22、stitution.7. Precautions7.1 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.7.2 Maximum Heating TemperatureIt is imperative thatthe manufacturers ma
23、ximum 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 Joint/crack sealants and fillers are manufactured from av
24、ariety 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 testing in accordance with its respective standard materi
25、alspecification.8.1.2 Solid MaterialsFor sealants or fillers which are solidat 23 6 2C (73.4 6 3.6F), cut a complete vertical sectionfrom the material block as illustrated in Fig. 4, in order toobtain a uniform representative sample and supply enoughproduct to pour all specimens. Also, if present, r
26、emovecontainer 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 verticalsection in the same pot and melt.FIG. 2 Detailed Drawing
27、 of Joint Sealant Laboratory Melting UnitD5167 1338.1.3 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 m
28、aterial specification for the required samplesize.8.2 Heating Procedure:8.2.1 Heat the oil bath to a temperature that will bring thematerial to the specified temperature within one hour. 8 to 15C(14 27F) above the maximum heating temperature of thematerial to be tested has been found to work satisfa
29、ctorily forthe oil bath temperature (see 4.1 and 6.1.7) (refer to therespective material specification for the maximum oil bathtemperature).8.2.2 Sample AdditionThe sample pot in the melting unitshall be clean and free of any residue from previous heatedsealants or fillers as well as cleaning materi

31、n,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 melted in one pot, additionalvertical samples must be obtained and melted to meet thecorrect sample size. All of the 50 g segments from on

34、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 additional pot shall be
35、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 one h from the time th
36、e 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 specified temperature, check
37、 its temperature atmaximum 15 min intervals using a Type K thermocouple withthe calibration verifed in accordance with 6.1.7 to ensureconformance with specified temperature requirements. Stop themechanical stirrer when measuring temperatures. If materialtemperatures exceed the maximum heating temper
38、ature or dropbelow the minimum application temperature after the pouringtemperature has been reached, discard the sample and redo theheating. Maintain appropriate records of times and tempera-tures to verify conformance with specification requirements.8.2.4.2 When prolonged heating is required (see
39、Note 3), thesample temperature shall be monitored at intervals not toexceed 30 min to verify conformance to temperature require-ments. If material temperatures exceed the maximum heatingtemperature or drop below the minimum application tempera-ture after the pouring temperature has been reached, dis
40、card thesample and redo the heating. Maintain appropriate records oftimes and temperatures to verify conformance with specifica-tion requirements.NOTE 3Sometimes prolonged heating is required to verify that thematerial can meet all the requirements of the specification when prolongedheating situatio
41、ns happen in the field.9. Sample Pouring9.1 When using a melter with a bottom discharge, discardapproximately the first 50 g of material 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 s
42、ample pot, stopthe mechanical stirring device and then remove within onemin. Immediately remove the sample pot from the melter andclean the oil residue from the outer pot surface. Pour allFIG. 4 Typical Sealant Units (as supplied in manufacturers original container)D5167 135required specimens within
43、 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 standard.
