Summary of Test Method4.1 The sample is brought to the testing temperature and transferred to a hydrometer cyli

19、nder at approximately the sametemperature. The cylinder and its contents are placed in a constant-temperature bath to avoid excessive temperature variationduring the test. The appropriate hydrometer is lowered into the sample and allowed to settle. After temperature equilibrium, thehydrometer is rea

36、8. Sampling8.1 Take samples in accordance with Practice D140. The sample shall be free of foreign substances.8.2 Thoroughly mix the sample before removing a representative portion for testing.9. Temperature of Test9.1 Because of differences in viscosity between various grades of cutback asphalts, th

37、e temperature of the test must be adjustedso that it will provide sufficient fluidity to conduct the test over a reasonable period of time. The recommended testing temperaturesfor the various grades shown in Table 2 are based on a viscosity of approximately 200 to 500 mm2/s (cSt).9.2 When the hydrom

38、eter value is to be used to select multipliers for correcting volumes to standard temperatures, thehydrometer reading should be made preferably at a temperature within 63C 5F63 C 5 F of the temperature at which thebulk volume of the oil was measured (Note 3). However, in cases when appreciable amoun

39、ts of light fractions may be lost duringdetermination at the bulk asphalt temperature, the temperatures given in Table 2 should not be exceeded.NOTE 3When metal cylinders are used, accurate reading of the hydrometer can only be ensured if the level of the sample is within 5 mm 14 in.of the top of th

40、e cylinder.10. Procedure10.1 Select the test temperature in accordance with the indications given in Section 9. Heat the sample in an oven to within 3C5F3 C 5 F of the test temperature but without exceeding it. Cover the container with a loose-fitting cover to prevent solventevaporation. Bring the h

41、ydrometer cylinder and thermometer to approximately the same temperature as the sample to be tested.TABLE 2 Recommended Testing Temperatures for VariousGrades of Cutback AsphaltsGrade TestingTemperature, F TestingTemperature, CMC-30 Room RoomSC-70, MC-70, RC-70 104 40SC-250, MC-250, RC-250 140 60SC-

43、es. Remove any air bubblesformed, after they have collected on the surface of the sample, by touching them with a piece of clean filter paper before insertingthe hydrometer.NOTE 4Volume and density correction tables are based on an average coefficient of expansion for a number of typical materials.

44、Since the samecoefficients were used in computing both sets of tables, corrections made over the same temperature interval minimize errors arising from possibledifferences between the coefficients of the material under test and the standard coefficients. This effect becomes more important as tempera

45、tures divergesignificantly from the standard table temperatures of 15C15 C or 60F.60 F.10.3 Place the cylinder containing the sample in the constant-temperature bath previously brought up to the test temperature60.5C 1.0F.60.5 C 1.0 F. Allow sufficient time for the sample to reach the bath temperatu

46、re 6 0.5C 1.0F0.5 C1.0 F and verify its temperature with the thermometric device. If a thermohydrometer is used, it may be lowered into the sampleat this point instead of the thermometric device. As soon as a steady thermometer reading is obtained, record the temperature ofthe sample to the nearest

47、0.2C 0.5F.0.2 C 0.5 F.10.4 Lower the hydrometer gently into the sample. Take care to avoid wetting the stem above the level to which it will beimmersed in the liquid. Allow sufficient time for the hydrometer to become completely stationary and for all air bubbles to cometo the surface. This is parti

48、cularly necessary in the case of the more viscous samples.10.5 When the hydrometer has come to rest, floating freely away from the walls of the cylinder, read the hydrometer to thenearest scale division. Take the reading by observing with the eye slightly above the plane of the surface of the liquid

49、, the pointon the hydrometer scale to which the sample rises. This reading, at the top of the meniscus, requires correction since hydrometersare calibrated to be read at the principal surface of the liquid. The corrections for the particular hydrometer in use may bedetermined by observing the maximum height above the principal surface of the liquid to which oil rises on the hydrometer scalewhen the hydro
