This test method may be used to generate information concerning the potential characteristics of handling, placing, compaction, and performance of an asphalt cold mix.

Workability is one of the main factors that influences the suitability and ultimately the performance of asphalt cold mix suitability for use as a roadway patching material.

This test method is applicable to asphalt cold mixes manufactured with modified or unmodified asphalt emulsions, cutback asphalts, or combinations thereof.

1.1 This test method provides a procedure for determination of the workability of asphalt cold mix patching materials.

1.2 This test method is applicable to asphalt cold mix patching materials that will be stockpiled or packaged in containers, subjected to different climatic conditions, and later used for roadway patching operations.

1.3 Precision and bias for this test method has not been determined, therefore, this test method should not be used for purchasing purposes.

1.4 This procedure may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
