Might be good to bring some example sentences into the post that show the query/doubts you have.

When that acts as a relative pronoun, the clause introduced by that acts as an adjective.
For example:
The book that I bought is very interesting.
- The relative clause "that I bought" is acting as an adjective, modifying (describing) the noun book.
On the other hand, when that is used as a conjunction, the clause introduced by that is indeed a "substantive clause" (Noun clause), since this clause generally acts as either the subject or the object in a sentence.
For example:
That Michael would win the election was very obvious.
- The clause "That Michael would win the election" acting as subject of the above sentence.
Michael said that he would win the elections.
- The clause "that he would win the elections" acting as object of the above sentence.
p.s. Our book EducationAisle Sentence Correction Nirvana discusses the various "avatars" of that, their application and examples in significant detail. If you or someone is interested, PM me your email-id; I can mail the corresponding section.
