Abstract

Sets out a procedure that gives an approximation of the volatile constituents in cutback bitumen.

Scope

This Standard sets out a procedure that provides a means for separating the bitumen component from the more volatile constituents in cutback bitumen and quantitatively determining those constituents.

NOTES:

1 The residue from distillation may need to be retained for measurement of dynamic viscosity at 60¦C, apparent viscosity at 25¦C and matter insoluble in toluene, and for rolling thin-film oven (RTFO) treatment followed by measurement of ductility at 15¦C.
2 The results of the physical examination of the residue after distillation are not necessarily characteristic of the original bitumen component nor of the residue which may be left at any particular time after the cutback bitumen has been applied.
