(Specification)Standard Specification for Joint and Crack Sealants, Hot Applied, for Concrete and Asphalt Pavements
Standard Specification for Joint and Crack Sealants, Hot Applied, for Concrete and Asphalt Pavements
ABSTRACT
This specification covers four types of joint and crack sealants of the hot applied type intended for use in sealing joints and cracks in Portland cement concrete and asphaltic concrete pavements. However, this specification does not address the properties required of sealants for use in areas of Portland cement concrete or asphaltic pavement that are subject to jet fuel or other fuel spillage such as vehicle and/or aircraft refuel and maintenance areas. The sealants shall be sampled and tested appropriately to examine their conformance with specified values of the following requirements: cone penetration; softening point; non-immersed and water-immersed bond properties; oven aged resilience; and asphalt compability.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers joint and crack sealants of the hot applied type intended for use in sealing joints and cracks in Portland Cement Concrete and Asphaltic Concrete Pavements.
1.2 This specification does not purport to cover the properties required of sealants for use in areas of Portland Cement concrete or asphaltic pavement subject to jet fuel or other fuel spillage such as vehicle and/or aircraft refuel and maintenance areas.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are the standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.

3. General Requirements
3.1 The sealant shall be composed of a mixture of materials that will form a resilient and adhesive compound capable of
effectively sealing joints and cracks in concrete and asphaltic pavements against the infiltration of moisture and foreign material
throughout repeated cycles of expansion and contraction with temperature changes, and that will not, at ambient temperatures, flow
from the joint or be picked up by vehicle tires. The material shall be capable of being brought to a uniform pouring consistency
suitable for completely filling the joints without inclusion of large air holes or discontinuities and without damage to the material.
It shall remain relatively unchanged in application characteristics for at least 6 h at the recommended application temperature in
the field.
4. Classification
4.1 Type I—A joint and crack sealant capable of maintaining an effective seal in moderate climates. The material is tested for
low temperature performance at –18°C using 50 % extension.
4.2 Type II—A joint and crack sealant capable of maintaining an effective seal in most climates. Material is tested for low
temperature performance at –29°C using 50 % extension.
4.3 Type III—A joint and crack sealant capable of maintaining an effective seal in most climates. Material is tested for low
temperature performance at –29°C using 50 % extension. Special tests are included (formerly Federal Spec SS-S-1401C).
4.4 Type IV—A joint and crack sealant capable of maintaining an effective seal in climates experiencing very cold temperatures.
Material is tested for low temperature performance at –29°C using 200 % extension.

5. Physical Requirements
5.1 Maximum Heating Temperature—The maximum heating temperature is the highest temperature to which a sealant can be
heated, and still conform to all the requirements specified herein. For purposes of testing as specified hereinafter, the application
temperature shall be the same as the maximum heating temperature. The maximum heating temperature shall be set forth by the
manufacturer, shall be shown on all containers and shall be provided to the testing agency before any laboratory tests are begun.
5.2 The sealant shall conform to the requirements prescribed in Table 1.
6. Sampling and Heating
6.1 Sampling:
6.1.1 Samples may be taken at the plant or warehouse prior to delivery or at the time of delivery, at the option of the purchaser.
If sampling is done prior to shipment, the inspector representing the purchaser shall have free access to the material to be sampled.
The inspector shall be afforded all reasonable facilities for inspection and sampling which shall be conducted so as not to interfere
unnecessarily with the operation of the works.
6.1.2 Samples shall consist of one of the manufacturer’s original sealed containers selected at random from the lot or batch of
finished material. A batch or lot
