The inspector shall be afforded all reasonablefacilities for inspection and sampling which shall be conductedso as not to interfer
19、e unnecessarily with the operation of theworks.6.1.2 Samples shall consist of one of the manufacturersoriginal sealed containers selected at random from the lot orbatch of finished material. A batch or lot shall be considered asall finished material that was manufactured simultaneously orcontinuousl
20、y as a unit between the time of compounding andthe time of packaging or placing in shipping containers.6.1.3 Obtain the sealant portion for testing from the selectedmanufacturers original sealed container in accordance withPractice D 5167. The sample portion added to and heated in themelter shall we
21、igh 800 6 50 g for Types I, II, IV, and 1600 650 g for Type III. Both pots of the melter described in PracticeD 5167 shall be used for Type III.6.2 HeatingHeat the material in accordance with PracticeD 5167.6.2.1 The oil bath in the melter shall be heated to atemperature between the sealants maximum
22、 heating tempera-ture and 42C above the sealants maximum heating tempera-ture. (Never allow the oil temperature to exceed 288C). Addthe sealant to the melter according to the instructions inPractice D 5167.After the sample has been added to the melter,regulate the oil temperature within the listed t
23、emperature limitswhile raising the sealants temperature to manufacturersrecommended maximum heating temperature within the re-quired 1 hour of time, as stated in Practice D 5167. Immedi-ately upon reaching the maximum heating temperature, poursamples for testing, except for Type III which shall be h

27、opening between the blocks will form a curedsealant block that is 25.4 mm 6 0.1 mm wide for Type I and12.7 6 0.1 mm wide for Type II , Type III, and Type IV.7.4.3 After pouring material into the block opening, condi-tion the specimen as in 7.1. After conditioning, remove spacersand trim off excess m
28、aterial with a hot knife being careful notto pull sealant from the block. Condition the test specimens notless than 4 h at the temperature specified in Table 1 for theSpecific Type of Sealant.

Keywords9.1 hot applied; joint sealantAPPENDIX(Nonmandatory Information)X1.X1.1 Some if not all, materials conforming to this specifi-cation may be damaged by heating to too high a temperature,reheating, or by heating for too long a time. Care should beexerc
38、ised to secure equipment for heating and application thatis suitable for the purpose and approved by the manufacturer ofthe material. The material should be heated in a kettle or melterconstructed as a double boiler, with the space between the innerand outer shells filled with oil or other heat tran
39、sfer medium.Thermostatic control for the heat transfer medium shall beprovided and shall have sufficient sensitivity to maintainsealant temperature within the manufacturers specified appli-cation temperature range. Temperature indicating devices shallhave intervals no greater than 5F (2.8C) and shal
40、l becalibrated as required to assure accuracy. The melter shall havea continuous sealant agitation and mixing system to provideuniform viscosity and temperature of material being applied. Ifequipped with an application system to deliver sealant to thepavement, the melter shall incorporate a recircul
41、ation pump orother means of maintaining sealant temperature in the deliverysystem. Sealant that has been damaged due to overheating,reheating or prolonged heating may experience poor adhesion,softening or bleeding, difficult application, or jelling in themelter. Direct heating must not be used. As a
42、 means ofascertaining whether or not the material covered by thisspecification is being or has been damaged in the field as aresult of overheating, reheating, or prolonged heating, flowpanel specimens may be prepared periodically by drawing offsealant directly from the melter-applicator during seali
43、ngoperations and then tested for flow according to the methods oftesting materials covered by this specification. Flow in excessof 3.0 mm for Type II, III, and IV, and 5.0 mm for Type I wouldindicate damage to material caused by improper heatingprocedures.X1.2 Pavement joints in new construction for
44、 application ofmaterial covered by this specification should be dry, clean ofall scale, dirt, dust, curing compound, and other foreign matter.The sidewalls of the joint space to be sealed should then bethoroughly sandblasted, blown clean of loose sand by high-pressure air, and sealed by use of the m
45、elter-applicator de-scribed in X1.1.X1.3 When material covered by this specification is usedfor maintenance or resealing of joints that have containedeither similar or dissimilar sealing material, it is recommendedthat the joint be dry, cleaned thoroughly with a plow, router,wire brush, concrete saw
46、, or other suitable tool or toolsdesigned for the purpose of neatly cleaning pavement joints.Loose material should be blown out. The sidewalls of the jointspace to be sealed should be thoroughly sandblasted, blownfree of loose sand with high-pressure air and then sealed withmaterial by use of the me
47、lter-applicator described in X1.1.X1.4 The use of a backer material or bond breaker in thebottom of the joint to be filled with material covered by thisspecification is recommended to control the depth of thesealant and achieve the desired shape factor, and to support thesealant against indentation
48、and sag. Backup materials and bondbreakers should be compatible with the material. Due to theelevated temperatures of application of material covered bythis specification, care should be exercised in the selection ofthe suitable backer materials. Refer to Specification D 5249 forrecommended backer m
49、aterials.X1.5 Care should be practiced in the application of materialcovered by this specification to avoid overfilling of the jointspace. Joints should be filled in a neat workmanlike mannerfrom18 to14 in. (3 to 6 mm) below the adjacent pavementsurface.D6690073ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.
