6、 Summary of Test Method3.1 A polished copper strip is immersed in a given quantityof sample and heated at a temperature and for a given timecharacteristic of the material being tested. At the end of thisperiod the copper strip is removed, washed, and compared withthe classifications of the TLA Coppe

7、r Tarnishing Ranges forcopper strips.4. Significance and Use4.1 Bitumen contains sulfur compounds most of which areremoved during refining, the resulting asphalt cement alsocontains sulfur compounds which are released at the tempera-tures above 230C (446F). Trinidad Lake Modified Asphaltcontains sul

8、fur compounds, which are released at lower tem-peratures between 170C (338F) and 230C (446F). Therelease of sulfur from Trinidad Lake Modified Asphalt tar-nishes the copper strip and appears to be related directly to thetotal TLA content. The copper strip test is designed to assessthe qualitative pr

9、esence of TLA in asphalt cements.5. Apparatus5.1 Test Tubes, 25 by 150 mm.5.2 Provide a bath, which can maintain a constant tempera-ture of 210 6 1C (410 6 2F) and 225 6 1C (437 6 2F).The bath should have suitable supports to hold the test tubes ina vertical position and immersed to a depth of about

10、 100-mm(4-in.). Oil or aluminum block baths are suitable.5.3 Thermometer, partial immersion for indicating the re-quired test temperature, with graduations 1C (2F) or less. TheASTM 2C (2F) thermometer is suitable.5.4 Polishing Vise, to hold the copper strip firmly withoutmarring the edge while polis

11、hing. Any suitable holder may beused provided that the surface is held tightly and the surfacebeing polished is supported above the surface of the holder.5.5 Viewing Test Tubes, flat glass test tubes, are convenientfor protecting corroded strip and may be used for closeinspection and storage.6. Mate

12、rials6.1 Wash SolventAny volatile, sulfur free hydrocarbonsolvent may be used that would show no tarnish when tested at210C or 225C.NOTE 1Toluene is a suitable solvent.6.2 Polishing Materials:6.2.1 Silicone carbide grip paper of varying degrees offineness including 65 m (240 grit) paper or cloth.6.2

The strips may be used repeatedly but should be discardedwhen the surfaces become deformed on handling.6.3.2 Surface PreparationRemove all surface blemishesfrom all

17、 six sides of the strip with silicone carbide paper ofsuch varying degrees of fineness as are needed to accomplishthe desired results efficiently. Finish with 65m (240 grit)silicone carbide paper or cloth, removing all marks that mayhave been made by other grades of paper used previously.Immerse the

18、 strip in wash solvent from which it can bewithdrawn immediately for final preparation (polishing) or inwhich it can be stored for future use.6.3.2.1 As a practical manual procedure for the surfacepreparation, place a sheet of paper on a flat surface, moisten itwith kerosene or wash solvent, and rub

19、 the strip against thepaper with a rotary motion, protecting the strip from contactwith the fingers using an ashless filter paper. Alternatively, thesurface of the strip can be prepared by use of motor-drivenmachines using appropriate grades of dry paper or cloth.6.3.3 Final PreparationRemove a stri

20、p from the washsolvent. Holding it in the fingers protected with ashless filterpaper, polish first the ends and then the sides with the 105m(150mesh) silicone carbide grains picked up from a cleanglass plate with a pad of cotton (cotton wool) moistened witha drop of wash solvent. Wipe vigorously wit

21、h fresh pads ofcotton (cotton wool) and subsequently handle only withstainless steel forceps. Do not touch with fingers. Clamp in avise and polish the main surfaces with silicone carbide grainson absorbent cotton. Do not polish in a circular motion. Rub inthe direction of the long axis of the strip,

22、 carrying the strokebeyond the end of the strip before reversing direction. Clean allmetal dust from the strip by rubbing vigorously with clean padsof absorbent cotton until a fresh pad remains unsoiled. Whenthe strip is clean, immediately immerse it in the preparedsample.6.3.3.1 It is important to

23、polish the whole surface of the stripuniformly to obtain a uniformly stained strip. If the edges showwear (surface elliptical) they will likely show more corrosionthan the center. The use of a vise will facilitate uniformpolishing.6.3.3.2 It is important to follow the order of preparationwith the co

24、rrectly sized silicone carbide material as describedin 6.3.2 and 6.3.3. The final preparation is with 105msilicone carbide grains. This is a larger grain size than the65m paper used in the surface preparation stage. The reasonfor this use of larger silicone carbide grains in the finalpreparation is

25、to produce asperities (controlled roughness) onthe surface of the copper which acts as sites for the initiation ofcorrosion reactions.7. Sample Preparation7.1 The binder shall be acquired either from productiontanks, according to Practice D 140, or from asphalt mixes,according to the procedures in T

26、est Method D 2172 and TestMethod D 1856. Store the sample material in a clean, darkglass or metal container or other suitable containers such thatthe properties of the sample are not affected. Fill the containersas completely as possible and seal immediately.7.2 To produce a test sample, heat the re

27、covered binderslowly to approximately 135C with constant stirring, by hand,until molten. Stir the sample thoroughly again before decantinginto the sample test tubes.8. Procedure8.1 Place 1520 mL of the molten recovered binder sample,which is free of any entrained water or suspended water, intoeach o

28、f two clean and dry test tubes. Insert a polished copperstrip into each test tube within one (1) minute of completing thefinal strip preparation. Ensure that the strip is vertically held inthe sample with approximately 4457 mm (134 214 in.) of thestrip projecting out of the sample mixture.8.2 Place

29、the test tubes in the bath, which has beenmaintained at 210C and leave for 25 min.8.3 Strip Examination:8.3.1 Empty the contents of each test tube into a 150mLtall-form beaker, allowing the strip to slide out gently to avoidbreakage. Remove the strip immediately with clean stainlesssteel forceps and

30、 immerse in the wash solvent for not longerthan 30 s. Remove and blot dry with quantitative filter paper.Inspect the strip for evidence of tarnishing or color changewhile holding at an angle of approximately 45. Compare thestrip to the classification given in the TLA Copper TarnishingRanges (see Tab

31、le 1).8.3.2 In handling the test strip during inspection, care mustbe taken to avoid damage by marking or staining. A flat glasstube, which can be stoppered with absorbent cotton, may beused as a viewing aid.8.4 If the surface of the strip is unchanged, raise the bathtemperature to 225C and allow to

32、 stand for 25 min. Replacethe strip in the test tube and place in the bath for 25 min.Repeat paragraph 8.3 for strip examination.9. Interpretation9.1 Interpret the Trinidad Lake Asphalt presence and con-tent of the sample accordingly as the appearance of the teststrip agrees with one of the strips i

33、n the TLA CopperTarnishing Standard in Table 1.9.2 If there is a color change at 210C, conclude that thebitumen contains TLA and has a TLA content greater than25 %.9.3 If there is a color change at 225C, conclude that thebinder contains TLA and has a TLA content of less than 25 %.10.
