Summary of Practice4.1 The continuous grading temperature for each specifica-tion requirement is determined by interpolating between testresults obtained at two adjac

Thetwo temperatures are chosen so that the test result at onetemperature is greater than the specification requirement andthe test result at the other temperature is less than thespecification requirement.

27、 signs for temperaturesbelow 0 C.NOTE 4Because the properties are a non-linear function of tempera-ture adjacent grading temperatures should always be used in Eq 1 or Eq2. Otherwise the interpolation will give differing results.NOTE 5The TREND function in Excel performs linear regression andcan be u

Thearithmetic value of the properties and specification requirement are usedin the TREND function when calculating the

46、tinuous grade. For the interme-diate grading temperature, the continuous grade is equal to thecontinuous grading temperature (26.3 C).X1.3 Table X1.1, Column 3In column 3 the continuousgrading temperature for the original binder is in one gradeinterval (between 76 C and 82 C) below the interval for

47、theRTFOT (between 82 C and 88 C). The continuous gradingtemperature for the original controls the continuous grade anda second (failing) test result for the RTFOT condition is notneeded. However, the 82 C test result is needed to determinethe continuous grading temperature for the RTFOT conditionand

48、 the continuous upper grade. A similar situation can occurat the lower temperature if the continuous grading temperaturefor S and the m-value fall in different grading temperatureintervals.X1.4 Table X1.1, Column 4Several data errors that pre-vent the correct calculation of either the continuous gra

49、dingtemperature or the continuous grade are illustrated in column 4.The test results for the RTFOT residue do not bracket thespecification requirement. Therefore the continuous gradingtemperature cannot be determined and as a consequence theupper continuous grade cannot be determined. The test resultsfor the intermediate temperature were obtained at a 6-Cinterval whereas 3-C interval is required for the intermediatetemperature. The co
