2、1 TS-2a TP 121-1 AASHTO Standard Method of Test for Determining the Viscosity of Emulsified Asphalt by a Rotational Paddle Viscometer AASHTO Designation: TP 121-161Release: Group 3 (August 2016) 1. SCOPE 1.1. This test method utilizes a rotational paddle viscometer to measure the viscosity of emulsi

3、fiedasphalt. It is applicable to all the emulsified asphalts described in M 140, M 208, and M 316 andwith temperatures between 25C and less than 90C (77F and less than 194F). Note 1The viscometer makes measurements at 25C (77F), 40C (104F), 50C (122F), 80C (176F), and 90C (194F) without any external

4、 ancillary equipment and with a temperature probe directly in the liquid sample. The viscosity measurement range is from 30 mPas to 3000 mPas (30 to 3000 cP). 1.2. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for informational purposes only. 1

5、.3. 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. 2. REFERENCED

SUMMARY OF TEST METHODThe viscometer is used to measure the apparent viscosity of emulsified asphalt at 25C (77F), 50C (122F), or other agreed-upon temperatures.A microprocess

9、or circuitry system functioning in tandem with a temperature probe inserted directly in the sample and equipped with internal electronic sensors detects and analyzes the preset temperature. The system shall control the preset temperature to 0.1C (0.5F) of the preset temperature.A paddle is immersed

10、in the emulsified asphalt sample and is rotated at 100 rpm. The apparent viscosity of the sample is obtained and read from the electronic display or printer.5. SIGNIFICANCE AND USE5.1. This test method is useful to characterize the viscosity of emulsified asphalt products, as anelement to establish

11、uniformity of shipments and sources of supply.5.2. The viscosity of emulsified asphalts characterizes their flow properties and affects their utility at50C (122F) or at other temperatures. For many applications, the sprayability and workability ofemulsified asphalt are directly related to the viscos

12、ity. The material must have a viscosity lowenough to be sprayed yet high enough to not flow from the crown or grade of the road.5.3. For mixing-grade emulsified asphalts, the viscosity will affect its workability and resulting filmthickness on the aggregate.5.4. This test method is useful to measure

13、 the apparent viscosity of emulsified asphalt at a temperatureof 25C (77F), 50C (122F), or another agreed-upon temperature. The preset temperature androtational speed at 100 rpm allow for an automated and consistent determination of an emulsifiedasphalt viscosity within a short time.6. APPARATUSNote

If the sample temperature is greater or less than 50C (122F) it should be conditioned to the required test temperature. 7.4. Pour the sample into a clean sample cup

20、through the 850-m (No. 20) or 20-mesh strainer to the fill line of the viscometer sample cup. 7.5. Emulsified asphalts with a viscosity testing temperature requirement of 25C (77F) should be conditioned at 25 3C (77 5F) in the original sample container to achieve homogeneity. 7.6.

26、 test temperature, and = measured viscosity at 25C (77F). 9.3. If the specific viscometer permits the user to digitally calibrate the viscosity, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. 9.4.
