View source for 1039.4 Laboratory Testing Guidelines for Sec 1039

This article establishes procedures for Laboratory testing of epoxy resins.  Refer to [http://www.modot.org/business/standards_and_specs/SpecbookEPG.pdf#page=14 Sec 1039] for MODOT's specifications.

==1039.4.1 Sample Preparation==
These materials are furnished as multiple-component systems. The mixing ratio of components must be the same as that used to obtain Manufacturer and Brand Name Approval.

==1039.4.2 Procedure==

===1039.4.2.1 Type II and III Epoxy===

Test components by obtaining an Infrared Spectrum.

Test the mixed material according to the following:

:Viscosity, Brookfield viscometer as set forth in ASTM D 2393.

:Gel Time, ASTM C 881

Test the mixed and cured material according to the following:

:Bond Strength, ASTM C 882

:Tensile Strength and Elongation at Break, ASTM D 638

===1039.4.2.2 Bonding Agents for Dowels===

Determine the properties of bonding agents for dowels according to [[106.3.2.49 TM-49, Pull-Out Tests on Chemical Bonding Agents|MoDOT Test Method T49]].

Run an Infrared Spectrum on each component.

Record original test data and calculations in Laboratory workbooks.

===1039.4.2.3 Bonding Agents for Resin Anchor Systems===

Determine the properties of bonding agents for resin anchor systems according to ASTM C 881. Perform the pull test in accordance with [[106.3.2.74 TM-74, Pullout Tests on Epoxy Bonding Agents for Resin Anchor Systems|MoDOT Test Method T74]].

Run an Infrared Spectrum on each component.

Record original test data and calculations in Laboratory workbooks.

===1039.4.2.4 Sand for Epoxy Mortar===

Test sand for epoxy mortar for compliance with [http://www.modot.org/business/standards_and_specs/SpecbookEPG.pdf#page=14 Sec 1039]. Determine the moisture content in a laboratory oven.

Record original test data and calculations in Laboratory workbooks.
