The homogenized sample of hot-poured asphalt c

10、rack sealant obtained according to ASTM D5167 is tested to determine viscosity after 1 hr 10 minutes at the installation temperature recommended by the manufacturer (T 366) and sealant flow and deformation (TP 126). 3.2. The hot-poured asphalt crack sealant is aged in the vacuum oven (T 367), and th

11、e residue is tested to determine the creep stiffness (S) and average creep rate of the log creep stiffness versus log time relationship at 240 s (T 368), extendibility in direct tension (T 369), and maximum adhesion load (T 370). 3.3. Based on these test results, the hot-poured asphalt crack sealant

12、 is graded according to MP 25, Table 1. 4. SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 4.1. This practice describes the testing required for grading or verifying the SG of a hot-poured asphalt crack sealant according to MP 25, Table 1. 5. ESTIMATED TIME NECESSARY FOR TESTING 5.1. For both testing and verification, if the

13、analysis is started at the beginning of a morning work shift, all testing and analysis should be completed during the afternoon of the next day. This schedule provides the 16 h needed for conditioning of hot-poured asphalt crack sealant material in the vacuum oven. Samples can be aged and analyzed i

14、n parallel, and the productivity of the laboratory thus increased. However, for the purpose of this document, analysis of a single hot-poured asphalt crack sealant will be discussed. 6. TEST PROCEDURE FOR GRADING AN UNKNOWN HOT-POURED ASPHALT CRACK SEALANT 6.1. Prepare samples and test specimens usi

15、ng the procedures specified in the applicable test methods. In the case where the grade of a hot-poured asphalt crack sealant is unknown, approximately 550 g of unaged hot-poured asphalt crack sealant is required to complete the tests with the necessary replicates. 6.2. Homogenize the hot-poured asp

16、halt crack sealant according to ASTM D5167. Homogenize a sufficient amount of hot-poured asphalt crack sealant depending on the type and number of tests to be performed. Note 1Four crack sealant bending b eam rheometer (CSBBR) beam specimens requiring Vacuum Oven Aged (VOA) residue are needed at eac

17、h test temperature. In addition, at least six crack sealant direct tension (CSDT) specimens and six crack sealant adhesion test (CSAT) specimens requiring VOA residue will also be needed at each test temperature. A minimum of two test temperatures will be required. This testing will utilize approxim

18、ately 300 g of homogenized hot-poured asphalt crack sealant material. 2017 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved. Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-4e PP 85-3 AASHTO 6.3. Determine the viscosity of the homogenized hot-poured aspha

19、lt crack sealant at installation temperature using T 366. The viscosity shall be higher than 1.0 Pa.s and must not exceed 3.5 Pa.s to meet the requirements of MP 25. Note 2The installation temperature s hould be in accordance with the manufacturers recommendation for each hot-poured asphalt crack se

20、alant type. 6.4. If the homogenized hot-poured asphalt crack sealant does not meet MP 25 requirements for the test in Section 6.3, the hot-poured asphalt crack sealant will not satisfy the specification for any SG, and no further testing is required. 6.5. Perform the DSR test (TP 126) on the homogen

21、ized hot-poured asphalt crack sealant beginning at 64C, and increase or decrease the test temperature at 6.0C increments until a value for flow coefficient 4 kPa.s and a value for shear thinning 0.7 is obtained. The highest test temperature where the value for flow coefficient 4 kPa.s and a value fo

22、r shear thinning 0.7 are obtained determines the starting high temperature SG grade. Note 3For example, if flow coefficient is 3.4 kPa.s and shear thinning is 0.63 at 70C and flow coefficient is 4.1 kPa.s and shear thinning is 0.84 at 64C, the starting grade of the hot-poured asphalt crack sealant i

23、s SG 64-xx. 6.6. Age a sufficient quantity of homogenized hot-poured asphalt crack sealant material in the vacuum oven (T 367). Quantities can be estimated based on the number of test samples needed as indicated in Note 1. Note 4Testing for Sections 6.1 through 6.6 can be completed during t he first

24、 day of testing. This schedule allows further testing to begin on the second day after VOA is completed. 6.7. At the conclusion of the VOA procedure (T 368), including aging and combining the hot-poured asphalt crack sealant residue, prepare four CSBBR specimens for each test temperature according t

25、o TP 86. Retain sufficient residue to prepare at least six CSDT specimens or six CSAT specimens for each test temperature. 6.8. Perform the CSBBR test (T 368) on the VOA hot-poured asphalt crack sealant residue beginning at 22C, and increase or decrease the test temperature at 6.0C increments until

26、a value for creep stiffness (S) 25 MPa at 240 seconds and a value for average creep rate 0.31 is obtained. The lowest test temperature where the value for creep stiffness (S) 25 MPa and a value for average creep rate 0.31 determines the initial low temperature for SG grade. Test fresh CSBBR specimen

27、s at each temperature. 6.9. Perform the CSDT test (T 369) on the VOA hot-poured asphalt crack sealant residue beginning at the initial low temperature SG grade determined by CSBBR test (T 368). The extendibility at the test temperature should meet the requirements of MP 25. If the extendibility is l

28、ower than the threshold, then increase the temperature by 6.0C and test the VOA hot-poured asphalt crack sealant residue again using the CSDT test. Continue increasing temperature increments until the extendibility is equal to or higher than the threshold defined by MP 25. 6.10. Perform the CSAT tes

