Abstract

Determination of Design Life in less than real time as eluded researchers for decades. Recently, ASTM has issued a new standard, ASTM C1850, that outlines a procedure to develop accelerated testing methods to determine the design life of a sealant. This paper will use this new ASTM C1850 standard as a template to examine the ongoing research at NIST. The results will demonstrate where significant progress has been accomplished.
