11、itch-off criterionof 1 mg for 140 s or higher times for the highest accuracy. Forlower accuracy, set the instrument at 1 mg for 50 s or lowertimes for a faster run. The automatic switch-off criterion is usedto set the instruments sensitivity for higher accuracy (1 mg for140 s or longer times) or for
12、 lower accuracy (1 mg for 50 s orlower times).1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D04 on Roadand Paving Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D04.42 onEmulsified Asphalt Test.Current edition approved Dec. 1, 2007.

15、Program the moisture analyzer for an isother-mal run set for an end temperature of 163C with a switch-offcriterion of 1 mg for 140 s or longer times for the highestaccuracy. Set the instrument at 1 mg for 50 s or shorter timesfor a faster run and a lower accuracy. Use the switch-offcriterion to set
16、the instruments sensitivity as described aboveto stop the test automatically when the change in weight iswithin 1 mg for 140 s or longer times (higher accuracy) or 1 mgfor 50 s or shorter times (lower accuracy).NOTE 1Although this test method is not for solvent-containingemulsions, some guidance is
17、given for practitioners who desire to obtainresidue for emulsions of that type. Program the moisture analyzer to runin the temperature-gradient mode by setting the start temperature at 50Cand setting the ramp temperature at 10/min and the end temperature to100C if the emulsion also contains polymer.
18、 Set the end temperature to163C if the solvent-containing emulsion does not contain polymer. Inboth cases, set the switch-off criterion to 1 mg for 140 s (see AppendixAppendix X1) or longer times for higher accuracy and to 1 mg for 50 s orshorter times if a lower accuracy is desired.9. Calculation9.
19、1 The instrument calculates the residue automatically atthe end of the run. This report can be attached to any other finalreport that is desired. In some cases, a plot of the rate of watermoisture loss can be done.10. Report10.1 Report the residue to the nearest 0.1 %.11. Precision and Bias11.1 Prec
20、isionThe following criteria should be used forjudging the acceptability of results (95 % probability); dupli-cate results by the same operator should not be consideredsuspect unless they differ by more than the following amount:Residue by Evaporation Weight, % Repeatability, Weight %50 to 75 0.111.2
21、 BiasThe bias for this test method cannot be deter-mined because no suitable material with an accepted referencevalue is available.12.
