Summary of Test Method3.1 The kerosine number of unsaturated (dry) felt is com-puted from the weight of a kerosine of known specific gravityretained by the felt after displ
7、acement of the air from interiorvoids. It is the millilitres of kerosine held /100 g of felt, andthus, is a measure of the quantity of saturant that a given feltwill absorb.4. Significance and Use4.1 The ability to absorb kerosine is an indication of theability to absorb hot asphalt. The kerosine nu

Procedure9.1 Place a set of strips in the tared weighing container andexpose them, uncovered, for at least 1 but not mor
15、e than2hinan oven, the interior of which is maintained at a temperature of105 6 3C. Keep the felt strips flat. Do not fold, roll, or distortthem in any way. Handle the six strips as a unit in all of thefollowing operations.9.2 Remove the strips in the weighing container from theoven and place them,
16、with the container still uncovered, in adesiccator to cool.9.3 After cooling, rapidly close the container and weigh itwith enclosed strips to the nearest 10 mg to obtain the netweight of the dry strips.9.4 Insert a wire hook in one corner of the strips andimmerse them at once in a vertical position

Apply avacuum of at least 700 mm Hg to the vessel containing thestrips and hold it under these conditions for 15 min or for 5 minafter the bubbles cease to come from the felt strips, whicheverperiod is longer. Remove the felt strips from t
18、he kerosine andlet them drain in the machine direction of the felt for 3 min 61 s, allowing the lower corner of each strip to touch the edgeof the kerosine container.9.5 Return the soaked strips to their weighing container,close the container, and determine the combined weight of thestrips and the a
19、bsorbed kerosine. (WarningCare should beexercised in the use of kerosine because it is flammable. Do notexpose the material and its vapors to open flame or electricalspark.)10. Calculation10.1 Calculate the kerosine number as follows:Kerosine number 5b/a! 2 1c(1)where:a = weight of dry felt in g,b =
20、 weight of dry felt plus absorbed kerosine in g, andc = specific gravity of the kerosine.11. Report11.1 Report the kerosine number as the average of twodeterminations, to three significant figures.12.
