This procedure measures the amount of the more volatile constituents in cutback asphaltic products. The properties of the residue after distillation are not necessarily characteristic of the bitumen used in the original mixture, nor of the residue which may be left at any particular time after field application of the cutback asphaltic product. The presence of silicone in the cutback may affect the distillation residue by retarding the loss of volatile material after the residue has been poured into the residue container.
Область применения1.1 This test method covers a distillation test for cutback asphaltic (bituminous) products.
