ASTM D3407-78(1994)e1

Standard Test Methods for Joint Sealants, Hot-Poured, for Concrete and Asphalt Pavements (Withdrawn 1996)

SCOPE
1.1 These test methods cover the following tests for bituminous hot-poured types of joint sealants for portland cement concrete and asphaltic concrete pavements: cone penetration, flow, bond at low temperatures, resilience, asphalt compatibility, and prolonged heating.  
1.2 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 limitations prior to use.
