These test methods describe procedures for determining specification conformance for hot-applied, field-molded joint and crack sealants and fillers.

1.1 These test methods cover tests for hot-applied types of joint and crack sealants and fillers for portland cement concrete and asphaltic concrete pavements. There are numerous standard material specifications that use these test methods. Refer to the respective standard material specification of interest to determine which of the following test methods to use. For sample melting and concrete block preparation see their respective standard practices.
