AASHTO T 333-07 (2017) PDF Download

The AASHTO T 333-07 (2017) standard provides guidelines for measuring the linear coefficient of shrinkage on cure of adhesive systems. The standard outlines the procedure for evaluating the dimensional changes occurring in adhesive systems as they cure. This measurement is important as it provides information about the stability and reliability of the adhesive system.

The standard specifies the equipment and materials required for performing the test, including a suitable test specimen, a curing device, and a measuring device. It also details the preparation of the test specimen, including the proper application of the adhesive system.

During the test, the adhesive system is cured under controlled conditions, and the linear coefficient of shrinkage is then determined by measuring the dimensional changes of the specimen using the specified measuring device. The standard provides guidelines for recording and reporting the results of the test.
