1、Designation:E2134/E2134M14Standard Test Method forEvaluating the Tensile-Adhesion Performance of an ExteriorInsulation and Finish System(EIFS)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2134/E2134M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,i
2、n the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method evaluates the tensile-adhesion perfor-mance of an exterior insulation
3、and finish System(EIFS)or itsindividual components by two different procedures:ProcedureA,Dry Conditioning and Testing of Specimens;and ProcedureB,Wet Conditioning and Testing of Specimens.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The value
4、s stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use
