ASTM E1783-96(2009)
Historical Standard: ASTM E1783-96(2009) Standard Specification for Preformed Architectural Strip Seals for Buildings and Parking Structures
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers 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. The preformed architectural strip seal is an elastomeric extrusion. This extrusion is either a membrane or tubular having an internal baffle system produced continuously and longitudinally throughout the material. These extrusions are secured in or over a joint by locking rails or an end dam nosing material. The architectural strip seal is compressed and expanded by this mechanical or chemical attachment.
Note 1Movement capability is defined in Test Method E1399 .
1.2 This specification covers all colors of architectural strip seals.
Note 2The products described in this specification are manufactured from thermoplastic elastomers defined as fully cured elastomeric alloys in Test Method D5048 .
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to inch-pound units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
