Scope1.1 These test methods cover the quant

3、itative determinationof bitumen in hot-mixed paving mixtures and pavementsamples. Aggregate obtained by these test methods may beused for sieve analysis using Test Method C117 and TestMethod C 136.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values given in parent

5、s prior to use. Specific hazards aregiven in Section 7.NOTE 1The results obtained by these test methods may be affected bythe age of the material tested, with older samples tending to yield slightlylower bitumen content. Best quantitative results are obtained when the testis made on mixtures and pav

It isdifficult to remove all the asphalt when some aggregates are used andsome chlorides may remain within the mineral matter affecting themeasured asphalt content.2.

Summary of Test Methods3.1 The paving mixture is extracted with trichloroethylene,normal Propyl Bromide, or methylene chloride using theextraction equipment applicable to the particular method. Thebitumen content is calculated by difference from the mass ofthe

11、 extracted aggregate, moisture content, and mineral matterin the extract. The bitumen content is expressed as masspercent of moisture-free mixtures.4. Significance and Use4.1 All of these test methods can be used for quantitativedeterminations of bitumen in hot-mixed paving mixtures andpavement samp

Sampling8.1 Obtain samples in accordance with Practice D 979.8.2 Preparation of Test Specimens:8.2.1 If the mixture is not sufficiently soft to separate with aspatula or trowel, place it in a large, flat pan and warm t

22、o 2306 9F (110 6 5C) only until it can be handled or mixed.

23、able 1 (Note 2):NOTE 2When the mass of the test specimen exceeds the capacity ofthe equipment used (for a particular method), the test specimen may bedivided into suitable increments, tested, and the results appropriatelycombined for calculation of bitumen content (Section 12).8.2.3 In addition, a t

24、est specimen is required for the deter-mination of moisture (Section 9) in the mixtures. Take this testspecimen from the remaining sample of the mixture immedi-ately after obtaining the extraction test specimen.NOTE 3If recovery of bitumen from the solution obtained from theextraction test is not re

25、quired, the entire test specimen may be dried toconstant mass in an oven at a temperature of 230 6 9F (110 6 5C) priorto extraction instead of determining the moisture content (Section 9).9.

34、wsufficient time for the solvent to disintegrate the test portion(not over 1 h). Place the bowl containing the test portion andthe solvent in the extraction apparatus. Dry and determine themass of the filter ring and fit it around the edge of the bowl.Clamp the cover on the bowl tightly and place a

35、beaker underthe drain to collect the extract.11.4 Start the centrifuge revolving slowly and graduallyincrease the speed to a maximum of 3600 r/min or until solventceases to flow from the drain. Allow the machine to stop, add200 mL of trichloroethylene, normal Propyl Bromide, ormethylene chloride and

36、 repeat the procedure. Use sufficient200-mL solvent additions (not less than three) so that theextract is not darker than a light straw color. Collect the extractand the washings in a suitable graduate.11.5 Remove the filter ring from the bowl and dry in air. Iffelt filter rings are used, brush off

37、mineral matter adhering tothe surface of the ring and add to the extracted aggregate. Drythe ring to constant mass in an oven at 230 6 9F (110 6 5C).Carefully remove all the contents of the bowl into a metal panand dry on a steam bath and then, dry to constant mass in anoven or on a hot plate at 230

38、6 9F (110 6 5C). Iftrichloroethylene or normal Propyl Bromide is used as theextraction solvent, the preliminary drying on a steam bath maybe omitted. The mass of the extracted aggregate, W3, is equalto the mass of the aggregate in the pan plus the increase in massof the filter rings.11.5.1 Use the f

39、ollowing alternative procedure when low-ash filter rings are used: Place the aggregate and filter rings ina clean metal pan. Dry as specified above. Carefully fold thedried filter ring and stand it on the aggregate. Burn the filterring by igniting with a bunsen burner or match. Determine themass of

40、the extracted aggregate in the pan, W3.NOTE 5Since dry aggregate absorbs moisture when exposed to aircontaining moisture, determine the mass of the extracted aggregateimmediately after cooling to a suitable temperature.11.6 Determine the amount of mineral matter in the extractby any of the following

41、 test methods:11.6.1 Ashing Method:11.6.1.1 Record the volume of the total extract in thegraduate (11.4). Determine the mass of an ignition dish.Agitatethe extract thoroughly and immediately measure approximately100 mL into the ignition dish. Evaporate to dryness on a steambath or hot plate, except

42、use a steam bath when the solvent isbenzene. Ash residue at a dull red heat (500 to 600C), cool,and add 5 mL of saturated ammonium carbonate solution pergram of ash. Digest at room temperature for 1 h. Dry in an ovenat 100C to constant mass, cool in a desiccator, and determinethe mass.11.6.1.2 Calcu

43、late the mass of mineral matter in the totalvolume of extract, W4, as follows:W45 GV1/V12 V2!# (1)NOTE 1See Table 2 for metric equivalents.FIG. 1 Extraction Unit Bowl (Test Method A)D2172053where:G = ash in aliquot, g,V1= total volume, mL, andV2= volume after removing aliquot, mL.11.6.2 Centrifuge M

44、ethod:11.6.2.1 For this test method use any suitable high-speed(3000 g or higher) centrifuge of the continuous-flow type.11.6.2.2 Determine the mass of a clean empty centrifugecup (or bowl) to 0.01 6 0.005 g and place in the centrifuge.Position a container at the appropriate spout to catch theefflue

45、nt from the centrifuging operation. Transfer all of theextract (from Test Methods A, B, C, D, or E as appropriate) toan appropriate (feed) container suitably equipped with a feedcontrol (valve or clamp, etc.). To ensure quantitative transfer ofthe extract to the feed container, the receptacle contai

46、ning theextract should be washed several times with small amounts ofclean solvent and the washings added to the feed container.Start the centrifuge and allow to reach a constant operationalspeed (for example, 9000 r/min for the SMM type and20 000 + r/min for the Sharples type). Open the feed line an

47、dfeed the extract into the centrifuge at a rate of 100 to 150mL/min.After all the extract has passed through the centrifuge,wash the feed mechanism (with centrifuge still running) withseveral increments of clean solvent, allowing each increment torun through the centrifuge until the effluent is esse

48、ntiallycolorless.11.6.2.3 Allow the centrifuge to stop and remove the cup (orbowl). Clean the outside with fresh solvent. Allow the residualsolvent to evaporate in a funnel or steam hood and then dry thecontainer in an oven controlled at 230 6 9F (110 6 5C).Cool the container and redetermine the mas

49、s immediately. Theincrease in mass is the mass of mineral matter, W4,(12.1)intheextract.11.6.3 Volumetric Method:11.6.3.1 Place the extract in a previously tared and cali-brated flask. Place the flask in a controlled-temperature bathcontrolled to 0.2F (60.1C), and allow to come to thetemperature at which the flask was calibrated. When thedesired temperature has been reached, fill the flask with solventwhich has been kept at the same temperature. Bring the level ofthe liquid in the flask up to the neck, insert the stopper, makingsure the liquid
