(12.7 mm) shall not be subject to a requirement for compression.6. Dimensions and Permissible Variations6.1 The pr
15、eformed strips shall conform to the dimensionsspecified or shown on the plans. Strips of the joint filler that donot conform to the specified dimensions, within the permissiblevariations of116 in. ( +1.6 mm) in thickness,18 in. (63.2 mm)in depth, and14 in. (66.4 mm ) in length, shall be rejected.7.
16、Sampling7.1 Size of SampleEach sample shall consist of sufficientmaterial to provide at least 3 test specimens measuring 2 by 6in. (51 by 152 mm) and at least 1 test specimen measuring 4 by4 in. (102 by 102 mm).7.2 Number of SamplesOne representative sample shallbe selected from each shipment of 100
17、0 ft2(93 m2), or fractionthereof, of each thickness ordered.7.3 Samples shall be packed for transportation in such amanner that there will be no danger of distortion or breakage.8. Test Methods8.1 Significance and Use:8.1.1 The distortion and brittleness tests are used to deter-mine the handling cha
18、racteristic of the material. The waterabsorption and compression tests are used to determine thesuitability of the material as an expansion joint filler.8.2 Procedures:8.2.1 Distortion at 125F (52C)Cut a test specimen 2 by6 in. (51 by 152 mm), substantially flat and straight, with the6-in. (152-mm)
19、dimension parallel to the machine direction ofthe strip. Clamp the specimen between two blocks so that theexpansion joint forms a cantilever of 312-in. (89-mm) length.Place the clamp and joint assembly in a forced-draft ovenmaintained at 125 6 2F (52 6 1.1C), with the specimen ina horizontal positio
20、n, for 2 h. Measure the deflection of thespecimen from the horizontal.8.2.2 BrittlenessCut a test specimen 2 by 6 in. (51 by 152mm) with the 6-in. (152-mm) dimension parallel to themachine direction of the strip. Maintain the specimen at atemperature of 39 to 43F (4 to 6C) in water for at least 2 hp
21、rior to testing. Clamp the specimen between two boards sothat the expansion joint forms a cantilever of 312-in. (89-mm)length and hold in a horizontal position by a suitable rigidsupport. Suspend a spherical cast iron ball, weighing 0.95 lb(0.43 kg) and having a diameter of 178 in. (48 mm), by a cor
22、dtied to an eyelet fastened to the ball. For specimens having athickness of916 in. (14.3 mm) or less, suspend the ball 1 ft (304mm) above the center of the projecting portion of the speci-men. For specimens over 14.3 mm in thickness, suspend theball 2 ft (610 mm) above the specimen. Release the ball
23、 byburning the cord above the eyelet. Other suitable suspensionand release devices may be used.8.2.3 Water AbsorptionCut a test specimen 2 by 6 in. (51by 152 mm) from the joint filler material, in such a manner thatall edges are freshly cut, and weigh. Immerse the specimenhorizontally under 1 in. (2
24、5.4 mm) of distilled or deionizedwater at 73.4 6 3.6F (23 6 2C) for 24 h, remove, and wipeoff the surface water with a slightly dampened cloth. Weigh thespecimen quickly and calculate the gain in weight and expressas weight percent of water absorbed.8.2.4 CompressionTest the joint filler in accordan
25、ce withthe compression test outlined in Methods D545, except makeonly a single application of the load required to compress thespecimen to 50 % of its thickness before test, and do notmeasure the recovery.8.3 Precision and Bias:8.3.1 Precision statement for single operator was calculatedper Practice
26、 C670. Maximum acceptable range of individualmeasurements. No precision statement is necessary for brittle-ness since this property is qualified as an attribute. Precisionstatements are listed in Table 1.8.3.2 Since there is no accepted reference material suitablefor determining the bias in this tes
27、t method, no statement onbias is made.9. Keywords9.1 asphalt; bituminous; construction; expansion; joint; pav-ing; preformedD994 98 (2010)2APPENDIXES(Nonmandatory Information)X1.

29、ion Materials, wasused to develop the single-operator precision statement.X2.2 Windows 95 function categories were used to calcu-late the average (avg) values and the one-sigma (1s) limits.Data was graphed using Windows 95 Chart Wizard.X2.3 Acceptance of individual measurement values wasbased on the
30、 calculated difference of two-sigma (d2s) limits asthe appropriate index of test precision. Maximum acceptancerange of the measurements was calculated per Practice C670,and for a given test the individual results of the measurementswere accepted if the results were within the calculated maxi-mum acc
31、eptable range.X2.4 Single-Operator Precision was calculated per PracticeC670. Results of three (3) specimens were used to calculate theaverage values and the one-sigma limits. From Practice C670,for the average of three (3) measurements, the multiplier is 5.7for the maximum acceptable range of indiv
32、idual measure-ments. The precision statement then for a single-operator iscalculated as follows:Precision Statement 51s!35.7 (X2.1)X2.5 Calculated precision statements for the various prop-erties are given in Table 1.X2.6 Single-Operator Precision for the average compres-sion load values, for each t
