1、Designation: D4 86 (Reapproved 2010)Standard Test Method forBitumen Content1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses
2、indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscriptepsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense. Although this test method was withdrawn by theSociety in June 1966 at the request of Co
3、mmittee D04, the Committee on Standards has approved its reinstatement under the jurisdictionof Committee D08 on the basis that Procedure No. 2 still applies to their interest. Procedure No. 1 has been replaced by Method D 2042,Test for Solubility of Asphalt Materials in Trichloroethylene.1. Scope1.
4、1 This test method covers the determination of bitumencontent in materials containing at least 25 % bitumen. Bitumencontent may usually be expeditiously and accurately deter-mined by Procedure No. 1, Section 7. However, some bitumi-nous materials containing finely divided mineral matter mayclog the
5、filter or the mineral residue may not be easily retained,in which cases Procedure No. 2, Section 8, shall be followed.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesa
6、fety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility and regulatory limitations prior to use.

Safety Precautions4.1 Carbon disulfide is extremely flammable. The vapor willoften ignite spontaneously on contact with a hot surface such asa hot plate, o
11、ven, or radiator. When using this solvent, be surethat the filtration is conducted under a hood and well awayfrom flame or other sources of heat. Before placing crucibles orother containers in the oven, all traces of carbon disulfideshould be removed (as indicated by the disappearance of allodor). O
12、therwise, the vapors will ignite. Carbon disulfide isalso very irritating to the skin and direct contact should beavoided.5.

Crucible Preparation6
16、.1 If the crucible, after thorough cleaning (see 6.2), hasbeen used for less than six determinations, clean it as follows:Remove the CAFA mat completely, wash the crucible withdistilled water, dry, and ignite in a muffle furnace for1hatabout 800C. Cool the crucible slowly by placing it in a dryingov
17、en for 1 h after removal from the furnace to prevent crackingand place it in a desiccator while still warm.6.2 After the crucible has been used for six determinations,remove any residual ash from pores in the filtering area byboiling in 1 + 1 hydrochloric acid. Then boil the crucible indistilled wat
18、er, thoroughly back wash with distilled water, dry,and ignite as in 6.1.7. Procedure No. 17.1 Weigh approximately2gofthesample (size sample toobtain 0.1 to 0.3 g of insoluble matter) into a tared 150-mLbeaker and add 100 mL of carbon disulfide to the beaker insmall portions, with continuous agitatio
19、n, until all lumpsdisappear and nothing adheres to the beaker. Cover the beakerwith a watch glass and set it aside for 15 min.7.2 Transfer 0.45 to 0.55 g of dry CAFA to a clean, dry,filtering crucible. Distribute the Celite evenly over the bottom.Immediately weigh and record the weight of crucible p
20、lusCelite.7.3 Decant the carbon disulfide solution carefully throughthe CAFA mat (previously wetted with carbon disulfide) in theprepared crucible, with or without light suction as may benecessary, retaining as much sediment as possible in the beakeruntil the solution has drained through the mat. Wa
21、sh the beakerwith a small amount of carbon disulfide and transfer allsediment from the beaker to the mat. Do not allow the mat todry out at any time until filtration is complete. Wash withcarbon disulfide until the filtrate is substantially colorless, thenapply strong suction to remove the remaining
22、 carbon disulfide.Remove the crucible from the adapter, wash the bottom free ofany bitumen, and place the crucible on top of the oven untilpractically all of the carbon disulfide has been driven off.(Warningsee 4.1). Place in the oven at 110 6 10C for atleast 20 min. Cool in a desiccator and weigh.7
23、.4 If insoluble matter adheres to the beaker, dry the beakerin the oven at 110C and weigh. Add the mass of this adherentmaterial as a correction to the mass of the insoluble matter inthe crucible.7.5 If a determination of mineral matter is required, ignitethe crucible from 7.3 until it glows with a
24、dull red color. Holdat this temperature until all carbon has been consumed; thenraise the temperature to produce a bright red.After cooling, addto the residue about five times its mass of saturated ammoniumcarbonate solution and let it digest for1hatroom temperaturein a covered beaker; then dry in a
25、n oven at 105 to 110C toconstant mass (Note 4). Add the corrections described in 7.4and, if needed, 7.6 to the mass of mineral matter in the crucible.NOTE 4In the event that water-soluble salts insoluble in carbondisulfide are present, the amount of these salts may be determined inaccordance with th
26、e procedure described in the 1937 Report of CommitteeD04 on Road and Paving Materials.37.6 If there is any question involving the amount of mineralmatter that may have passed through the filter, a correction maybe determined as described in 8.5.8. Procedure No. 28.1 Weigh approximately2gofthesample
27、into a tared50-mL beaker. Add to the beaker about 0.5 g, weighed to thenearest 0.001 g, of freshly dried CAFA. Cover with about 25mL of carbon disulfide and stir the filter aid into the liquid. Letstand, covered with a watch glass, at least 1 h, stirringoccasionally in order to dissolve the sample c
28、ompletely.8.2 Transfer 0.45 to 0.55 g of dry CAFA to a clean, dry,filtering crucible. Distribute the Celite evenly over the bottom.Immediately weigh and record the mass of crucible plus Celite.8.3 Immediately before starting the filtering process, stir thefilter aid into the liquid. Wet the CAFAmat
29、in the crucible withcarbon disulfide. Pour the solution from the beaker onto thepad, filling the crucible to the top. Apply light suction and, asthe liquid filters through, pour the remaining contents of the50-mL beaker into the crucible. Wash the beaker with a smallamount of carbon disulfide and tr
30、ansfer all sediment from thebeaker to the mat. Do not allow the CAFA mat to dry out untilfiltration is complete. Wash with carbon disulfide until thefiltrate is substantially colorless, then apply strong suction toremove the remaining carbon disulfide. Remove the cruciblefrom the adapter, wash the b
31、ottom free of any bitumen, andplace on top of the oven until practically all of the carbondisulfide has been driven off. Place in the oven at 110 6 10Cfor at least 20 min. Cool in a desiccator and weigh.8.4 If insoluble matter adheres to the beaker, dry the beakerin the oven at 110C and weigh. Add t
32、he mass of this adherentmaterial as a correction to the mass of the insoluble matter inthe crucible.8.5 Ignite the evaporating dish to a dull red heat, cool in adesiccator, and weigh. Pour the filtrate from the filtering flaskinto the dish and wash the flask thoroughly with carbondisulfide, putting
33、these washings into the dish also. Burn off thecarbon disulfide in a hood and ignite the residue until no blackor glowing spots remain. Extreme care must be exercisedduring the ignition to prevent the light mineral matter frombeing blown out of the dish. Cool in a desiccator and weighimmediately. Th
34、is mass shall be added as a correction to theweight of the insoluble matter in the crucible.8.6 If a determination of mineral matter is required, heat thecrucible and its contents from 8.3 until they glow with a dullred color. Hold at this temperature until all carbon has beenconsumed; then raise th
35、e temperature to produce a bright red.After cooling, add to the residue about five times its mass ofsaturated ammonium carbonate solution and let it digest for 1h at room temperature in a covered beaker; then dry in an ovenat 105 to 110C to constant mass (Note 4). Add the correctionsdescribed in 8.4
36、 and 8.5 to the mass of mineral matter in thecrucible.3Proceedings, ASTM, Vol 37, Part I, 1937, p. 395.D4 86 (2010)28.7 The mass of additional filter aid used must be subtractedfrom the total mass of insoluble residue and also from the totalmass of mineral matter in the crucible in order to obtain n
