Designation:C140114Standard Guide forStructural Sealant Glazing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1401;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 Structural sealant glazing,hereinafter referred to asSSG,is an application where a sealant not only can function asa barrier against the passage of air and water through a buildingenvelope,but also primarily provides structural support andattachment of glazing or other components to a window,curtain wall,or other framing system.1.2 This guide provides information useful to designprofessionals,manufacturers,contractors,and others for thedesign and installation of a SSG system.This information isapplicable only to this glazing method when used for a buildingwall that is not more than 15 from vertical;however,limitedinformation is included concerning a sloped SSG application.1.3 Only a silicone chemically curing sealant specificallyformulated,tested,and marketed for structural sealant glazingis acceptable for a SSG system application.1.4 The committee with jurisdiction for this standard is notaware of any comparable standard published by other organi-zations.1.5 The calculations and values stated in SI units are to beregarded as the standard.Values in parenthesis and inch-poundunits are for information only.SI units in this guide are inconformance with IEEE/ASTM SI 10.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2B117 Practice for Operating Salt Spray(Fog)ApparatusC99 Test Method for Modulus of Rupture of DimensionStoneC119 Terminology Relating to Dimension StoneC162 Terminology of Glass and Glass ProductsC503 Specification for Marble Dimension StoneC509 Specification for Elastomeric Cellular Preformed Gas-ket and Sealing MaterialC510 Test Method for Staining and Color Change of Single-or Multicomponent Joint SealantsC568 Specification for Limestone Dimension StoneC615 Specification for Granite Dimension StoneC717 Terminology of Building Seals and SealantsC719 Test Method for Adhesion and Cohesion of Elasto-meric Joint Sealants Under Cyclic Movement(HockmanCycle)C794 Test Method forAdhesion-in-Peel of Elastomeric JointSealantsC864 Specification for Dense Elastomeric Compression SealGaskets,Setting Blocks,and SpacersC880 Test Method for Flexural Strength of Dimension StoneC920 Specification for Elastomeric Joint SealantsC1036 Specification for Flat GlassC1048 Specification for Heat-Strengthened and Fully Tem-pered Flat GlassC1087 Test Method for Determining Compatibility ofLiquid-Applied Sealants with Accessories Used in Struc-tural Glazing SystemsC1115 Specification for Dense Elastomeric Silicone RubberGaskets and AccessoriesC1135 Test Method for Determining Tensile Adhesion Prop-erties of Structural SealantsC1172 Specification for Laminated Architectural Flat GlassC1184 Specification for Structural Silicone SealantsC1193 Guide for Use of Joint SealantsC1201 Test Method for Structural Performance of ExteriorDimension Stone Cladding Systems by Uniform StaticAirPressure DifferenceC1248 Test Method for Staining of Porous Substrate by JointSealantsC1249 Guide for Secondary Seal for Sealed Insulating GlassUnits for Structural Sealant Glazing ApplicationsC1253 Test Method for Determining the Outgassing Poten-tial of Sealant Backing1This guide is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee C24 on Building Sealsand Sealants and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C24.10 onSpecifications,Guides and Practices.Current edition approved June 1,2014.Published July 2014.Originally approvedin 1998.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as C140109a.DOI:10.1520/C1401-14.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 C1265 Test Method for Determining the Tensile Propertiesof an Insulating Glass Edge Seal for Structural GlazingApplicationsC1294 Test Method for Compatibility of Insulating GlassEdge Sealants with Liquid-Applied Glazing MaterialsC1330 Specification for Cylindrical Sealant Backing for Usewith Cold Liquid-Applied SealantsC1369 Specification for Secondary Edge Sealants for Struc-turally Glazed Insulating Glass UnitsC1392 Guide for Evaluating Failure of Structural SealantGlazingC1394 Guide for In-Situ Structural Silicone Glazing Eval
