Reliable results depend onmany factors; following the suggest
14、ions of Specification D3666 or some similar acceptable guideline provides a means of evaluating and controlling some of those factors.This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous versio

United States14.2 Condenser, of the water-cooled reflux glass-tube type, having a condenser jacket not less than 400 mm (15 34 in.) long withan inner tube 9.5 to 12.7 mm (38 to 12 in.) in outside diameter. The end of the condens
17、er inserted in the trap shall be ground offat an angle of 30 from the vertical axis of the condenser. For mixtures with very volatile solvents, it may be necessary tosupplement this water-cooled condenser with a second water-cooled condenser of approximately the same dimensions.4.3 Trap, of well-ann
18、ealed glass, of one of the following types depending upon the purpose of the test:4.3.1 For determination of water in bituminous paving asphalt mixtures, a glass trap of 1010- or 25-mL capacity shall be used.The trap shall be graduated in 0.1-mL divisions with 60.05-mL maximum error below 1 mL, and
19、in 0.2-mL divisions with a60.1-mL maximum error above 1 mL, as specified in Table 1 and Fig. 1Figs. 1-4, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, and Fig. 4. Tapered Ballball trapsrequire adaptors for connection to the metal still.4.3.2 For determination of the volatile fractions of the bitumen,asphalt, the trap shall confo
20、rm to the dimensions shown in Fig.5.4.4 SolventFor general use, an aromatic solvent is preferred, since it has high solvency and dispersing power for mostbituminousasphalt materials. Xylene, or a blend of 20 % toluene and 80 % xylene, is recommended. For asphalts and similarpetroleum products, a pet
21、roleum distillate, 5 % boiling between 90 and 100C,100 C, and 90 % distilling below 210C210 C maybe used. For coal-tar, coal tar, water-gas tar, and similar materials, the aromatic solvent must be used.4.5 Heating Device Any satisfactory source of heat that will be capable of maintaining a rate of d

Sampling5.1 Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with the procedures set forth in Test MethodsMethod D979D979/D979M.5.2 The sample shall be representative of the material and shall be of such size as practical to fill the container in which it i
23、stransported to the laboratory. For duplicate tests, a 1.9-L (12-gal) friction-top tin pail full of the material would be satisfactory.6. Test Specimen and Sample6.1 Thoroughly mix the sample and weigh out an amount estimated to show a percentage of moisture or diluent within thecapacity of the trap
24、 calibration. Keep the remainder of the sample in its tightly covered container. The weighed sample should bepreferably not less than 500 g for normal mixtures. Thoroughly break up this sample to avoid larger lumps, and place it in the still.7. Procedure for Determination of Moisture7.1 After the sa
25、mple has been placed in the still, add 200 mL of the solvent and quickly stir it into the sample.7.2 Assemble the components of the apparatus as illustrated in Fig. 6, choosing the trap in accordance with the expected watercontent of the sample and making all connections vapor and liquid tight. Inse

The condenser tube and trap must be chemically clean to assureensure free drainage of waterinto the bottom of the trap. Insert a loose cotton plug in the tip of the condensorcondenser to prevent condensation of atmosph
27、ericmoisture inside it. Circulate cold water through the jacket of the condenser.7.3 Apply heat at such a rate that refluxing will start within 5 to 10 min after the heat has been applied and the condenser solventwill drip into the trap at a rate of 85 to 95 drops/min. Continue the distillation unti
28、l three successive readings of the trap at 15-minintervals show no increase in the amount of water being condensed, except that in no case shall distillation continue for more than112 h.7.4 Allow the contents of the trap to reach room temperature and read the volume of water in the trap to the neare

In case the sample contains a large amountof very volatile solvent, it may be necessary to add a second water-cooled condenser above the first

Then remove the source of heat and allow the
