3、une 2017) 1. SCOPE 1.1. The direct adhesion test is used to determine the adhesion strength of hot-poured asphalt crack sealant at the application temperature as specified in MP 25 and PP 85. 1.2. The adhesion test is a test of fracture. The object of the test is to apply tensile forces to the inter

4、face between sealant and aluminum end pieces. Sealant is confined between two half-cylindrical aluminum end pieces. The applied force and displacement can be recorded as functions of time. Energy required to break the bond can be calculated by measuring the area under the load-displacement curve. Th

5、is energy can be considered a measure of bonding. In addition, the maximum force to failure can be reported as adhesion strength. 1.3. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to estab

6、lish and follow appropriate health and safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2. REFERENCED DOCUMENTS 2.1.

PREPARATION OF SAMPLES AND TEST SPECIMENS 10.1. All hot-poured asphalt crack sealants to be tested must undergo accelerated aging i

18、n accordance with T 367. It is recommended that a minimum of 70 g of hot-poured asphalt crack sealant be prepared for a set of tests. 10.2. Once aged, hot-poured asphalt crack sealant should be molded, cooled, and stored for later use. To store the sealant, it is recommended that a can or plastic-li

19、ned box be used as a container. The mold must be of sufficient size that the sealant depth is no greater than 100 mm to allow for rapid cooling. 10.3. Adjust the ovens temperature to recommended pouring temperature for the sealant being tested. 10.4. Turn on the DTT machine, load the program, and co
