ISO 2014 All rights reserved 1BS ISO 11617:2014ISO 11617:2014(E)Any notation in this standard shown as target set value x operational fluctuation y shall be interpreted as follows: set the experimental parameter at the target value x and maintain t
27、he experimental parameter during the test procedure at y from the specified setting x. If the operational fluctuations exceed the maximum allowable value after the equipment has stabilized, discontinue the test and correct the cause of the problem before continuing.4 PrincipleTest specimens are prep
28、ared in which the sealant to be tested adheres to two parallel support surfaces (substrates). The specimens are conditioned statically (no movement) in a controlled climate. The conditioned specimens are then exposed to repetitive degradation cycles of artificial weathering (light, heat, and moistur
29、e) and cyclic movement under controlled environmental conditions. Within each cycle, weathering is carried out for six weeks in an artificial weathering machine. Simultaneously, with the weathering, mechanical cycling is carried out by changing the position of the extension/compression once a week.
30、After completion of each degradation cycle (each lasting six weeks), the specimens (in their extended/compressed state) are visually examined for changes in appearance, cohesion, and adhesion of the sealant beads. The rating for quantity, width, and depth of cohesive cracks for a specific extension/
31、compression value achieved along the length of the specimen as well as the depth, length, and range of any very significant loss of cohesion or adhesion (defined as 3 mm crack depth) is determined and the general condition of the sealant is reported. The weathering and mechanical cycling exposure an
32、d the examination for failures constitute a degradation cycle and the degradation cycle is repeated as often as desired to achieve a certain exposure.5 Apparatus5.1 SupportAnodized aluminium support (as shown in Figure 1) for the preparation of test specimens, consisting of two pivoting, L-shaped an
33、odized aluminium support elements of dimensions 120 mm 18 mm 18 mm (length width height) and 2 mm thickness riveted onto an anodized aluminium base-plate of 2 mm thickness such that a cavity of dimensions 120 mm 20 mm 18 mm (length width height) is formed. Riveting of the support elements on the bas
34、e-plate shall be such that they can be turned freely with minimal friction on the pivot (fulcrum). The base plate holds five equally spaced holes of 5 mm diameter (for improved ventilation of the back face of the sealant such as to ensure better cure or drying of the sealant) and two 3 mm holes for
35、fixation of the specimen (see Figure 1 and Annex A). For the specification of the anodized aluminium, refer to ISO 13640. All surfaces of the anodized aluminium support to be later in contact with the sealant shall be cleaned according to the sealant manufacturers recommendation.NOTE Achieving optim
36、um adhesion on the support substrate is important in order to obtain reproducible ratings for surface and bulk degradation (cracking, crazing, cohesive failure, etc.) that is induced or influenced by mechanical cycling. Even a partial loss of adhesion will cause a section of the test specimen to be
37、exposed to no or a lower degree of mechanical cycling than intended for a given movement amplitude of the sealant and invalidate the results obtained for this movement exposure (as assessed along the extended leg of the test specimen). Currently, no cleaning procedure and cleaning agent(s) have been
38、 identified that provide optimum adhesion on the support substrate for all sealant products. Therefore, no cleaning procedure is specified in this International Standard. If the manufacturer does not provide a recommendation for the cleaning procedure, the following method is suggested for considera
39、tion by the experimenter: Clean all surfaces of the anodized aluminium support to be later in contact with the sealant with high purity acetone (purity, by gas chromatography: 99,8 %) as follows: a) saturate a clean, lint-free paper tissue or cloth with the solvent; b) clean the substrate with the s
40、olvent-saturated cloth or tissue by wiping a minimum of three times so that visible contamination cannot be observed; c) wipe the substrate with solvent-saturated cloth or tissue and immediately afterwards dry wipe the substrate surface thoroughly using a dry, clean, lint-free paper tissue or cloth
41、before the solvent completely evaporates. Repeat step c) at least once. In each wipe of the substrate surface during step c), a new, uncontaminated cloth or tissue should be used. For severely contaminated substrates, additional pre-cleaning steps can be required.If other support materials are to be
42、 used, they shall be characterized and shall be described in the test report. If other support dimensions are used, they shall be described in the test report.2 ISO 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO 11617:2014ISO 11617:2014(E)Figure 1 Schematic drawing of test specimen Sealant in anodized aluminium sup

If the spacers are made of material to which the sealant adheres, their surface shal
44、l be made anti-adherent, e.g. by a thin wax coating.5.3 Backing material (bond breaker)Open-cell foam backing material polyethylene (PE) or polyurethane (PU) foam of 3 mm thickness for the preparation of test specimens shall be used. The foam backing material shall not restrict the movement of the L
45、-shaped pivoted support elements.5.4 SeparatorsSeparators of appropriate dimensions shall be used to hold the test specimens in extension up to the maximum specified movement amplitude of the sealant.

47、light sourceFully automated test chamber with an artificial light source (5.8), shall be used, capable of exposing the test specimens to radiation under controlled conditions of temperature, relative humidity, and water, complying with the requirements of ISO 4892, Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4. The radiatio
