Summary of Practice3.1 A measured quantity of polymer modified asphalt in asealed aluminum tube is conditioned in a vertical position for48 h at a temperature of 163 6 5C (325 6

7、10F). At the endof the conditioning period, top and bottom portions areseparated and subjected to further testing to determine thedegree of separation. Tests chosen for this purpose depend onthe polymer modification system being evaluated and the typeof information desired by the user. Softening Poi

Procedure6.1 Place the empty aluminum tube in the rack, with sealedend down, or support it some other way in a vertical position.6.2 If the

16、sample is not already hot, heat it in the oven at 1636 5C (325 6 10F) until sufficiently fluid to pour. Stir thesample thoroughly and pour 50 6 0.5 g into the vertically heldtube. Depending on the type of tube used, either fold the excesstube over two times and crimp tightly, screw on the cap, inser

17、ta cork stopper wrapped in aluminum foil, or seal it in someother way to prevent the introduction of air.6.3 Place the sealed tube assembly in the 163 6 5C (325 610F) oven (other temperatures may be used if deemed moreappropriate by all parties). Allow the tube to stand undisturbedin the oven for a

18、period of 48 6 1 h. At the end of theconditioning period, remove the tube from the oven, and placeit immediately in the freezer at -10 6 10C (14 6 18F), takingcare to keep the tube in a vertical position at all times. Leavethe tube in the freezer for a minimum of4htosolidify thesample completely.6.4

19、 Remove the tube from the freezer and place it on a hardflat surface. Cut the section of the tube containing the specimeninto three portions of approximately equal length. A hammerand cutting tool is normally used, but other means areappropriate if they can make a clean separation. Discard thecenter

20、 asphalt section, and place the top and bottom portions ofthe tube into separate covered 100 6 20-mL (3 oz.) containers.Place the covered containers in the 163 6 5C (325 6 10F)oven until the asphalt is sufficiently fluid to remove the piecesof the aluminum tube, but not longer than 30 minutes.6.5 St
