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 1—Movement capability is defined in Test Method E1399/E1399M.

1.2 This specification covers all colors of architectural strip seals.

Note 2—The 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 either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the 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.

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

9.1.1 Extruded as a membrane,

9.1.2 Extruded as tubular,

9.1.3 With frames,

9.1.4 With flanges mechanically secured,

9.1.5 With flanges chemically secured,

9.1.6 Used in interior or exterior applications, and

9.1.7 Used in any construction of the building.

9.2 This 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:

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