Summar

8、y of Test Method3.1 A plug of bitumen is cast in a tapered collar. Theassembled float and collar is then floated in the testing bath atthe specified temperature. The time, in seconds, betweenplacing the apparatus on the water and the water breakingthrough the material shall be taken as a measure of

9、theconsistency of the material under examination.4. Significance and Use4.1 The float test characterizes the flow behavior or consis-tency of certain bituminous materials.4.2 This test method is useful in determining the consis-tency of bitumen as one element in establishing the uniformityof certain

10、 shipments or sources of supply.5. Apparatus5.1 FloatThe float (Fig. 1) shall be made of aluminum oraluminum alloy and shall be in accordance with the followingrequirements:Min Normal MaxMass of float, g 37.70 37.90 38.10Total height of float, mm 34.0 35.0 36.0Height of rim above lower 26.5 27.0 27.

13、ss of 53.2 g, shall float upon water with the rim 8.56 1.5 mm above the surface of the water. This adjustment ofthe total mass of the assembly is for the purpose only ofstandardizing the depth of immersion in the testing bath.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D04 on Roada

17、 and conforming to the requirements for Thermometer15C or 15F, respectively, as prescribed in Specification E1,orequivalent thermometric device.5.4.1 A thermometer consisting of K type 30 AWG gaugethermocouple and a meter capable of reading 25C (77F) to260C (500F). The thermocouple shall be 61 to 76

18、 cm (24 to30 in.) in length. This thermometer shall conform to thetemperature/voltage tables of the National Institute of Stan-dards and Technology and to the IEC 60854 standards for K-,J-, and T-type thermocouples.5.5 Testing BathA circular bath of at least 185 mm ininternal diameter and containing

19、 water at least 185 mm indepth; or a rectangular bath with minimum internal dimensionsof 150 mm width and 300 mm length, and containing water atleast 110 mm in depth. The height of the surface of thecontainer above the water shall be at least 40 mm. The bathshall be heated by electric, gas, or other

20、 suitable means.Astandor other suitable support shall be available to hold thethermometric device in the proper position in the bath duringthe test.5.6 Water Bath at 5C (41F)A water bath of suitabledimensions maintained at 5.0 6 1.0C (41.0 6 1.8F) whichmay be accomplished by means of melting ice.5.7

21、 Brass Pouring PlateA flat, smooth brass plate ap-proximately 75 by 50 mm that has been treated to prevent thebituminous material from adhering to it.Asuitable treatment isto coat the plate just before use with a thin layer of a mixtureof glycerin and dextrin, talc, or kaolin (china clay). Otherplat

22、es or coatings, or both, may be used, providing similarresults are achieved.6. Precautions6.1 Special precautions should be taken to ensure that thecollar fits tightly into the float and to see that there is noseepage of water between the collar and float during the test.7. Procedure7.1 Place the br

23、ass collar with the smaller end on the coatedplate.7.2 Melt the sample completely at the lowest possibletemperature that will bring it to a sufficiently fluid condition foreasy pouring, excepting creosote-oil residues, which shall bemixed and poured at a temperature of 100 to 125C (212 to257F). Stir

24、 the sample thoroughly until it is homogeneous andfree from air bubbles. Then pour it into the collar in anyconvenient manner until slightly more than level with the top.7.3 Emulsified AsphaltsTest the distillation residue fromTest Method D 6997 in accordance with Examination ofResidue, Float Test s

25、ection of Test Methods and PracticesD 244. The pouring temperature for high float emulsion resi-dues can be critical. If a high float residue sample fails orappears to be poured at a cooler than specified temperature, thespecified pouring temperature shall be confirmed in a refereesample by use of a

26、 30-gauge thermocouple probe and instru-ment. Position the thermocouple probe into the top center ofthe collar from above. Record the maximum temperaturemeasured while the residue is being poured into the collar. Fillthe collar until slightly more than level with the top, andquickly remove the therm

27、ocouple.7.3.1 Samples for which the minimum temperature readingof 218C (425F) was not attained shall not be tested for float.7.4 Asphalt and Asphalt ProductsCool asphalt and as-phalt products to room temperature for 15 to 60 min, then placethem for 5 min in the water bath at 5C, after which trim the

28、surplus material flush with the top of the collar by means of aspatula or steel knife that has been slightly heated. Then placethe collar and plate in the water bath at 5C and leave them inthis bath for 15 to 30 min.7.5 Tar ProductsImmediately immerse tar products for 5min in the water bath at 5C (4

29、1F), after which trim thesurplus material flush with the top of the collar by means of aspatula or steel knife that has been slightly heated. Then placethe collar and plate in the water bath at 5C (41F) and leavethem in this bath for not less than 15 nor more than 30 min.7.6 Heat the water in the te

30、sting bath to the temperature atwhich the test is to be made. This temperature shall not varythroughout the test more than 0.5C (0.9F) from the tempera-ture specified, using any suitable means of heating the bath,without stirring. Determine the temperature by immersing thethermometric measuring devi

31、ce with the bottom of the deviceat a depth of 40 6 2 mm below the water surface.7.7 After the material to be tested has been kept in the waterbath at 5C (41F) for 15 to 30 min, remove the collar with itscontents from the plate and screw into the aluminum float.Completely immerse the assembly for 1 m

32、in in the water bathat 5C (41F ). Then remove the water from the inside of thefloat and immediately float the assembly on the testing bath.Lateral drift of the assembly shall be permitted, but no spinningmotion shall be intentionally imparted thereto. As the plug ofFIG. 1 Float Test ApparatusD139072

33、material becomes warm and fluid, it is forced upward and outof the collar until the water gains entrance into the saucer andcauses it to sink.7.8 Determine the time, in seconds, between placing theapparatus on the water and the water breaking through thematerial by means of a stop watch, and take as

34、 a measure of theconsistency of the material under examination.8. Precision and Bias8.1 Criteria for judging the acceptability of float test resultsobtained by this test method are given in Table 1Precision.8.2 No information can be presented on bias of the proce-dure in Test Method D 139 for measur

35、ing Float because nomaterial having an accepted reference value is available.8.3 The equipment, personnel and quality procedures can beevaluated in accordance with D 3666.9.
