CONTAINED IN VOL. 04.12, 2017 Defines the physical requirements for the fully cured elastomeric alloy and the movement capabilities of preformed architectural compression seals used for sealing expansion joints in buildings and parking structures.

9.1Architectural strip seals included in this specification shall be those:

9.1.1Extruded as a membrane,

9.1.2Extruded as tubular,

9.1.3With frames,

9.1.4With flanges mechanically secured,

9.1.5With flanges chemically secured,

9.1.6Used in interior or exterior applications, and

9.1.7Used in any construction of the building.

9.2This specification will give users, producers, building officials, code authorities, and others a basis for verifying material and performance characteristics of representative specimens under common test conditions. This specification will produce data on the following:

9.2.1The physical properties of the fully cured elastomeric alloy, and

9.2.2The movement capability in relation to the nominal joint width as defined under Test Method E1399/E1399M.

9.3This specification compares similar architectural strip seals but is not intended to reflect the system's application. “Similar” refers to the same type of architectural strip seal within the same subsection under 9.1.

9.4This specification does not provide information on the following:

9.4.1Durability of the architectural strip seal under actual service conditions, including the effects of cycled temperature on the strip seal;

9.4.2Loading capability of the system and the effects of a load on the functional parameters established by this specification;

9.4.3Shear and rotational movements of the specimen;

9.4.4Any other attributes of the specimen, such as fire resistance, wear resistance, chemical resistance, air infiltration, watertightness, and so forth; and

Note 3This specification addresses fully cured elastomeric alloys. Test Methods D395, D573, D1052, and D1149 are tests better suited for evaluating thermoset materials.

9.4.5Testing or compatibility of substrates.

9.5This specification is intended to be used as only one element in the selection of an architectural strip seal for a particular application. It is not intended as an independent pass or fail acceptance procedure. Other standards shall be used in conjunction with this specification to evaluate the importance of other service conditions such as durability, structural loading, and compatibility.
