.8.2.3 Cure the resulting assemblies for 24 to 26 h at 70 to77F (21 to 25C) and 45 to 55 % relative humidity.8.2.4 After curing, position the fixture with the top plate upand fill the pressure vessel with room-temperature water towhich sufficient soap or synthetic wetting agent has bee
18、n addedto reduce its surface tension.8.2.5 Set the O-ring or gasket and the test specimen in placeand swivel the bottom plate over the specimen and thetightening studs.8.2.6 Clamp the test specimen in position by tightening thenuts of the studs against the bottom plate, forcing the nut of thetest sp
19、ecimen against the O-ring or gasket.8.2.7 Reposition the apparatus so that the fluid level isabove the test specimen.8.2.8 Apply 50 6 5-psi pressure to the water and determineif leakage occurs between the threads of the test nut and boltwithin 1 min of applying the pressure.9.
