The testing ofAsphalt-Rubber Binder for use in Asphalt- Rubber Hot Mixand for Asphalt-Rubber Membrane is necessary to ensureconsistent mix properties that will ensure good performance ofthese materials. Logistics of field applications limits the use ofconventional laborat

Thistest, using a hand held rotational viscometer can be conductedin either the field or laboratory to determine the apparentviscosity of Asphalt-Rubber and other high viscosity bindersfor field production control and to assess the uniformity of thebinder produced

A rotor (spindle), turning at constant speed, isinserted in the liquid binder to be meas

The resistance tomovement of the spindle (torque) caused by the viscosity of thesurrounding liquid is measured using a special mechanism toobtain direct readings in Pas or cP.NOTE 1Spindle generally made of stainless steel, although anothermetal such as brass could be used.3.3 The measured app

13、indle spins the rubber particles out of the measurementarea). Consequently, the apparent viscosity drops to reflect onlythe liquid phase of the high viscosity binder. Therefore, thepeak viscosity measurement value is recorded to reflect theviscosity of the blended material.4. Apparatus4.1 Viscometer

Calibration Verification5.1 Calibration of the rotational viscometer shall be verifiedprior to use at each site per manufacturers instructions usingthe reference viscosity standard oils.6. Sampling6.1

20、 The sample shall consist of at least 3 liters 0.75 gal ofthe completed mixture of A-R or other high viscosity binder.Obtain the sample from an appropriate sample valve located tointercept the normal flow of material during production.Perform sampling and testing in close proximity to the plantopera

21、tion to avoid undue temperature loss during handling.FIG. 1FIG. 2D7741/D7741M 11126.2 Prior to sampling, draw at least 3 liters 0.75 gal fromthe sampling valve and discard. Then open the sample valveand draw approximately 3 liters 0.75 gal into a new, cleansample can for testing.7. Test and sampling

22、 procedure7.1 As immediately as practical place the sample containerwith the drawn sample on a smooth, level support for finalpreparation and testing. Set the open sample container on orover the controllable heat source as appropriate7.2 Manually stir the sample using an appropriate metal stirrod to

23、 prevent scorching or burning. Use of the temperatureprobe for stirring is permitted.7.3 Continue stirring until a consistent specified test tem-perature is achieved. The test temperature shall be within62C 65F of the specified test temperature. The actual testtemperature shall be recorded with visc

24、osity data. Typical testtemperatures are 175C 350F or 190 C 375F, or asspecified.7.4 Insert the viscometer spindle, without plugging the ventholes of the spindle, into the hot A-R or other high viscositybinder near the edge of the sample container for about 1 minuteto equilibrate to the sample tempe

25、rature. Then move it to thetest location, approximately at the center of the sample, tomake the viscosity measurement. Immerse the spindle in theA-R or other high viscosity binder to the manufacturers depthmark on the connecting shaft. Use the level bubble to align thespindle perpendicular to the bi

26、nder surface and level theviscometer.After immersing the viscometer spindle in the A-R or otherhigh viscosity binder at the test location for 5 to 10 seconds,engage the viscometer and take a viscosity measurement inaccordance with the manufacturers instructions. Record theviscometer peak measurement

27、 as the viscosity test reading. Thetime interval between stirring, immersion of the spindle andtesting shall be approximately 15 seconds, and in no casegreater than 20 seconds. Three measurements shall be takenand averaged and reported as the viscosity. Between measure-ments the viscometer spindle s

28、hould be moved away from thecenter (without removing it from the A-R or other highviscosity binder sample) and the sample should be thoroughlystirred again.7.5 To clean the spindle assembly, return the viscometer toholder with spindle suspended in a suitable solvent. Beforeusing the spindle again, w

29、ash off the solvent and dry thespindle to avoid solvent contamination of the next sample.8. Reporting of results8.1 Report the test date, test temperature in C or F to thenearest degree and each of the three test viscosities to thenearest 0.1 Pas or 100 cP. Also report the average of the threeviscos

30、ities to the nearest 0.1 Pas or 100 cP.NOTE 2other information may be reported such as; project nameand/or number, location of plant, material (A-R or other high viscositybinder), supplier, equipment model.9. Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionAn Interlaboratory Asphalt-Rubber (A-R)Round Robin Study was

31、 conducted to develop the Precision ofthe test and detailed results of that study can be found inASTMReport Number D041039, entitled 9 Interlaboratory HandheldViscometer A-R Round Robin Study to Estimate the Precision(Repeatability and Reproducibility) of the Proposed ASTMStandard Handheld Viscomete

32、r Test Method9.3The study wasconducted in August 2010 on a construction project in thePhoenix, Arizona metropolitan area. For the purposes of thatstudy 12 one gallon cans of A-R were tested in the field usingthe handheld viscometer at 177 C 350 F in accordance withthe most current ASTM handheld visc

33、ometer draft testingstandard. The cans were labeled from 1 to 12 for purposes ofdistribution to five laboratories to conduct the same testconducted in the field with the same type of equipment. Twocans were selected at random and were delivered to each of thefive laboratories. Each laboratory report

34、ed the three viscositymeasurements that they took for each sample. From this testingalong with the three test measurements taken during construc-tion for all 12 samples, it was possible to develop the Precisionstatements for single operator and multi-laboratory.Single-Operator Precision Statement (R

35、epeatability)Duplicate values by the same operator using the same testequipment in the shortest practical period of time shall beconsidered not equivalent if the difference in the two results,expressed as a percent of the mean, exceeds 12.0 %.Multi-laboratory Precision (Reproducibility)The values re

36、ported by each of two laboratories, representingthe arithmetic average of duplicate determinations, shall beconsidered not equivalent if they differ by more than 22.0 %.9.2 BiasNo information can be presented on the bias ofthe procedure in this test method for measuring viscositybecause no material
