ASTM International Committee C24 on Building Seals and Sealants is developing ASTM WK21464 - Practice for Non-Destructive Evaluation of Adhesion of Installed Weatherproofing Sealant Joints Using a Rolling Device.

The use of rolling devices can provide a means to evaluate the adhesion of weather seals, for quality control in new installations, general evaluation of existing installations and the investigation of water and air leakage through building enclosures, said ASTM International.

ASTM WK21464 is under the jurisdiction of Subcommittee C24.30 on Adhesion.

Subcommittee C24.30 also revised ASTM C 1521 - Practice for Evaluating Adhesion of Installed Weatherproofing Sealant Joints to include rolling device technology as a means of sealant adhesion continuity evaluation.

Users of the proposed standard, as well as the revised ASTM C1521, will include sealant manufacturers, installers, architects, engineers and consultants.
