ASTM D2994-98

Standard Test Methods for Rubberized Tar (Withdrawn 2000)

SCOPE
1.1 These test methods cover the following procedures for rubberized tar:  Section Nonimmersed Penetration 5 Immersed Penetration 6 Volume and Weight Change 8 Flow 9 Softening Point 10 Viscosity 11 Water Content 12 Homogeneity 13
1.2 These test methods should not be used in the acceptance or rejection of materials since their precision statements have not been determined.  
1.3 This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems 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.
