9、law.TS-2c T 319-2 AASHTO 4. SUMMARY OF METHOD 4.1. The asphalt mixture is repeatedly washed and filtered with solvent in an extraction/filtration apparatus. Each filtrate is distilled under vacuum in a rotary evaporator with the asphalt remaining in the flask. After recovery of the final filtrate, t

10、he solution is concentrated to about 300 mL and centrifuged to remove the aggregate fines. The decanted solution is distilled under vacuum to remove the extraction solvents. Nitrogen gas is introduced during the final phase of distillation to drive off any remaining traces of solvents. The quantity

11、of asphalt binder in the asphalt mixture is calculated (optional) and the recovered asphalt (distillation residue) sample is subjected to further physical and chemical testing as required. The recovered aggregate can then be used for sieve analysis or other aggregate testing, if desired. 5. SIGNIFIC

12、ANCE AND USE 5.1. This method is used for obtaining recovered asphalt binder residue samples from asphalt mixture samples for further physical and chemical analyses, and for the optional calculation of asphalt binder content. 6.

When sampling RAP, refer to T 2 for aggregate sampling. 10. PREPARATION OF APPARATUS 10.1. Preparing the Ext

33、raction VesselInstall the baffle piece and other internal parts in the order shown in Figure 1. Tightly and evenly fasten the bottom end piece (with the quick-connect fitting) of the vessel with wing nuts or hexagonal nuts. 10.2. Preparing the Rotary EvaporatorTurn on the cooling water. Turn on the

34、oil bath, and set the temperature to 100 2.5C. Place six 3-mm glass boiling beads in a 1000-mL round-bottom flask. Attach this recovery flask to the rotary evaporator, and immerse approximately 38 mm of the flask into the oil bath. Set the angle of the recovery flask, from the horizontal to the bath

35、, at 15 degrees. Set the flask rotation at 40 r/min. Clamp the empty condensate flask onto the condenser. Attach the transfer tube inside the neck of the rotary evaporator. Attach the filtrate transfer line to the external fitting on the neck of the rotary evaporator. 11. STANDARDIZATION 11.1. At le

36、ast every six months, verify the calibration of the oil bath temperature detector by using a certified mercury-in-glass thermometer of suitable range that is accurate to 0.2C. Immerse the thermometer in the oil bath close to the thermal detector, and compare the temperature indicated by the certifie

37、d thermometer to the temperature setting for the oil bath. If the temperature indicated by the thermal detector does not agree with the certified thermometer within 0.5C, perform additional calibration or maintenance. 11.2. At least every six months, use a mercury manometer or other certified pressu

38、re measurement device to verify calibration of the vacuum indicator. If the vacuum indicator and the certified pressure measurement device do not agree within 0.1 kPa, perform additional calibration or maintenance. 11.3. At least every six months, verify the rotational velocity of the rotary evapora

39、tor. 11.4. At least every six months, verify the flow rate of the nitrogen flowmeter. 2015 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved. Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-2c T 319-10 AASHTO 12. PROCEDURE 12.1. Sample Preparation: 12.1.1.

40、 If a sample of asphalt mixture is not sufficiently soft to separate with a spatula or trowel, place the sample in a large, flat pan, and warm it in an oven at 110 5C only until it can be handled or mixed. 12.1.2. Split or quarter the loose asphalt mixture sample until an amount of the sample that w

41、ill yield approximately 50 to 60 g of extracted asphalt binder is obtained. Typically 1000 g of asphalt mixture is sufficient. Note 5This procedure works best when recovering less than 60 g of asphalt binder. Therefore, if the asphalt binder content of the mix is already known, then the mass of the

42、original sample required is that which yields about 50 to 60 g of asphalt binder. Note 6The maximum aggregate size in the test specimen will affect the calculated asphalt content. If the calculated results from this standard are used to represent the asphalt content of the asphalt mixture from which

43、 the sample was obtained, use a minimum mass of test specimens for calculations that will ensure that inclusion or removal of one maximum size particle will not change the calculated asphalt content by more than 0.05 percent. This restriction may require testing multiple test specimens. 12.1.3. If t

44、he asphalt binder content is to be determined, obtain a separate test specimen from the asphalt mixture sample. Determine the moisture content in accordance with T 110 or T 329 and record the mass percent of water in the test specimen. 12.2. Extraction and Filtration: 12.2.1. Place the asphalt mixtu

45、re sample in the extraction vessel. Put the gasket and the upstream end piece on the vessel, and fasten the wing nuts tightly and evenly, creating a secure seal. 12.2.2. Charge 600 mL of solvent through the 19-mm port on the upstream end of the extractor. Blanket the interior of the extraction vesse

46、l by injecting nitrogen through the upstream port at a rate of 1000 mL/min for 1 min. Close the port with the threaded plug. Attach the extractor to the motor. Start the motor, and mix for 5 1 min at 30 r/min. Turn off the motor. 12.2.3. Remove the extractor; place it on a stand, and attach the quic

47、k-connect fitting to the first filtrate-receiving flask. Ensure the filtrate transfer line is closed. Remove the upstream port, and blanket the extractor with nitrogen at a rate of 400 mL/min while drawing the asphalt/solvent solution into the first flask. Apply a vacuum of 93.3 0.7 kPa (700 5 mm Hg

48、) to the first filtrate-receiving flask in order to draw the material from the vessel. Continue drawing the solution into the first flask until there is no noticeable amount of solution exiting the vessel. Turn off the vacuum. 12.2.4. Filtering through the in-line cartridge filter, switch the vacuum

49、 to the second filtrate-receiving flask, and apply a vacuum of 93.3 0.7 kPa. Filter until there is no noticeable amount of solution remaining in the first flask or the filter. Turn off the vacuum. 12.2.5. After filtration, open the filtrate transfer valve on the second receiving flask and allow the solution to flow from the filtrate-receiving flask to the recovery flask. Continue the transfer until the filtrate-receiving flask is empty or the recovery flask is about two-thirds full; then, beg
