ASTM C1367-19(2023)
(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Dead Load Resistance of a Sealant in Elevated Temperatures
Standard Test Method for Dead Load Resistance of a Sealant in Elevated Temperatures
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 Sealants are generally subjected to stresses in end-use applications. This test method measures the heat resistance of sealants when subjected to dead load shear stresses while under heat.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers a laboratory procedure for determining the heat resistance of sealants. This test method is conducted under dead load in a shear mode. This test method was previously written to include only hot applied sealants.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are provided for information purposes only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 The subcommittee with jurisdiction of this standard is not aware of any similar or equivalent ISO standard.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

7. Sampling
7.1 Sealant shall be free of external surface contaminants
such as talc, oil, dust, and moisture. Handling of the sealant
surfaces in contact with the substrate shall be minimized.
7.2 Condition not less than 250 g of sealant (and sufficient
portion of other components, if a multicomponent) in a closed
container for 24 h at standard conditions.
8. Test Specimens
8.1 Prepare five test specimens from the bulk sample by
using the applicator or oven method.
8.1.1 Applicator Method:
8.1.1.1 Clean the glass and aluminum surfaces according to
the procedures set forth in Guide C1375.
8.1.1.2 Using the appropriate die or nozzle, apply a
25.4 mm by 25.4 mm (1 in. by 1 in.) layer of sealant onto one
end of the glass surface at a thickness that when compressed
will comply with 8.1.1.4. All substrates shall be at a tempera-
ture of 23 °C 6 2 °C (73.4 °F 6 3.6 °F). Apply the sealant at
the temperature specified by the sealant manufacturer.
