How do I choose the correct size of BEJS?

Sizing is a critical component of the process. We want to ensure that the
material will be easy to install in the summer when the joint is closed
down, but will have enough foam and silicone to handle the larger joint
opening in winter. There are a few tools EMSEAL provides to assist with
this:
1. An EMSEAL Checklist that you fill out, send in to EMSEAL, and we will
advise you on the correct size to order.
2. An EMSEAL Field Measurement Card. This is a reusable dry erase
card that can be filled out on the site, a photo taken, and emailed to
EMSEAL for sizing recommendations.
3. An EMSEAL Sizing Chart so that you can go out on the day of install
with a few sizes of BEJS on the truck and determine what size of BEJS
to select based on bridge deck span length, joint opening, and current
temperature.
