15、 Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 (bottom discharge type) andFig. 3 (removable can type) for typical laboratory melters. Alsosee Note 1.6.2 The thermometers used in this melting operation shallmeet the requirements of Specification E 1 and be checked forcalibration using Test Method E 77.NOTE 1The removable can ty
16、pe melter as shown in Fig. 3 is verysimilar in design to the melter shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Fig. 3s pots aredesigned to be removed so the melted material can be poured. Extra caremust be taken when using this type of melter. Check the manufacturersrecommended safety procedures before use.7. Prec
17、autions7.1 Prior to beginning sampling and heating of sealants orfillers, a Material Safety Data Sheet must be obtained from thesealant or filler manufacturer so that proper safe handlingtechniques will be used.FIG. 1 Detailed Drawing of Joint Sealant Laboratory Melting UnitD51670327.2 Maximum Heati
18、ng TemperatureIt is imperative thatthe manufacturers maximum heating temperatures be obtainedfor the material to be evaluated. The temperature of thematerial must not exceed the maximum heating temperature.7.3 The laboratory melter unit should be located under anexhaust hood to disperse fumes.7.4 Jo
19、int/crack sealants and fillers are manufactured from avariety of materials. To avoid compatibility problems, clean themelter so that it is free of all cleaning solvents and previouslymelted material.8. Procedure8.1 Sample Preparation:8.1.1 Obtain the sample which is delivered to the laboratoryfor te
20、sting in accordance with its respective standard materialspecification.8.1.2 Solid MaterialsFor sealants or fillers which aresolid at 23 6 2C (73.4 6 3.6F), cut a complete verticalsection from the material block as illustrated in Fig. 4, in orderto obtain a uniform representative sample and supply e
21、noughproduct to pour all specimens. Also, if present, removecontainer liner by cutting it away. Consult the respectivematerial specification for the required sample size and methodof cutting. Cut the entire vertical section into segments ofapproximately 50 g and place all segments from one verticals
22、ection in the same pot and melt.8.1.3 Liquid MaterialsFor sealants which are liquid at 236 2C (73.4 6 3.6F), stir the sealant to be sampled thor-oughly by hand or mechanically using a suitable stirrer untilthe material consistency is uniform and homogeneous. Consultthe respective material specificat
23、ion for the required samplesize.8.2 Heating Procedure:8.2.1 Heat the oil bath to approximately 8 to 10C above themaximum heating temperature of the material to be tested (see4.1 and 6.2) (refer to the respective material specification forthe maximum oil bath temperature).8.2.2 Sample AdditionThe sam
24、ple pot in the melting unitshall be clean and free of any residue from previous heatedsealants or fillers as well as cleaning materials.8.2.2.1 Solid MaterialsAdd four 50 6 10 g portions of thesealant or filler into the melting units pot and, with the agitatorrunning, bring the material to a pouring
25、 consistency not toexceed the manufacturers maximum heating temperature. Addthe remaining segments at the rate of one 50 g segment/min,stopping the agitator (for not more than 10 s) while making theaddition. If the sample size required by the respective materialspecification is too large to be melte
26、d in one pot, additionalFIG. 2 Detailed Drawing of Joint Sealant Laboratory Melting UnitD5167033vertical samples must be obtained and melted to meet thecorrect sample size. All of the 50 g segments from one verticalsection must be placed in the same pot and melted as part of thetest. Keep the pot(s)
27、 covered at all times and the agitatorrunning, except when adding segments of sealant or filler.8.2.2.2 Liquid MaterialsImmediately after stirring, addthe entire sample portion at one time. If the sample sizerequired by the respective material specification is too large tobe melted in one pot, an ad
28、ditional pot shall be used. Beginmechanical stirring immediately after the sealant is added tothe pot(s).8.2.3 After the solid segments or liquid is added to themelter, regulate the oil bath temperature to bring the sample tothe temperature specified in the respective material specifica-tion within
29、one h from the time the first portion of the materialwas added to the melter. Then, if required, continue heating forthe time and at the temperature required in the respectivematerial specification.8.2.4 Temperature Monitoring:8.2.4.1 When material is to be poured immediately uponreaching the specif
30、ied temperature, check its temperature atmaximum 15 min intervals using an ASTM 2F or 2C thermom-eter to ensure conformance with specified temperature require-ments. Stop the mechanical stirrer when measuring tempera-tures. If material temperatures exceed the maximum heatingtemperature or drop below
31、 the minimum application tempera-ture after the pouring temperature has been reached, discard thesample and redo the heating. Maintain appropriate records oftimes and temperatures to verify conformance with specifica-tion requirements.8.2.4.2 When prolonged heating is required (see Note 2), thesampl

34、If material temperatures exceed the maximum heatingtemperature or drop below the minimum application tempera-ture after the pouring temperature has been reached, discard thesample and redo the heating.

35、quirements.NOTE 2Sometimes prolonged heating is required to verify that thematerial can meet all the requirements of the specification when prolongedheating situations happen in the field.9. Sample Pouring9.1 When using a melter with a bottom discharge, discardapproximately the first 50 g of materia
36、l and then pour all testspecimens as required directly from the melter within a periodof 10 min while continuing agitation.9.2 When using a melter with a removable sample pot, stopthe mechanical stirring device and then remove within onemin. Immediately remove the sample pot from the melter andclean
37、 the oil residue from the outer pot surface. Pour allrequired specimens within 2 min following removal of thesample pot from the melter to minimize temperature loss.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this
