Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination, by

3、directmeasurement, of moisture or volatile fractions of the asphalt inasphalt mixtures.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.

18、he World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.14.3.2 For determination of the volatile fractions of theasphalt, the trap shall conform to the dimensions shown in Fig.5.4.4 SolventFor general use, an aromatic solvent ispreferred, since it has high solvency and dispersing pow

19、er formost asphalt materials. Xylene, or a blend of 20 % toluene and80 % xylene, is recommended. For asphalts and similar petro-leum products, a petroleum distillate, 5 % boiling between 90and 100 C, and 90 % distilling below 210 C may be used. Forcoal tar, water-gas tar, and similar materials, the
