This adjustment o

18、f the total massof the assembly is for the purpose only of standardizing the depth of immersion in the testing bath.5.4 Thermometric DeviceAn ASTM Low Softening Point Thermometer, graduated in either Celsius or Fahrenheit degrees asspecified, having a range from 2 to +80C or +30 to +180F and conform

19、ing to the requirements for Thermometer 15C or 15F,respectively, 15C, as prescribed in Specification E1, or equivalent thermometric device.5.4.1 A thermometer consisting of K type 30 AWG gauge thermocouple and a meter capable of reading 25C (77F) to 260C(500F). 25 to 260C. The thermocouple shall be

20、61 to 76 cm (24 to 30 in.) in length. This thermometer shall conform to thetemperature/voltage tables of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and to the IEC 60854 standards for K-, J-, andT-type thermocouples.5.5 Testing BathA circular bath of at least 185 mm in internal diameter and c

21、ontaining water at least 185 mm in depth; or arectangular bath with minimum internal dimensions of 150 mm width and 300 mm length, and containing water at least 110 mmin depth. The height of the surface of the container above the water shall be at least 40 mm. The bath shall be heated by electric,ga

22、s, or other suitable means. A stand or other suitable support shall be available to hold the thermometric device in the properposition in the bath during the test.5.6 Water Bath at 5C (41F)5CAwater bath of suitable dimensions maintained at 5.0 6 1.0C (41.0 6 1.8F) which maybe accomplished by means o

23、f melting ice.FIG. 1 Float Test ApparatusD139 1625.7 Brass Pouring PlateAflat, smooth brass plate approximately 75 by 50 mm that has been treated to prevent the bituminousmaterial from adhering to it. A suitable treatment is to coat the plate just before use with a thin layer of a mixture of glyceri

24、n anddextrin, talc, or kaolin (china clay). Other plates or coatings, or both, may be used, providing similar results are achieved.6. Precautions6.1 Special precautions should be taken to ensure that the collar fits tightly into the float and to see that there is no seepage ofwater between the colla

25、r and float during the test.7. Procedure7.1 Place the brass collar with the smaller end on the coated plate.7.2 Melt the sample completely at the lowest possible temperature that will bring it to a sufficiently fluid condition for easypouring, excepting creosote-oil residues, which shall be mixed an

26、d poured at a temperature of 100 to 125C (212 to 257F). 125C.Stir the sample thoroughly until it is homogeneous and free from air bubbles. Then pour it into the collar in any convenient manneruntil slightly more than level with the top.7.3 Emulsified AsphaltsTest the distillation residue from Test M

27、ethod D6997 in accordance with Examination of Residue,Float Test section of Test Methods and Practices D244. The pouring temperature for high float emulsion residues can be critical.If a high float residue sample fails or appears to be poured at a cooler than specified temperature, the specified pou

28、ring temperatureshall be confirmed in a referee sample by use of a 30-gauge thermocouple probe and instrument. Position the thermocouple probeinto the top center of the collar from above. Record the maximum temperature measured while the residue is being poured intothe collar. Fill the collar until

29、slightly more than level with the top, and quickly remove the thermocouple.7.4 Asphalt and Asphalt ProductsCool asphalt and asphalt products to room temperature for 15 to 60 min, then place themfor 5 min in the water bath at 5C, after which trim the surplus material flush with the top of the collar

30、by means of a spatula orsteel knife that has been slightly heated. Then place the collar and plate in the water bath at 5C and leave them in this bath for15 to 30 min.7.5 Tar ProductsImmediately immerse tar products for 5 min in the water bath at 5C (41F), 5C, after which trim the surplusmaterial fl

31、ush with the top of the collar by means of a spatula or steel knife that has been slightly heated. Then place the collarand plate in the water bath at 5C (41F) and leave them in this bath for not less than 15 nor more than 30 min.7.6 Heat the water in the testing bath to the temperature at which the

32、 test is to be made. This temperature shall not varythroughout the test more than 0.5C (0.9F) from the temperature specified, using any suitable means of heating the bath, withoutstirring. Determine the temperature by immersing the thermometric measuring device with the bottom of the device at a dep

33、th of40 6 2 mm below the water surface.7.7 After the material to be tested has been kept in the water bath 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 min in the water bath at 5C(41F ). 5C. T

34、hen remove the water from the inside of the float and immediately float the assembly on the testing bath. Lateraldrift of the assembly shall be permitted, but no spinning motion shall be intentionally imparted thereto. As the plug of materialbecomes warm and fluid, it is forced upward and out of the

35、 collar until the water gains entrance into the saucer and causes it tosink.7.8 Determine the time, in seconds, between placing the apparatus on the water and the water breaking through the material bymeans of a stop watch, and take as a measure of the consistency of the material under examination.8
