Definition: 3.1.1. hot-poured asphalt crack sealantpolymer- or rubber-modified asphalt binder most often formulated with a mineral filler. Note 1

9、Based on the references, hot-poured asphalt crack sealant is typically applied at a temperature of 160C or above. 4. SUMMARY OF METHOD 4.1. Hot-poured asphalt crack sealant material is placed in a stainless steel pan and aged at 115C for 16 h under a vacuum of 75.9 cmHg. 5. SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 5.1.

10、 This procedure is designed to simulate the aging and weathering of hot-poured asphalt crack sealant. 5.2. Hot-poured asphalt crack sealant material aged with this procedure is best used to evaluate sub-zero characteristics. 5.3. For hot-poured asphalt crack sealant materials with different asphalt

11、binder sources, polymer grades, and filler types and content, there is no unique correlation between the accelerated conditions and the time of in-service weathering. The accelerated aging leads to hot-poured asphalt crack sealant rheology typical of sealants weathered 1 to 10 years in the field. 5.

12、4. Hot-poured asphalt crack sealant must be remixed before being aged by this method. 6. APPARATUS 6.1. Vacuum OvenOven with a vacuum valve, a bleed valve, and a pressure gauge in centimeters of mercury (cmHg). The oven must be capable of maintaining a vacuum of 75.9 2 cmHg and a uniform temperature

13、 of 115 1C. Refer to ASTM E145 to verify temperature uniformity. The oven should be of a size sufficient to accommodate a minimum of eight sample pans of 6 in. diameter on two shelves. 6.2. Vacuum PumpA one- or two-stage mechanical pump capable of achieving a vacuum of 99.9 percent or better in 10 m

14、in or less. (See Note 2.) Note 2At sea level, the achievable vacuum is 76 cmHg. See the Appendix for the effect of elevation on the achievable vacuum reading. 6.3. Laboratory OvenCalibrated Type IIA oven specified in ASTM E145. This oven can produce and maintain a temperature of 180 0.5C. 6.4. Stain

15、less Steel PansPans of sufficient dimensions for containing 35 g of melted sealant. (See Note 3.)

21、10 minutes. Note 5At the same time, samples can be poured for other tests, including the viscosity test (T 366), the low-temperature tests (T 368 and T 369), and the adhesion test (T 370). 2017 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.

The vacuum reading on the oven gauge depends on the atmospheric pressure outside the oven, which depends on e

35、levation (excluding the effect of weather on pressure). The maximum achievable vacuum reading (P) at an elevation h is given by P(h) = P0exp(mgh/kT) (X1.1) where: P0 = the pressure at sea level; m = the average molar mass of dry air; g = the acceleration due to gravity; k = the Boltzmann constant; a

36、nd T = the temperature in Kelvin. X1.2. Considering a laboratory temperature of 22C and vacuum readings in centimeters of mercury, Equation X1.1 can be simplified to P(h) = 76 exp(hc) (X1.2) 2017 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.
