These test methods describe procedures for determining specification conformance for hot-applied, field-molded joint and crack sealants and fillers.

1. Scope

1.1 These test methods cover tests for hot-applied types of joint and crack sealants and fillers for portland cement concrete and asphaltic concrete pavements. There are numerous standard material specifications that use these test methods. Refer to the respective standard material specification of interest to determine which of the following test methods to use. For sample melting and concrete block preparation see their respective standard practices.

1.2 The test methods appear in the following sections:

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are provided for information purposes only.

1.4 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 establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
