1、Designation: D1670/D1670M 11Standard Test Method forFailure End Point in Accelerated and Outdoor Weathering ofBituminous Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1670/D1670M; the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or, in the case

2、 of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the use of a spark generatingapparatus for determination of failure

3、due to cracking ofbituminous materials undergoing accelerated or outdoor weath-ering on electrically conductive backings.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eac

4、hsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to esta

Summary of Tes

7、t Method3.1 Dry, weathered, bituminous-coated test panels aregrounded and a feeler electrode is passed over the back of alinagraphic or ultra high sensitivity thermal fax paper placed onthe bituminous surface with the emulsion side down. Photo-copies are made of the front side of the paper on which

8、thespots caused by the sparks appear. The photographs arecovered with an acrylic grid and the number of squarescontaining the spark records are counted and reported. Spark-ing in 26 or more grid squares is representative of failure.4. Significance and Use4.1 The extent of cracking or pitting of bitu

9、minous films isa measure of the extent of deterioration due to weathering.Failure due to cracking is more accurately determined electri-cally than visually.4.2 Failure determined by this test method will depend notonly on the characteristics of the bituminous material and theextent of weathering, bu

10、t also on the film thickness, and theamount and type of mineral filler present.4.3 Tests on a similar material of known weathering char-acteristics (a control) exposed at the same time as the testmaterial is strongly recommended as a check on the validity ofthe test results.5. Apparatus5.1 Any Spark

11、-Generating Apparatus3Fig. 1 is an ex-ample of an acceptable configuration for the test feeler. Otherconfigurations are not prohibited, subject to the followingconditions:5.1.1 The cross-dimension of the wire loop is to be 50 6 5mm 134 618 in.5.1.2 The device is capable of delivering a 5-kV peakvolt
