This test method applies to hot-poured asphalt crack sealant used in the construction and maintenance of roadways as specified in AASHTO M 338 and R 116. This test method is used to determine the resistance of hot-poured asphalt crack sealant to tracking and deformation at summer temperatures. This test method covers the determination of flow and shear thinning propensity in hot-poured asphalt crack sealant with the use of a dynamic shear rheometer and by means of creep-recovery tests. This standard was formerly designated as provisional method of test TP 126.
