Summary of Practice3.1 This specification covers the use of a viscosity blendingchart shown in Fig. 1 or by a Perfor
10、mance Grade (PG)temperature blending chart shown in Fig. 2 to determine thepercentage of a recycling agent, rejuvenating agent orpavinggrade- asphalt (hereafter referred to as virgin modifier)required to meet the target viscosity or PG temperature. Theblending chart based on viscosity is based upon
11、results fromD2171 compared to the limits of D3381. The PG blendingchart is based upon the results from D6816 and D7175 whichare compared to the limits of D6373. The procedure consists ofdetermining the asphalt binder grade of reclaimed asphaltbinder (hereafter referred to as RAM binder), estimating
12、theblend by graphical methods and preparing a blend of virginmodifier and the RAM binder in the laboratory. The measuredproperties of the blend are compared to the target values.

Significance and Use4.1 A standard procedure for blend preparation is essentialto ensure material
26、quality, specification compliance, and pro-cedural uniformity.5. Apparatus5.1 Beakers, 50-mL, 600-mL capacity or other suitablecontainers.5.2 Hot plate.5.3 Glass stirring rod.6. Procedure6.1 Weigh the RAP binder and recycling agent or paving-grade-asphalt in appropriate proportions in accordance wit
27、h 3.1in a 10.0 6 0.1-g specimen or larger for a trial blend. Preparethe 10.0 6 0.1-g trial blend in the 50-mL container whilepreparing a larger batch (if required) in the 600-mL containeror other suitable containers.NOTE 4For ease of handling during proportioning, the RAP binderand recycling agent o
28、r paving grade asphalt may be frozen (6 6 1F issuggested) for 1 to 2 h.Aromatic oils may not require freezing. The frozenstate facilitates chipping and weighing the desired quantities with relativeease. Weighing should be executed quickly because cold specimens mayattract moisture especially in humi
29、d environments that may result inbubbly action during heating.6.2 Place the container with the 10.0 6 0.1-g target blendsample on a hot plate at 93 to 121C (200 to 250F) andcontinually stir by hand using a glass rod until the materialbecomes fluid. Place the container with the sample in an ovenat 13
30、5C (275F) for 10 min and stir for 30-s durations at5-min intervals. Transfer the sample to viscosity tubes forviscosity testing at 60C (140F) as prescribed in Test MethodD2171. Repeat the procedure until the desired viscosity isachieved.6.3 Once the desired viscosity is achieved, prepare a batchblen
31、d sample. About 200 g is normally sufficient. Weigh in a600-mL container and place in a 135C (275F) oven and stir,using a glass rod, for 1 min at every 10-min interval until themixture melts. After the material is thoroughly melted, keep itin the oven for another 30 min while stirring for 1 min at e
32、very5-min interval. Remove the batch blend sample from the ovenfor subsequent testing.NOTE 5Larger quantities of blended material may be prepared bycombining two or more 200.0 6 0.1-g batch blends. Alternatively, singlelarge batches may be made provided uniform mixing is achieved.6.4 The batch blend
33、 prepared in 6.3 can be divided intosmaller quantities for physical or chemical tests to meet thevarious test requirements of the investigator.7.
