ROUTINE AND JOB SITE QUALITY ASSURANCE TESTING 3.1. This testing is recommended to establish that the sealer material supplied to a job site or ordere

17、d for use by maintenance forces is the same material and has the same performance as the material that was tested in the prequalification testing conducted according to TP 96. This testing includes sealer material characterization tests and selected performance tests. 3.2. Sealer SamplingSample a mi

18、nimum of 1 qt of material for each manufacturing lot supplied. It is preferred to sample complete units of material; however, small samples of large units are allowed. Ensure that the sample container is clean, has an airtight seal, and is nonreactive with the sealer. Thoroughly mix each component p

19、rior to sampling. 3.3. Material Characterization Tests for Job Site QAMaterial characterization tests are used to collect data on the basic characteristics of the material, including composition, solids content, and specific gravity. These tests are primarily used for comparison of materials sampled

Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-4c PP 73-3 AASHTO and job site quality assurance with prequalified materials. These tests should be performed on samples of the batch or

21、 batches of sealer material that are supplied for project use. The test results should be compared to the data on file from the prequalification testing. 3.3.1. Spectroanalysis (FTIR)Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis provides a chemical fingerprint of a material system that can be used to c

22、ompare one material to another and to compare batches of a particular material. Analysis can be carried out by transmission or by internal reflection (usually with an attenuated total reflectance accessory). Analyses of the same material may not be comparable when data is collected in different mode

23、s (i.e., transmission vs. reflectance) or when different sample preparation techniques are used. When comparing spectra, it is important to ensure that data was collected under the same conditions, including sample preparation and instrument conditions. Because comparative analyses need to be carrie

24、d out with the same sample preparation techniques, review and repeat the processes used for FTIR during the prequalification testing. Use ASTM E1252 for testing in transmission. Use ASTM E573 for testing by reflectance (attenuated total reflectance or other method). Compare the results to the testin

25、g performed during the prequalification and confirm a favorable match as deemed by the specifier. 3.3.2. Gas Chromatography (GC)Gas chromatography (GC) can be used in addition to or in combination with FTIR as a method for chemical analysis of sealer materials. The procedure used to analyze the seal

26、er by GC will depend on the instrument, column type, and sealer being analyzed. The results will be affected by the instrument and run parameters, such as choice of stationary phase, carrier gas, and carrier gas flow rate. Once a procedure is developed (carrier gas, carrier gas flow rate, stationary

27、 phase, etc.) the procedure should be followed for each additional analysis, to provide data suitable for comparison. Refer to ASTM E355 for utilizing gas chromatography. Review and repeat the processes used for GC during the prequalification testing. For each material type, define a suitable set of

28、 operating parameters. These parameters include: stationary phase, injector, detector, carrier gas, carrier gas flow rate, column temperature, run time, injection volume, and other applicable parameters. Obtain and file the dated chromatogram and any other information (component identification or qu

29、antification) provided. Document the collection conditions and details of sample preparation. Compare the results to the testing performed during the prequalification and confirm a favorable match as deemed by the specifier. 3.3.3. Solids ContentMeasuring solids content of sealer materials is useful

30、 to monitor the uniformity of the material from lot to lot and to ensure that the materials are the same as those that were tested in the prequalification approval testing. Unlike spectroanalysis, which gives a qualitative spectrum, solids content measurements provide a quantitative measurement of n

31、onvolatile content. Fillers or pigments will be measured in solids content measurements, and changes in the type (density) or concentration of fillers or pigment can lead to different solids content measurements. Changes in solvent may not be apparent in solids content measurements. This measurement

32、 is used for quality control purposes and also to calculate the weight of sealer applied to the test samples. For silanes, siloxanes, or silane/siloxane blends, test using ASTM D5095. For other types of sealers, test using ASTM D2369. 3.3.4. Specific GravityChanges in solvent or solids concentration

33、 will affect specific gravity. Specific gravity provides a quantitative method of evaluating changes in a material from batch to batch. The method listed is suitable for both solvent-based and water-based systems. Test the sealer per ASTM D891, Method A or Method B. 3.3.5. ReportingReporting shall i

Material Performance Testing for Job Site QA TestingScreening Performance Tests for Water Vapor Transmission, Saltwater Absorption, and Depth of Sealer Penetration 3.4.1. Purpose of Performance TestingSeveral performance tests are recommended to ensure that

38、formulation or raw material changes do not adversely affect the performance of sealers. These tests are recommended for job site quality control and can be used whenever sealers are ordered. The test frequency can be limited to at least one test per year for each material, if test costs become prohi

39、bitive or time is unavailable. Tests for water vapor transmission, saltwater absorption, and depth of penetration or coating thickness are recommended. 3.4.2. Testing and Sample PreparationTest sealer material in accordance with the following prequalification test sections of TP 96: Section 5.3.3, M
