When this occurs, viscosity alone is insufficient todescribe an asphalts flow properties. Most asphalts are primarily viscous

SUGGESTIONS FOR DATA ANALYSISX1.1 The chart in Fig. 1 includes
21、the region where theviscosity of asphalts depends not only on the temperature, butalso on the shearing conditions. Therefore, the data plotted onthe viscosity-temperature chart must be obtained under stan-dardized shearing conditions, for example, at the same shearrate, or the same shear stress. Con
22、stant shearing conditions alsoimplies the use of the same viscometer, or viscometers of thesame type and size, to avoid differences in viscosity valuescaused by differences in the extent of breakdown of themicellar structure of the asphalt due to shearing in themeasurement process.X1.2 Asphalt visco
23、sities are often reported at an arbitraryshear rate of 0.05 s1. Interpolation or extrapolation of mea-sured viscosity data is often required to obtain values for thisshear rate. A useful model for interpolating or extrapolatingasphalt rheological measurements is the empirical “PowerLaw” relationship

If c 1, the apparent viscosityincreases with shear rate.X1.3 Because a small error in the value of c can cause alarge error in
26、 an extrapolated viscosity value, it is recom-mended that the Power Law slope be determined usingreplicate tests on the material. The average value of c can bedetermined by regression analysis of the log t versus log gdata. If the data for replicate tests do not superimpose on a plotof all the data
27、on the same chart, the calibration and operatingprocedure for the viscometer should be checked before pro-ceeding further with the data analysis. If there are a smallnumber of outliers, these can be discarded, and the remainderof the data used in the regression analysis. Fig. X1.1 shows anexample of
28、 data containing outliers that should be ignored.X1.3.1 The objective of screening for outliers should be toretain all data that legitimately belong in the population ofresults characteristic of the test method used, and to eliminateonly those that differ so drastically that their inclusion distorts
29、the shear stress versus shear rate relationship. Therefore, thecriterion for rejecting data should be conservative. If a statis-tical technique is used, the significance level of the test shouldbe no greater than one percent.X1.4 Large extrapolations of rheological data to obtainvalues at constant s
30、hear rate are often unavoidable becausemost viscometers allow a limited range of shear stress, and thelarge variation in viscosity over a range of temperatures resultsin large differences in observed shear rate at different testtemperatures. A procedure which circumvents this problem isto plot the a
31、pparent viscosity at constant power input per unitvolume as a function of temperature. This avoids long extrapo-lations of the shear stress/shear rate relationships. H. E.Schweyer and others have recommended that apparent viscosi-ties at a constant power input of 100 W/m3be used. However,this value
32、has no theoretical significance, and may not beappropriate for all viscometers. A value which minimizes theamount of extrapolation needed to estimate the apparentviscosities in the temperature range of interest should beselected.X1.5 To estimate the apparent viscosity at constant powerinput, first d
33、etermine the Power Law constants h1and c froma plot or regression analysis of log shear stress versus log shearrate. Calculate the apparent viscosity at power input P from:hP5h1 FPh1Gc 2 1c 1 1(X1.2)where:hP= apparent viscosity, Pa.s at power input P, W/m3,h1= apparent viscosity, Pa.s at 1 s1shear r

Because of thenon-linearity of the scales on this chart, the viscosities must beplotted in the units sho
35、wn. Many asphalts will have a straightline viscosity versus temperature relationship on the chart.However, a minimum of 3 points should be plotted, to ensurethat the nature of the relationship is shown. Because of thepossibility of curvature, particularly at very high viscositylevels, extrapolation
36、is not recommended.X1.7 Alternatively, a regression analysis of log log h versuslog T (absolute temperature) can be performed. To be consis-tent with Fig. 1, the viscosity values must be converted tomPa.s or cP before taking the logarithms. A straight regressionline of this type is shown in Fig. X1.
