Designation:D516713(Reapproved 2018)Standard Practice forMelting of Hot-Applied Joint and Crack Sealant and Filler forEvaluation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5167;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice establishes the procedure for melting orheating,or both,of hot-applied joint and crack sealants andfillers in preparation for the making of test specimens used inthe laboratory evaluations of the sealants and fillers.Refer tothe specific standard material specification for samplingrequirements,test sample quantity,temperatures and times formelting and heating,and the number of specimens required fortesting.1.2 This practice is applicable to the hot-applied joint andcrack sealants and fillers used in both portland cement andasphaltic-concrete pavements.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith the standard.1.4 WarningMercury has been designated by the EPAand many state agencies as a hazardous material that can causecentral nervous system,kidney,and liver damage.Mercury,orits vapor,may be hazardous to health and corrosive tomaterials.Caution should be taken when handling mercury andmercury-containing products.See the applicable product Ma-terial Safety Data Sheet(MSDS)for details and EPAswebsitehttp:/www.epa.gov/mercury/faq.htmfor addi-tional information.Users should be aware that selling mercuryand/or mercury-containing products into your state may beprohibited by state law.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.For specific precautions,see Section 7.1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D5535 Terminology Relating to Formed-in-Place Sealantsfor Joints and Cracks in Pavements(Withdrawn 2009)3E1 Specification for ASTM Liquid-in-Glass ThermometersE220 Test Method for Calibration of Thermocouples ByComparison TechniquesE171/E171M Practice for Conditioning and Testing FlexibleBarrier Packaging3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsRefer to Terminology D5535 for defini-tions of the following terms used in this practice:maximumheating temperature,minimum application temperature.4.Significance and Use4.1 Itisintendedthatthispracticebeusedbymanufacturers,users,and testing agencies.The use of thispractice establishes a uniform procedure for the melting orheating of hot-applied sealants and fillers.It is not intended toestablish test procedures or conditions of test which areassociated with each of the joint sealants and fillers.5.Standard Conditions5.1 The laboratory atmospheric conditions,hereinafter re-ferred to as standard conditions,shall be as detailed in PracticeE171/E171M,23 6 2 C(73.4 6 3.6 F)and 50%relativehumidity 610%.The material shall be conditioned for 24 h atstandard conditions before melting or heating.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D04 on Road andPaving Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D04.33 onFormed In-Place Sealants for Joints and Cracks in Pavements.Current edition approved Oct.1,2018.Published October 2018.Originallyapproved in 1991.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as D5167 13.DOI:10.1520/D5167-13R18.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 6.Apparatus6.1 Laboratory Melter:6.1.1 The equipment for melting of the joint sealant or fillershall be an oi
