ASTM D3405-97

Standard Specification for Joint Sealants, Hot-Applied, for Concrete and Asphalt Pavements (Withdrawn 2002)

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers joint sealants of the hot-poured type intended for use in sealing joints and cracks in portland cement concrete and asphaltic concrete pavements.
1.2 This standard does not purport to cover the properties required of sealants for use in areas of portland cement concrete pavement subject to jet fuel or other fuel spillage, such as aircraft refueling and maintenance areas.  
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are the standard.
