5.1 Extrudability measurements of latex sealants serve to indicate only their ease of application; they do not predict the performance capability of the compound after installation.

5.2 This test method also measures freeze-thaw and heat stability of such sealants.

1.1 This test method covers a laboratory procedure for the determination of extrudability of latex sealants after freeze-thaw and heat cycling.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

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.

Note 1: Currently there is no ISO standard similar to this test method.

1.4 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.
