This specification establishes the property requirements and tests for cutback petroleum asphalts of the slow-curing type for use in the construction and treatment of pavements. The asphalt shall not foam when heated to application temperature and shall conform to the following requirements when undergone through appropriate tests: flash point (Cleveland open cup); kinematic viscosity; distillation (total distillate volume); asphalt residue; ductility; solubility in trichloroethylene; and water content.

1.1 This specification covers cutback petroleum asphalts of the slow-curing type for use in the construction and treatment of pavements.

1.2 Units—The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the standard.

1.3 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard.

1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