29、t (T 370) on the VOA hot-poured asphalt crack sealant residue beginning at the low temperature SG grade determined by CSBBR test (T 368). Continue increasing temperature increments until the adhesion load is equal to or higher than the threshold defined by MP 25. If the adhesion load criteria is not

30、 satisfied the hot-poured asphalt crack sealant will fail to satisfy the requirements of the low temperature grade. 6.11. Using the results of Section 6.8 through 6.10, determine the final sealant grade (SG) of the hot-poured asphalt crack sealant. 2017 by the American Association of State Highway a

TEST PROCEDURE FOR VERIFYING THE NOMINAL GRADE OF A HOT-POURED ASPHALT CRACK SEALANT 7.1. Prepare samples and test specimens using the procedures specified in the applicable test met

32、hods. In the case where the grade of the hot-poured asphalt crack sealant is being verified, approximately 300 g of unaged hot-poured asphalt crack sealant material is required to complete the tests with the necessary replicates. 7.2. Homogenize hot-poured asphalt crack sealant according to ASTM D51

33、67. Homogenize a sufficient amount of hot-poured asphalt crack sealant depending on the type and number of tests to be performed. Note 5Four CSBBR beam specimens requiri ng VOA residue are needed at each test temperature. In addition, at least six direct tension (CSDT) specimens and six adhesion tes

34、t (CSAT) specimens requiring VOA residue will also be needed at each test temperature. Only one test temperature will be required. This testing will utilize approximately 150 g of homogenized hot-poured asphalt crack sealant material. 7.3. Determine the viscosity of the homogenized hot-poured asphal

35、t crack sealant at installation temperature using T 366. The viscosity should be higher than 1.0 Pa.s and must not exceed 3.5 Pa.s to meet the requirements of MP 25. Note 6The installation temperature s hould be in accordance with the manufacturers recommendation for each hot-poured asphalt crack se

36、alant type. 7.4. If the homogenized hot-poured asphalt crack sealant does not meet MP 25 requirements for the test in Section 7.3, the hot-poured asphalt crack sealant will not satisfy the specification for any SG, and no further testing is required. 7.5. Perform the DSR test (TP 126) on the homogen

37、ized hot-poured asphalt crack sealant at the test temperature indicated by the high-temperature grade designation. For example, test a SG 64-28 hot-poured asphalt crack sealant at 64C. The value for flow coefficient must be 4 kPa.s and a value for shear thinning must be 0.7 to meet the requirements

38、of MP 25. Note 7This step verifies the startin g SG grade. For example, if a SG 58-34 is tested at 58C and the value for flow coefficient 4 kPa.s and a value for shear thinning 0.7, the high-temperature grade designation for the hot-poured asphalt crack sealant is verified to be SG 58-xx. Note 8If t

39、he hot-poured asphalt crack s ealant fails to meet the requirement of MP 25, Table 1 for the grade designated, it may be treated as a hot-poured asphalt crack sealant of unknown grade and tested according to Section 6, or the testing may be stopped because the grade was not verified. 7.6. Age a suff

40、icient quantity of homogenized hot-poured asphalt crack sealant material in the vacuum oven (T 367). Note 9Four CSBBR beam specimens requiri ng VOA residue are needed. In addition, six CSDT and six CSAT samples will also be needed requiring about 60 g of VOA hot-poured asphalt crack sealant residue.

41、 Note 10Complete Sections 7.1 through 7.6 during the first day of testing. This schedule will allow further testing to begin on the second day after VOA aging is completed. 7.7. At the conclusion of the VOA procedure (T 367), including aging and combining the hot-poured asphalt crack sealant residue

42、, prepare four CSBBR specimens according to T 368. Retain sufficient VOA residue to prepare at least six CSDT specimens or six CSAT specimens. 7.8. Test four CSBBR specimens according to T 368 at the test temperature specified in Table 1 of MP 25 for the high-temperature and low-temperature grading

Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-4e PP 85-5 AASHTO asphalt crack sealant being verified. For example, test a SG 64-28 hot-poured asphalt crack sealant at 2

44、2C. The value for average creep rate must be 0.31 and a value for creep stiffness (S) at 240 s must be 25 to meet the requirements of MP 25. Certain hot-poured asphalt crack sealants may satisfy the BBR average creep rate requirement at a substantially lower temperature than they satisfy the BBR sti

45、ffness requirement (Note 7). 7.9. Test six CSDT specimens according to T 369 at the test temperature specified in Table 1 of MP 25 for the high-temperature and low-temperature grading designation of the hot-poured asphalt crack sealant being verified. For example, test a SG 64-28 hot-poured asphalt

46、crack sealant at 22C. The extendibility at the test temperature should meet the requirements of MP 25. The extendibility may be lower than the threshold (Note 7). 7.10. Test six CSAT specimens according to T 370 at the test temperature specified in Table 1 of MP 25 for the high-temperature and low-t

47、emperature grading designation of the hot-poured asphalt crack sealant being verified. For example, test a SG 64-28 hot-poured asphalt crack sealant at 22C. The adhesion load at the test temperature should meet the requirements of MP 25. If the adhesion load criteria is not satisfied the asphalt cra

48、ck sealant will fail to satisfy the requirements of the low temperature grade. 8. REPORT 8.1. If the grade of a hot-poured asphalt crack sealant tested is determined, report the results of all tests performed and the high-temperature grading designation determined, followed by the low-temperature de
