ASTM E102-93(2003)e1

Standard Test Method for Saybolt Furol Viscosity of Bituminous Materials at High Temperatures

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This test method is useful in characterizing certain bituminous materials, as one element in establishing uniformity of shipments and sources of supply.
This test method is an extension of Test Method D 88.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the empirical procedures for determining the Saybolt Furol viscosities of bituminous materials at specified temperatures between 120 and 240°C (248 and 464°F).
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. See 8.1.

areas shall be efficiently hooded and kept free of sparks and
open flames. If the viscometer is hot, vaporization of xylene
can be reduced by filling the tube rapidly and immediately
allowing it to flow out through the orifice.Awooden toothpick
may be useful in cleaning the orifice.
NOTE 2—The viscometer may be kept clean by filling with cylinder oil
immediately after each test and allowing the oil to remain in the
viscometer for several minutes before draining and cleaning with xylene
as described above. If desired, the viscometer may be kept filled with
cylinder oil between runs, draining and cleaning with xylene just before
each test.
8.2 Set up the viscometer and bath in an area where they
will not be exposed to drafts or rapid changes in air tempera-
ture, and dust or vapors that might contaminate a sample.
8.3 Place the receiving flask beneath the viscometer so that
the graduation mark on the flask is from 100 to 130 mm (4 to
5 in.) below the bottom of the viscometer tube, and so that the
stream of liquid will just touch the neck of the flask.
8.4 Fill the bath to at least 6 mm ( ⁄4 in.) above the overflow
rim of the viscometer with an appropriate bath medium for the
selected test temperature:
8.4.1 Use SAE 40 grade oil for test temperatures up to
149°C (300°F).
8.4.2 For temperatures above 149°C (300°F), use a cylinder
oil having a viscosity of approximately 175 to 185 SUS at
98.9°C (210°F), and a minimum flash point of 300°C (572°F)
when tested in accordance with Test Method D 92.
