Embodiment Construction

[0019] The following detailed description will explain the general principles of the invention, examples of which are further illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, like reference numbers indicate identical or functionally similar elements.

[0020] As used herein, "fluid" refers to any liquid, suspension, colloid, gas, plasma, or combination thereof.

[0021] refer to Figure 1 to Figure 3 , for testing test sample 102 ( figure 2 ) includes a base 110 having the following components: a body 111 defining a chamber 112; a platform 114; a plurality of legs 115; and a plurality of releasable fasteners 132. The testing apparatus 100 also includes a frame 120 (or cover) releasably mounted to the platform 114 of the base 110 by the plurality of releasable fasteners 132 to secure the test sample 102 on the platform 114 . Legs 115 support base 110 and may be coupled to the underside of platform 114 , to body 111 , or to another portion of base 110 . The base 1...

Abstract

A testing device for testing adhesion seal strength of a tape to a substrate. The testing device includes a body defining a chamber having a first port in fluid communication with the chamber, a platform sealingly attached to the chamber and having an elongate opening or a plurality of openings therethrough as a second port of the chamber. The testing device further includes a frame removably mounted to the platform. The frame defines a perimeter that surrounds the second port and, when mounted to the platform, secures a test substrate thereunder against the platform with a fluid-tight seal. Methods for preparing a test sample and methods of operating the testing device are also disclosed.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application No. 62 / 003,122, filed May 27, 2014, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to apparatus and methods for testing the seal strength of tapes to substrates, and more particularly to apparatus and methods for testing the seal strength of jacketing tapes to jacketing products used in building structures, such as house wraps. Background technique [0004] Sheathing tape is widely used in the construction industry to secure sheets of residential wrapping together, to seal joints in foam insulation, to repair tears and tears in construction materials including vapor barriers, Improving the energy efficiency of structures and for other similar purposes. If the sheathing tape fails, such as along the seams of the housewrap on the exterior walls of a house or other structure, water and air can penetr...
