1、Standard Method of Test for Spot Test of Asphaltic Materials AASHTO Designation: T 102-09 (2013) American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials 444 North Capitol Street N.W., Suite 249 Washington, D.C. 20001 TS-2b T 102-1 AASHTO Standard Method of Test for Spot Test of Asphaltic

2、Materials AASHTO Designation: T 102-09 (2013) 1. SCOPE 1.1. This method of test is applicable only to asphaltic products derived from petroleum and should not be applied to natural asphalts containing nonbituminous matter insoluble in xylene. 1.2. Materials, which by use of standard solvent are clas

3、sed as positive, may be further tested to determine their degree of positiveness by means of their “xylene equivalent.” The xylene equivalent shall be the lowest percentage by volume of xylene in a solvent composed of xylene and standard naphtha or xylene and normal heptane, as specified, that produ

4、ces a “negative spot” for the material in question. These shall be known as the “naphtha-xylene equivalent” and “heptane-xylene equivalent,” respectively. The percentage of xylene in the solvents shall be stated in even 5.0 percent increments. When neither xylene equivalent is specified, the standar

5、d naphtha only shall be used as the solvent. 1.3. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. 1.4. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropria

6、te safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2. REFERENCED DOCUMENTS 2.1.

A “positive” result indicates that an asphaltic material has been overheated. A “negative” result indicates that the materials have not

10、 been overheated. 3.2. The spot test has been used as an indicator of the compatibility of the components of an asphalt binder, with a negative spot indicating good compatibility and a positive spot indicating poor compatibility. 3.3. The spot test is an optional test for asphaltic materials as spec

21、m the test on the original material. For cutback asphalts, perform the test upon the residue from the distillation test T 78. 7. PROCEDURE 7.1. Place a 2.00- 0.02-g sample in the flask. If it does not flow readily at room temperature, carefully heat the flask until the sample can be spread in a thin

22、 film covering the bottom of the lower portion of the flask. Then allow the flask to cool to room temperature. 7.2. With the pipette or burette, place 10.2 mL of the specified solvent in the flask. Quickly insert the stopper with its 200-mm (8-in.) length of tubing into the neck of the flask, and sw

23、irl the flask with a rapid circular motion for 5 s. The flask shall then be immersed to its neck in a bath of gently boiling water for 55 s. 7.3. Remove the flask from the bath and swirl for 5 s. Each minute thereafter alternately immerse the flask for 55 s and remove and swirl for 5 s until complet

24、e dispersion has taken place. 7.4. After complete dispersion as judged by tilting the flask, lower the end of the glass tube below the level of the solution. Allow the flask to cool for 30 min at room temperature. 2015 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rig

25、hts reserved. Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-2b T 102-4 AASHTO 7.5. Warm the asphalt-solvent mixture for 15 min in a water bath maintained at 32.0 0.5C (89.6 1.0F). Thoroughly stir the asphalt-solvent mixture. By means of a clean stirring rod, place a drop of the warm mixture on the

26、 Whatman No. 50 filter paper. After 5 min, examine the spot by holding the paper at arms length with the plane of the paper at approximately a right angle to the line of vision with a good light source (preferably diffused daylight) at the observers back. If the drop forms a brown or yellowish-brown

27、 circular stain, with a darker solid or annular nucleus in the center, report the test as “positive.” 7.6. If the drop forms a uniformly brown circular stain, set the asphalt-solvent mixture aside in its tightly stoppered flask at room temperature in a subdued light to be retested 24 h after the fir

28、st examination. Warm the mixture to 32.0 0.5C (89.6 1.0F) for 15 min as before. Vigorously stir until uniform. Place a drop of the asphalt-solvent mixture on filter paper. If the drop from the 24-h-old mixture still forms a uniformly brown circular stain, report the test as “negative”; but if a dark

29、er solid or annular nucleus, as described in Section 7.5, now forms in the center of the stain, report the test as “positive.” 8. PROCEDURE IN DISPUTED CASES 8.1. In case of dispute, repeat the entire test. Make up any loss in mass of solvent during dispersion by adding additional solvent, and after

30、 dispersion is complete, keep the flask in subdued light at 25.0 1.7C (77 3F) until the 24-h tests are made. Warm the asphalt-solvent mixture for 15 min to 32.0 0.5C (89.6 1F), then place a drop of the mixture on a filter paper. If the appearance of the drop on the filter paper made with the 24-h-ol

31、d mixture is still in dispute, run the test on the glass plate as specified below. 8.2. Place a drop of the 24-h-old mixture on the glass plate held at an angle of 45 degrees with the horizontal. If, as the drop flows out, a dull matted streak develops in the center of its path, report the test as “

32、positive.” 8.3. If a drop of the 24-h-old mixture flows out to a uniform, clear, glossy brown film, without the central streak as described in the Section 8.2, report the test as “negative.” 9. PROCEDURE FOR XYLENE EQUIVALENTS 9.1. The method used in testing for “xylene equivalents” is the same as s

33、pecified in Section 7 except that the solvent shall be composed either of xylene and the standard naphtha or of xylene and normal heptane as specified. 9.2. To determine the xylene equivalent, disperse two or more samples of the asphalt to be examined in the prescribed mixed solvent. Vary the percen

34、tage of xylene by successive 5 percent (volume) increments until two asphalt solutions have been found, one of which shows a positive spot while the next (in which the solvent contains 5 percent more xylene) shows a negative spot. Report the xylene equivalent by the xylene percentage in the two solv

35、ents used in these two solutions; for example, as “1015 percent naphtha-xylene equivalent” or “2025 percent heptane-xylene equivalent.” 9.3. When acceptance of material is based on a specified xylene equivalent, the exact lowest percentage of xylene that produces a “negative spot” need not be determ

36、ined. The sample may be tested with solvent composed of the specified percentages of xylene and standard naphtha or xylene and normal heptane as required, and any material that shows negative for this solvent shall be reported as being less than the particular xylene equivalent that has been designa

37、ted; for example, “less than 20 percent naphtha-xylene equivalent” or “less than 25 percent heptane-xylene equivalent.” 2015 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved.
