Description / Abstract: Introduction

Note: Nothing in this standard supercedes applicable laws and regulations.

Note: In the event of conflict between the English and domestic language, the English language shall take precedence.

Purpose. This test procedure is intended to measure the flow of paint shop preformed sealers.

Applicability.

Paint has been intentionally omitted from this test procedure, although it can be expected to have a significant effect on the flow properties of a paintable sealer.

The gauge repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) of this test procedure is poor. This test procedure is most appropriately used for making general flow comparisons between sealer materials, sealer parameters (e.g., thickness), or sealer processing conditions (e.g., bake) tested side by side.

Remarks. Not applicable.
