1、Standard Method of Test for The Qualitative Detection of Harmful Clays of the Smectite Group in Aggregates Using Methylene Blue AASHTO Designation: T 330-07 (2015)1American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials 444 North Capitol Street N.W., Suite 249 Washington, D.C. 20001 TS-1c

2、 T 330-1 AASHTO Standard Method of Test for The Qualitative Detection of Harmful Clays of the Smectite Group in Aggregates Using Methylene Blue AASHTO Designation: T 330-07 (2015)11. SCOPE 1.1. The purpose of this standard is to identify the presence of harmful clays of the smectite group (poor minu

3、s 75-m material) and to provide an indication of the surface activity of the aggregate. 1.2. This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of

4、 this procedure to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2. REFERENCED DOCUMENTS 2.1. AASHTO Standard: M 231, Weighing Devices Used in the Testing of Materials 3. SUMMARY OF TEST METHOD 3.1. Methylene Blue solutio

5、n is titrated in increments into distilled water containing sample material passing the 75-m (No. 200) sieve in increments. A small amount of water containing the sample material and titrated Methylene Blue is removed via a glass rod and dropped onto filter paper. When the clay fraction of the sampl

6、e aggregate can no longer absorb more Methylene Blue, a blue ring is formed on the filter paper. 4. SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 4.1. The Methylene Blue Value determined by this standard can be used to estimate the amount of harmful clays and organic matter present in an aggregate. A high value for Methylen

7、e Blue Value indicates a large amount of clay or organic material present in the sample. Note 1Research (Aschenbrener, 1992) has developed the following relationship of methylene blue values and anticipated hot mix asphalt pavement performance as related to moisture susceptibility.

Note 2One gram of Methylene Blue is dissolved in enough distilled water to produce 200 mL of solution, with each 1 mL of solution containing 5 mg of Methylene Blue. 5.11. Distilled water at lab temperature. 5.12. Oven capable of maintaining 110 5C (230 9F). Note 3For the

12、 purposes of this procedure, lab temperature is defined as 15 to 25C (60 to 77F). 6. SAMPLE PREPARATION 6.1. This test shall be performed on a sample of material passing the 75-m (No. 200) sieve, taken from the washed portion of a representative sample of individual or combined material (as required

13、). The material shall be washed through the 75-m (No. 200) sieve and collected in a clean container. This container shall be large enough to hold several gallons of water and material passing the 75-m (No. 200) sieve. Allow the material to settle and remove the excess water. The portion passing the

14、75-m (No. 200) sieve is collected, transferred to a smaller container, and dried for testing. The collected material is mixed thoroughly prior to testing. The minimum oven-dry mass of the collected material shall be at least 30 g to ensure enough material for a possible retest. 2015 by the American

Place 10.0 g (0.05 g) of the minus 75-m (No. 200) material that has been dried to constant mass in a 500-mL griffin beaker. 7.2. Add 30 m

16、L of distilled water and stir with the mixer to make a slurry. 7.3. With the slurry still mixing, fill the buret with the Methylene Blue solution, add 0.5 mL of the solution to the slurry, and stir for 1 min. 7.4. Remove a drop of the slurry, using the glass stirring rod, and place on the filter pap

17、er. 7.5. Observe the appearance of the drop on the filter paper. The end point is indicated by the formation of a light blue halo around the drop. Continue adding the Methylene Blue solution to the slurry in 0.5-mL increments with 1-min stirring after each addition, then testing, until the end point

18、 is reached. 7.6. After the end point is reached, continue stirring for 5 min and retest. Note 4With experience, the person performing the test can reach the end point more quickly by skipping early increments. 8. CALCULATION 8.1. Example: M CV W= (1) where: M = Methylene Blue Value in mg of solutio

19、n per g of the minus 75-m (No. 200) material; C = mg of Methylene Blue/mL of solution; V = mL of Methylene Blue solution required for titration; and W = grams of dry material. 8.2. The calculation may be simplified by inserting the mg of Methylene Blue per mL of solution and the grams of dry materia

PRECISION AND BIAS 10.1. PrecisionNo precision has been established for this test. 10.2. BiasNo bias can be

21、 established because no reference material is available for this test. 2015 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved.
